Introduction. The article examines the processes of transformation of the institutional environment of the regional timber industry enterprises in Karelia in the 1990s. The aim of the study was to identify the impact of this transformation at the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region with the predominant development of the branches of the timber industry. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the use of a predominantly institutional approach. Its application makes it possible to trace the changes that occurred in the structure of the institutional environment of regional timber industry enterprises with the beginning of market transformations in the 1990-ies, as well as the degree of effectiveness of the interaction of this enterprise with various economic entities. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the changes that took place in the first post-Soviet decade in the institutional environment of regional timber industry showed a number of negative aspects. First of all, the role of the state greatly reduced, which was unable to form effective “rules of the game” for the timber economy. The Forest Code adopted in 1997 infringed upon the rights of Karelia as a subject of the Federation, since only a part of the forests could be transferred to the ownership of the Republic. In the current difficult conditions, with the absence of the party and state control departments, and the difficult financial situation of the region, the role of regional authorities in solving the problems of forestry enterprises increased. In the context of spontaneous privatization and the collapse of the financial system, timber industry enterprises faced numerous problems of interaction with suppliers, customers, consumers and banks. This period was the time of the strengthening of the role of foreign companies in the work of timber enterprises. Unfortunately, having received a controlling stake in a number of domestic enterprises, foreign entrepreneurs were in no hurry to invest in their development. Conclusion. The transformations that took place in the institutional environment of the regional forestry enterprises in the 1990-ies negatively affected the level of the socio-economic development of Finno-Ugric region, based on the development of branches of the timber industry complex.

AbstractThe objective of this work is to analyze the impact of seasonality on the socio-economic development of rural areas of the southern part of Karelia. This study is based on the field data obtained via semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts from the local community. The results show that the influence of seasonality is rather indirect, being a constituent of other factors: economic, infrastructural, institutional, social, etc. Although seasonality is most often perceived as a negative phenomenon regarding socio-economic development, modern types of economic activity characterized by a peak of activity in different seasons of the year mitigate the effect of seasonality and even benefit from being seasonal. Based on the materials collected, a typology of rural settlements of the southern part of Karelia based on the nature of the effect of seasonality has been developed (with a predominantly positive and predominantly negative effect).

Introduction. The development of industry in the economic history of Russia often became one of the main factors in the activation of modernization processes. Moreover, during the periods of modernization breakthroughs, the most developed and vital sectors for the state developed most actively. These include the development of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, the coal and oil industries, etc. It is important to understand how the development of a particular industrial sector influenced the development of modernization processes in Russian regions. The study of regional specifics makes it possible to more thoroughly reveal the features of the implementation of Russian modernization processes, since only macro trends can be traced at the national level. The timber industry complex (TIC) is always an important element of the Soviet and then the Russian economy. Karelia during the second half of the twentieth century developed as a single-industry region with a predominant development of the timber industry sectors. As a result, the timber industry complex became an instrument for implementing modernization processes in the republic, which could not but affect the state and development of the region’s resource potential. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the analysis of mainly statistical materials reflecting the influence of the timber industry sectors on the development of regional modernization processes. Studying the regional features of the socio-economic development of Karelia as a single-industry region allows us to identify the features of modernization in certain regions of Russia, in which the development of the timber industry sectors has become the basis of economic development. In the research process, historical-systemic, historical-dynamic, historical-comparative, historical-genetic were used. Results. In the course of the analysis of statistical data on Karelia, the main trends in the production, socio-infrastructural and demographic development of the republic were identified under the influence of the development of the timber industry sectors. The main reasons that led to a gradual decrease in indicators of socio-economic development were identified. It was shown that the common cause of the decrease in the resource potential of Karelia was the preservation for decades of a one-sided orientation towards the development of mainly the timber industry sectors. Discussion and Conclusion. During the period under review, Karelia was formed as a single-industry region with a predominant development of the timber industry sectors, which directly affected the success of the modernization processes in the republic. Outlined since the mid-1960s a decline in the development of the timber industry sectors of the republic led to a decrease in timber production, a general decline in industrial production, poorly developed sectors for the production of consumer goods, and a lack of developed social infrastructure.

