This study aims to measure the effectiveness of Russia’s Turn to the East Policy, addressed by the federal government in 2012, on the economic development of the underdeveloped Far Eastern regions, in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows data. To do so, this paper analyzed the results of the representative policy mechanisms - designed to promote the Far Eastern investments - of the Turn to the East Policy, comprised of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEC), Advanced Special Economic Zones (ASEZs), and Vladivostok Free Ports (VFPs), based on the secondary data from the governmental organizations. From the study, in spite of the previous contentions on those policy mechanisms amongst policymakers, we elucidate the incremental growing FDI - majorly contributed by the East Asian countries: China, Japan, and South Korea - propensity in the Far East. The three Eastern Asian countries promote investments in the Russian Far East for different eco-political purposes. And it further analyzed that for Russia, despite the remarkable magnitude of Chinese and Japanese FDI compared to South Korea, South Korea is still the most attractive partner, in terms of lack of threats: The Chinese expansionism, and the Kuril Island dispute with Japan.

The Russian Far East

In recent years (since late 2013) the federal government has intensified the policy of foreign investors attracting to the Russian Far East, proclaiming the need to integrate this macro-region in the Asia Pacific region and creating development institutions of the Far East, as well as preferential conditions for investors – the territories of priority socio-economic development, free port of Vladivostok. Investors are given massive tax preferences, regime of free customs zone, a number of other preferences. However, from the point of view of foreign investors many instruments of state investment policy – rather its lack, than advantage. Investment policy of regional authorities in the Far East is currently ranked low, in the National ranking of investment climate in subjects of the Russian Federation Far East regions, with the exception of Khabarovsk Krai, located in the second half. By the volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) stock Sakhalin oblast stands out among the Russian Far East regions, occupying on this indicator the second place among all subjects of the Russian Federation due to the action of agreements on production section, which appeared in 1990- ies. The shares of other Far Eastern regions in the FDI stock in Russia is still small. The state’s efforts in recent years to attract FDI to the Far East led to some increase in the volume of FDI stock in the macro-region, but not in all subjects of the Russian Fed eration. Preferential regimes are increasingly attracted domestic rather than foreign investors. Among the projects with participation of foreign capital projects focused on the domestic market of the Far East (agriculture, services) and the use of macro-region natural resources dominate. Projects on creation of manufacturing industries which products can be delivered beyond the Far East, including for export, yet few. The prospects for improvement, given the existing experience of the gradual development of new regions by foreign investors, but it requires improvement of the state investment policy both at federal and regional levels.

This paper is dedicated to measuring the Foreign direct investment (FDI) attractiveness of the Russian Far East. In 2012, the Russian Federationofficially addressed the Turn to the East Policy through «Measures to Implement the Russian Federation Foreign Policy” to resolve the chronically underdeveloped economy of the Far Eastern district. The Far Eastern development entails an enormous budget from abroad considering the enormous magnitude of investments projects. However, despite the continuous increasing investment propensity in the Russian Far East, the result is not yet impressive. Thereby, the thorough analysis of the FDI attractiveness of the Far Eastshould more to be conducted. To do that, in this study, we analyzed the FDI attractiveness of the Far East based on the Porter’s Diamond model, comprised of the four endogenous factors – Production Factor, Demand Factor, Related and Supporting Industries, and Firm Strategy Structure and Rivalry-, and the two exogenous factors-chance, and government. Based on the analysis, we diagnosed that weak factor and demand conditions and ambiguous political will majorly hinder from accelerating the Turn to the East Policy. Thereby, we concluded that to achieve momentum of the policy by generating high efficiency of the policy mechanisms to induce FDI, the strong political will should be accompanied with investmentfavorable factor and demand conditions.

This paper investigates the Korean foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Russian Far East, a significant area to develop South Korea’s new northern policy and Russia’s pivot to the East policy. Unlike the insignificant influence of the Korean FDI on Russia’s economy as a whole, South Korea is one of the key economic partners in the Russian Far East. For the period 2015–2019, South Korea is the 4th largest investor in the Russian Far East. In 2019, 69.7% of the Korean investments in the Russian Far East concentrated on Primorsky Krai, which contradicts the general trend that the world investments in the Russian Far East are highly skewed in Sakhalin Oblast to participate in the gas and oil projects. The Korean FDI in the Russian Far East aims market seeking rather than resource seeking. Besides, due to the high entry barrier of “nine bridges”, there are limited numbers of companies in nine bridges-industries.

