AbstractThe why and the how of knowledge production are examined in the case of the transnational cooperation between the directors of observatories in the Far East who drew up unified typhoon-warning codes in the period 1900–1939. The why is prompted by the socioeconomic interests of the local chambers of commerce and international telegraphic companies, although this urge has the favourable wind of Far Eastern meteorologists’ ideology of voluntarist internationalism. The how entails the persistent pursuit of consensus (on ends rather than means) in international meetings where non-binding resolutions on codes and procedures are adopted. The outcome is the co-production of standardised knowledge, that is, the development of a series of processes and practices that co-produce both knowledge and ideas about the social order in a force field characterised by negotiations and power struggles.

The paper is based on archival materials about the activities of the Kuibyshev Planning Institute of the 1930s. It reconstructs the biography of the Russian and Soviet diplomat, military and academic of the first third of the 20th century, Vasily Lvovich Pogodin (1870 - after 1937). The study reveals a set of documentary evidence on the diplomatic and pedagogical career of V. Pogodin in the first years of the Soviet power, and determines the features of his pedagogical and party activities in Kuibyshev in 1933-1937. The author highlights a special role of the Planning Institute party committee materials as well as the high school workers trade union in the reconstruction of Pogodins biography. The paper emphasizes that Pogodin was considered to be one of the best lecturers of the Kuibyshev Planning Institute and a credible party worker. It is noted that his noble origin, service in the tsarist army and membership in the party of the Social Revolutionaries until 1937 were not the reason for penalties or prosecution by the party or the university administration. As a result, the author concludes that the fate of Vasily Lvovich Pogodin shows an extraordinary character of his personality. He made a brilliant military career in the years of the late Russian empire and became a major general of the Russian imperial army. Then he managed to integrate into the new Soviet system, radically changing the sphere of his activity and having achieved no less outstanding results in diplomacy and education. He became the plenipotentiary representative of the Far Eastern Republic in China, the director of a number of educational and cultural institutions of the Far East, then a professor of political economy in Kuibyshev.

The article presents an analysis of the dynamics of self-employed citizens of the Far-Eastern federal district. The quantitative effect as a result of introduction of a special tax regime «Tax on professional income» is presented. An assessment of expectations of the local authorities in the regions of the Far East from the introduction of special tax regime is given. A retrospective of status of the self-employed at the legislative level is presented. An assessment of the most rapidly developing spheres of activity of the self-employed is given, an attempt is made to draw up a social portrait of this category of citizens. The analysis of job search activity of the self-employed and their hiring by employers has been carried out. It is shown that as a result of lack of exhaustive concept of the category of «self-employed», enshrined at the legislative level, there is confusion with the self-identification of persons who consider themselves as self-employed citizens. In addition, there are a number of economic, legal and social problems that the self-employed face today. According to the author, development of the legislative activity in this direction (development of the state support programs, national projects in the field of small and medium-sized businesses, expansion of the rights of the self-employed, etc.), expansion of the economic and sociological research of this category of citizens (in particular, selective observation, compilation an exhaustive social portrait, inclusion of a large social group of self-employed in the social structure of the society) contributes to a more active «exit from the shadows», legalization of implementation of their own activities, overcoming difficulties arising on the way of self-employed, growth of trust in the authorities. The conclusions are formulated on the basis of results of a sociological survey of citizens.

The subject of this study is formation and effectiveness of measures of the state support for development of the economy of the Far-Eastern federal district of the Russian Federation. The article discusses measures of investment, infrastructural and financial support for the economic entities and the social sphere of the Far East, which have been formed in the recent years under the influence of the goals of its development, the structural transformation of the economy of the Far-Eastern regions and external challenges caused by financial and economic crises. Particular attention is paid to the measures of state support for development of the investment activities in the Far East, financial support for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as support for the economy in connection with the new challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic. The qualitative difference in external challenges, crisis phenomena associated with the economic, financial reasons, as well as the causes of the crisis caused by a viral pandemic require constant transformation and development of mechanisms and measures to support the economy. Difference in the reasons entails fundamental differences in the means of ensuring recovery growth. It is shown that the constant adjustment and readjustment of measures to support the development of the Far Eastern economy and business, the variety of measures proposed to accelerate the development of the economy and create a new quality of life for the population of the Far East did not become a driver of accelerated growth. New challenges can become a platform for the further transformation of structure of the Far-Eastern economy and make it necessary to adjust the priorities, tools and measures to support development of the Far-Eastern economy.

The article provides estimates of the social discount rate and regional welfare weights for the Russian Far East territories. The key parameter for their calculations is the elasticity of the marginal utility of consumption, estimated for the Russian Federation as a whole on the basis of the consumer demand function for food products. It’s revealed that for different territories should be applied different social discount rates for to assess the social effects of projects with state participation. The reason is that territories differ in the quality of life, which can be traced through interregional differences in the level and dynamic of the domestic consumer market as well as the size and structure of household income and expenditure. The social discount rate is sensitive to the future annual growth rate of household consumption in the region. If we take the actual average annual rates for 2000–2018 as forecast values, the Sakhalin Oblast has the highest social discount rate (12 per cent), and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug has the lowest rate (7.6 per cent). Regional welfare weights show how the regions of the Far East are ranked according to the degree of impact of public investment on marginal changes in the welfare of their households. Thus, the lowest marginal increase in welfare in the Far Eastern Federal District will be observed in the Sakhalin Region, followed by the Khabarovsk Territory. From the social efficiency point this casts doubt on the choice of these regions as priority locations for large-scale public projects. On the other hand the largest effect of public projects for the improving of welfare will be observed in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and the Zabaikalsky Krai. These regions are characterized by the highest values of regional welfare weights in the Far East for 2018, and consequently the highest marginal welfare growth for households due to public investment. It is worth noting that in 2010 the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Kamchatsky Krai were characterized by the highest values of the regional welfare weights in the Far East. By 2018 these two regions significantly improved their positions. Despite the fact that the regional welfare weights for most of the Far Eastern regions decreased significantly, for the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and the Zabaikalsky Krai this decrease was minimal (2 per cent and 5 per cent respectively)

The pre-emptive right to purchase and sell agricultural land by the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the maximum size of agricultural land plots, the allocation of shares among rural residents and some other features of agricultural legislation are restrictions on the realization of the right of rural residents to own land. The lack of adequate infrastructure in rural areas, especially in the Far East that fall under the Far Eastern Hectare project, is also seen as an obstacle for rural residents to exercise their right to land.

The article describes the directions of distribution of books for children in the Eastern regions of Russia that have appeared in the last decade. Based on a combination of landscape-reconstructing principles, surveys, and comparative typological analysis, the article presents data that expand previously studied aspects of the functioning of the main channels for the sale of books for children in the Siberian-Far Eastern region. It is shown that books for children are the largest segment of the Russian book market, which has been growing since 2008. At the regional level, they are widely presented in all book distribution channels: bookselling networks and independent stores; online stores; book departments of supermarkets (non-core retail); kiosks and stalls; book fairs. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current trends in the distribution of books for children in the region. Positive trends typical for the children book market in the Siberian-far Eastern region are identified. They are: the activity of children book supermarkets, the appearance of independent small stores of club-backstage format, the organization of specialized children Internet projects; increasing the importance of regional book exhibitions, fairs, festivals and holidays in the distribution of books for children; projects support by major Russian patrons. The significance of the study of new practices for the distribution of literature for children and youth in the region is determined by their influence on the formation of a new conceptual model for the popularization of reading, based on the idea of culture as a powerful lever of socio-economic development of territories.
