Currently, reindeer husbandry actively uses tracking technologies to identify animals. They allow solving the problems of breeding and zootechnical accounting, tracking the movement of animals between herds, and carrying out antiepizootic measures. The electronic databases with individual characteristics of reindeer formed in this process allow speeding up the breeding process, organising breeding work in rein-deer breeding, improving the breed and regulating the herd. Keeping an electronic “registration” of calves to their mothers gives the possibility of system functioning of cross-breeding estimation of animals that will undoubtedly increase both productivity and economic efficiency of reindeer breeding as a whole. This article addresses an issue related to reindeer tracking technologies. Attention is paid to radio tracking and satellite tracking techniques. The use of modern methods of chipping animals is considered on the example of various territories of the Russian Federation: the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Trans-Baikal Krai, the Murmansk Oblast, the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Republic of Karelia, the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The work carried out on deer chipping is considered for various time periods, during which monitoring, programs, projects and other large-scale studies of animal movement paths were carried out. The resulting data can then be processed using mathematical tools, after which conclusions can be drawn about the impact of the environment on reindeer migration routes.

The formation of large urban agglomerations makes possible to ensure more rational use of productive resources and increase labor productivity. Large cities, as a rule, have developed infrastructure and educational sector. However, there is a difficult ecological situation in many large cities. With a large scale of the city, transport accessibility is seriously complicated. From the viewpoint of favorable habitat, good ecological conditions, small and medium-sized cities often benefit from urban agglomerations. In the Russian Federation, due to the dominance of raw materials industries and the underdevelopment of local industry, small and medium-sized cities are in decline. This predetermines the need to develop special measures to support such territorial entities. The study is based on the generalization of data on the change in the ecological situation in large cities and the impact of atmospheric air pollution on the quality of life of the population. In the framework of the study, the conclusion was substantiated about the expediency of carrying out special measures aimed at improving the ecological situation in large cities and developing measures to support small and medium-sized cities. The recommendations for stimulating the development of production in small and medium-sized cities are grounded. The results of the study can find applications in the practice of regional management.

The paper examines the social and economic aspects of integrating the Republic of Crimea into the Russian Federation. This study is making a new contribution to sociology, as it brings together social and economic statistics and studies of the population’s perception of the impact that the new region’s integration has had on Russian society (conducted as an online survey). We analyze the population’s quality of life indices: average per capita income, expense structure, and minimum wage. The study allows us to conclude that the region is falling far behind the national average per capita income, as well as the relevant figures in most other regions of the Southern Federal District. In order to provide a counterpoint to these statistics regarding Russians’ opinion on the consequences of the Republic of Crimea joining the country, we conducted a sociological online survey (n=1012) among both Crimean inhabitants and people living elsewhere in Russia. The survey shows that the evaluation of the peninsula’s integration into Russia is mostly positive (72%) and neutral (18%), and that a lot of Russians, even though they may never have even visited Crimea, show great concern regarding the region’s social and economic issues, such as the condition of its infrastructure, local tourism, banking and loan restrictions, etc.

The article reveals the historiographical approach of Transnistrian separatism in the works of pro-separatist authors, Russian and those publicized in the Eastern part of the Republic of Moldova. The author presents the works that appeared until 2005. As it is ascertained, researchers dwell upon the Transnistrian separatism problem from the position of the environment they were rooted in, projecting their research results on the present and the future, or out of the need to aliment and decode their identity, to feed their imagination. The pro-separatist historiography includes the same ideas regarding the MSSR history. This means nothing but “the translation” of the past into present or the mechanic and passionate protection of the present into the past, the positive or negative capitalization of historical events, or decline in the run of deformation and fabrication in pro-separatist historiography was produced due to an ideological approach of the Transnistrian problem. Albeit, generally speaking, all authors both from Transnistria and the Russian Federation recognize the impact of the Russian Federation in generating and perpetuating the Transnistrian separatism.

The article considers the dynamics and structure of foreign trade of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Serbia, as well as the impact of tariff preferences on foreign trade between two countries. The analysed measures were: dynamics of the Russian Federation’s exports to the Republic of Serbia, dynamics of the Russian Federation’s imports from the Republic of Serbia, tariff preferences applied between countries. The article provides statistical data on the dynamics and structure of foreign trade of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Serbia for 2010–2019 and their dependence on the application of tariff preferences, as well as indicators of trade between the EAEU and the EAEU member states with the Republic of Serbia for 2017–2019. The paper analyses the possible directions of Serbia’s participation in the EAEU and the European Union, assesses the benefits of creating a free trade zone between the EAEU and Serbia, as well as the costs of Serbia’s integration into the European Union. The importance of tariff preferences in the development of foreign trade relations between Russia and Serbia is shown.

