This study explores the developing relations between three countries: Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, where migration issues and demographic change remain a sensitive subject in public discourse. With declining population and low fertility rates, Russia is facing a serious demographic crisis. Russian government relies on international migration to improve the current demographic situation. This paper reviews social policies that enable the migration flow from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to Russia. Issues such as chain migration and new state demographic initiatives are central in this investigation. The recent changes to Russian Federal Law N256-FZ (Maternity capital) are also being investigated. This study provides a useful frame for further exploration of social forces that shape migration patterns and policies within Central Asia and Russia.

The fertility influence of spousal intimate relationships is unknown. Drawing on the Giddens’s theory of transformation of intimacy, this study proposed a hypothesis that couples supporting egalitarian intimate relationships, with a greater risk profile attached to the relationship, and having less attachments to the external normative pressures shaping marital relations, are more likely to have low-fertility intentions and preferences. Using data from a self-administered pilot survey ( n = 375 prospective grooms and brides) designed by the authors, and employing multivariate regression models, we found that the lower attachment to external social forces in mate selection was associated with the lower ideal number of children, and those with a greater spousal relational egalitarianism and a higher risk profile attached to their relationships preferred lower number of children and were less likely to intend to have children after marriage. The study sheds new light on the determinants of low fertility.

The subject. The article characterizes the role of Russian Constitution, federal laws and bylaws in ensuring tax security.The purpose of the article is to identify legal norms that ensure the tax security of the state, and to confirm the hypothesis that such norms hat such norms are effective in systemic interaction.The methodology. The author uses methods of system analysis of scientific papers devoted to the provision of various types of security. Formal logical and legal interpretation of Russian regulatory legal acts is used also.The main results. Regulatory documents in the field of tax security can be classified into: the Constitution of the Russian Federation at the highest level; program documents (conventions, strategies, charters, concepts, programs, doctrines, standards, directives) as acts of the first level, the legislation of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities is at the second level; departmental regulatory legal acts are at the third level. The law on security should be an act of direct action that determines the content of the management activities of public authorities to ensure security by fixing its goals, principles, the most general forms and means of implementation. The basis of legal provision of tax security at the legislative level should be defined in the federal law on security as well as in the federal law "On Tax Authorities of the Russian Federation" (in intra-governmental relations context because tax authorities are the main subjects of tax administration) and in the Russian Tax Code (concerning relations between public administration bodies and private entities). Any draft legislative acts affecting issues of tax relations and economic management should be examined for compliance with national interests in the field of tax security and the effectiveness of minimizing threats. Each legislative act should take into account the implementation of the goals and principles of ensuring tax security (as well as other types of security) enshrined in the concept document. Such expertise is possible in the process of approving draft laws by the Russian Government as well as when registering relevant bylaws by the Russian Ministry of JusticeConclusions. The Russian Constitution should consolidate a unified approach to the essence of security as a whole. Legislative acts (first of all, the laws on security, on tax authorities, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) should provide for the main directions of countering threats to tax security arising in the relevant areas of regulation. By-laws and regulations are designed to fix specific managerial ways of dealing with such threats.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the analysis of normative acts regulating the application of project and program management principles in the budget planning process in Russia. Objectives: to assess the regulatory framework of project and program management for its integrity, consistency and compliance with budget legislation and international standards of program and project management; to formulate the areas to optimize program and project budgeting in Russia. Methods: the research uses methods of comparative legal and system analysis. Results: the main issues in legal regulation in the field of research are identified, including: non-compliance of the actual strategic planning procedure with the requirements of the federal law; excessive number and mutual duplication of the content of project and program documents in the absence of their clear hierarchy; non-compliance in the Russian legislation with such basic principles of project and program management as the limited time of the goals and objectives in program documents, concentration of powers to manage projects (programs) and responsibility for their results in the same position; the actual withdrawal of the legislative power and the Russian Government from participation in program and project management; dual power in industry management. Conclusions: to overcome the above shortcomings the following measures, among all, are advisable: to fix the status of national projects in the Federal Law “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” as the fundamental planning documents; to include data on the volume of their financial support and main activities in national projects, excluding current costs and measures already listed in the state programs; to restore the powers of the Russian Government to give approval on the national projects content (passports) as well as the federal projects outside the national ones; to bridge the gap between the powers and responsibilities of program (project) managers.