The article examines the investment potential of the territories of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the issues and investment distribution problems in them. Also, in the article predictions were made using programs of mathematical models of artificial neural networks in the analysis of distributions process problems,and the results were determined by comparing the results with trend and panel methods. Sustainable territorial socio-economic development is determined by general laws of country socio-economic development, the share of export products in the total output of the region, depending on the composition of the gross regional product, in key sectors of the economy is determined by features such as competitive product, scientific potential, population income. Therefore, the problems that arise in ensuring the socio-economic development of the region in modern conditions will have their own regional characteristics.Addressing the territorial socio-economic development problems require strengthening the regulatory role of the state in determining regional economic policy, governance, the development of effective systems, tools and methods of state regulation. Sustainable territorial socio-economic development also depends on the self-sufficiency level of resources and effective budget finance, credit, tax and price policies.

Small and private entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly important in the world economy. International experience shows that the impact of small and private entrepreneurship on economic growth through the creation of new jobs is very important. The role of these enterprises is growing, especially as economic development progresses towards services and information technology. Small and private enterprises are becoming economic entities where new techniques and technologies are rapidly introduced, advanced management methods are rapidly applied and effective in the short term. Indeed, the role of employment in economic growth through the development of small and private entrepreneurship is immeasurable.In particular, entrepreneurship plays an important role not only in the socio-economic life of the republic, but also in the regions. Entrepreneurship is a source of endless opportunities for the development of market relations, ensuring the stability of the economy, attracting investment from domestic and foreign sources, as well as meeting the growing employment needs of the population. Indeed, the origin of small and private enterprises is a reflection of a complex set of needs of different composition, primarily due to the need to increase the number of enterprises that can influence and withstand market competition in the country's economy; second, it is characterized by the fact that small and private businesses are the cheapest, preferred, and preferred method of recruiting the population. The article summarizes the laws of emergence and formation of entrepreneurship. In particular, it was found that the emergence of criteria based on the number of employees as well as production indicators has made small and private entrepreneurship an important phenomenon of economic development. Accordingly, it is proposed to improve the characteristics of small and private entrepreneurship using both criteria, and a new, improved definition of the concept of "entrepreneurship" and "entrepreneur" applied to employment. The article consists of an introduction, goals and objectives, methods, results and comments, and a conclusion.

The structure of the national model of social and economic development is considered in the composition of types and subtypes of the economic system, taking into account the types of macroeconomic policy and the sector of the national economy, the nature of institutional transformations and institutional changes in the national economy is described, types of modern transformations or choice of alternative development options are identified. The difference between institutional changes and institutional transformations is revealed, namely institutional transformations and institutional changes are associated with the replacement of institutions, but it is the result of the former that the institutions that predetermine the functioning of the main components (predetermining attributes) of the economic system are replaced. It has been established that as a result of institutional transformations, changes take place in the system-forming institutions that predetermine the nature and characteristics of social and economic development. The transformations that took place or are potentially possible are determined in the context of the problem of managing the socio-economic development of the Republic of Crimea. It is determined that in the case of institutional transformations, there is necessarily a specific bifurcation point, characterized by the occurrence of a certain event or group of events, and is the starting platform for a specific institutional transformation. A scheme of various variants (scenarios) of the passage of the bifurcation point in the process of development of the national economy under the influence of external and internal factors is constructed, and changes in the states of development of the national economy during the passage of the bifurcation point are determined. The internal critical instability of the current state of development of the national economy has been studied. It is determined that institutional changes without the flow of institutional transformations represent a combination of the replacement of institutions in certain areas or spheres of socio-economic development. At the same time, the bifurcation point is absolutely not an obligatory condition, as a result of which institutional changes can take place constantly, thus constantly modernizing the institutional environment, taking into account new agreements, decision-making features and many other factors.

Today in Russia there is a search for a new model of socio-economic development that could replace the raw material economy. The search problem is complicated by the fact that raw materials continue to be considered as the main resource in trade with other countries. Effective use of all types of resources that our country possesses could become an alternative in this situation. Studying the historical experience of using the resource model of socio-economic development may become one of the grounds for developing an optimal model for further socio-economic development of many Russian regions. This is especially true for regions that have historically developed and developed as mono-industry. The basis of the socio-economic development of Karelia, especially in the twentieth century, was the development of the timber industry sectors. This feature was supplemented by the fact that in the period from 1940 to 1956. Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region had the status of a union republic. The combination of these two factors became the basis of the accelerated socio-economic development of the republic in the first post-war years. The basis of the socio-economic development of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region, especially in the 20th century, was the development of the timber industry sectors. As part of the interaction between the Center and the region, resources were exchanged. Receiving Karelian wood, the state provided the republic with financial and human resources, contributed to the formation and development of production and social infrastructure. As the main resource of Karelia, the forest in which the state was originally interested, was gradually exhausted, the resource potential of the region gradually decreased in various ways compared to other regions of the Northwest of Russia.
