Subject. Considering the existing environmental situation, it becomes especially important for the State to regulate the anthropogenic footprint on the environment in the Russian Federation. Current amendments to the legislative framework for environmental security are intended to ensure the innovative development of regions concurrently with a reduction in adverse environmental effects and more active environmental policy. Objectives. The research is to devise methodological tools to evaluate the efficiency of environmental policy in regions. Methods. The research employs qualitative and quantitative methods of economic analysis, including statistical and content analysis, rating, matrix zoning. The dataset proceeds from the Federal State Statistics Service, governmental reports on the current environmental situation and environmental protection in the Russian Federation. Results. We propose our own approach to evaluating the efficiency of environmental policy. It may help trace the correlation between the quality of strategic documents and changes in environmental indicators for a certain period, flag the challenging areas in terms of the environmental policy implementation and outline possible development paths. The approach extends the list of quantification indicators in line with those ones adopted internationally and presented in the Environmental Security Strategy of the Russian Federation up to 2025. We evaluated the efficiency of the environmental policy referring to the regions of the Northwestern Federal District for the period from 2012–2016. Conclusions. Having analyzed the evaluation results, most of the Northwestern regions tend to be controversial and ambivalent in setting environmental goals and achieving them. The findings may prove useful as the analytical and data basis for articulating the environmental and economic policy of the regions.

This article provides a classification and characteristics of persons convicted for crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking. The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

AbstractRapakivi granites were in use during the Middle Ages in Finland. Their most spectacular use, however, was for structures built in St Petersburg between 1760 and 1917. Remarkable examples are the majestic and slender Alexander Column and the 112 columns of St Isaac's Cathedral. All Rapakivi granite was extracted from the Wiborg Rapakivi granite batholith in several quarries around the municipality of Virolahti in SE Finland (old Russia). Today, the 1640 Ma-old Wiborg batholith is the most important area for natural stone production in Finland and in the Leningrad region, Russian Federation. The main quarried stone varieties of Rapakivi granite (Baltic Brown, Baltic Green, Carmen Red, Karelia Red, Eagle Red and Balmoral Red) are regularly produced in large quantities in Finland for the global stone market due to the stone's unique qualities. Examples of applications in Rapakivi granite from Finland can be found in the USA, China, South Africa, the UK, Italy, Austria, Ireland, Spain and Germany as well as in Scandinavia and Russia. There are also quarries near Vyborg, the Russian Federation: Vozrozhdenie and Ala-Noskua.

The problem of sustainable management of municipal solid waste at the legal and organizational levels both in the Russian Federation and in the world is now coming to the fore and requires immediate solutions. After analyzing the documents of strategic planning and other normative legal acts, the authors of the article attempt to consider current legal problems in the field under study in an interesting aspect of the modern state environmental policy of Russia, which implements the UN sustainable development goals in the environmental direction. The authors make judgments that a successful environmental policy aimed at achieving the UN sustainable development goals in the field of waste management and production is possible only if a systematic approach to the implementation of environmental legislation is implemented and should be based on the principles of efficiency, expediency, and others. In conclusion, a number of conclusions are drawn about the legal acts adopted in the Russian Federation and the organizational measures implemented to help solve various problems related to the sustainable development of the most important segment of the economy and the environment – waste disposal and recycling, reducing their volume and the possibility of secondary use.

