Abstract The article discusses the development of a green economy in the regions of the Far North as the basis for the supporting frame of these territories. At present, interest in the development of a green economy is growing sharply, as evidenced by the reorientation of most of the world’s largest economies towards greening. We examined not only the theoretical aspects of restraining the development of individual elements of the green economy, but also the territory as a whole. It is concluded that for the regions of the Far North, it is necessary to focus on the development, first of all, of an integrated transport, energy and social infrastructure. This article provides a brief overview of the main elements of a green economy that represent the most potential for the northern territories and can serve as a basis for their development.

The starting point for highlighting the Northern text of the literature of Yakutia from the point of view of geographical toponymic characteristics is the concept of “Far North (Arctic)”. The article is devoted to the analysis of this system-forming concept in the literature of the Indigenous peoples of the North of Yakutia, which includes landscape, natural images, signs, symbols of this territory in their generalized integrity (tundra, taiga, sea, rivers, mountains, nomadic paths, winter, snow, cold, nomad, deer, bear and others). The description of the northern territories and images in an artistic interpretation is filled with a distinctive symbolic meaning associated with local mythology, sacred geography. The results of the study show that the concept of “Far North” is not a thematic phenomenon, not a geographical location, but a special attitude. This is a whole picture of the world, preserving national identity in itself, both in form and in content, in value guidelines.

In recent decades, interest in the study of the content of fat-soluble antioxidant vitamins among residents of the northern territories of Russia has not weakened, which is associated with the transformation of the diet in a harsh climate, a negative ecological situation resulting from the technogenic pollution of the biosphere with various toxicants, and urbanization of the environment. In recent decades, interest in the study of fat-soluble antioxidant vitamins among residents of the northern territories of Russia has not weakened, which is due to the transformation of the diet in a harsh climate, a negative environmental situation that arose as a result of technogenic pollution of the biosphere with various toxicants. Аim. Conduct a comparative analysis of the content vitamins A, D, E in indigenous and alien populations, living on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Material and methods. The study involved 185 males of working age (31.3 ± 12.2 years), permanently residing in the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The study participants were divided into 2 groups: the control group (97 representatives of the newcomer population) and the main group (88 people from the ethnic population: Nenets, Khanty). In all examined individuals, vitamins A and E were determined in the blood by the fluorometric method, and the concentration of hydroxyvitamin D – 25 (OH) D3 was determined using the chemiluminescent method. Results. In the course of a comparative analysis of the content of the studied vitamins in the blood, it was found that the average values of vitamin A in the newcomer population were in the range of optimal values, while the provision with vitamins D and E was 1.4 and 1.1 times lower than the minimum. permissible physiological values, respectively. The opposite picture was observed in the aboriginal population, who had a pronounced deficiency of only vitamin A. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the presence of intergroup features in the content of fat-soluble vitamins in the body of the population of the Far North, which requires a corresponding correction of the diet and the development of a set of preventive measures aimed at improving the ecology of the environment.

RESUME : Il s’agit d’interroger les figurations des rapports des Amérindiens au continent américain dans des textes littéraires qui ont recours à la mémoire pour mettre en scène des « territoires lointains » et leurs populations autochtones: les territoires nordiques du Canada (Chants polaires de Jean Morisset, 2002) ; la forêt amazonienne (Yuxin-Alma de Ana Miranda, 2009) ; la Terre de Feu (Luna roja de Leopoldo Brizuela, 2002). De l’extrême-Nord à l’extrême-Sud du continent américain, en passant par la forêt amazonienne, c’est la construction imaginaire de la conception de « confins », renvoyant à la dichotomie entre civilisation et terres sauvages, qu’il nous intéresse d’examiner tout en soulignant les modalités spécifiques d’appropriation des éléments d’une mythologie de l’espace américain mises en place par les différents textes littéraires.  MOTS CLES : mémoire, Amérindiens, confins, espace américain ABSTRACT: The representations of American Indians relationship to the American continent are investigated in literary texts that use memory to stage the "distant lands" and their indigenous peoples: the northern territories of Canada (Chants Polaires by Jean Morisset, 2002); the Amazonian forest (Yuxin-Alma by Ana Miranda, 2009); Tierra del Fuego (Luna roja by Leopoldo Brizuela, 2002). From the far north to the far south of the American continent through the Amazon forest, we are interested in the imaginary construction of the conception of "confines", referring to the dichotomy between civilization and wilderness, while emphasizing the specific modalities of appropriation of elements of a mythology of the American space implemented by the various literary texts. KEYWORDS: memory, Amerindians, confines, American space

