| Abstract: | In the last 25 years, various processes of differentiation in the use of rural areas and the production of food have taken place in the Russian Federation. The socio-spatial characteristics of these processes are rather sketchy and approximate. This study seeks to provide a systemic interdisciplinary picture of the transformation of rural regions and communities, primarily related to the specifics (problems and prospects) of food production and distribution, as well as the development of recommendations in the field of state and regional programs for rural spatial development. To solve these tasks, the development of characteristics, indicators and indicators of spatial and food monitoring of rural settlements and regions of the Russian Federation was made, an attempt was made through analysis of the category "civil society" in rural areas of Russia and foreign countries to compare the spatial and food aspects of rural settlements and regions The Russian Federation and a number of countries of the near and far abroad. The article introduces the results of spatial and food monitoring using the tools and results of quantitative and qualitative research carried out in 2015-2016 by the Center for Agrarian Research of RANEPA |

| Abstract: | Recent world developments pose a direct challenge to the authority and effectiveness of international law. The actions of Russia in Ukraine, and China in the South China Sea, represent a particular threat. These actions are in clear violation of international law, involving the threat or use of armed force and the seizure of territory, and Russia and China are permanent members of the UN Security Council – the body charged by the international community with maintaining international peace and security. Putting further potential strain on the international legal order is the marked shift towards nationalism in many states, most notably the United States under Donald Trump. This article argues that the international community should not accept these developments as inevitable. Support for multilateralism over isolationism and unequivocal condemnation of breaches of international law are needed now more than ever. |

| Abstract: | The aim of the study was to identify and describe the main behavioral patterns of youth groups with different levels of professional education in the modern labor market, as well as identify factors that contribute to the formation of the behavioral patterns. All participants in the study (young workers, employers, representatives of employment services), each from their positions, characterize the problem of youth employment not only as a problem of the lack of vacancies for young people, but as a problem of the lack of quality vacancies, assuming permanent employment, an acceptable salary level, social guarantees. In this sense, comparing the number of unemployed youth with the number of vacancies, which allows making optimistic conclusions, is unproductive in terms of achieving the goals of social stability and the development of human capital. |

| Abstract: | The world energy system is going through serious changes under the influence of a number of factors. On the one hand, the economic growth of developing countries shifts energy demand to increasingly higher levels, raising prices, and stimulating investment in both geological exploration, development of mining technologies, and the development of renewable energy sources around the world. On the other hand, technological progress, the unrealized potential for energy efficiency of energy demand, the growing environmental burden from the use of fossil fuels, global climate change, lead to a reduction in final energy demand and a change in its structure in favor of more "clean" sources. For Russia, the largest producer and exporter of energy resources, understanding and forecasting these changes is an important and urgent task in the formation of a long-term growth strategy. |

| Abstract: | Basing on the analysis of Russian and foreign practices of grain market regulation and computer experiments on the imitation model of the Russian wheat market, the paper proposes the reasons why the measures to regulate the Russian grain market did not reach, as a rule, the goals set forth in the Law on Agricultural Development adopted in 2006. Proposals for improving regulatory mechanisms are justified. The most important of them: commodity and procurement interventions should be carried out according to the rules established by law and according to pre-approved, and not at current exchange prices; It is advisable to regulate commodity and procurement interventions in the grain market using rules that are transparent to the market and allow independent monitoring of their implementation; The formula for annual specification of borders of a price corridor is offered. In the process of improving the system of regulation of the national grain market, it is suggested to follow a strategy aimed at moving in the long term from the system of commodity and purchasing interventions to the system of compensation for price losses similar to that introduced in the United States in 2014. |

| Abstract: | The work deals with the development of the texts of "holy letters" and "letters of happiness" in the Russian-language tradition of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as a system of texts placed in a complex communicative context. The same text can function (and be perceived in different groups) as a magical artifact, a sacred text / legend, a counterrevolutionary leaflet, a samizdat prayer, a child's play, etc. As letters from the manuscript collections of the Apocrypha come to the Internet and move from the situation of being in a limited local group to publication in the central mass media, the participants of the communication constantly correct it, basing both on their ideas about the pragmatics of this tradition and on the previous experience of interaction with the genre of "circular Letters ". In the work, one can trace the emergence of one of the most popular "holy letters" of the 1950-1980s and its transformation at all levels: genre, textual, actional, discursive, functional. |