With the global trend of foreign direct investment, Chinese agricultural enterprises have also increased the pace of for-eign direct investment. At present, Chinese agricultural enterprises have invested in development in more than 30 countries, including Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. Ocean fisheries development is underway in the high seas of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. There are also planting and forestry bases in the Russian Far East and Central Asian countries. The benefits of Chinese agricultural enterprises' overseas investment are obvious. It is not only conducive to Chinese enter-prises to use foreign resources, funds and technology, but also to avoid various barriers and increase the international market share. However, while encouraging China's agricultural enterprises to go global, we should also be clearly aware that the overseas direct investment of China's agricultural enterprises is still in the primary stage. The level of agricultural enterprises is still relatively low, and overseas direct investment faces a variety of risks. Analysis and studying these risks will help Chinese agricultural enterprises to effectively prevent and control them in foreign direct investment. By taking into account the integrity and dynamics of the overseas direct investment environment, the risk evaluation index system of foreign investment projects of Chinese agricultural enterprises is constructed. Representative items were selected for risk evaluation using hierarchical analysis and entropy weight coefficient method. The results show that there are prominent risk factors such as international agricultural market risk, political and legal risks of host countries, domestic institutional barriers and enterprise own technical restrictions. In order to prevent and reduce investment risks, the government should increase policy support and set up special agricultural overseas investment service institutions. Enterprises should establish an effective risk evaluation mechanism to promote the research and development and promotion of agricultural technology.Keywords: agribusiness, direct investment, risk assessment, comprehensive environment. З глобальною тенденцією прямих іноземних інвестицій, китайські сільськогосподарські підприємства також збільшили темпи прямих іноземних інвестицій. В даний час китайські сільськогосподарські підприємства інвестували у розвиток більш ніж 30 країн, включаючи Південно­Східну Азію, Африку та Латинську Америку. Розвиток океанічного рибальства ведеться у відкритому морі Тихого, Атлантичного та Індійського океанів. На російському Далекому Сході та країнах Центральної Азії також є бази з рослинництва і лісівництва. Переваги зарубіжних інвестицій китайських сільськогосподар-ських підприємств є очевидними. Це не тільки сприяє використанню китайськими підприємствами іноземних ресурсів, засобів та технологій, а й дозволяє уникнути різних бар'єрів та збільшити частку на міжнародному ринку. Однак, заохочуючи китайські сільськогосподарські підприємства до виходу на міжнародний ринок, потрібно чітко усвідомлювати, що прямі закордонні інвестиції китайських сільськогосподарських підприємств усе ще перебувають на початковій стадії. Рівень сільськогосподарських підприємств ще відносно низький, і прямі закордонні інвестиції стикаються з різними ризиками. Аналіз та вивчення цих ризиків допоможе китайським сільськогосподарським підприємствам ефективно запобігати та контролювати їх при здійсненні прямих зарубіжних інвестицій. Зважаючи на цілісність та динаміку середовища прямих зарубіжних інвестицій, побудовано систему показників оцінки ризику зарубіжних інвестиційних проектів китайських сіль-ськогосподарських підприємств. Для оцінки ризиків було відібрано репрезентативні пункти за допомогою ієрархічного аналізу та методу вагового коефіцієнта ентропії. Результати показують, що існують значні фактори ризику, такі як ризик міжнародного сільськогосподарського ринку, політичні та правові ризики приймаючих країн, внутрішні інституційні бар'єри та власні технічні обмеження підприємств. Для запобігання та зниження інвестиційних ризиків уряд має посилити політичну підтримку та створити спеціальні установи з обслуговування сільськогосподарських інвестицій за кордоном. Підприємства мають створити ефективний механізм оцінки ризиків для сприяння дослідженням, розробкам та просуванню сільськогосподарських технологій.Ключові слова: агробізнес, прямі інвестиції, оцінка ризиків, комплексне середовище

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

The paper summarizes information on chromosome numbers (CNs) of the Grass species (Poaceae) in the flora of Russian Federation, obtained on the original material, most part - from the Russian Far East (RFE). In some species the CNs are known in Russia or in the world only from RFE, in some – from one locality or few, or from one subregion of RFE. The grass species in RFE often occur in mountain regions and near seacoasts; some species are endemics, some were studied near the limits of their geographical distribution areas. The diversity of CNs, the special features of the CNs distribution in some grass groups are discussed. The alien species are abundant in RFE, and their CNs are also involved in the study. For karyologically polymorphous species further studies are needed.