Mezenskaya horse (Mezenka) is Russia’s aboriginal breed. It is a domestic selection in the northern territories of Arkhangelsk region. The breed is perfectly adapted to the conditions of the Far North, and has a number of valuable economic and biological qualities. At present, it has a limited gene pool and is bred only in the Mezensky district, where one gene pool-breeding farm is operating and so is a number of basic farms, where selection and breeding activities take place with the breed. Due to a small population of Mezen horses, the challenge of preserving its intra-breed diversity is very urgent. To determine the degree of genetic variability in the Mezen population, the alleles-fond was monitored. A comparative analysis of the genetic structure of the breed was done on DNA microsatellites at time-intervals of 10 years (2000, 2010 and 2020). Crista samples of 198 horses were studied in specialized laboratories. It was established that the breed has wide genetic diversity in 17 loci of nuclear DNA. The population’s alleles-fond includes from 128, 139, and 133 alleles respectively (with an average value of 7.53, 8.18, and 7.82 alleles per locus). The most common alleles are AHT4O, AHT5N, ASB2K, ASB23S, CA425N, HMS1J, HMS1M, HMS2H, HMS3M, HMS7L, HTG4M, HTG6O, HTG7K, HTG7O and LEX3M. Mezen horses revealed 6 rare, lowfrequency (0.004–0.056) alleles not found in the horse populations of domestic selection. The average value of the polymorphic level (Ae) in the breed over the years is 4.16, 4.21 and 4.06, respectively. The highest polymorphism is found in locus ASB17 (6.49–6.90–6.76); the lowest, in locus HTG6 (1.71–1.66–1.67) and HMS7 (1.77–1.95–1.77). A slight deficit of heterozygous genotypes (Fis = 0.003) was observed in Mezen horses in 2010. In 2000 and 2020, the observed heterozygosity (Ho) exceeds the expected value (He), which indicates the absence of intra-population inbreeding (Fis = –0.014 and –0.011, respectively). The results obtained testify to the effectiveness of breeding activities carried out to preserve, improve and maintain genetic diversity in the population.

Main Characteristic Feature

The article is devoted to the characteristics of the modern migration processes in the Chukotka autonomous region. The source base of this study is statistical materials, published results of the expert and mass surveys among the population conducted in 2018, 2019, 2020 in the cities and villages of the region. The paper presents comparative analysis of the migration situation in the ChAR in different years, identifies the features of the migration processes occurring in the Far North-East of Russia, characterizes the migration attitudes and attitudes towards the migrants of different groups of the region's population.The study identifies the reasons for rapid outflow of the residents of the ChAR in the early 1990th, changes in the structure of the population, including the ethnic one, and describes the current migration situation. High rates of internal migration are the main characteristic feature of the northern territories. During the times of economic growth, there is an increase in migration, in the times of crisis - an intensive decline in the population. Chukotka is characterized by such factors restraining migration as the unfavorable climate, high cost of the air tickets, high cost of the renting housing, and especially payroll. Chukotka is a territory of regulated entry for the foreign citizens, which largely constrains the flow of foreign labor migrants. The results of the polls among the residents of the region show that a significant part of the respondents is generally neutral towards Russian and foreign labor migrants; in general, the population understands the importance of the influx of qualified personnel for the development of the region. The main problem of the demographic development of the PrJSC is the migration outflow, which continues against the background of natural population growth. Currently, the region is experiencing negative dynamics of migration processes.

This article addresses the problem of studying ethnic identity in Saami adolescents, representatives of indigenous peoples of the Russian Far North. The aim of the research is to study ethnic identity in adolescent Saami boys and girls. The article presents the results of an empirical research conducted using the “Types of ethnic identity” technique developed by G.U. Soldatova and S.V. Ryzhova. 39 Saami adolescents aged 12-13 years (18 boys and 21 girls) and 40 Saami adolescents aged 14-15 years (23 boys and 17 girls) participated in our empirical research as respondents. All the respondents live in the village of Lovozero in the Murmansk region. To identify specific features of ethnic identity development among Saami adolescents, we included ethnic Russian adolescent respondents: 59 people aged 12-13 years (31 boys and 28 girls), and 62 people aged 14-15 years (32 boys and 30 girls). Empirical data was collected in the period from April to May 2018. The analysis of the empirical research results allowed us to identify the dynamics in the development of ethno-nihilism, ethnic indifference, positive ethnic identity, ethno-egoism, ethno-isolationism and ethno-fanaticism in adolescent Saami boys and girls (12 to 15 years). The research revealed specific features of ethnic identity in Saami adolescents in comparison with their ethnic Russian agemates. The results of this research can be used to preserve and develop ethnic identity among indigenous adolescents in the Arctic territories of the European North of Russia. In future, this will allow to develop individual routes of training and education for indigenous adolescents in the Far North, to improve the system of psychological counselling and support. This will provide prospects for preservation of indigenous culture, traditions and ethnic identity, which will in its turn contribute to the development of the Northern territories, implementation of national interests, and achievement of the state strategic goals in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
