It would be unjust to say that languages of ethnic minorities of Siberia and the Far East of Russia have not received the attention of linguists and anthropologists, yet until now there has been no book that has gathered, classified, and compared data on the sociolinguistic situation of these minorities over the whole Soviet period. This is the topic of Vakhtin's new book. It deals almost exclusively with the exterior aspect of the history of the languages; it does not analyze structural changes in the languages themselves.

The article is devoted to the problems of forming a sources base for studying the history of fighting smuggling in the Russian Far East, a subject which is becoming a line of historical research. In many respects, this is due to activation of scientific activity in the Far Eastern departmental universities. Transfer of the Russian State Historical Archive of the Far East from Tomsk to Vladivostok has played its role in studying smuggling as a historical phenomenon in the Far East. Although they appreciate the work done for introducing into scientific use Soviet period documents from state and departmental archives, the authors can’t help noting fragmentary use of documents of the RGIA DV. This is what prevents reconstruction of a complete and objective picture of fighting smuggling in the periphery. The authors study new possibilities of forming a source base for studying the history of combating smuggling in the first decades of the 20th century. They note that opening all fonds the RGIA DV for researchers in 2013 created favorable conditions for comprehensive study of customs records, this peculiar source on the history of smuggling. A complex of these documents is preserved in the fonds of the customs agencies that operated in the Amur and Trans-Baikal area in the pre-revolutionary period: regional offices of customs administration, custom offices, custom posts. They had to shoulder the bulk of counter-smuggling work in the absence of border guard. Study of some archival cases demonstrates information potential of customs record keeping. The authors contend the need to improve the methods of identification and introduction into scientific use of sources on the history of fighting smuggling. Further prospects for development of this line of historical research are associated with use of the entire complex of customs agencies documents which is supposed to expand the subject-matter and to force researchers to address it not just as a crime, but also as a social and cultural phenomenon.

The article analyzes regional features of migration processes dynamics of in the Far East of Russia in the post-Soviet period (19922016). Indicators of migration intensity for migrant arrivals and departures, migration effectiveness and impact of migration flows on the whole Far Eastern region and its subjects were considered. It is shown that until 1997 in the Far Easts migration turnover the largest share of migrants moved within Russia (excluding Far Eastern federal subjects), however, since 2000 to the present time, the intraregional flow of migrants exceeds the total share of interregional and international migrants. As part of the assessment of internal labor migration, federal subjects of the Far East with maximum and minimum sizes of population engaged in labor activity outside the region of residence were identified. The study of the dynamics and territorial structure of international labor migration for the period 20102015 reflects the loss of the Far East leading positions in the number of attracted labor immigrants among the federal districts of the Russian Federation. It is established that in most federal subjects the number of migrants working based on patents prevails. Formation of various approaches at the federal and regional levels to the practice of attracting migrants to the labor market in the Far East is shown based on the analysis of the implemented measures of migration policy from 2013 to 2017.

The article discusses the migration situation in the Far East of Russia for 27 years the post-Soviet period. It is shown that during all these years there have been unforgiving interregional migration outflows of population from the Far East, poorly reimbursed by interstate migration growth and exacerbated by natural decline. Differences in the standard and conditions of living, in the development of infrastructure of the Far East regions and the old-inhabited European Russia do not add optimism on the issue of restraining migration outflows from the main geopolitical borderland and outstripping growth rate of its population. To estimate the intra-Russian migration capacity of the Far East population growth, the authors disclose and systematize the interregional migration connections of the Far East regions in 2006–2017. There are identified the Russian regions having the closest migratory connections with the Far East. In addition to those regions, in an exchange with which the Far East loses population, there are identified the areas having close migratory connections and roughly equivalent migration population exchange. They have the operational migration potential for increasing the flows of Russian population to the Far East. The article shows the structure of interregional migration losses of the Far East, from which 2/3 falls to 5 RF subjects — Moscow, Moscow oblast, Saint-Petersburg, Leningrad oblast and Krasnodar region. It provides the rationale for that without the economic and social policy reversal from West to East the task of re-colonization of the Far East cannot be solved. And interstate migration alone would not be up to the task. The conclusion contains suggestions for improving the situation.
