The article analyzes activities of Russian public organizations in China in 1917 after the Russian February Revolution of 1917. Previously unstudied archival sources demonstrate that during that period, a large Russian diaspora formed in the Republic of China. Its composition depended on the specifics of the region. Information about the events in Russia and the revolutionary agitators arriving in China sharply intensified political life in the Russian colonies. This tendency was most pronounced in Manchuria, where the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER) had a key influence on the life of the Russian diaspora. Beginning in March 1917, various public organizations and associations began to form here - executive committees, councils of workers’ and soldiers’ deputies, party cells of the RSDLP(b). Throughout the year, rallies, demonstrations, and meetings were held in Harbin in support of the revolution and against the Russian administration of the road; here the sentiment was caution and distrust towards the events in Russia. The destabilization of the political situation caused dissatisfaction of the Chinese authorities and the international community, as it violated the work of the CER and led to the introduction of Chinese troops in Harbin. While in Xinjiang public organizations were less active in 1917 they nevertheless aroused the Chinese leadership’s concern, as agitation could easily lead to serious ethnic conflicts, especially multinational East Turkestan had not yet recovered from the 1916 uprising. There were no such organizations in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin. However, one of the main consequences of these events was the weakening of Russian positions in China, as well as in the Far East and Central Asia as a whole.

В статье на основе архивных источников, в первую очередь – отчетов областных органов управления, анализируется внутриполитическая ситуация в Дальневосточной республике с конца 1920 г. до осени 1922 г. Территориальные рамки исследования включают Прибайкальскую, Забайкальскую, Амурскую, Приамурскую и Бурят-Монгольскую автономные области. Приморская область входила в состав ДВР полгода, с 5 декабря 1920 г. по 26 мая 1921 г., и ее областное управление не представило в центр ни одного отчета о своей работе. Основное внимание автор сосредоточил на «больных вопросах», с которыми столкнулась новая власть. Органы власти и управления ДВР должны были обеспечивать собственное функционирование, освобождать Дальний Восток от белогвардейцев и интервентов, обеспечивать армию и население продовольствием и товарами первой необходимости, но давление подводной повинности, налогов, хлебозаготовок на население вызывало обострение внутриполитической ситуации в республике: рост оппозиционных настроений, усиление сопротивления крестьян и казаков требованиям властей, принимавшее разнообразные формы (дезертирство, бандитизм, затягивание сроков выплаты налогов с надеждой на их отмену или уменьшение, «письма во власть» с жалобами на разоренное войной хозяйство, тяжесть подводной повинности, стихийные бедствия, сокращение посевов, продажа зерна за границу и пр.). Ключевые слова: Дальневосточная республика, Гражданская война, внутриполитическое положение, областные управления, продовольственный кризис, хлебозаготовки, налоги, мобилизация, бандитизм Drawing on archival sources, the article presents the analysis of the internal political situation in the Far Eastern Republic during the period from the end of 1920 to the fall of 1922. The author focuses on the “painful issues” the new government faced. It was supposed that the authorities of the Far Eastern Republic would ensure the functioning of the administrative system, liberate the Far East from the White Guards and interventionists, provide the army and the population with food and essential goods. However, the heavy pressure of cart conscription, taxes and grain procurement on the population caused the inflaming of the internal political situation in the republic. It resulted in the increasing opposition and growth of peasant and Cossack resistance to the demands of the authorities, which took various forms.

The article examines the role of the Far East in modern Russian-Mongolian trade and economic relations. Based on the data of customs statistics, the features of mutual trade of the Far Eastern subjects with Mongolia are determined. The factors determining the growing interest of Ulaanbaatar to Russian Far Eastern ports are identified. Author highlights the Mongolian projects of railways construction, potentially aimed at enhancing transport connectivity with Russian territories, especially in the context of mineral raw materials supply diversification. The «bottlenecks» of the transport and logistics environment in the region bordering on Mongolia – the Republic of Buryatia, are shown. The research findings are applicable to management practices, especially those concerning transport and logistics solutions to ensure Russian-Mongolian trade.

On the territory of the Republic of Buryatia, six nosological forms of infectious diseases have epizootic significance among cattle. The most widespread are leptospirosis, rabies, and isolated cases of pasteurellosis. Natural foci of rabies were formed, confined to the environmental conditions of the neighboring territories of Mongolia and the TRANS-Baikal territory. Epizootic process tends to polyhostal manifestation with the threat of expanding the focus and complicating the epidemic situation in the entire region of Siberia and the Far East. In 2018 169 heads of cattle were identified with a positive reaction to leptospirosis in 13 administrative districts. Preventive immunization of animals with the control of immunity tension in areas with a high risk of introduction of infectious diseases is the basis for maintaining epizootic well-being throughout the region.

Within the period which followed the proclamation of the Philippines' independence, 1946, the country became one of the few states where a woman occupied the highest position in the Government. Corazon Aquino was elected president of the republic in 1984. If we also mention that the Philippine women include hundreds of physicians, business managers, university professors, and that they form two thirds of the law students in the country, we might conclude, from the above facts, that the Philippine woman has' achieved a high degree of freedom and modernism.

In the 21st century, the Arctic region has become an object of high attention and extensive studies from the side of the international community. The countries of Northeast Asia, particularly China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, demonstrate their interest in the Arctic issue. Among the opportunities to get involved in the development of the Arctic is the collaboration with Russia. The countries have common interests in the region and complementary opportunities. Moreover, Russia and the countries of Northeast Asia do not have critical disagreements between themselves. The authors argue that the collaboration between Russia and the countries of Northeast Asia can potentially establish a new economic paradigm in the High North. One of the key elements of such collaboration is the Russian region of the Far East, a territory that Russia attempts to develop and integrate into the economy of Northeast Asia. Among other issues, this chapter discusses the capacity of the Far East as a gate through which the countries of Northeast Asia may approach the Arctic.
