The present investigation provides one of the first complex attempts of theorizing on changes in tourism sector activity within COVID-19 quarantine. Drawing from system and criterion approach weusedthe analysis of official documents and news publication to identify 8 international models of tourism sector support within the pandemic quarantine. Each model was considered with the instrument of strengths and weaknesses analysis. By reviewing Russian national model we conducted deeper analyses juxtaposing and describing experience of Russian regions. Drawing from aтopinion poll realized in Perm krai we described some special features of each tourism sector segment activity within COVID-19 pandemic quarantine. The opinion polls mentioned also showed some limitations of Russian tourism sector support model. With regard to the data mentioned, we proposed the concept of the national electronic exchange service of tourism and resort. This system will potentially support the Russian model in the condition of epidemic crisis, helping the national tourism sector to save and then to restore its activity following laissez-faire principle.

The objective of this research is to obtain and analyze discursive information on the problems and solutions of the tourism sector in an eminently rural region, such as Extremadura, based on the opinions of stakeholders, in order to incorporate them into the evaluation and tourism planning of the region. More specifically, on the situation of the sector, perceptions on profitability and return on investment, the problem of overnight stays, and coordination between tourism agents and training demands, in order to make a sustainable tourism sector in a rural region. The research starts from the following premise: for tourism to be sustainable, stakeholders must participate in the strategic decision-making process. This paper aims, on the one hand, to clarify sufficiently the state of the art regarding the validity of focus groups and their analysis as a research methodology, explaining how to address the main challenges implied by this technique by reviewing a selection of research works that we consider relevant in this field. On the other hand, an analysis of the tourism sector in Extremadura is carried out based on these group dynamics. The main result, after analyzing the discourse of six focus groups, is that the different opinions of their members reveal, despite everything, that the training of human capital in the tourism sector in rural environments is a pending issue.

The results of the study of the registered morbidity caused by herpes viruses (HHV) type 4, 5, 6 in preschool children in a large industrial region are presented. Materials and methods. The information on the registered incidence of acute forms of HHV-4, 5, 6 infections in hospitals and clinics in Perm and Perm Krai in 2015—2018 was studied. The following nosologies were taken into account according to ICD-10: В 27.0, В 27.1, В 27.8, В 25., В 25., К 11., К 77.0, В 08.2. 13 452 outpatient cases of infections caused by HHV 4, 5, 6 children 1—6 years old were analyzed, of which in the city of Perm — 6330, in the Perm Krai — 7122, hospitalized — 1171 people. Results. The incidence of hospitalized patients in 92.0% of cases is represented by infectious mononucleosis. The outpatient incidence of HHV 4, 5, 6 infections in 80.6% of cases is represented by non-mononucleous cytomegalovirus diseases, the proportion of which exceeds those in hospitalized patients by 16 times. Conclusions. The analysis of the registered morbidity caused by HHV 4,5,6 in children 1—6 years old in the city of Perm revealed a significant pediatric problem consisting in incorrectness and overdiagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection.

The paperexamines the attitude to uncertainty and risk withinthe Russian model of management by A.P. Prokhorov. It is shown that the attitudeis determined by the dual nature of this model. The Russian managementsystem in itsmobilization phase easily copes with the uncertainty and allows risky decisions. In the stable phase, the Russian model rejects risk, and security, understood as maintaining the achieved state, becomes a priority. A risky situation is a type of uncertain one when the occurrence of possible events is probable and can be estimated. In this situation, it is possible to assess the likelihood of events resulting from the influence of the natural environment, the actions of partners, opponents, etc., which cannot be done in a situationof uncertainty, and this is thekey factor that distinguishes between risk and uncertainty. Wedefine risk as an integral indicator that combines assessments of both the probabilities of implementing a solution and the quantitative characteristics of its consequences. Thus, risk management presupposes, first of all, a conscious and rational choice. Since changing the national model of management takes a lot of time, wesuggest to try to change the attitude to risk in modern Russian organizations.