Introduction the aim of the study. The implementation of risk-oriented model organization of the control and supervision activities of Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing with the assessment system of potential dangerous objects requires the creation of multiannual reliable database about the occupational working conditions which must include results of the production control for enterprises of all industries of the national economics of the Russian Federation. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of the use of the production control (PC) results of working conditions for the provision of sanitary - epidemiological wellbeing of the population. Material and methods. The study was conducted on materials of Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing on the Leningrad region, Petrostat for 2009-2012. In analysis there were included software and PC results of working conditions in 420 industrial enterprises of various branches of the Leningrad region industry. To develop a regional model of PC program planning based on critical control points there was chosen the major refinery in the Leningrad region - Limited Liability Company “Production Association” Kirishinefteorgsintez “(LLC “PA “KINEF”). 3960 protocols of laboratory and instrumental investigation results of working conditions were made for the purpose of PC control on LLC “PA “Kinef” and 1921 protocols of PC results - on 420 industrial enterprises of the Leningrad region were analyzed. Results. The performed analysis revealed a number of problems to the application of PC results for the aim of working conditions optimization of employees, planning disease prevention program and the assessment of object’s sanitary-hygienic wellbeing. The method of critical control points (CCPs) in the planning of PC programs on the large industrial enterprises is proposed to use. On the example of “Kinef” there was shown the efficiency of the use of CCPs in order to optimize the PC programs. There was developed and implemented the regional model of the use of PC programs which allows to solve the problem of the significant increase of preventive orientation and efficiency of PC program at enterprises of all sectors of the national economy of the Russian Federation as an important element of the management of sanitary - epidemiological population wellbeing regarding to the maintenance of healthy and safe working conditions. Conclusions. Existing legal regulatory and methodological framework regulating the organization and performance of PC control and social - hygienic monitoring in the Russian Federation requires significant changes and additions what allow to increase the reliability of the objects classification on groups of sanitary-epidemiological wellbeing and to realize a risk-oriented approach to control and oversight activities.

Introduction: Extensive measures are taken in the Russian Federation to reduce cancer incidence and mortality in the population but the proportion of incident cases in advanced stages is still large while correct registration of deaths and diseases remains a challenge. Our objectives were to study the incidence of malignant neoplasms in the Leningrad Region, to establish territories at risk, and to analyze carcinogenic risk factors associated with environmental conditions in these territories. Materials and methods: We used data of the Federal Statistical Observation Forms No. 7 “Information on Malignant Neoplasms”, No. 12 “Information on the Number of Diseases Registered in Patients Living in the Service Area of a Medical Organization”, No. 18 “Information on the Sanitary Condition of the Subject of the Russian Federation”, and information on the size of population by sex and age in the Leningrad Region and its districts for 2008–2018. We applied a direct method of standardizing incidence rates by age, analyzed the dynamics of incidence, and estimated statistical significance of differences in the incidence rates between the territories of comparison. Results: Cancer incidence in the Leningrad Region was lower than that in Russia. In 2008–2018, the highest rates were registered in the Kirishsky and Podporozhsky districts. In the Podporozhsky district, the standardized incidence rate in 2018 was 328.1 cases per 100,000 population or 1.79 times higher than the regional average, while the average rate for 2008–2018 exceeded the regional average by 1.36 times. The Kirishsky district ranked second by the incidence of malignant neoplasms in the Leningrad Region in 2018 (241.4 cases per 100,000 population or 1.32 times higher than the regional average), while the average rate for 2008–2018 exceeded the regional one by 1.47 times. Conclusions: Additional research is necessary to establish the causes of high cancer incidence rates in the Kirishsky and Podporozhsky districts of the Leningrad Region.

The purpose of this article is to study the possibilities of public-private partnership in the in realization of environmental policy of the Russian Federation and the Concept of sustainable development. Authors consider that the Russian government should be solving in the process of development of the Russian economy problems of ecology (providing the favorable environment; decrease in anthropogenous load of the environment; increase in efficiency of use of energy resources; correction of negative consequences of resource-intensive industrial development). The public-private partnership is investigated as special legal institute and as a form of interaction between government and business. The potential of public-private partnership in solving problems in the sphere of ecology is studied in these planes.Public-private partnership is studied in various aspects: form of investment in environmental protection; mechanism of achievement of ecological interests of the state and society; a way of stimulation of introduction in economy of innovations which are capable to provide interests of ecosystems.Authors support adoption of the comprehensive and integrated programmatic law which will provide a triad of interests: investments - innovations - ecology. The analysis of legal base of public-private partnership and programmatic laws on sustainable development of the Russian Federation has allowed to draw a conclusion on absence between them direct connection. This has a negative impact on the implementation possibilities of state-private partnership to overcome the environmental crisis. Authors offer changes in the legislation for elimination of this inconsistency. They define the problems of public initiative and public oversight in public-private partnership in the field of ecology.Authors approve need of creation of mechanisms of public control for this sphere.