The first in Russia large-scale study on the impact of hunting on wader populations was carried out in Kamchatka in 2019. The main research method was anonymous hunters questioning. In Kamchatka Krai, about 3.400 hunters take part in the wader hunt. Of the 402 hunters, who participated in the anonymous questioning, 55 % were hunting Whimbrels in the current season; 9 %, other large and medium-size wader species; 14 %, smaller waders. The total of about 45.000 waders are shot annually in Kamchatka, including 37.000 Whimbrels 1.600 waders of other large species, and 6 thousand waders of smaller species. From the species listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation, up to 20 Oystercatchers, 100 Far Eastern Curlews, 200 Bar-tailed Godwits, 300 Grater Knots, and 100 Red Knots are shot. Hunting smaller waders is not popular, but it causes the death of up to 12.000 thousand smaller waders, with Spoon-billed Sandpiper also occasionally killed. Special educational activities for hunters and hunting officers are required for conservation of wader populations included in the Red Data Books of the Russian Federation; first, a special field guide of waders in the Far East should be published. It is also necessary to restore the Moroshechnaya River sanctuary reserve, liquidated in 2009 yet included in the official list of areas of international importance for waders on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

The environmental legislation of the Russian Federation does not fully regulate the impact on the environment during the creation and operation of rocket and space technology. The impact of carrier rockets launches on the environment is currently not standardized: there is no payment for negative environmental impact, there are no impact regulations. The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for environmental monitoring of spaceports and rocket stages drop zones. The commissioning of the Vostochny Cosmodrome requires solving the accumulated problems on environmental management issues in the implementation of rocket and space activities. Additional difficulties arise during the operation of the Baikonur Cosmodrome located on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan due to differences in approaches to the environmental management in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. The analysis of the regulatory acts of the two states in terms of applicability to the rocket and space activities has shown that the improvement of the regulation of this type of anthropogenic impact on the environment is easier to implement within the Kazakhstan legislation. It would be advisable to have uniform requirements for space complexes in their development and operation within the environmental legislation of the CIS member states.

Introduction. The solution to the problem of ensuring demographic growth is one of the most pressing issues of the state policy. In 2007, Russia’s demographic policy was supplemented by new measures to stimulate the birth rate. The objective of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the demographic policy programs aimed at supporting families and natality using the case studies of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan. Materials and Methods. To identify the impact of measures to stimulate the birth rate, the method of regression analysis was used; time series based on age-specific birth rates for each age group were presented. Results. The data obtained showed that the steady trend of increasing the total fertility rate in Russia and Tatarstan since 2007 was almost completely related to the meas- ures under consideration, whereas the number of births was affected by many other factors. According to the results of the study, the impact of measures to increase the birth rate in the Republic of Tatarstan is slightly higher than in Russia as a whole. Discussion and Conclusions. State support measures reduce the costs associated with the birth of a child and can encourage women to have children, which con- firms the hypothesis of the positive impact of the state fertility policy. For a more accurate assessment of the effectiveness of the demographic policy measures, it is advisable to take into account the changing social and economic conditions of life in a region, as well as the consequences of the earlier or present-day demographic policy measures. The results of the study are of practical importance and may be used in the development of demographic policies in the country and in the region.

Modern conditions for combating crime put forward increased demands on law enforcement officers of the Russian Federation. These requirements include both a high physical and moral resource, as well as intellectual potential, ensuring the successful fight against crime. An analysis of the law enforcement practice of counteracting extremist organizations and groups indicates that unobvious crimes are in most cases difficult to identify and investigate. The reason for this is the lack of orienting information, primary signs of a crime, evidence, etc. The article discusses the history of the origin of the extremist organization Jehovah’s Witnesses, their activities in the post-Soviet space, and the experience of countering the USSR State Security Committee. The contemporary activities of an extremist organization on the territory of the Russian Federation are characterized. The ideology, norms of behavior, the organization’s financing system are analyzed. The consequences of the impact on the consciousness of adepts, the anti-state nature of activity are determined. The legal mechanism of counteracting the activities of extremist organizations is characterized. The features of the activities of the extremist organization Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Republic of Crimea are examined, and law enforcement practice is analyzed. The factors hindering the identification and documentation of the activities of extremist organizations are identified. Ways and methods of detecting, preventing, combating and solving crimes related to the activities of extremist organizations are identified.

The multi-sport event Spartakiad among the teams of Suvorov, presidential cadet, Nakhimov, cadet and Cossack corps has been held by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation since 2011. Such competitions are intended for familiarization of students with regular sport activities, improvement of their physical conditioning, and formation of military-applied skills. Therefore, such events should be part of the continuing professional military education, fulfilling the tasks of physical training of military schools students of pre-university education. The empirical methods of research allowed the authors to examine the protocols of swimming competitions held within the framework of the Spartakiad of public educational establishments of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, analyze the dynamics of attendance by the students of Orenburg Presidential Cadet School of swimming sports classes, reveal the motives for attending such classes by cadets along with the reasons for termination of regular training sessions. The article reflects the motivational aspects of sports activities among the students of different ages, and the degree of impact of competitive activity upon the attendance of sports classes. The acquired results demonstrate the annual increase in the sports skills of the Spartakiad participants of pre-university educational establishments of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; at the same time, the inclusion of competitions into the plan of sport events of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and their consistency did not affect the large-scale participation in sports activities among students. The question of formation of strong motivation for intense sports activities among students of public specialized military schools as a stage of continuing education requires further search for the ways to improve the structure of physical training in military schools.