| Abstract: | From an economic point of view, cooperation is an alternative type of business, which is possible in virtually any field of activity. If people are dissatisfied with how private entrepreneurs or the state meet their needs, they can organize a cooperative, supporting and developing a joint business in the hope of obtaining benefits (the best service or service that is not available in the area). In the context of backdrop of the agriculturally developed countries, Russian cooperation looks extremely depressing. Nevertheless, the state is making attempts to revive the cooperative movement in the country, but it has not been very successful so far. In this connection, the question arises of how cooperatives (as well as small agricultural producers, on which state programs for the development of cooperation are primarily directed) react to similar programs, their economic situation, and what management models there are. |

| Abstract: | A study of the world experience has shown that one of the main conditions ensuring achievement of the main goals in the education of professional accountants is the development and implementation of uniform requirements for their educational and professional training. These requirements, on the one hand, must correspond to the positions of the entire professional community, but, on the other hand, they can not contradict national regulatory requirements. The need to unify the requirements for the professional training of accountants has become especially relevant after Russia's transition to the application of IFRS. |

| Abstract: | The volume of socially important services depends not only on the size, but also on the age and gender structure of the population. When developing strategic and territorial planning documents, it is necessary to take into account both all-Russian trends (fluctuations in the share of the child population, a steady increase in the proportion of people older than working age) and regional specifics (intensity and directions of migration flows, restructuring of the resettlement system). The analysis showed that the migration processes in Moscow entail significant changes in the volume and structure of consumption of socially important services, while also having a strong impact on the structure of their consumption in the future. |

| Abstract: | The article studies macroeconomic effects of reducing oil export duty in the neoclassical general equilibrium model for the Russian economy. It is shown that in the current economic environment with low oil prices, this tax reform can be virtually painless for the economy. At the same time, if considered economic policy measure will force the oil refining industry to modernise its production facilities, there will be a positive effect on output in the economy and the welfare of domestic economic agents in the long run. |

| Abstract: | The existence of agglomeration effects is one of the most stable and universal empirical results in the modern economy. "Agglomeration effects" is a general term for all channels of influence of the geographical density of economic activity on the productivity of factors of production. The locomotive of modern economy is cities - places of concentration of the population, firms, market transactions. It is in the cities where most of the added value is created in industrial and post-industrial economies. |

| Abstract: | In the urban economics, the distribution of people and real estate prices depends on the location of the central business district. As distance from the city center increases, both prices and population density diminish, for travel costs increase in terms of time and money. As manufacturing gradually leaves the cities, the importance of consumer amenities as attractors of population to the urban areas increases. The role of the business center is being taken over by the consumer center. This paper identies the location of the consumer center of St. Petersburg - the second largest city in Russia and its former capital. For this purpose using data from open sources on the Internet regarding the location of dierent types of urban amenities, the indices of their spatial density are computed. Using weights based on coefficients of spatial variation and surveys, the individual indices are aggregated to two general centrality indices. Their unique maxima correspond to the city center of St. Petersburg, which is located on Nevsky prospekt, between Fontanka river and Liteinyi prospekt. |

| Abstract: | After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the growth of religiosity was evident in all three republics of the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia); This growth was part of not only the general post-Soviet phenomenon, but also part of a broader trend of desecularization. People in all three republics perceive this growth as a "return" of their original ethnic and cultural identities. However, the growth of religious sentiments and the public role of religions can be interpreted as not only "return", but as a new "invention", at least "reformatting" religion by various actors, from ordinary "religious entrepreneurs" (religious entrepreneurs) to political Elites and governments. In any case, religious meanings and references, closely linked to ethnic ones, have become an inevitable component of public debate, electoral politics, mass mobilization, and individual identities |

