The article raises the problem of self-education of residents of the Karelian border region and the Arctic as the most important aspect of preserving human capital in the territory of the Republic in conditions of stable labour migration. The purpose of the article is to detect the influence of soci-ocultural factors on the level of self-education of the population of the districts remote from the capital centers. In a research the complex methodology including standard and non-standard ques-tionnaires, an interview, colloquiums, focus groups and questioning is used. Residents of Kosto-muksh city district, Sortaval, Pitkärant, Lahdenpoh municipal districts were involved as respondents for the study. The study found that the sociocultural situation is one of the determining factors of the self-educational activity of modern man, as it contributes to the formation of his axiosphere at the level of spiritual and material values. Analysis of the real sociocultural situation at the level of factors of internal order (social dynamics, economic model of development, changes in the political regime, state structure), historical factors (national peculiarities of culture, in the context of which the formation of current generations took place) and the factor of influence of global processes can identify the main factors determining the request for self-educational activities of our contemporar-ies. The results of the cameral processing of empirical data have made it possible to identify two main factors affecting the formation of a high motivation for self-education, which allows the in-habitants of Karelia to realize their spiritual and material needs at a high level and to preserve human capital as the main value of society in the unstable situation of a globalizing world.

The paper describes one of the ways of organizing educational activities in the expositions of the Peter the Great Botanical Garden in St. Petersburg. The authors study the problem of actualization of environmental knowledge among the population and preservation of biodiversity through leisure. The paper analyzes educational work in Russian botanical gardens and some foreign gardens at the present time. The authors introduce the term complex garden as a garden of broad educational opportunities. The paper describes a collection of plants of one of the oldest and largest botanical gardens in Russia. The authors demonstrate a variety of topics for study, detail the content of exhibitions and describe the ways of active and passive activity of visitors on the example of expositions of succulent plants. The paper provides a diagram of ecological and biological knowledge improvement.

The results of introduction studies of 15 Caucasian species of the genus Primula L. (Primula abchasica, P. acaulis, P. algida, P. amoena, P. cordifolia, P. darialica, P. farinosa, P. juliae, P. komarovii, P. macrocalyx, P. pallasii, P. ruprechtii., P. saguramica, P. sibthorpii, P. woronowii) conducted in the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden and Institute are presented. Currently, the institute’s collection contains 8 species (P. acaulis, P. amoena, P. juliae, P. macrocalyx, P. pallasii, P. ruprechtii, P. saguramica, P. woronowii). Ecological and geographical analysis has shown that the species best adapted to the conditions of the Arctic are those that live in the alpine (P. algida, P. amoena, P. cordifolia, P. juliae, P. pallasii, P. ruprechtii, P. sibthorpii – introduction coefficient [IC] =9.4) and subalpine zones of mountains (P. macrocalyx, P. acaulis – IC=8.2). While plants found in the broad-leaved forest zone are less adapted to the new living conditions (P. komarovii, P. saguramica, P. woronowii -IC=6.4). The current research establishes that species of the genus Primula can serve as a source of plant assortments to replenish landscaping in cities in the Murmansk region. For this purpose two new decorative and sustainable species (P. macrocalyx h P. ruprechti) are recommended.

Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute (PABGI) is the northernmost in Russia (67о38'N.) and one of the few botanical gardens in the world inside the Arctic Circle. It has a unique collection of live plants, extensive herbarium funds. The article contains a list of the introduced woody plants in the PABSI collection fund. In 2018, the collection funds of woody plants included 27 families, 57 genera, 271 species, 21 subspecies, 14 species, 17 forms, 22 varieties and 22 hybrids. For the overwhelming majority of tree species introduced in PABGI, the presence of flowering / pollination and fruiting / seed production phases of different regularity is characteristic. The collection has 2 species included in the Russian Federation Red List. In the regional Red Lists of Russia there are 232 samples of 78 taxa of woody plants introduced in the PABGI. According to the list of rare species of IUCN, 298 samples of 106 taxa of woody plants have one particular international protection category or another.

The paper presents the results of introduction studies of 20 European species and 2 taxa of the genus Primula L. in N.A. Avrorin Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute of Kola Scientific Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences. Currently, the collection contains 13 species and 1 taxon ( P . auricula L., P . carpathica Fuss, P . clusiana Tausch, P . daonensis (Leyb.) Leyb., P . elatior (L.) Hill, P . glaucescens Moretti, P . kitaibeliana Schott, P . latifolia Lapeyr, P . minima L., P . poloninensis Fed., P . veris L., P . veris subp. macrocalyx (Bunge) Ldi, P . vulgaris Huds., P . wulfeniana Schott). It has been shown that the species inhabiting the alpine belt of mountains are best adapted to the conditions of the Arctic ( Primula auricula , P . carpathica , P . clusiana , P . halleri , P . minima , P . pedemontana , P . scandinavica , P . vulgaris ssp. rubra , P . tyrolensis , P . wulfeniana - IC (introduction coefficient) = 8,3, as well as P . elatior (IC = 8,1) and P . veris subsp. macrocalyx , P . vulgaris (IС = 7,6). The rest of the studied species are less adapted. It has been established that species of the genus Primula can serve as a source of replenishment of the landscaping assortment for the Murmansk Region. For this purpose 2 new ornamental and resistant species were recommended ( Primula carpathica , P . clusiana ).

In the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden (67o38′N and 33o37′E) plants of the mountains of Southern Siberiahave been tested since 1934 (Altai) and 1936 (Sayan Mountains). Plants obtained from field trips to that areas. Theanalysis of the existing diversity of rare and endangered plants from the mountains of Southern Siberia in the open groundcollection of the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden is carried out. Currently, the collection of rare plants of the mountains ofSouthern Siberia totals 18 species belonging to 14 genera of 12 families. Four species are included in the Red Book of theRussian Federation: Allium altaicum, Erythronium sibiricum, Fritillaria dagana, Rheum compactum. Three plants in needof protection are included in the Red List of Threatened Taxa of the International Union for Conservation of Nature: –Species in close to threatened status (conservation status NT): Allium altaicum; – Least Concerned Species (conservationstatus LC): Allium ledebourianum, Paeonia anomala. All studied species in the conditions of the Arctic annually bloomand are able to produce viable seeds. The group of plants reaching the fruiting phase is very heterogeneous:– bear fruitannually: Allium altaicum, Sedum roseum, Erythronium sibiricum, Callianthemum sajanense; – bear fruit almost annually:Allium ledebourianum, Stemmacantha carthamoides, Iris bloudowii, Iris sibirica, Paeonia anomala, Primula elatior ssp.pallasii, Primula veris ssp. macrocalyx; – bear fruit irregularly: Iris humilis, Rheum altaicum, Adonis apennina; – rarelybear fruit: Brunnera sibirica, Gentiana dschungarica, Hemerocallis lilio-asphodelus, Fritillaria dagana.
