The general level of socio-economic development and the quality of life depend on the economic availability of food, i.e. the ability of the local population to buy products recommended by the Ministry of Health. Each family has the right to afford quality food for all household members. The local economic availability of food depends, first of all, on the income per capita in a particular region. The present research assessed the economic availability of food in the Republic of Buryatia using such indicators as food supplies, cash income per capita, household budget structure, and self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs. The results were compared with the food situation in other regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and the average Russian data.

The subject of the research is the population decline and, as a result, a drop in the labor potential in the Far East. The relevance of the problems under study is due, firstly, to the low population density in this area, secondly, negative values of the natural movement of the population, thirdly, migration of working-age people to other regions, fourthly, relatively low indicators of standards and quality of life of citizens living in the Far East. Together, the negative factors identified in the area carry a geopolitical threat and impede the desired strategic socio-economic development of Russia. The purpose of the paper was to reveal the factors contributing to the growth of the labor potential in the Far Eastern Federal District based on an analysis of ongoing processes and existing regularities of critical interrelationships. The study is based on the analysis of changes in the population of the Far East regions, migration growth/decline indicators, life expectancy factors in the gender context, trends in loss/growth of budget incomes per capita as well as the per capita cash income. An integrated approach to increasing the labor potential of the population in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District is proposed based on the analysis of the interrelationships of demographic, cultural, economic and social processes taking into account the concepts of self-protective behavior, human capital, and social clusterism. It is concluded that this approach can be used by government agencies in the implementation of the plan of the long-term socio-economic development of the Far East.

National economic growth plays an important role in the education rate of society, since there is a strong connection between the success of the country and the level of development of human capital. In this sense, universities, as leaders of higher education, can powerfully affect the socio-economic development of society. In this article, the authors investigated different models of university development with the intention of determining the importance of their association. In addition, the authors evaluated the level and trends of the development of alliances between the universities of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) as a tool for the implementation of their mission. To do this, they analyzed the websites of FEFD universities to reflect data on common activities within social activities. They also did a comparative analysis to compare the characteristics of the universities and evaluate the differences in the implementation of the social function. Finally, the correlation analysis was used to determine the effect of social events, the number of students and the university ranking. Based on these analyzes, it can be concluded that most of the universities are located in three regions: Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, as well as the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which are pioneers in terms of the number of students. While there is a tendency to reduce government involvement in university support, the FEFD increases. In addition, it has been shown that there is a relationship between the position in the ranking of universities in the region and the number of social events. Regarding the structure of university activities in matters of social responsibility, the development of university partnership interactions in the process of implementation of social responsibility has been verified, but the level of formalization of relationships is extremely low.

<p>The problem of monotown restructuring is today extremely acute for Russia in the social, economic and political terms. The core of the problem lies in the obsolete technological base, underdevelopment of small and medium business, poor quality of life, weak mobility of human capital and lack of innovations. Most mono-settlements in Yakutia (15) are located in the Far Eastern Federal District. On January 1, 2016, there lived 152,507 people, or 16% of the whole population of the republic. Development of civilization frontier requires mastering the best practices of innovative infrastructure development infrastructure and its total modernization. Any attractive investment project should take into account the potential socio-cultural risks and be attractive for the local population. Therefore, the problem of monotowns, especially in the Russian context, is the main problem of the implementation of a coherent social policy, systematically deployed at corporate and regional levels. A research on the social wellbeing of the population in the conditions of transformation of the Northern mono-settlements will make it possible to improve relations between the local authorities and the population, creating the preconditions for a constructive public dialogue and consolidation of the society. This experience will give a specific technology and identify possible potentials for the formation of new generation cities.</p>

The expansion of the borders of the Far Eastern Federal District due to the inclusion of the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Republic of Buryatia in its composition actualizes the problem of inequality of regions (primarily in the social sphere), which in the new boundaries of the macroregion has significantly increased and has acquired a «supernormal» character. It has been established that the lag of the «new» Far Eastern subjects in the level of social development is accompanied by an increase in negative phenomena in the social sphere. The necessity of implementing a set of measures to form a «corridor of opportunities» that regions can use, including within the framework of interregional interaction within the Far Eastern Federal District, has been substantiated

This study reviews and compares the market potential of two macro-areas in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the AZRF (Arctic zone of the Russian Federation) and the FEFD (Far Eastern Federal District. Moreover, this work shows that a significant part of supply and demand in municipalities' domestic markets is concentrated in the FEFD. Until recently, the AZRF and the FEFD were not considered by the State as a single government body. Transferred powers to the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the development of the Far East and the Arctic has allowed the territory of the Arctic uluses of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to be included in the social and economic development of the FEFD.

