Because of its energy reserves and long history of economic links with North Korea, the Russian Far East could provide useful incentives needed to help convince Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program. For this reason, the United States should begin crafting a regionally based strategy that includes Russia.

After the start of Korean migration to Russia in 1864, the Russian authorities began to make attempts to formalize the legal status of the arrived migrants in order to protect them from persecution by the Korean government and its patron China. Areas of compact residence of Korean immigrants were separated into a separate administrative-territorial unit – Suifun District, where the post of “head of Koreans” was established. Separate elements of local self-government were introduced in the Korean settlements. After the establishment of official diplomatic relations with Korea in 1884, the problem of the legal status of Korean migrants in Russia became one of the important topics on the agenda of Russian-Korean negotiations. Due to its decision, Petersburg wanted to stop the uncontrolled transfer of the population from Korea to the Russian Far East and prevent the unauthorized seizure of state lands by Korean settlers. In 1888, the Russian authorities managed to partially resolve the issue of citizenship of the Korean settlers who settled in Russia. From now on, measures to formalize their legal status were carried out on the basis of the norms of the Russian-Korean convention on border relations of 1888, as well as an oral (gentleman's) agreement between K.I. Weber and Kim Yun Sik. An agreement was reached that the Koreans who settled in Russia before the establishment of Russian-Korean diplomatic relations were recognized as equal with Russian subjects. Migrants who settled in the region after the conclusion of this agreement were to liquidate their farms and return to their homeland. The issue of the status of Korean immigrants was finally settled only in 1900. Russian citizenship was granted to all migrants, including those who resettled after 1884. The author comes to the conclusion that the Far Eastern authorities initially perceived the Korean settlers who settled in the South Ussuriysk Territory as subjects of Russia, but could not provide them with all the benefits in accordance with Russian law, since such a step could cause protests from Korea and China.

Currently, invasive species spreading is becoming a key problem on the global scale. Scope of invasive species control get solved at governmental level in many countries; hundreds of billions dollars a year are allocated as financial support; global programs are created. For the first time, biological control of invasive species Ambrosia artemisiifolia using an introduced phytophage insect was applied in Russia (former USSR) in the 60-70s years of the 20th century and it remains a unique large-scale example until to nowadays. Ambrosia leaf beetle (Zygogramma suturalis (Fabricius, 1775) was brought to the Russian Far East for biological control of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in the 80-90s years of the 20th century for the first time, however the targeted result was not achieved. At present, Zygogramma suturalis were adapted at the Primorskii Krai in the south of the Far East, but due to climatic conditions its numbers are low and, as a result, the impact on ambrosia is minimal. The search for native insect species with capable of effectively suppressing the spread of aggressive quarantine weed in local conditions remains in the area of focus. At the moment, two species of native leaf beetles have been identified, using Ambrosia as an additional element in the diet. Climate changes and the shift of biogeographic boundaries cause the natural expansion of the areals of some East Asian insect species to the north within the Russian Far East. Bug-edge Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) is one of such species. Expanding the area to the north and east, the species also corrects trophic preferences. As a result of our research in the south of Primorskii Krai, the trophic relations of Molipteryx fuliginosa were studied in the field conditions and in rearing cages. The same work was carried out in places where Ambrosia artemisiifolia were growing in a great number. For insects observing were used standard methods. As a result, firstly was established and confirmed that the bug-edge uses Ambrosia artemisiifolia as a feed plant only in select developmental stages, including imago. The feeding of larvae of IV – V ages was noted in natural conditions. The long-time Molipteryx fuliginosa development cycle on ambrosia leads to break the course of normal plant ontogenesis and causes wilting of individual organs.

