Biological Potential

For raspberries (Rubus idaeus Focke), one of the most valuable and popular berry crops in Russia, it is important to study the genotypeenvironment interaction. The complex genomic composition of modern varieties of this crop, the modifying influence of climatic growing conditions on the manifestation of variable traits that affect the marketable fruit yield, necessitate an assessment of the varieties available in the collection in order to identify the most optimal ones for specific agrobiological conditions of the region chosen for crop cultivation. During a three-year (2017-2019) study of ten accessions of perpetual and semi- perpetual raspberries of domestic and foreign breeding accumulated at the Krymsk EBS, a branch of VIR, biological features of the phenophases of raspberries seasonal growth and development were observed concerning the following characters: the number of berries; average, minimum and maximum berry weight, as well as the total and marketable yield. The purpose of this work was to select high-tech varieties of perpetual raspberries for commercial plantations in the North Caucasus region of Russia by selecting the optimal ones with a complex of economically important traits, from those available in the VIR collection of plant genetic resources. A quantitative assessment of the influence of the variety genotype, of the conditions of the year of cultivation and their combined effect on the studied characters was carried out using the two-factor analysis of variance. It was shown that varietal characters have the greatest effect on the commercial productivity of the bush (the share of the “variety” factor influence is 68%), while weather conditions influence it to a lesser extent (the share of the “year” factor influence is 7.5%). Generalization and complex analysis of the data obtained in the course of this work showed that a combination of economically important traits was exhibited by the studied varieties ʻBryanskoe Divoʼ, ʻHerculesʼ, ʻNikaʼ and ʻAnteyʼ, which can be recommended for large-scale production trials. The use of the rapid clonal micropropagation of raspberries of perpetual fruiting type makes it possible to obtain a sufficient number of plantlets for laying out industrial variety trials for one to two years after the introduction into the culture, which, as a result, accelerates the introduction of new varieties into production.

The article proposes a methodological approach to potential damage from natural hazards forecasting in case of large-scale investment projects realization in ski tourism planning, as well as to assessing changes in the vulnerability of the territory in which these projects will be implemented. The method was verified on the data of the “Northern Caucasus Resorts” tourist cluster. The study purpose is the creation and verification of a methodology for socio-economic damage predicting in limit values and vulnerability changing in the regions of the “North Caucasus Resorts” tourist cluster objects localization for the long term. Research methods – statistical (a structural approach based on the identification of common structural patterns of several sets). The lack of statistical information on significant parameters for forecasting determine necessitates of using the various logically non-contradictory revaluations based on the identified structural similarities for the calculation of their values within the planning horizon. The study results and main conclusions – in case of the “North Caucasus Resorts” tourist cluster creation the number of people potentially located in avalanche and mudflow danger areas will significantly increase in all of its facilities localization municipalities, which indicate an increase in the individual risk of death level for this territory. The present population in the ski season in some of the most remote and underdeveloped areas can increase up to 30 times. The increment in the value of the fixed assets for the municipalities under consideration will be from two to 90 times, potential damages in limit values will reach tens of billions rubles.

This chapter focuses on the pre-diffusion phases for high-tech products. These phases last from the first time a technology is mastered and demonstrated up to the start of the large-scale production and diffusion of products based on that technology. The purpose of this chapter is to underline the managerial relevance of the pre-diffusion phases. Two questions will be answered in particular: (1) How long do these pre-diffusion phases last for high-tech products? (2) Have these phases shortened or not over the last 150 years? Fifty-three cases of high-tech products, invented between 1837 and 1998, are investigated. The pre-diffusion phases are shown to last 16 years on average, but their length varies considerably per case. No proof for the shortening of these phases over time is found. The resources devoted to research and development in different fields of expertise may have increased but the length of the pre-diffusion phases has not shortened accordingly.

This article examines the possible political and economic effects of large-scale mineral extraction from the seabed. The findings presented indicate that development in new territories may conceivably serve to exacerbate existing conflict dimensions, notably the North/South dimension in global politics. Because of the developed countries' monopoly on know-how and economic capability, exploration and exploitation of the inorganic resources of the ocean floor has de facto been the exclusive domain of these countries. On the basis of this the author shows that if large-scale production of seabed resources should become a reality in the near future, the underdeveloped countries will be forced to watch it from the sidelines. As a consequence, the exploitation of offshore raw materials will probably contribute to the further widening of the gap between developed and underdeveloped countries. Further commenting on the fact that the latter today are the main producers of the most promising seabed resources, the author expresses the view that exploitation will have a detrimental effect on the economics of the Third World countries, since it might lead to overproduction and price reductions.

The article discusses the factors and problems that have a negative impact on the indicators of economic efficiency of the industry and, thus, hinder the sustainable development of rural areas, and also suggests a number of measures to overcome them. The methods of statistical data analysis and the method of aligning time series are used in the work. Large-scale production, on the one hand, entails an increase in labor productivity, and, on the other hand, generates rural unemployment. It was revealed that high-tech methods of agricultural production lead to an increase in the cost of manufactured products, both in a steady increase in prices for energy resources and concentrated feed, which increases the level of risks in the agricultural business. In addition, non-observance of the norms of crop rotation of sunflower crops on the same land plots entails damage to soil fertility. Such a strategic planning system is needed as part of the legal framework of public administration, which would create the conditions for the formation of healthy competition of manufactured products not only domestically, but also on the world market.

