The article describes the geographical direction in sociology and topicality of modern geosocial investigations. It analyses the concepts «geopolitics» and «geosociology», substantiates the need of identifying geosocial types in modern society. It reveals that the majority of the states in the world are built on the basis of a single geosocial type, while the Russian Federation includes in its borders and its structure several geosocial types, such as: the settled, the settled-forest, the mountainous, the nomadic, the marine, as well as mixed types. It specifies the settled-forest geosocial type to be traditionally dominating in the majority of the Russian regions. It proves that the administrative division of the Russian Federation subjects is often a little artificial, as the same geosocial type, including the ethnos, lives on the territory of different regions and even Federal Districts. The typology obtained will allow further to investigate regularities of ethnos development depending on the geographical environment.

Economic Formation

Economy of knowledge is an economic formation, where today’s generation of young people will work. It is quite good that many scientists try to forecast what it will be like. The article studies different approaches to assessment of regional knowledge index. The authors put forward a new methodology of its estimation on the basis of key matrix determinant and its logarithming. To assess the knowledge index 16 indicators divided into 4 groups are used and they gave an opportunity to build a four-dimensional matrix. According to the author, this approach is more objective and can eliminate some inaccuracy of methods designed by other authors. On the basis of this methodology the knowledge index was estimated, which shows conditions for shaping economy of knowledge in Russian regions. The rating of federal districts and regions-leaders was built and regions-outsiders in respect of economy of knowledge shaping were identified. Indicators that exert the most serious effect (positive and negative) on the knowledge index of regions were found. More detailed results for the whole period of analysis – 2000–2015 – for all regions of the Russian Federation can be found in the Situational Center of the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics.

Russia is the largest country in the world, a civilization state, with its unique geopolitical code. To change this course, the identity of our country, to force it to wander in the wake of the geopolitical and foreign policy aspirations of other centers of power, a number of geopolitical projects based on “hard power”, “soft power” as well as “soft power” are being implemented in the Russian Federation and beyond its external borders. At the same time, due to the large-scale territory of Russia, the presence of its internal regions that are different in their characteristics, various projects are deployed by external forces in various directions. This article discusses the geopolitical projects of the main external forces projecting their influence on the South of Russia - the territories of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Southern and North Caucasian federal districts. There are eight republics there: Adygea, Daghestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Crimea, North Ossetia-Alania and Chechnya, two territories - Krasnodar and Stavropol and three regions - Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov; in total 14 subjects of Russia.

The review provides the data on the epidemic condition of tularemia foci in countries neighboring Russia and ongoing preventive measures in these territories. The highest tularemia incidence in the stated countries and in the world as a whole is observed in Finland. In 2019, 42 cases of human infection with tularemia pathogen were recorded in the territory of the Russian Federation, 85 % of which occur in three Federal Districts: North-Western, Central, and Siberian. Epizootic manifestations of infection of varying degrees of intensity were detected in 51 entities of the Federation. Against this background, sporadic cases of tularemia are registered in 17 regions of the country. The most severe epidemic complications continue in Karelia – 9 patients. Seventeen Francisella tularensis cultures were isolated from environmental objects in the Tver, Yaroslavl, Vologda Regions, in the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic. The paper gives an opinion on the regions in which epidemic complications of tularemia are most likely to occur in 2020.

Epidemiological Situation

Analysis of the incidence of human brucellosis in the world in 2011–2020 is presented in the paper. An assessment of the epizootiological-epidemiological situation on brucellosis in the Russian Federation in 2020 is performed. It is outlined that the epidemiological situation on brucellosis in Russia over the past decade was characterized as unfavorable with downward trend in the incidence rate against the background of persistent epizootiological insecurity among cattle and small ruminants. Between 2011 and 2020, 3507 first identified human cases of brucellosis were registered. The long-term average number of cases is 350 per year, including 28 cases among children under 17 years old. The average long-term intensive morbidity rate per 100 000 people was 0.24, among children under 17 – 0.1. In 2020, 119 human cases of brucellosis were detected in Russia (0.08), which indicates that the trend towards an improvement in the epidemiological situation on brucellosis continues. The largest number of brucellosis cases among people was registered in the North-Caucasian (77.1 % of the total incidence across Russia) and the Southern Federal District (13.5 %). In the period of 2010–2020 (9 months), 4610 areas potentially hazardous as regards bovine brucellosis and 422 – as regards brucellosis in sheep and goats were registered in the Russian Federation. Analysis of the development of brucellosis situation in Russia indicates that in the medium term, with the current trend maintained, there is a real risk of widespread brucellosis distribution among farm animals in the constituent entities of the Central, Volga, Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts, as well as the persistence of epizootiological insecurity in the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts. Taking into account the current epizootiological-epidemiological situation and the long-term dynamics of the development in the Russian Federation, one can predict the incidence of brucellosis in people at a level below the longterm average values – 0.13–0.18 per 100000 of the population in 2021.

Epidemiological Situation

Objective of the review is to characterize the nature of epidemiological situation on HFRS around the world and to conduct a comparative analysis of intensity and dynamics of the epidemiological process in the Russian Federation by Federal Districts, as well as make forecast for 2020. The analysis of the epidemiological situation is based on the materials of the official websites of healthcare organizations in the USA and Europe, WHO, the data from operational monitoring carried out by the reference center for HFRS monitoring “Kazan Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology”, materials provided by the Rospotrebnadzor Institutions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The analysis included all administrative territories of the Russian Federation. Statistical processing was carried out by standard methods of variation statistics applying Excel software. The epidemiological situation on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome around the world and in Russia remains tense. In the Russian Federation, epidemically active foci are located in the European part of the country, in Western Siberia and in the Far East. Infections over the period of 2010–2019 were registered in 8 federal districts of the Russian Federation, in 58 constituent entities. However, the incidence distribution across the territory of the country was differential. In 97 % of the cases, the incidence was recorded in the European part of Russia. In the Volga Federal District, HFRS incidence amounted to 82.16 % of the total incidence recorded on the whole in Russia. High incidence rates are also recorded in the Central Federal District (CFD). Over the past 10 years (2010–2019), there has been an increase in the incidence of HFRS in the Central and North-West Federal Districts, and a decrease in the incidence in the Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Varying degree of anthropogenic impact on the natural HFRS foci and climate change manifested in increased ambient air temperatures are of great importance for the spread of HFRS over the past decade. At the end of the review the forecast of the development of the epidemiological situation on HFRS in the Russian Federation for 2020 is presented.

Vegetables and potatoes are the most valuable food and sources of vitamins, coarse fibers, biologically active substances and amino acids for a human being. The consumption of vegetables has a beneficial effect on the human health. The growing population in the world causes the increase in the production of vegetable crops and potatoes. Over the recent decade the world production of vegetables and potatoes has been constantly increasing. The production grows mainly due to the leading countries: China, India, the USA, and Turkey. The Russian Federation is the eighth in the world by the production, and is one of the main importers of these products in the world. In the present article, the production and consumption of potatoes and vegetables in the Russian Federation have been ana-lyzed. The statistical data on federal districts have been analyzed for the following indicators: volumes of production and consumption, and import by federal districts. Besides, the cultivated areas, the yield and production by categories of farms of the Russian Federation have been considered. The factors that have impact on the development of the vege-tables and potatoes production have been determined. The areas for solving the problems associated with the market of vegetables and potatoes in the regions have been suggested. The indicators of vegetables and potatoes production and consumption (for food purposes) in the Russian Federation have been calculated.