The structure of geographical (arealogical) elements is one of the most important flora characteristics, because genetic composite groups are established on the basics of generic and species areas analysis and regularities of flora formation are determined. The object of the research is a complete species composition of vascular plants, revealed within the boundaries of the researched forest-steppes - Krasnoyarsk, Kansk and Achinsk (Krasnoyarsk Region). The North forest-steppes flora was detected by the specific flora method established by A.I. Tolmachev. The aim of this work is to summarize materials of the Euro-Siberian geographical element flora structure in the North forest-steppes ecosystems of the Middle Siberia with the characteristics of geographical elements selected on the basis of the fitohorions concept. It is based on the accordance principle of species distribution to natural (Botanical-geographical) zoning of the Earth. To determine the areas we used modern planetary floristic zoning established by A.L. Takhtajan with some amendments: floristic zoning by L.I. Malysheva was taken into account to Siberia, etc., the Russian Far East - by R.V. Camelina. As a result of the work geographical elements of the boreal group were assigned: Circumboreal (133 species, 9,6% of the whole flora), Eurosiberian (384 species, 27,7%), Pontic-South Siberian (81 species, 5,85%), Siberian (154 species, 11,12%).

Эволюция административно-территориального деления (АТД) юга Дальнего Востока России (ДВР) в период с середины XIX в. до 1922 г. проанализирована с точки зрения пространственных изменений основных единиц членения территории, динамики их количественной оценки. С этих позиций восстановлена хронология наиболее значительных для АТД региона событий, выделено и охарактеризовано 4 периода его развития (1856–1883, 1884–1905, 1906–1917, 1918–1922 гг.). Показано значительное пересечение этих периодов с этапами развития переселенческого движения и заселения региона, что указывает на тесную связь между хозяйственным освоением территории юга ДВР и изменением ее административного деления в досоветский период. На основе исторических картографических материалов авторами составлены схемы административного деления юга ДВР на 1900–1902 и 1910–1914 гг. и рассчитаны площади единиц ранга областей и округов/уездов. Также создана база данных, содержащая сведения об оценочной площади этих же единиц по литературным и статистическим материалам. Сравнительный анализ данных, полученных авторами, и сведений из других исторических источников показал, что для областей они имеют близкие значения, тогда как для единиц АТД среднего звена (округа/уезды) есть значительные расхождения в оценках площади. Установлено, что до 1909 г. из-за разночтений в использовании статистических данных по отдельным единицам административного деления среднего звена оценка общей площади Приморской области в некоторых источниках была завышена на 46 тыс. км2, после 1909 г. – почти на 150 тыс. км2. We analyze the spatial changes and quantitative assessment of the main units of the administrative-territorial division (ATD) of the South of the Russian Far East (RFE) in the period from the middle of the XIX century until 1922. Restoration of chronology of the most significant changes of the regional ATD allowed us to identify and characterize 4 periods of ATD development (1856–1883, 1884–1905, 1906–1917, 1918–1922). A significant intersection of these periods with the stages of resettlement movement and population dynamics of the RFE indicates a close connection between the economic development of this territory and its administrative division changes in the pre-Soviet period. On the basis of historical cartographic materials, we compiled schemes of the administrative division of the South of the RFE for 1900–1902 and 1910–1914, and calculated the areas of such administrative units as oblasts and okrugs/uyezds. We also created database of area data for the same ATD units from literature and statistical materials. Comparative analysis of the area data obtained cartographically by the authors and from other historical sources showed similarity of values for the oblasts, while estimations for the okrugs/uyezds have significant differences. We also found that before 1909, due to inconsistencies in the use of statistical data, the total area of the Primorskaya Oblast in some sources was overestimated by 46 thousand km2, and after 1909 by almost 150 thousand km2.

Three new alien species of Chenopodiaceae s. str. (Amaranthaceae s. l.) are reported for the flora of Russia, the North American Chenopodiastrumsimplex and Australian Dysphania carinata and D. pumilio. The identification of the specimens of Chenopodiastrum simplex from Moschny Island in the Leningrad Region (European Russia) was confirmed using both morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Morphologically, C. simplex is very similar to C. badachschanicum having the same fruit and seed characters. A single specimen of Dysphania carinata from Primorye Territory (the Russian Far East) was previously identified as Chenopodium pumilio (≡ Dysphania pumilio) incorrectly. Only recently, the latter species has been indeed found in Beslan town, Republic of North Ossetia – Alania (the North Caucasus). For each species, the possible degree of naturalization is discussed.