By the mid-1880s, Russia took over Central Asia and approached closely to the borders of Afghanistan. As a result of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–1880), Russia's southern neighbour assumed the status of a British protectorate and lost the right to an independent foreign policy. Against the backdrop of the ongoing Russian-British confrontation in Central Asia, Russian authorities felt an urgent need to obtain the reliable information on Afghanistan, but did not have an opportunity to send an envoy there and had to develop semi-legal intelligence activities and rely on the information obtained largely from local dwellers. Between 1882 and 1900, Russian Government opened four diplomatic offices to the north and west of the Afghan border: the Consulate in Kashgar (1882), the Political Agency in Bukhara (1885), the Consulate General in Khorasan (1889) and the Vice-Consulate in Sistan (1900). The aforementioned missions are united by the fact that their duties in addition to the issues related to the host territories, included information gathering about Afghanistan. However, the Afghan aspect of these diplomatic missions’ activities has not yet been reflected in any historical studies. The author has a plan for a thorough study of the issue and this article on the opening of the Russian Consulate General in the Iranian city of Mashhad being the first step on this way. On the basis of this research were the documents of the Foreign Policy Archive of Imperial Russia, the Russian State Historical Archive, as well as the source entitled “Siraj al-Tawarikh” in Dari.

The article analyzes the conditions that ensure a favorable demographic situation, personal and family development in the regions of Russia. In 2020-2021, against the background of COVID-19 statistics, a decline in reproduction rates, a sharp increase in mortality rate, as well as a reduction in life expectancy and the total population is clearly visible. The author pays special attention to the title of the textbook, an indication of the state affiliation and peculiarities of Russian government: with the invariability and independence of administrative laws from state and nationality, the importance of understanding and taking into account the specifics of a particular country to ensure the effective development of its socio-economic system is emphasized. The author highlights the advantages of the peer- reviewed publication over other similar publications, which are the close attention to human resource management, as well as the combination of theoretical and practical material. The implementation of regional population policies should reach a new level since they should contribute to improving the level and quality of life of people and strengthening the institution of the family.

Currently, there is active interaction between the state and the Russian Orthodox Church in the education sector. With the introduction of Article 87 to the Federal Law «On Education in the Russian Federation» religious education gets a new level. The article attempts to examine the legal regulation of religious education, to evaluate its role in the secular school. Perhaps there is a sense, to explore the possibility of making appropriate changes and additions to the local laws and regulations in connection with the regional executive and legislative bodies. We should not forget that education was associated with Orthodoxy in Russia for centuries. For centuries, the Orthodox ideology has been a powerful unifying force, in which the faith is a stable system of values, and Orthodox Christian religion has contributed to the integration of different social forces.

The article examines the demographic and economic potential of organizing a new migration flow from LatinAmerica to Russia. In the context of the demographic crisis in which Russia is located, and the low fertility of Russian women, scientists see the only way to preserve and increase the population of the Russian Federation – migration. However, the quality and level of migration that exists in Russia today is problematic. Migrants from the former Soviet republics form ethnic enclaves, do not want to assimilate, and damage the Russian economy by withdrawing funds outside the Russian Federation. Under these conditions, the author proposes to organize an irrevocable migration from Latin American countries, which will solve the demographic problem by naturalizing Latinos who are mentally close to Russians, and stabilize the Russian economy due to the influx of workers, as well as a significant reduction in money transfers abroad due to the low exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar, and, in this regard, the unattractiveness of Russia as a donor of material resources. At the same time, the organization of this migration flow will “unload” the region. Russia will accept migrants who want to leave their countries that are in political and economic crisis, but whose entry into the territory of neighboring states and the United States is difficult. The organization of this migration flow will also help the Russian Federation to gain geopolitical partners in the problematic region. The author examines all the positive and negative aspects of the organization of this migration flow, presents applied technologies for organizing migration from Latin America. The author uses statistical materials, scientific research data and publications in the media that reflect the content of the studied problems. The material of this article is a project, the organization of which will require further study and significant methodological efforts. The proposed concept of organizing irrevocable migration from Latin American countries can be a way out of the complex crisis that has developed in Russia and in Latin American countries.

Abstract In this chapter, we show how multiplicative components that capture the underlying structures of migration flow tables can be used to inform forecasts of interstate migration in Australia. For our illustration, we decompose 5-year census migration flow tables by state or territory of origin, state or territory of destination, 5-year age group and sex for seven census time periods from 1981–1986 to 2011–2016. The components are described over time and then fitted with time series models to produce holdout sample forecasts of interstate migration with measures of uncertainty. Goodness-of-fit statistics and calibration are then used to identify the best fitting models. The results of this research provide (i) insights into the different migration patterns of an important aspect of subnational population growth in Australia and (ii) potential inputs for standard or multiregional cohort component projection models.
