The article presents the analysis of the state youth policy as an instrument of influence on the state and social development of youth, its social activity. The contradictions that exist between the performance indicators declared by the state policy and the real problems of youth, determined by the living conditions, are indicated. Based on the results of all-Russian and regional sociological studies and statistics, the motives of migratory movements of youth from their territories of residence to the centers of gravity of the country and foreign countries that have more attractive living and employment conditions for youth are justified. Using the example of the Russian Far East, the dysfunctional consequences of the clerical-bureaucratic approach laid down in the state youth policy to quantify the state of youth ignoring its large-scale migration outflow from the territories of residence are substantiated. Scientific and practical recommendations on improvement of indicators of the state youth policy promoting strengthening of its role in providing the basic needs of youth in various spheres of activity, especially in development of youth business are offered.

Far Eastern

In the contemporary history of the Far Eastern policy there is certain  repetitiveness, we are referring to several periods when  Moscow tried to ensure the development of the region by the means  of special large-scale development programs. The program goals  remained unreached and the approach itself appeared to be  discredited and shortly after this took place a radical change of the  Far Eastern policy - from the state patronage to the reliance on  private capital. Program approach is based on the good the premise  that the state is capable of fixing the weaknesses and to lift  restrictions for the economic growth of the Far East by concentrating  administrative and financial efforts on priority areas.  Activation of the Far Eastern policy in response to the deteriorating geopolitical and economical conditions in the region  was the most obvious reaction of the state seeking to increase its  capacity at the expenses of an access to new resources and markets. Moreover, such a policy is usually based on the grand  strategy (from Mikhail Gorbachev’s «new thinking» and «return to  civilization» to the contemporary «turn to the East» and Vladimir  Putin’s «big Eurasia») and is supported by all the power of the Far  Eastern geopolitical mythology. However, as our analysis shows - this  is the wrong answer Realistic development way of this territory  as confirmed by experience is a slow process of individual projects  with clear prospects of accessing the export markets. The key  problem on this way is the state's ability to choose priorities and to  keep the planned line avoiding endless expansion objectives, preferential regimes and financing scopes. The  geopolitical argument used by supporters of the active  Far Eastern  policy rather hinders than promotes the development of the region,  pushing the country to the cost savings path.

The article studies the creation of the first archival organization in Primorye, the Primorye Regional Archival Committee. It was due to the efforts of professors of the history and philology faculty (later, part of the Far Eastern State University), one of the first higher education institutions in the Russian Far East, established in Vladivostok in 1918 by the inteligentsia escaping the Civil War. The article attempts to identify and systematize the scattered papers of departmental archives in order to promote the development of the archiving and the study of the region. The research has revealed several factors that contributed to the emergence of archiving in the Far East, one of them large-scale migration during the Civil War with predominance of educated and enterprising people. After receiving the status of scientific institution, the Primorye Regional Archival Committee (later, the Primorye Province Archival Bureau) reviewed, collected, and described documents in major departmental archives of the region, thus laying the foundation of archiving in the Russian Far East, and, moreover, identified historical artifacts, thus providing a headstart for archaeologists and ethnographers. The first archivists laid down professional foundations for archival studies in the Far East. Their methodological recommendations published in the Bulletin of the Primorie Regional Archival Committee (Izvestiya Primorskoi oblastnoi arkhivnoi komissii) or separately haven’t yet lost their significance. Promulgation of archiving and public involvement in the search for valuable historical records and objects provide an example of skill and efficacy. These activities were all the more significant since they started on a voluntary basis, with no official support or funding. The article draws on publications and materials from the personal archive of A. P. Georgievsky (1888–1955), archivist and educator. New materials help to clarify the first archivists’ biographical data and to assess the significance of their activities in identifying and collecting data about the history of the Far East and for further development of its archives.
