The article attempts to outline new approaches to the study of the timber industry complex as one of the main instruments of interaction between the State and Karelia, as the Finno-Ugric region, during the second half of the 20th century. The aim of the study is to find the theories and concepts that could form the basis for the systematic analysis of the interaction. The urgency of the study is related to the fact that for many forest-producing regions of Russia, including Karelia, the result of the regional state social and economic policy during the studied period turned out to be largely negative. The research methodology is based on the use of modernization theory and the concept “center – periphery”. The article is based on the research of international and Russian scholars which interpret these concepts. The comparison of theoretical material with the historical experience of development of Karelia in the second half of the 20th century allows to draw a conclusion about the possibility of successful combination of the noted research approaches. Various interpretations of the theory of modernization made it possible draw a conclusion about the peripheral nature of the modernization processes in this region in relation to socio-economic development of Karelia. Using the concept “center – periphery”, according to which the unevenness of economic growth and the process of spatial polarization inevitably generate disparities between the so-called center and periphery, has shown its potential in the study of the peculiarities of interaction between the state and the Finno-Ugric region. Comparison of these two concepts makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the high degree of their mutual complementarity and the possibility in the long term to propose the realization of a center-peripheral model of regional modernization in the social and economic development of Karelia.

Russia today is a dynamically developing state that, despite external pressure, continues to strengthen its positions in the world arena, timely preventing external and internal threats to economic security. Social stability is a fundamental prerequisite for the dynamic development of the state. In this regard, the state's task is to prevent destructive processes in social and economic development, using a set of measures and management procedures. The state of the social sphere, trends and forecasts of its formation have always been in the focus of the interests of the leadership of our country, government organizations and the scientific community. This is because the social sphere is of primary importance for the development of society in particular and the state as a whole. In recent years, large-scale changes have begun to take place in the Russian Federation, including the development of new public legislation, the implementation of targeted projects, the formation of a new concept of public protection of the population, and many actions have been taken to provide a decent level of well-being and increase the quality of life of the Russian people. Despite the fact that the Russian government has made great efforts to reduce the scale of unemployment and poverty, improving the quality of life, the social problem remains quite acute. The main factor was the sudden change in the international situation in the last few years, the introduction of financial and restrictive sanctions, the implementation of hostile political activities by certain foreign states against Russia, and as a result, the complication of the social and financial situation within our state. However, successful social and financial development remains the highest value for the Russian state in the near future. The purpose of this activity is to identify the relevance and complexity of problems of economic security and assess indicators that determine threats to security in the public sphere. Observation and diagnosis of the degree of threats to the national interests of the state on the basis of indicators of socio-economic development indicators in the public domain is a priority task in the existing realities of our life. Modeling the threats to economic security, ie, obtaining specific values of economic security indicators depending on their belonging to a particular risk class (level), it is possible to develop an appropriate plan of measures to improve economic security in the social sphere on the basis of the proposed classification. Monitoring and diagnosing the level of threats to the national interests of the country on the basis of indicators of social and economic development in the social sphere is a paramount task in the existing realities of our life. At the same time, the results obtained serve as a good basis for developing development strategies for the future with the preservation of social stability. The aim of the study is to formulate methodological provisions for the development of the theory of economic security based on the definition of threats to the economic security of the social sphere, using the proposed model of the relationship between the key factors that affect the level of security in this area. The research uses a set of general scientific approaches (abstract-logical, deductive, complex and systemic). The realization of the research process was carried out with the help of the dialectical method of cognition, which predetermines the study of economic phenomena in their interconnection and development. To solve individual problems, economic-statistical methods, comparison methods, absolute, relative and average values, graphical and tabular data representation, correlation-regression analysis, Ward clustering were used.

The crisis in the domestic economy has significantly worsened the economic situation in the regions. High dependence on federal budget revenues makes it necessary to search for additional sources of funding, that is, to attract investment. The paper analyzes the importance of investment potential in the system of economic stability of the region, presents the system of indicators that reflects the key factors of the social and economic development of the region which influence the interest of the business community in the implementation of investment projects in the territorial entity of the Russian Federation. The threshold values of the indicators are specified, which make it possible to assess the influence of each indicator on the level of investment potential and group them to distinguish the areas of social and economic development of the region that require special attention. The author illustrated the diagnostics of investment potential in the system of economic stability of the region through the example of the Mari El Republic. The study revealed that the region does not meet the necessary threshold values for most indicators, which negatively affects its investment potential and might cause threats to economic stability. The diagnostic results indicate some problems in the economy of the region, such as an extremely low level of innovations in production, a high degree of fixed assets depreciation, a large proportion of unprofitable enterprises, and negative trends in demography which lead to a shortage of labor resources.

Criminality is one of the most serious, socially significant problems. Such a negative phenomenon can hinder the social and economic development of the state, hinder the development of state’s favorable image in the world and threaten its national security. In order to avoid such consequences, it is urgent to identify and research the determinants that affect the spread of crime countrywide. The paper is devoted to the determination of the relationship of the crime rate in Russia with the set of social and economic indicators. The relevance of the research is connected with the increased variability of criminality and its constituent elements. The analysis is based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service in 72 Russian regions for the period from 2015 to 2018. With the help of the correlation and regression analysis, it has been found that up to 42% of the variation in the indicator, i.e. the number of registered crimes per 100,000 people of the population, is explained by the factors that characterize the social and economic development and the well-being of society: the state of labor market, housing provision and level of urbanization. The obtained results are faithful to the original data, since the regressor coefficients are statistically significant, and the relationships do not contradict the economic logic. The data processing was made by means of the Gretl software package. It is concluded that a significant impact on the crime rate in Russia over the past 4 years had such factors as unemployment rate, total area of residential premises per inhabitant in average, and share of the urban population in the total population of the region.

The identity of young people, and the state of a school’s fulfilment of its tasks, as presented in the article, are based on the results of the author’s own field explorations carried out in the school year 2003/2004 and repeated in the same territory of the Silesian Voivodeship in the zone of intensive social and economic development in 2016/2017. The results of the research conducted have shown that schools brought young people with different personal and social resources, and living in different historical and socio-cultural contexts, to a similar value of identity capital. The study, conducted in two stages with an interval of 13 years, has revealed the greatest shifts in the following areas: extension of the range of interactions (change 13.2%); ambivalence (change 8.1%); revitalization (change 7.7%); and ethos (change 6.8%). The least change occurred in the provision of offers of identification (1.7% change). A slight decline was noted in the extension of the developmental moratorium (1.5% change). The identified, described and empirically verified tasks of a school form a specific map of educational activities, which can be successfully used as a matrix to describe and interpret a school’s participation in the shaping of young people’s identities.

This article explores regional Buddhist monasteries in Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE) China, including their arrangement, functions, and sources for their study. Specifically, as a case study, it considers the reconstruction of the Kaiyuan monastery 開元寺 in Sizhou 泗州 (present-day Jiangsu Province) with reference to the works of three prominent state officials and scholars: Bai Juyi 白居易 (772–846), Li Ao 李翱 (772–841), and Han Yu 韓愈 (768–824). The writings of these literati allow us to trace the various phases of the monastery’s reconstruction, fundraising activities, and the network of individuals who participated in the project. We learn that the rebuilt multi-compound complex not only provided living areas for masses of pilgrims, traders, and workers but also functioned as a barrier that protected the populations of Sizhou and neighboring prefectures from flooding. Moreover, when viewed from a broader perspective, the renovation of the Kaiyuan monastery demonstrates that Buddhist construction projects played a pivotal role in the social and economic development of Tang China’s major metropolises as well as its regions.
