ABSTRACTOver a period of 70 years, the lifestyles and belief systems of indigenous Siberian peoples were transformed by Soviet policy, based on the idea of assimilation and homogenisation of the peoples in its territory, in compliance with the idea of a ‘people's friendship’. The fall of the Soviet Union has given people the opportunity to rebuild their identity, as well as to provide a means of cultural revival for each ethnic community. The case study of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in northern Siberia shows a new relationship, already started during perestroika and developing between the Russian Federation and its peoples. This relationship favours the development of each people's culture within the broader context of their integration into Russian society. The issue of the instrumentalisation of indigenous peoples’ cultural and religious heritage is part of a broader picture of a global affirmation of peoples’ indigenousness. The identification of ethnic Sakha (Yakuts) with other northern peoples is a means of entering the international political arena, pushing far away the geopolitical and cultural boundaries imposed by the Russian Federation and highlighting the idea of a circumpolar civilisation.

Corporate governance issues are especially important in transition economies, since these countries do not have the long-established financial institution infrastructure to deal with corporate governance issues. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was no need to discuss corporate governance issues because all enterprises were owned by the state and there were no shareholders. All that has changed since 1989. This paper discusses the view on corporate governance in some transition economies. Highly limited knowledge on executive pay in (post)transition economies creates demand for research in this filed; this paper explores executive compensation structure in Croatia. The research was conducted among Croatian public limited companies during December 2010 through February 2011 at a response rate of 18,44%. Paper also covers specificities of the development of the corporate governance structures and practices in the Republic of Macedonia.

The aim of this paper is to consider the important factors in the disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (hereinafter SFRY) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (hereinafter USSR). The basic assumption is that there is a certain correlation, i.e., similarities and differences between the two processes. During the research of this question, standard methods were applied, such as analysis, synthesis, the historical method, comparative method, and the content analysis method, and in a sense, modeling or searching for a way to avoid the problems our country has faced over the past decades. Research has shown that this topic is still important for at least three reasons. First, it is obvious that the breakup of the SFRY and the USSR caused significant and multifarious problems in those countries, their successors, and beyond. Secondly, the security of these regions is still unstable and almost none of the problems that led to the conflicts of the 1990s and the disintegration of these countries have been completely resolved. Third, the Republic of Serbia and the Russian Federation, the main successors of the two countries, continue to experience risks and threats to their international position, defense, and security. Although the research showed that there is a certain correlation between the two processes - the disintegration of the SFRY and the USSR, it is obvious that this was not the key factor that led to the destruction of these two complex states, but that in both cases certain specific factors were decisive.

In science and practice, there is an increased interest in considering the organisation of work with gifted children. Serious attention is paid to the identifi cation of gifted and talented children and the content of the work on the development of their abilities at different levels of education. Many countries have accumulated their own unique experience in working with such a non-standard category. It is interesting to compare the content and features of social and pedagogical work with gifted children in Russia and in the former republics of the Soviet Union. The Republic of Kazakhstan over the years of post-Soviet existence has accumulated serious experience with this non-standard categories of children, both in school and additional education. This circumstance allowed us to conduct a comparative analysis of the experience of socio-pedagogic work with gifted pupils in Russia and Kazakhstan and try to identify the features of socio-pedagogic work with gifted pupils in this direction. In the course of the empirical study, a survey was conducted of pedagogues of General education organisations of the Russian Federation (n=132), pedagogues of additional education organisations (n=66), pedagogues and specialists of SIRIUS educational centre in Sochi (n=27); educational organisations of Kazakhstan (n=200). On the basis of the conducted research we have identifi ed the features of social and pedagogic work with gifted children in educational institutions of various types in the territory of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Historical Necessity

The formation of the USSR five years after the October Revolution followed not only from internal needs, but also from the idea of “dialectical transition” of the feudal-capitalist component of the Russian empire’s heritage to the socialist form. The USSR formation also had a more ambitious goal: The Soviet Union was expected to become the first experience of creating the “world workers and peasants union” (V.I. Lenin). First of all, this experience was gained in the agri­cultural sphere – the dominant sector of the country’s economy. In this regard, the main scientific problem of this article is the philosophical and historical un­derstanding of the methods invented by the Bolsheviks during the war commu­nism policy period in 1918–1921 to form a new sense of agrarian life adequate to the future “world USSR”. After a short break of NEP the experience gained in the agrarian sphere was used during the forcible сollectivization in the Russian Federation and in the territories of the former Russian Empire annexed to it for internationalist purposes. The article analyzes in detail the political and ideologi­cal reasons of the Bolshevik’s activities solving the agrarian question during the periods of “war communism” and collectivization, the legal basis they had de­veloped for this issue, the successive elimination of the peasant cooperation as a self-organization of active people, the idea of historical necessity and the com­munist practicability of the overall labor obligation and the effectiveness of forced labor, as well as the consequences of these measures: the terrible famine of 1920–1921 and the armed resistance of the peasantry to the agrarian policy of the Bolsheviks.

Subject. This article explores the main points of the theory of financial management, developed within the framework of the Western general theory of finance, and the theory of financial management developed in the Soviet Union. Objectives. The article aims to substantiate an idea that these theories are complementary, and their harmonious application can help build the most effective system of financial relations management at both the macro-and microeconomic levels. Methods. For the study, I used a dialectical approach and the methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, and historical analysis. Results. The article substantiates the point that the methodology of Western financial management theory is aimed at managing external financial flows and combating external financial risks. It notes that the Soviet theory regulates methods and techniques of financial management within the business entity or the State. Conclusions. Theoretical updating of the Soviet practices of financial management combined with the modern achievements of financial management theory will create conditions for the formation of an optimal financial management structure at both the micro-and macroeconomic levels. This can improve the efficiency of financial management, in general. Renewed interest in the theoretical developments of the Soviet Union will contribute to the development of financial science at the present stage.
