  • Russia's Policies for Arctic Cities
    RUSSIAN ANALYTICAL DIGEST No. 129, 24 June 2013 2 ANALYSIS Russia’s Policies for Arctic Cities By Alexander Pilyasov, Moscow Abstract Although the population of Russia’s Arctic has shrunk notably in the past two decades, the region contin- ues to be highly urbanized. The process of developing sustainable, economically self-sufficient, and socially resilient urban centers requires the implementation of informed and directed policy at the federal and local level. In order to assist in informing better policy, this article establishes several categories of northern urban centers based on their economies, political situation, and social networks. The efficacy of policy is analyzed through two case studies, the cities of Muravlenko and Gubkinsky, which have experienced divergent out- comes despite their proximity and organization. Finally, some general policy recommendations are proposed for the different urban categories, based on their varying needs and characteristics.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

    Elena A. Korchak. The long-term dynamics of the social space… 100 UDC 316.42(985)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.38.121 The Arctic territories of Russia: long-term dynamics of the social space © Elena A. KORCHAK, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), senior researcher E-mail: [email protected] Luzin Institute for Economic Studies, Federal Research Centre “Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, Apatity, Russia Abstract. The Arctic territories of Russia were explored and populated rigorously and purposefully during the Soviet period. The settling pattern was then based on the industrial capabilities of the Arctic areas (mineral deposits), considering the need to develop relevant transport infrastructure. The incentive com- ponent of the Soviet propaganda of Arctic development was aimed at mobilizing the skilled workforce. The market transformation in the late 20th century caused a rapid deterioration in the social and economic sit- uation nation-wide: the state abandoned protectionism of the Arctic territories so that state-provided pref- erences were significantly reduced. Such transformations eventually entailed the reduction of social and economic services and a large-scale migration outflow in the Arctic territories. The current social and eco- nomic situation in the Arctic is still characterized by a negative migration balance, which determines a de- cline in the level of labor force participation. The negative migration balance is attributable to the lower economic attractiveness of the region, which again brings about the issue of unemployment in the Arctic. Destructive processes in the social and economic development of the Arctic territories of Russia shape mul- ti-faceted threats to its stable evolution.

Arkhangelsky1, 2 1 Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, 119991, Russia 2 ISESP FCTAS RAS, Moscow, 117218, Russia Received 27 February 2021 ♦ Accepted 15 March 2021 ♦ Published 09 April 2021 Citation: Arkhangelsky VN (2021) Fertility in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Population and Economics 5(1): 72-89. https://doi.org/10.3897/popecon.5.e65207 Abstract The article is devoted to the analysis of fertility indicators in the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Along with the total fertility rate for all births, the author traces the dynamics of birth order-specific fertility rates, as well as actual cohort fertility rates estimated by 2010 All-Russian census data. Particular attention is paid to the differences between these indicators in urban districts and municipal areas of the region. When considering the possible relationship of fertility indicators with the implementation of regional measures of demographic policy, special attention is paid to third and subsequent births, the level and dynamics of which can be influenced by the amount of regional maternal (family) capital, which is larger in the Yamal– Nenets Autonomous Okrug than in other federal subjects of Russia. The results of the analysis show that the Yamal–Nenets Autonomous Okrug is among regions with a relatively high level and a young model of fertility. To a greater extent, this manifests itself in the second, third and subsequent births. Keywords age-specific fertility, demographic policy, order of birth, cohort fertility, total fertility rate, Yamal–Ne- nets Autonomous Okrug JEL codes: J11, J13 Introduction Fertility largely determines the mode of population reproduction, its natural growth, and therefore the dynamics of the population size in general.