| Abstract: | This paper estimates the role of policy and exchange rate uncertainty shocks for EU countries' exports to the world economy. We examine the performance of the four biggest economies, namely Germany, France, Italy and the UK, under policy and exchange rate uncertainty in exports to some of the most important global export destinations (United States, Japan, Brazil, Russia, and China). For this purpose, we apply a non-linear model, where suddenly strong spurts of exports occur when changes of the exchange rate go beyond a zone of inaction, which we call "play" area - analogous to mechanical play. We implement an algorithm describing path-dependent play-hysteresis into a regression framework. The hysteretic impact of real exchange rates on exports is estimated based on the period from 1995M1 to 2015M12. Looking at some of the main export destinations of our selected EU member countries, the United States, Japan and some of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia and China), we identify significant hysteretic effects for a large part of the EU member countries' exports. We find that their export activity is characterized by "bands of inaction" with respect to changes in the real exchange. |

| Abstract: | In many countries, investment in human capital is seen as an instrument to stimulate economic growth and full employment, and a high level of knowledge, skills and competences of the population are recognized as the key to the success and security of the state in the world arena. The paper is devoted to the study of the concept of human capital and its evolution in history, as well as the analysis of the role of human capital in economic literature. So, first of all we formulate the definition of human capital. In the following we describe the evolution of the concept of human capital in the works of foreign and Russian economists. Then we consider the ways of measuring human capital and carry out a comparative analysis of the concepts of human capital and human potential. In conclusion, the results of the analysis are formulated. |

| Abstract: | Large-scale and ambitious tasks of the country's development can be achieved only on condition of effective activity of state authorities. One of the ways to increase their effectiveness is the approach based on large-scale implementation of project management. Since the project activity in public authorities has not yet become widespread, a scientific justification of the effectiveness of this direction is required, the identification of mechanisms and the development of tools for the formation of teams that can effectively solve project tasks. Unlike functional and management teams, project teams as a concept and as a new reality only appear in the public sphere. The work defines the mechanisms and tools for the formation of effective teams for the solution of tasks of various types by the executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. |

| Abstract: | "Decrees on justice" - a group of individual legal acts issued by the kings of Mesopotamia; Best of all, this practice is known for the period of the First Babylonian dynasty, which includes, in particular, the most conserved text of such an act - the "Ammitsaduka Decree" (1646 BC). The complex of measures implemented in the decree included such a practice specific to ancient Mesopotamia (in Akkadian misarum or andurarum), as a write-off of debts between individuals, which was accompanied by the return of the sold property to former owners. This practice allowed over the centuries to maintain a relatively low level of property stratification, preventing the emergence of a hereditary estate of large landowners. In the present work the first Russian scientific translation of the Ammitsaduk's Decree with a detailed commentary, as well as a study of the distribution, law enforcement and social significance of misarum and andurarum in a broad historical context is presented. |

| Abstract: | In this paper we investigate the determinants of economic development. We use several multi-country panel databases. We used the correlation of the basket and the structural model uranveny (SEM) as instrumentarium. We found that the most important factors for development are the institutional characteristics of the country. Other important factors are the involvement in world trade and the variables related to the economic and debt policy (transfers, subsidies, taxes, grants and so forth.), as well as with the private sector. Development is determined by such indicators as the GDP per capita in constant prices PPP, health care and education quality. From the forecast of estimated SEM model,we found that without a major institutional reform Russia risks sliding into a lower (by world standards) level of development in the medium run. |

| Abstract: | The paper is devoted to the method of studying the influence of social changes on the reproductive behavior of the population. Numerous studies suggest that transformations of the social order in a certain community often lead to a change in the characteristics of the birth rate in a given community. In order to study these processes, it is important to summarize the available knowledge on the kinds of social transformations which are most likely to affect fertility, and what demographic indicators are to be used when examining the changes in fertility in social transformations. Both questions are considered in the paper. |
