| Abstract: | Àt present the Russian state and civil society are intrinsically interested in constant contact and cooperation to ensure timely response to challenges and threats to the social and economic development of the country. The effectiveness of the Russian state and its ability to advance strategic goals of the country is ensured by its greater transparency and accountability to the society.Despite ongoing efforts to set up procedures of interaction between the state and society, these initiatives have not gained sufficient popularity among Russian citizens. At the same time, independent non-government platforms allowing citizens to express their views on current issues have existed for quite a long time. |

| Abstract: | Keeping pace of development of the Russian health care system requires improving the efficiency of spending. In developed countries, an important role in this task plays a multilevel system of evaluation and control of cost-effectiveness and results of operations of the health system and its individual members, supported by the use of evaluation findings in political and administrative decisions in the health sector, financial incentives and information support of participants in the evaluation. Effective today in Russia, the system for monitoring the effectiveness of the health system is largely a formality and does not meet modern political tasks. The most acute problems in assessing the effectiveness of the country include the lack of evaluation of individual elements, first of all, health technology assessment; the poor quality of data collected, the weak development of mechanisms for the implementation of evaluation results, in particular, the development of public policies promoting health care providers, informing the public about the quality of services provided. The aim of the present work is the development of basic mechanisms for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Russian health care system, taking into account the best international and domestic experience. |

| Abstract: | The research presented in this paper focuses on the sustainable use of water resources in Russia based on a Foresight study with a 20-year time horizon. The study uses a scenario-planning method to develop four trajectories: economic depression, economic stagnation, visionary future, and national priority. These four trajectories offer significantly different yet plausible alternative futures. The current paper draws upon the earlier horizon scanning activity, which identified a set of trends, weak signals and wild cards, along with their implications for water resources in Russia. Based on this work, it identifies key factors and indicators, which may characterize future developments in the following domains: (i) the sustainability of water systems; (ii) water use by households and industry; and (iii) new water products and services. The evolution of variables and indicators will then be considered under the scenarios termed ‘Nearly perfect future’ (economic growth), ‘Problem conservation’ (economic stagnation), ‘Losses and accidents’ (economic depression), and ‘National priority’ trajectories. The paper concludes with a brief description of further research directions, including a discussion on the probability of the scenarios being implemented. Russian policy makers and water companies may use the scenarios to adapt (i.e. plan for timely responses), avert certain undesirable future developments, or approximate the visionary future of the sector |

| Abstract: | This paper is a short English version of my various articles on this topic published in Russian, in journals: «The business and the law» (Chozjaistvo i pravo) and «The patents and licenses» (Patenti i licenzii). As is known modern Russian revolution in the field of intellectual property legislation occurred January 1, 2008: on this day Russian intellectual property legislation was codified, included in the text of the Civil code of the Russian Federation as part fourth of the Civil Code (CC). Part fourth of the Russian CC (Federal law ¹230-FZ, 2006) entered into force on January 1, 2008. Second Revolution in this field took place during 2014: Federal law ¹35-FZ, 2014, substantially amending the Fourth part on the CC, entered into force on October the first 2014. The essence and evaluation of these amendments is the subject matter of this paper. Factually the Federal Law ¹35-FZ (2014) is the eleventh law amending the text of the part fourth of the CC. But all previous amendments were small and not substantional. As far as amendments introduced by the law ¹35-FZ (2014) are concerned, they are numerous and very, very substantional. I cannot say that the law ¹35-FZ (2014) represents a new Revolution in the field of intellectual property legislation of my country, but I convinced, that the law is a rather big step towards building a modern system of intellectual property legislation in Russia. Before entering into force of the law ¹35-FZ (2014) (thereafter - law 35-FZ), the Part fourth of the CC contained 328 articles. The law 35-FZ amends 169 articles of it and adds to it new seven articles |

The investment community is critical because it sets the tone, indicating the direction for business development. Investment approach to business valuation takes into account social issues, environmental risks and the quality of corporate governance, called "socially responsible investment» (SRI). For asset managers SRI funds, the initial criterion for inclusion in the company's portfolio is the company's rating on ESG. SRI market is growing and has reached such proportions that it can not be ignored. Total assets according to Eurosif is 7.5 trillion euro. The emergence of new requirements forcing companies to pay attention to the factors of sustainable development and take into account ESG-factors in the strategy development and management of company value.

| Abstract: | Problems of introducing the principles and methods of reputation management into the activity of Russian educational institutions, including the use of different models for ranking, are more than one year left in the field of the most active discussions. During this time, basic conceptual line in this matter were identified and initial experience as an integration of Russian higher education in international rating and the development of their national rating systems was obtained. But it became obvious and serious obstacles for the application of techniques of the world rankings in domestic practice. This is largely due to objective factors, reflecting the complexity of the transition of the Russian education, the ambiguity of the modern social order and contradictions of the global socio-cultural space. But the effect and underestimation of the role of rating in the development of modern educational management, formalization of the policy direction of reputation of educational institutions. A departure from the formalization of the process, focus on informal mechanisms and methods of integration of rating principles can be the basis for improving the process of administration of the university, and for a new stage in the development of the national education system. |

| Abstract: | Analysis of the regulatory practice of price discrimination shows that in most cases the decision of antitrust authorities challenged in court and in more than 50% of cases are canceled. In addition, from 2009 to 2013 in the arbitration courts of various levels was considered 227 cases of violation of the antimonopoly legislation on sub 6 paragraph 1 of Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Competition number 135, indicating a high load on the judicial system and anti-monopoly authorities in the regulation of price discrimination . As a result of the proposed methods for the assessment of indicators proposed form of price discrimination practices of formation of commodity prices under oligopoly to form the upper limit of the price, which will reduce the price differentiation between buyers and not the associated costs for the implementation of sales. Also, to reduce the capacity to implement price discrimination suggests approaches to improve the practices of the exchange trading in commodity markets. |

| Abstract: | Since the promising start of its transition from a centrally planned economy to capitalism, Hungary has failed to join Western Europe in terms of living standards and democracy. The dominant political figure in Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, shares many features with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Both view the increasing role of the state as economically beneficial, and both consider the Western European economic model to be flawed. Hungary is headed towards centrally planned capitalism, demonstrated by the partial nationalization of the banking sector, the monopolization of some sectors of the economy, and the reversal of the pension reforms of 1998. Plagued by the most persistent budget deficit of any post-communist country, Hungary's greatest challenge is to establish a fiscally sustainable growth path. |
