The article assesses prospects of the Russian-Korean cooperation and analyzes risks and opportunities of the trilateral energy projects on the Korean Peninsula. The author noted that energy sector is the key area of bilateral cooperation between Russia and the Republic of Korea, but it’s mainly represented by the trade in primary energy resources. The study identified the export potential of Russian hydrocarbons to the market of the Republic of Korea. As for the DPRK, the paper shows that within bilateral relations geopolitical interests prevail over the economic ones. The small capacity of the DPRK's domestic market and the absence of fixation sources do not allow considering it as an independent full-fledged market for the Russian energy resources. The main goal of the energy strategy of Russia and the Russian Far East is increasing the volume of exports of the primary energy resources to the APR countries. Russian prospects for the new product niches in the energy markets of the Republic of Korea are associated with the implementation of trilateral energy projects among Russia, the DPRK and the Republic of Korea. It includes creation of the interstate power transmission lines and construction of a gas pipeline. All parties are interested in these projects. As for Russia, it is primarily the expansion of energy exports, including occupation of the commodity niches in new markets, and strengthening of the political role in the region. As for the Republic of Korea, these projects mean diversification of supplies and costs’ reduction of the import energy resources. And as for the DPRK, these projects imply an additional source of financing (as payment for transit), improvement of the country's energy infrastructure and reduction of the deficit of energy resources. Despite the prospects, the author determined that in the near future implementation of the projects is unlikely due to the unresolved transit risks.

В рамках современного подхода к оценке гравитационных зависимостей, на основе применения метода квазимаксимального правдоподобия Пуассона, определены сравнительные значения торговых барьеров, а также сравнительный потенциал расширения торговли регионов Дальнего Востока с ключевыми экономиками Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона (далее 􀀐 АТР). При соотношении оценок, полученных в рамках традиционного и современного подходов к оценке гравитационных зависимостей, показаны схожие результаты и расхождения. Современный подход к оценке указал на заметный потенциал для расширения торговли регионов Дальнего Востока со странами Северо-Восточной Азии, что подтверждает выводы о наращивании торговых взаимодействий между крупными и близлежащими экономиками в результате либерализации торговли. The objective of the paper is to assess comparative trade barriers between the regions of the Russian Far East and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region based on the modern approach to assessing gravity models, as well as to assess the potential for increasing mutual trade. The author has shown that the countries of the Asia-Pacific region are the largest trading partners for the Russian Far East (RFE), characterizing perceptible differences in the geographical and regional structure of the trade interactions. Since the customs duties on RFE exports are high, it is the main source of the tariff burden on the mutual trade. The findings indicate the following similar results between the traditional and modern approaches: the lowest comparative value of the trade barriers is typical for the trade between the RFE and the Republic of Korea; the trade between the RFE on the one hand and China and the Republic of Korea on the other has intensified; reducing the tariff barriers was not sufficient to boost the trade between the RFE and the Asia-Pacific countries; trade restrictions initiated by the Russian side resulted in a transition from the tariff barriers to the institutional ones; the groups of the RFE regions with similar characteristics of the comparative potential for expanding trade relations with the Asia-Pacific countries were identified. The evaluation shows some differences in outcomes between the two approaches. First, under the traditional approach the trade barriers were generally overestimated, so the estimates using the modern approach were more realistic, reflecting the possible changes in the price of foreign goods. Second, using the modern assessment approach, expanding the trade between the RFE regions and the close markets in the Northeast Asia (Korea, China and Japan) has a greater potential than with the remote countries (USA and South-Asian countries). These assessments support the early findings that trade interactions between the large and neighboring economies has a high potential as a result of trade liberalization.

Structural Vulnerability

The article describes a way to represent the structure of the energy system using an undirected weighted graph. It also considers the concept of structural vulnerability of the electrical grid as a key property affecting the reliability of power supply. We consider isolated energy systems of the Russian Far East, taking into account the differentiation in structural vulnerability within the networks of different types. For these purposes we propose the technique of designing and using geodatabase for the structural vulnerability assessment in the territories of the Kamchatka Territory, Magadan and Sakhalin regions. The designed technique is based on the use of open source data about power transmission lines (PTL), substations and power plants. Remote sensing data was also used. It is introduced a principle of zoning study area based on geoprocessing model. These maps were compared with some maps of crucial climatic parameters such as maximum wind speed and sleet deposits wall thickness.

