An assessment of the attractiveness of the regions of the country for retailers, incl. retail trade. The geographical structure of the largest retail trade network has been revealed. The dominance of individual retail chains in the segments of the sale of goods was determined. It has been established that the most developed regions in terms of trade are the largest cities and districts in terms of population and turnover. The modern trend of geographical expansion of trade networks in small and medium-sized regions of Belarus was noted.

Materials and methods. Materials of 13 scientific works were used. Methods of calcu­lation of relative and average values were used to determine the price positioning of retail chains; comparison and grouping were used to systematize price promotions and loyalty programs; logical method was used to formulate conclusions about the peculiarities of marketing pricing of retail chains.

On the territory of the Republic of Buryatia, the epizootological profile is formed by 8 nosological forms of infectious pathology of farm animals. The dominant epizootic significance is rabies, leptospirosis, brucellosis. Rabies was registered in 8 (38.1 %) rural administrative districts of the republic and in the urban district of Ulan-Ude. In the total number of cases of rabies, the disease of farm animals occupies 48.3%, domestic carnivores-3.9, and in 47.6% of cases, epizootic foci began among wild animals. The main reservoir of the rabies virus is the wild fox: 46.2 % in the total number of cases and 97.1 % - in autochthonous epizootic foci. Leptospirosis in the conditions of Buryatia is an indigenous natural focal infection with a pronounced indicator of epizootic manifestation in the form of infection of animals without clinical signs. It is registered in 11 (52.4 %) rural administrative districts of the republic in 1.5 % of cattle and 0.6% of horses. The unfavorable situation with bovine brucellosis persisted from 2009 to 2018, 26 unfavorable points were registered. In the Jida district, 5 km from the state border with Mongolia, brucellosis was first registered in a dog. In this area, the corridor of migration of wild animals across the border passes, which confirms the assumption of the existence of natural foci of brucellosis in the transboundary territories of Russia and Mongolia and the introduction of the pathogen from the natural focus to the territory of the buffer zone farms.

The article is dealing with the issues of state regulation of the consumer market, where the interests of producers, wholesale intermediaries, and retail trade are traditionally encountered. The authors consider the features of state regulation of the formation and development processes of multi-object and omnichannel trading systems in Russia in the context of the country's entry into the global economy, the opening of the domestic market for foreign business structures, and commodity imports in a situation with a small business that is not fully established. The results of the conducted study complement the experience of the international community in regulating system formation in trade. The article analyzes significant differences in the state intervention mechanisms in the economic relations of retail chains and their suppliers, as well as the impact of stricter legislation on wholesale trade, and its place and role in the commodity distribution system. The authors prove that excessive regulation of the retail market causes negative consequences in its adjacent segments, justify the upcoming redistribution of the market between large retail chains and specialized wholesale companies in favor of the former ones, show the development prospects of the distribution, and the impact of this process on small retail businesses, as well as formulate proposals for optimizing approaches to regulating the transformation of the trade sector in the transition economy.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine new rules of exchange in retailer‐supplier relationships imposed by the retail chains, to analyse factors facilitating this institutional change and to reveal the links between channel power and relational conflicts.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected from 500 managers of retail chains and their suppliers in five Russian cities. The sample includes firms of different sizes that sell food and home electronic appliances. After the diffusion of new contract arrangements is examined, logistic regression models are constructed to evaluate major sources of relational conflicts.FindingsThe findings indicate that power‐advantaged firms disseminate new rules of exchange effectively. However, relational conflicts largely originate not from these new demands but from the frequent contract infringements by both exchange parties.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is confined to two sectors of retail trade in one country. Further research is required to determine the effects on channel relationships of the financial crisis and of the adoption of restrictive federal legislation.Practical implicationsPractitioners should recognise the need to provide socio‐political legitimacy for the new rules of exchange. Otherwise, they may face relational conflicts and provoke restrictive state regulations. Public officials should know that relational conflicts may originate largely from opportunistic behaviour by exchange parties rather than from abuse of market power.Originality/valueThis paper presents the first systematic quantitative study of retailer‐supplier relationships in Russia. It investigates institutional change and relational conflicts as perceived by both exchange parties.

The blood donorship is an integral part of modern medicine. Nowadays, it is very important to develop gratuitous and regular donorship and formation in population, especially in the youth, deliberate attitude to donorship and revival of noble traditions of charity, humanism and moral values. The article presents analysis of regional characteristics of dynamics of blood donorship in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The condition of annually increasing need in blood and its preparations creates a necessity in studying means of incoming of blood to the blood service. The analysis of reports concerning functioning of blood service in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan demonstrated that during 2012-2015 percentage of gratuitous donations increased from 47.7% to 54.9%. The percentage of donations of donors-relatives decreased from 36.4% to 34.5% and paid donations decreased from 15.9% to 10.8% as well. The obtained data testifies that in regions of the country nowadays a main impulsive cause for participating in blood donorship is gratuitous support of patients.