Based on the studied documentary sources of the Central State Archives and the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Almaty), regional archives of the East Kazakhstan (Ust-Kamenogorsk, Semey, Ayaguz), where is a whole layer of documents on the topic under consideration, an objective picture of everyday life peoples deported to the territory of the East Kazakhstan: Germans, Chechens, Ingush, etc. are recreated. In the late 1930s, the deported peoples were sent to remote areas for special settlements (hence the name «special settlers», «special settlers»). Kazakhstan was also included among such territories. Whole peoples forcibly evicted from their homes formally retained the status of full-fledged Soviet citizens but were deprived of the right of movement and free choice of residence.The documents contained in the archives make it possible to reveal various aspects of the topic under consideration, showing the daily life of the special settlers: the difficulties and problems they encountered during resettlement and placement in a new place. The systematization of the identified sources made it possible to determine the number and resettlement of the special settlers, their household and labor structure. Analysis of the documents showed that the placement of the special settlers in the new place was difficult, which led to negative social and demographic consequences. The situation of the deported peoples, despite the measures taken for the household and labor arrangement, was difficult. The deportation of peoples led to irreparable damage to the material and spiritual culture of ethnic groups, doomed people to a low social status and standard of living. However, thanks to the support of the local population, people were able not only to survive, but also by adapting to new conditions, to contribute to the economic development of the region at this difficult time. The article provides a thorough and detailed analysis of the sources of the regional archive, which made it possible to solve the tasks, set in the work and draw appropriate conclusions based on the analysis.

Аннотация. Республика Бурятия и Забайкальский край указом президента Российской Федерации 3 ноября 2018 года вошли в состав Дальневосточного федерального округа. Эти субъекты имеют свою социальноэкономическую специфику по отношению к другим субъектам по структуре экономики, уровню жизни населения, экономикогеографическому положению. Одна из главных целей работы была сравнить новые субъекты с другими субъектами Дальневосточного федерального округа по структуре экономики и социальноэкономическому положению и его динамики. Оба региона как было установлено имеют схожие структуры экономики с приграничными субъектами юга Дальнего Востока. Они имеют довольно низкие социальноэкономические показатели по отношению к подавляющему большинству субъектов Российской Федерации, так и в особенности среди субъектов Дальневосточного региона находясь наряду с Еврейской автономной областью в числе аутсайдеров. Это было подсчитано на примере одного из коэффициентов сравнения, который показывает степень социальноэкономического развития между субъектами федерального округа. Также на примере этого коэффициента выявлено, что рассматриваемые регионы также уступают значительной части других регионов по динамике социальноэкономических показателей. Оба региона имеют небольшую долю в социально экономических показателях округа, прежде всего за счет слабого развития регионов. Это вызывает и снижение этих показателей в расчете на 1 человека по округу. Был выявлен ряд экономических особенностей и географических факторов характерных для причинноследственной связи низкого социальноэкономического положения и развития Республики Бурятия и Забайкальского края по отношению к другим субъектам федерального округа. На примере структуре экономики регионов указано, что наибольшие социальноэкономические показатели имеют регионы с высокой долей промышленности за счет добычи полезных ископаемых. Обозначен ряд факторов, которые сказываются или должны сказываться положительно на развитии новых субъектов в будущем в составе нового федерального округа. Были подсчитаны изменения социальноэкономических показателей для Дальневосточного федерального округа в результате произошедшего изменения его границ. By a decree of the President of the Russian Federation on November 3, the Republic of Buryatia and the TransBaikal Territory became a part of the Far Eastern Federal District. These subjects have their own socioeconomic specifics relatively to other subjects by the structure of economy, the standard of living of the population, and the economic geographical position. One of the main goals of the work was to compare new subjects with other subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of the economic structure, a socioeconomic situation, and its dynamics. Both regions were found to have similar economic structures with the border regions of the south of the Far East. They have rather low socioeconomic indicators relatively to the overwhelming majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation, and especially among the subjects of the Far Eastern region, being together with the Jewish Autonomous Region among the outsiders. This was calculated by example of one of the comparison coefficients, which shows the degree of socioeconomic development between the subjects of the Federal district. Besides, by example of this coefficient, it was revealed that the regions under consideration conceded a significant part of other regions in the dynamics of socioeconomic indicators. Both regions have a small share in the socioeconomic indicators of the district, primarily because of weak development of the regions. This causes a decrease in these indicators per 1 person in the district. A number of economic features and geographical factors typical of a causal relationship of a low socioeconomic status and development of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransBaikal Territory relatively to other subjects of the Federal district were identified. By example of the structure of regional economy, it is indicated that, the regions with the highest share of industry have the highest socioeconomic indicators at the expense of mining. A number of factors are indicated that affect or should have a positive effect on the development of new subjects in future as part of a new federal district. The changes in socioeconomic indicators for the Far Eastern Federal District that occurred as a result of the change in its borders have been calculated.