Рассматриваются исторические этапы сближения двух стран, формирование определённой политики Республики Корея по отношению к Дальнему Востоку России. Прослежены начальные шаги в истории налаживания контактов двух государств, трудности межгосударственного взаимодействия в условиях отсутствия прямой дипломатической коммуникации, использование дипломатических площадок других стран. В налаживании контактов отмечена положительная роль спортивных соревнований – VII-й Летней Универсиады 1973 г. в Москве и летней Олимпиады 1988 г. в Сеуле, деловых контактов главных библиотек Советского Союза и Республики Корея 1974 г. Полезными шагами в деле нормализации отношений между СССР и Южной Кореей можно считать и поездки отдельных граждан, и делегаций для участия в международных научных, культурных мероприятиях, проводимых в СССР, например поездка корейского музыканта Чон Мёнхуна в Москву, занявшего 2-е место в международном музыкальном конкурсе. Отмечено, что 1989 г. был насыщен корейско-российскими контактами: приезд корейской делегации и совещание по вопросам судоходства в Москве, где стороны договорились о принципах установления регулярных прямых водных маршрутов, вели речь о поездках в Южную Корею ряда статусных советских руководителей – директора Института США и Канады АН СССР Г. А. Арбатова и директора Института востоковедения М. С. Капицы; затем вторая поездка Ким Ён Сама в СССР и его встреча с М. С. Горбачевым. Обмен делегациями завершила встреча М. С. Горбачева и Ро Дэ У в июне 1990 г., было принято решение об установлении дипломатических отношений между СССР и РК. Договор об установлении дипломатических отношений был подписан 30 сентября 1990 г. в Нью-Йорке. Ключевые слова: начальные деловые и культурные контакты, Чон Мёнхун, Г. А. Арбатов, М. С. Капица, обмен делегациями, поездка Ким Ён Сама в СССР, договорённость М. С. Горбачева и Ро Дэ У, дипломатические отношения, подписание договора в 1990 г. The historical stages of rapprochement between the two countries, the formation of a certain policy of the Republic of Korea in relation to the Russian Far East are considered. The initial steps in the history of establishing contacts between the two states, the difficulties of interstate interaction in the absence of direct diplomatic communication, the use of diplomatic platforms of other countries are traced. In establishing contacts, the positive role of sports competitions was noted – the VII Summer Universiade 1973 in Moscow and the Summer Olympics 1988 in Seoul, the initial business contacts of the main libraries of the Soviet Union and the Republic of Korea in 1974. Useful steps in normalizing relations between the USSR and South Korea can be considered both trips of individual citizens and delegations to participate in international scientific and cultural events held in the USSR, for example, the trip of the Korean musician Chung Myungwhun to Moscow, which took 2nd place in the international music competition. It was noted that 1989 was rich in Korean-Russian contacts: the arrival of a Korean delegation and a meeting on shipping issues in Moscow, where the parties agreed on the principles for establishing regular direct water routes, spoke about trips to South Korea by a number of high-status Soviet leaders – directors of the Institute for US and Canadian Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. G. A. Arbatov and Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies M. S. Kapitsa; then Kim Youngsam’s second trip to the USSR and his meeting with M. S. Gorbachev. The exchange of delegations was completed by the meeting of M. S. Gorbachev and Roh Taewoo in June 1990, a decision was made to establish diplomatic relations between the USSR and the Republic of Korea. An agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations was signed on September 30, 1990 in New York. Keywords: initial business and cultural contacts, Chung Myungwhun, G. A. Arbatov, M. S. Kapitsa, exchange of delegations, Kim Youngsam’s trip to the USSR, agreement between M. S. Gorbachev and Roh Taewoo, diplomatic relations, signing of the agreement in 1990.