Aim. The presented study aims to analyze the current state of the Russian tourism industry in times of crisis.Tasks. The author identifies systemic contradictions in the development of Russian tourism; determines factors affecting the tourism sector; formulates the problems of tourism development during the crisis; proposes ways out of the crisis for Russian tourism.Methods. Over the course of the study, the author uses general scientific methods of cognition, such as comparison, deduction and induction, analysis, generalization and systematization.Results. The identified systemic contradictions in the development of Russian tourism and factors affecting the development of tourism in the Russian Federation allow the author to formulate the problems hindering the development of Russian tourism, such as underdeveloped infrastructure, lack of consideration for the environmental burden on tourist attractions, low innovative activity in the tourism sector, low recognition of Russian tourist brands in foreign markets and domestically, inefficient tourism management system at the national and municipal level, poor training of personnel in the field of tourism, lack of social tourism, insufficient government support under crisis conditions. That said, the solution to each problem is of nationwide significance.Conclusions. Today, Russia has great potential for the development of both domestic and inbound tourism. However, the reality of the economy and international relations, especially during a crisis, leads to Russia’s tourist potential being largely unfulfilled amid strong competition from the foreign tourism market. The proposed solutions to the problems of domestic tourism outlined in the study make it possible to facilitate the development of the tourism sector and enhance competitive potential.

The present investigation provides one of the first complex attempts to analyze new burgeoning part of theory, that illustrates changes in tourism sector daily within global epidemic crisis. Drawing from system and criterion approach we realized theoretical analyses of the conceptual space mentioned. The analyses mentioned showed preconditions of the considering theoretical space and illustrated the main features of its development within Russian and English academic discourses. Within each of the mentioned discourses we identified some dominating types of academic papers and a number of the most widespread topics. Basing on the analysis mentioned, we described two key investigation strategies “Eastern” and “Western” ones, which differ in general investigation logic that they are based on. The theoretical analysis showed that the question of tourism sector functioning within the pandemic (on the business process level) has not been deeply investigated yet. The key reason for it is the early stage of theorizing on the topic mentioned. At this stage investigations are often not systematic and are not coherent enough. To overcome theselimitation we suggested a model of empirical analysis of tourism sector within pandemic. In the future this model will form theoretical and methodological basis for creating effective tourism sector supporting systems for the cases of global epidemic crisis.

The paper approaches digital divide as a complex multi-dimensional and multi-level problem, not being limited to the Internet access only. We argue that regardless of some universal trends previously identified by scholars, every country retains its national specifics in ICT access, skills and benefits people can get from using ICTs. In this vein, we theorize Russian model of the digital divide, approaching it through three main angles: state regulation of digitalization processes in Russia on federal and regional levels; different modes of the digital technology use in a cross-regional comparative perspective; and specific mechanisms for the analysis and further overcoming digital divide in Russia. For the latter point, we propose a ‘digital passport’ of the Russian regions that allows for better understanding of the digitalization progress in particular regions of the country and for more efficient policy-making on site. Lastly, we test a ‘digital passport’ model on eight federal subjects of Russia to show its applicability of the study of the digital divide in different regional contexts.

The features of the development of the tourism sector in the regions of the Russian Federation, which have an impact on the socio-economic development of the country, have been investigated. Analysis of the current state of the tourism sector, classified as the main types of economic activity, is relevant and important for increasing the competitiveness of the regions of the Russian Federation and ensuring the economic security of the state. The study is aimed to model and analyze tourist cluster formations in Russia. The study of tourist activity in the regions of Russia based on the indicators of the database of the Federal State Statistics Service was carried out using a new promising approach - cluster analysis using the scientific and methodological apparatus of artificial neural networks. The distribution of Russian regions into five tourist clusters has been obtained as a result of clustering multidimensional data using neural networks - self-organizing Kohonen maps, which are focused on self-study, and modern information technologies. In neural network modeling, the six-dimensional space of tourism development indicators was mapped, taking into account the topology, into a two-dimensional space, which made it possible to visualize the results of grouping regions by tourist clusters. The features of the development of the tourism sector in the regions of the Russian Federation have been revealed by the totality of the considered indicators The obtained results state that there is a strong variation in the number of regions by tourist clusters and the ametric nature of the development of tourist activity in the regions of Russia. The results of the study are of practical significance for the strategic planning of the tourism sector development, which ensures the development of domestic and inbound tourism. Analysis of the functioning of the tourism sector in the regions of the Russian Federation allows concluding the necessity to take a set of measures to stimulate effective investment activity in a number of tourism clusters, harmonizing the strategies of the state and business, which will contribute to the renewal and competitiveness of this type of economic activity.
