The article deals with the spatial development of the Russian Far East in the context of infrastructure connectivity and migration. The construction of a new railway network, the renovation of highways and the modernization of airports are the most important conditions for the successful functioning of the state, ensuring competitiveness, socio-economic growth and capitalization of territories. The coordinated and progressive development of infrastructure not only contributes to the retention of the local population, but also increases the investment and migration attractiveness of the territories. Taking into account the territorial conditions of Russia-first of all, its length and spatial disproportion-the problems of transport and logistics infrastructure are of particular importance. The conclusions obtained as a result of the study can be used both in strategic planning at the level of macro-regions, and in conducting further research at the national and interregional levels. Keywords: spatial development, territorial planning, migration, The Russian Far East, airfield infrastructure, railway network, regional highways, port facilities.

The article, by means of the comparative-historical method, critical analysis of scholarly concepts, and use of ethnographic materials, deals with the study of the complex of beliefs and rituals of indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East (Nanais, Negidals, Nivkhs, Orochs, Udeges, Uilta, Ulchs, and Evenks) as a sacred component of their traditional and modern hunting and fishing technologies. The term ‘technology’ originates from the Ancient Greek philosophy by the development of the doctrine of ‘techne’ as an art by which things are made. Technology is based on notion and supersedes the role of the chance in human life and activities, which expedites the proc-ess of adaptation to the nature. The ritual preceding production of a tool or a vehicle is performed to improve qual-ity of the item to ensure its more productive use in hunting and fishing. In the culture of indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East, there are known examples of invocation of magic, cults, beliefs, and rituals to secure hunter’s luck in fabrication of hunter carriers, tools for hunting marine and terrestrial animals, and traps. Beliefs and rituals serve as the sacred components of the hunting and fishing technologies, which have the utmost importance for sustainable life of the indigenous population. The main conclusion is that, in spite of some differences in the economy, degree of settlement and mobility, and the level of influence of nonethnic cultures, undoubtedly, the results of hunting, fishing, off-shore seal catching, deer breeding, and foraging depend on personal experience, rational knowledge of the qualities of plants, weather signs, and migration times and habits of animals, and on the quality of the trade equipment, transport, clothes and footwear. However, these aspects are not sufficient and the hunters resort to the sacral components of the hunting and fishing technologies — transport means are ‘enli-vened’, by magic means they are imparted with the qualities of living beings — people or animals. With the help of amulets, the hunters strengthen their trade qualities — agility, perception-reaction time, and intuition. Prohibitions are observed, which are aimed at decreasing dependence on chance and increasing hunting productivity. The rational technologies, aimed at the survivance of the ethnos, are complemented by the sacred components, so that people cling to the help of supernatural powers.

Despite the epidemiological significance of the trematodes Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus suifunensis, these species are insufficiently studied in the Russian Far East. In this work, we compare various nuclear and mitochondrial markers used for population genetic studies, based on previously published articles, as well as new data on the nad1 mtDNA gene obtained for M. suifunensis. Even such conservative markers as the ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 rDNA region and the cox1 mtDNA gene are suitable for the analysis of genetic variability in the C. sinensis population, while more variable mtDNA genes must be used to assess the population structure of M. suifunensis. However, the level of variability is not the only determining factor when choosing a marker. The nad1 mtDNA gene did not reveal patterns within the M. suifunensis population, like the cox1 gene, while the mtDNA cytb gene, with lower variability indices, showed a geographical subdivision and migration ways for individuals of the species.

The article presents the results of a sociological study of the problems of regional spatial development of the regions of the Siberian Federal district (SFD). There are the materials of the survey of residents of four regions of the SFD are analyzed, the socio-demographic and socio-economic situation in Western and Eastern Siberia is compared, and the opinions and assessments of the population of the main socio-economic indicators of regional development are considered; General and special in the social self-feeling, demographic and migration situation, lifestyle of the population of Western and Eastern Siberia. The research was carried out under the project “Modeling scenarios of spatial development of Siberia and the Russian Far East until 2030: features of the settlement system”, which won the RFBR competition. The main goal is to assess the current state of the resettlement system, develop strategic prospects and model alternative scenarios for the spatial development of the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Based on the author's development of an empirical research model, a survey of respondents living in four Siberian regions was conducted in August 2019. The results of the survey allowed us to identify differences in migration preferences, a number of features of the economic potential and quality of infrastructure and social sphere.

Russia faces an acute demographic crisis and labor shortage, and this crisis is most evident in the Russian Far East (RFE). Migration from within Russia and immigration from foreign sources are one potential solution to this crisis. This paper examines the history of migration to the RFE and addresses the questions of where the necessary additional migrants or immigrants might come from and what political, cultural and economic structures might be most effective in mitigating the existing demographic situation.

The purpose of the article is to identify the features and problems of spatial development of the regions of the North of the Russian Far East. The research was carried out under the project “Modeling the spatial development scenarios of Siberia and the Far East of Russia until 2030: features of the resettlement system” (RFBR grant No. 19-010-00836 A), which won the RFBR competition “Fundamental Scientific Research Projects”. The study is being conducted by the team of the Department of Geourbanistics & Spatial Development of ISPR FCTAS RAS since 2019 and is intended to last for three years. The main goal is to assess the current state of the resettlement system, develop strategic prospects and model alternative scenarios for the spatial development of the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. A key feature is the use of interdisciplinary methods based on a combination of economic, mathematical, sociological, statistical and scenario approaches to research. From a practical point of view, the project results will help to plan more rationally the spatial development the spatial development of the country’s regions. The analysis shows that the sociological methods of spatial research have large reserves but are not yet used to the full capacity. This article discusses the current problems of spatial development of the north of the Russian Far East. On the basis of the authors’ development of the empirical research model by a group of scientists of ISPR FCTAS RAS, in August 2019, the survey of respondents of the Kamchatka Krai, the Magadan Oblast` and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug was conducted. The results of the opinion poll made it possible to identify differences in migration preferences, a number of features of the economic potential capacity and the quality of infrastructure, and the social sphere of the Far Eastern regions of the country.

The article explores Vladimir Arsen’ev’s rationalization of the economic activities that he observed during expeditions in the Russian Far East, predominantly in the Ussuri region. It analyzes his categorization of the local population, which was derived from nonmatching taxonomies and included concepts such as nationality, religion, race, and subjecthood. Disentangling this categorization helps to outline the main contexts that influenced Arsen’ev, such as postwar political and military concerns, challenges of settler colonialism, and nationalizing empire. The article shows how Arsen’ev’s intertwined life experiences as a military officer and geographer, colonization official, ethnographer, and resource-conscious naturalist outlined the limits of his imagination and provided the ground for his intellectual innovations.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.