Abstract PlAMV was first described from the wild/weedy plant Plantago asiatica in the Russian Far East, and a Nandina mosaic isolate from cultivated Nandina domestica in the USA. PlAMV also naturally infects P. asiatica and Rehmannia glutinosa in the Republic of Korea, and N. domestica, Primula sieboldii, Lilium maximowiczii [Lilium leichtlinii var. maximowiczii] and Viola grypoceras in Japan. PlAMV has also been detected in commercially grown lilies in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, Taiwan, the USA, Republic of Korea, Chile, China, New Zealand, India and Costa Rica. Japanese lily isolates are distinct from 'European-like' lily isolates, suggesting more than one introduction into lilies. Widespread occurrence in cultivated lilies is likely due to international distribution of infected bulbs. Losses of up to 80% have been reported in commercial greenhouse cut-flower production. PlAMV is able to spread readily through soil by uptake (and probably exudation) through the roots and is quite stable in contaminated planting media; no animal vector is known. PlAMV has a wide experimental host range.

Northern Policy

The Republic of Korea (ROK) has not traditionally regarded the Russian Federation as an important partner in the Korean security crisis. Nevertheless, the ROK–Russia relationship has grown by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, the Moon Jae-in administration’s “New Northern Policy,” which focuses especially on economic collaboration with Russia, exhibits a great deal of compatibility with the “turn to the East” in the Russian Federation’s recent foreign and domestic policies. For Seoul, the “New Northern Policy” is not simply a means of generating economic benefits for the ROK but is also part of Seoul’s plans for promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula. Indeed, the Kremlin shares with South Korea not only the goal of increased economic interconnectivity but also a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula. Nevertheless, two main barriers exist undermining aims outlined in the New Northern Policy. The continuation of the crisis over North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, particularly the perpetuation of the various layers of sanctions against Pyongyang, frustrate the economic integration as espoused in the New Northern Policy. Furthermore, economic conditions within Russia, namely, a lack of economic development within the Russian Far East, frustrate South Korean hopes for greater trade connectivity with Russia. Substantial changes to both the Northeast Asian sub-regional order as well as in the Russian Federation’s domestic economic situation, therefore, are necessary before the prospects envisioned in Seoul’s New Northern Policy can be realized.

The level of topological complexity of land transport networks (including roads, railways and winter seasonal roads) of 27 regions of Siberia and the Far East is analyzed on the basis of 16 topomorphometric parameters. The main types of topological defects in the structure of regional land transport networks were identified: spatial isolation (rupture), an increased level of branching, the presence of several cyclic cores and isolated cyclic elements, and multi-core topological tiers of cyclic cores. The highest degree of isolation is revealed in the transport networks of Kamchatka Territory, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Khabarovsk Territory and Tomsk Oblast. Transport networks of the Republic of Altai, the Kamchatka Territory, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republics of Tuva and Buryatia, the Jewish Autonomous Okrug and of the Island of Sakhalin, as well as the main cyclic skeleton of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug’s winter seasonal roads have the highest level of branching. Multi- layeredness is characteristic of the transport network of the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Districts, the Kemerovo Oblast, the Khabarovsk Territory and Buryatia. The multifocal nature of the second topological tier of the cyclic skeleton is a distinctive feature of land transport networks in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Irkutsk Oblast, the Republic of Yakutia, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk Oblasts. The same feature is characteristic for the third topological tier of the communications’ network in the Altai Territory. According to the level of spatial reliability (vulnerability) of the topological structure, the following types of regional transport networks are distinguished: the most reliable (4 regions), highly reliable (8), medium reliable (5), highly vulnerable with a low level of spatial reliability (5), the most vulnerable with a minimum level of spatial reliability (5 regions).

Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East: The fifth session of the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East opened at Singapore on October 20,1949. Among the items considered at the session were the reports of ECAFE's various subordinate and technical bodies; the question of admission of Viet-Nam and Korea to associate membership; reports on continued cooperation with the specialized agencies and on the United Nations program of technical assistance for economic development; and the plan for an economic survey of Asia and the Far East for 1949. Under the chairmanship of Malik Sir Firoz Khan Noon (Pakistan) the commission turned first to the question of the admission of associate members. Applications were before the commission from both the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam and the French-supported State of Viet-Nam, as well as from both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea. The commission heard discussion by the representatives of France (Maux) and the Soviet Union (Nemtchina) on the legality of the respective Vietnamese applications and, by a vote of 8 to 1, admitted the State of Viet-Nam to associate membership. After comment by the representatives of the United States (Cowen) and the Soviet Union (Nemtchina) in support of the two Korean applications, the commission by a vote of 11 to 1 approved admission of the Republic of Korea and rejected the application of the Korean People's Republic by a vote of 9 to 2.
