Today in Russia there is a search for a new model of socio-economic development that could replace the raw material economy. The search problem is complicated by the fact that raw materials continue to be considered as the main resource in trade with other countries. Effective use of all types of resources that our country possesses could become an alternative in this situation. Studying the historical experience of using the resource model of socio-economic development may become one of the grounds for developing an optimal model for further socio-economic development of many Russian regions. This is especially true for regions that have historically developed and developed as mono-industry. The basis of the socio-economic development of Karelia, especially in the twentieth century, was the development of the timber industry sectors. This feature was supplemented by the fact that in the period from 1940 to 1956. Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region had the status of a union republic. The combination of these two factors became the basis of the accelerated socio-economic development of the republic in the first post-war years. The basis of the socio-economic development of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region, especially in the 20th century, was the development of the timber industry sectors. As part of the interaction between the Center and the region, resources were exchanged. Receiving Karelian wood, the state provided the republic with financial and human resources, contributed to the formation and development of production and social infrastructure. As the main resource of Karelia, the forest in which the state was originally interested, was gradually exhausted, the resource potential of the region gradually decreased in various ways compared to other regions of the Northwest of Russia.

Introduction. The development of industry in the economic history of Russia often became one of the main factors in the activation of modernization processes. Moreover, during the periods of modernization breakthroughs, the most developed and vital sectors for the state developed most actively. These include the development of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, the coal and oil industries, etc. It is important to understand how the development of a particular industrial sector influenced the development of modernization processes in Russian regions. The study of regional specifics makes it possible to more thoroughly reveal the features of the implementation of Russian modernization processes, since only macro trends can be traced at the national level. The timber industry complex (TIC) is always an important element of the Soviet and then the Russian economy. Karelia during the second half of the twentieth century developed as a single-industry region with a predominant development of the timber industry sectors. As a result, the timber industry complex became an instrument for implementing modernization processes in the republic, which could not but affect the state and development of the region’s resource potential. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the analysis of mainly statistical materials reflecting the influence of the timber industry sectors on the development of regional modernization processes. Studying the regional features of the socio-economic development of Karelia as a single-industry region allows us to identify the features of modernization in certain regions of Russia, in which the development of the timber industry sectors has become the basis of economic development. In the research process, historical-systemic, historical-dynamic, historical-comparative, historical-genetic were used. Results. In the course of the analysis of statistical data on Karelia, the main trends in the production, socio-infrastructural and demographic development of the republic were identified under the influence of the development of the timber industry sectors. The main reasons that led to a gradual decrease in indicators of socio-economic development were identified. It was shown that the common cause of the decrease in the resource potential of Karelia was the preservation for decades of a one-sided orientation towards the development of mainly the timber industry sectors. Discussion and Conclusion. During the period under review, Karelia was formed as a single-industry region with a predominant development of the timber industry sectors, which directly affected the success of the modernization processes in the republic. Outlined since the mid-1960s a decline in the development of the timber industry sectors of the republic led to a decrease in timber production, a general decline in industrial production, poorly developed sectors for the production of consumer goods, and a lack of developed social infrastructure.

Abstract The historical roots and geographical features of the population’ formation in the Tyva Republic during the period from the Hunnu domination to the voluntary incorporation of Tyva into the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR) in 1944 have been studied. The formation of the population occurred in conditions of peripherality of the considered object in relation to the state entities, which it was a part of or was under their influence in different periods of its development. The formation of the Tuvan ethnos was completed during the period when the Tyva tribes were part of Manchurian China in the late 18th-19th centuries. An important factor in this process was the establishment of an administrative division based not on clan but on a territorial principle. The economic and geographical position of the region, as one of the determinants of the socio-economic development of Tyva and the further formation of its population, was and still is unfavourable, which predetermines the search for foundations for the spatial development of the republic.

Introduction. The article examines the processes of transformation of the institutional environment of the regional timber industry enterprises in Karelia in the 1990s. The aim of the study was to identify the impact of this transformation at the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region with the predominant development of the branches of the timber industry. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the use of a predominantly institutional approach. Its application makes it possible to trace the changes that occurred in the structure of the institutional environment of regional timber industry enterprises with the beginning of market transformations in the 1990-ies, as well as the degree of effectiveness of the interaction of this enterprise with various economic entities. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the changes that took place in the first post-Soviet decade in the institutional environment of regional timber industry showed a number of negative aspects. First of all, the role of the state greatly reduced, which was unable to form effective “rules of the game” for the timber economy. The Forest Code adopted in 1997 infringed upon the rights of Karelia as a subject of the Federation, since only a part of the forests could be transferred to the ownership of the Republic. In the current difficult conditions, with the absence of the party and state control departments, and the difficult financial situation of the region, the role of regional authorities in solving the problems of forestry enterprises increased. In the context of spontaneous privatization and the collapse of the financial system, timber industry enterprises faced numerous problems of interaction with suppliers, customers, consumers and banks. This period was the time of the strengthening of the role of foreign companies in the work of timber enterprises. Unfortunately, having received a controlling stake in a number of domestic enterprises, foreign entrepreneurs were in no hurry to invest in their development. Conclusion. The transformations that took place in the institutional environment of the regional forestry enterprises in the 1990-ies negatively affected the level of the socio-economic development of Finno-Ugric region, based on the development of branches of the timber industry complex.

Abstract The complexity of the reality studied by geographical research requires applying such methods which allow describing the state of affairs and ongoing changes in the best possible way. This study aims to present a model of research on selected aspects of the dynamics and structure of socio-economic development. The idea was to determine whether we deal with the process of reducing or widening the differences in terms of individual features. The article primarily pursues a methodological goal, and to a lesser extent an empirical one. The methodological objective of the paper was to propose and verify a multi-aspect approach to the study of development processes. The analyses carried out reveal that in terms of the features taken into account in the set of 24 of the largest Polish cities the dominating processes are those increasing differences between cities, which are unfavourable in the context of the adopted development policies aiming at reducing the existing disparities. In relation to the methodological objective, the results of the conducted research confirm the rationale of the application of the measures of dynamics and the feature variance to determine the character (dynamics and structure) of the socio-economic development process of cities. Comparatively less effective, especially for interpretation, is the application of principal component analysis and a multivariate classification, which is mainly the result of differences in the variance of particular features.

The paper deals with the methodology and practice of the state regulation of the regional economy based on the legislative framework and works of Russian scientists in the historical context with account for the specifics of the current period of market transformation. The subject of research is organizational and economic relations, aimed at improving the management efficiency of regional socio-economic development. The purpose of research was to identify the key problems of the regional economy regulation preventing the balanced functioning of administrative-territorial entities and substantiate the need to boost measures of state support. Based on the dialectical cognition method and the system approach, the positions of leading scientists and scientific schools on topical issues of the regional economy as a scientific discipline were analyzed, which made it possible to identify the main reasons hampering socio-economic transformations and justify measures for running a more active regional policy. It is concluded that consistent improvement of methodological and organizational approaches creates prerequisites for improving the results of the socio-economic development at the regional level; however, in the current situation of the macroeconomic instability serious problems may arise to be resolved primarily by the state regulation.