Statistical models of the hail forecast are proposed for the two regions of the North Caucasus, developed from the output of the global atmosphere model GFS NCEP. Statistical schemes are obtained as a result of discriminant analysis conducted using statistical software package SPSS. Independent variables in these schemes are the most informative predictors of strong convective cloud development, calculated on the basis of the global GFS model data related to local atmospheric instability and large-scale synoptic processes. Based on the results of the operational audit, the estimates of the success of the hail forecasts according to existing criteria are given, the high values of which assume a reduction in damage from hailstorms, when using them.

Статья посвящена вопросам активизации экономического сотрудничества России и Ирана в целом и Северного Кавказа и Ирана в частности. Экономические отношения России и Ирана в последние годы вновь рассматривается российскими политиками как весьма перспективные и актуальные в контексте геополитических реалий. Цель данной работы состоит в изучении факторов эффективного механизма экономического сотрудничества России, в том числе Северного Кавказа, и Ирана. В настоящем исследовании использованы общенаучные методы познания, а также исторический и статистический методы. История развития российско-иранских отношений наглядно показывает, что в течение без малого трех столетий, начиная с Рештского (1732) и Гянджинского (1735) договоров, взаимосвязь политических и экономических аспектов определяла особенности торгово-экономических отношений России и Ирана, от привилегий беспошлинной торговли русских купцов, займов и концессий царского правительства до масштабных планов двустороннего советско-иранского сотрудничества. Формирование эффективных механизмов экономического сотрудничества России и Ирана предполагает дальнейшую политическую поддержку российско-иранских программ и проектов, совершенствование правовой базы в контексте изменений в таможенном законодательстве, предоставление налоговых преференций участникам совместных российско-иранских проектов и рост эффективности институтов развития российско-иранского сотрудничества. Геостратегический статус Северного Кавказа в рамках Стратегии пространственного развития России до 2025 г. имеет определенный потенциал расширения экономических связей между Россией и Ираном. Перспективы проектов по созданию в Северо-Кавказском федеральном округе совместных российско-иранских предприятий, в частности, по выращиванию и экспорту в Иран зерновой и мясной продукции связаны с соответствующими мерами государственной поддержки. Успешное осуществление мегапроекта Север-Юг также предполагает всемерное использование экономического потенциала Северного Кавказа. The article is devoted to the activation of economic cooperation between Russia and Iran in General, and the North Caucasus and Iran in particular. Economic relations between Russia and Iran in recent years are again considered by Russian politicians as very promising and relevant in the context of geopolitical realities. The purpose of this work is to study the factors of the effective mechanism of economic cooperation between Russia, including the North Caucasus, and Iran. The present study uses General scientific methods of cognition, as well as historical and statistical methods. The history of Russian-Iranian relations clearly shows that for nearly three centuries, starting with the Rasht (1732) and Ganja (1735) treaties, the interrelation of political and economic aspects determined the features of trade and economic relations between Russia and Iran, from the privileges of duty-free trade of Russian merchants, loans and concessions of the tsarist government to large-scale plans of bilateral Soviet-Iranian cooperation. The formation of effective mechanisms for economic cooperation between Russia and Iran involves further political support for RussianIranian programs and projects, improving the legal framework in the context of changes in customs legislation, granting tax preferences to participants in joint Russian-Iranian projects and increasing the effectiveness of institutions for the development of Russian-Iranian cooperation. The geostrategic status of the North Caucasus within the framework of Russias spatial development Strategy until 2025 has a certain potential to expand economic ties between Russia and Iran. The prospects of projects to establish joint Russian-Iranian enterprises in the North Caucasus Federal district, in particular, to grow and export grain and meat products to Iran, are linked to appropriate measures of state support. The successful implementation of the North-South megaproject also implies the full use of the economic potential of the North Caucasus.

The article examines the history of transfers (displacements) of the population during the years of the Caucasian War. Transfers are analyzed in the context of the Russian Empire's policy of establishing military and political control in the region. The article is based on the materials of several federal and regional archives, as well as published historical evidence and research literature. The author concludes that the history of colonization of the North Caucasus, which is widely represented in historiography, needs revision. The history of Russian colonization is a narrative about the adaptation of the Cossacks and peasants to the new conditions of life and interaction with the local population. However, new settlers came to the territories previously occupied by the indigenous population forced to leave them. In this respect, it is the history of transfers that allows us to understand the motives of the imperial administration, the mechanisms of organization of relocations, and the resettlement reflection of the population. Another conclusion of the article is that during the course of the Caucasian War, population transfers became one of the standard mechanisms of the Russian administration, and the large-scale eviction of the Adygs in 1862—1864 was a continuation of this policy.

The focus of this chapter is on the complex developments in the North Caucasus during the time of Revolution and Civil War (1917-1921). If the period of the February and October revolutions was characterized by attempts of the North Caucasian political and religious elite to form a single state entity, the outbreak of civil war brought societal and ethnic cleavages to the fore, undermining common state-building efforts. Caucasians fought on all sides of the front, but most of the North Caucasian Muslims allied themselves with the forces of the Bolsheviks, with whom they shared a common cause: to prevent the re-establishment of the old regime. While the “White” troops under former tsarist General Anton Denikin fought for a Russia “one and united,” the Bolsheviks promised the non-Russian peoples land and freedom. Shortly after the triumph of the Bolsheviks, cracks began to appear in these alliances. By mid-1920, the mountainous parts of Chechnia and Dagestan had been set aflame in a large-scale anti-Bolshevik uprising led Imam Gotsinskii. Only in late 1921 did the Bolsheviks, with assistance from regular units of the Red Army, manage to crush this rebellion and establish military superiority.
