The rite of Seeing Off a Recruit is one of the most relevant Udmurt family rite traditions that is still performed. Conscription is of particular importance in the life of the Udmurt family and recruit. This article aims to study the songs performed in the rite, and more precisely, their functions of performance at different stages such as the symbolic patterns and items that build a connection between the rite songs and the rite itself. The ethnographic data collected is based on the tradition of the village of Chutozhmon, Malaya Purga District in the Udmurt Republic of the Russian Federation. Through analysis of the data, I construct a detailed description and scenario for the rite of Seeing Off a Recruit. The model for the rite is similar in all Udmurt traditions, although the song component is rather different depending on the village. The original songs and tunes used in the village of Chutozhmon are well preserved and create a complete picture of the rite, thus it has been possible to thoroughly research it.

The article deals with the phonetic features of the northern Ukrainian subdialect of the village of Dubovichi, Krolevets District, Sumy Region. Before that, Serhiy Ivanovich Doroshenko described the dialectal features of Buryn and Putivl districts in a decent manner.The Ukrainian population from the territories of modern Sumy region and some neighboring ones actively participated in the settling of the present Belgorod and Voronezh regions of the Russian Federation, which is confirmed by both actual speaking characteristics and anthroponymy, the facts of which were also recorded by the author. The author tried to make a more complete, more objective picture of the natural speech of Sumy region, in particular the phonetic (vocal) of his subsystem, and to correlate some dialects of this territory with that or another language (northern or southeast). The author focuses on the peculiarities of the vocal subsystem in detail such as akanye, vowels of heterogeneous creation, positional phonemes, and comments on facts and compares them with the corresponding phenomena of neighboring subdialects described by the famous dialectologist S. I. Doroshenko. A. A. Sagarovsky records signs of the development of the subsystem consist-ing in leveling, losing the «exotic» northern dialect traits and considers the subdialect as a transition to the south-eastern (Slobodan) type.

This article addresses the role that the legacy of the pre- and post-WWII past has played in ongoing identity debates among the inhabitants of Kaliningrad oblast of the Russian Federation. Since 1991, interest in preserving this legacy has been on the rise, influencing the inhabitants’ feeling of regional distinctiveness in numerous ways. While the pre-war legacy is important for a considerable number of Kaliningraders, others believe that it threatens the Russian and Soviet mien of the Oblast, both in cultural and political terms. They favor taking greater care of Soviet-era buildings, monuments, and other commemorations of war heroes. This viewpoint disparity has recently widened due to both internal and external factors, including the deterioration of Russo-western relations. A March 2015 incident in the village of Veselovka is used to reflect upon the way in which pre-war and post-war legacies are used in the above-mentioned identity debate. The author examines the direction of identity construction in the oblast through the officially-acknowledged vision of Russianness as pursued by President Vladimir Putin, in particular, and the Russian government, in general.

The results of updating the Cadastre of stationary anthrax-unfavorable points in the Russian Federation (2005) and the creation of databases for nine out of 11 subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District (in the Magadan Region and the Chukotka Autonomous District, anthrax was not officially registered) are presented, information on 1285 points has been updated, instead of 1089 previously recorded. For the period 1856–2008 according to official data and literary sources, 8346 heads of animals and 253 people fell ill in nine subjects. The largest share of sick animals (72.3 %) falls on the Republic of Buryatia, and people (45.1 %) — in the Zabaikalsky Territory. The years of manifestation of activity of 99.8 % of permanently unfavorable points for anthrax are known. Most of the new points were formed in 1890–1899 and 1930–1939. Anthrax on the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District was annually recorded from 1910 to 1989. The maximum epizootic activity was noted in the city of Blagoveshchensk in the Amur Region and in the village of Kyren in the Republic of Buryatia. Based on updated information on the former and renamed settlements in accordance with the territorial-administrative division of the country; specified locations of settlements, former collective and state farms, liquidated in the 90s of the twentieth century; data on years of activity, species and number of dead animals and sick people; Determination of the geographical coordinates of the SNP created a database of stationary anthrax-unfavorable points in six regions (Zabaikalsky, Kamchatka, Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories, Jewish Autonomous Okrug, Sakhalin and Amur regions.

As young people move to cities, the demographic structure of the village changes, and traditional village institutions tend to weaken or even collapse. Another factor is that agricultural income is being replaced by remittances. The consequences of this development for the well-being of rural households are ambiguous. On the one hand, the increase in the share of non-farm income has reduced the dependence of the poor on land for income growth in rural areas. Rural-urban transformation and rural economy in emerging market economies during the economic downturn: empirical data for the Russian Federation, obtained on June 24, 2017; decisions made in 2018 to allocate funds for the development of rural households in the Russian Federation are increasingly dependent on non-farm income and cash subsidies, while dependence on land is decreasing. The purpose of this study is to promote a better understanding of the role of villages in emerging market economies such as the Russian Federation, using a typical Russian village as an example. The results show that, depending on macroeconomic conditions, both agriculture-oriented and migrationoriented livelihood strategies can be useful. During periods of economic growth, migration contributes to the growth of the population's income, but for the full development of this process, a developed system of information support is necessary. Such a system will allow not only to organize information about various production processes in rural areas, but also to increase the efficiency of distribution of production and labor resources. Despite long periods of absence, migrants maintain strong links with their home village to better cope with economic downturns. This information helps to optimize production solutions in rural areas and improve the development of the village.

The article considers the transport tax, which is established by the laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation and is a source of income for regional budgets. The funds from its payment are directed to the financial support of the tasks and functions performed by the subjects of the Russian Federation, including the development of road infrastructure. In the structure of the consolidated budget revenues of the Udmurt Republic, the share of the transport tax is less than 2%, which indicates its insignificant fiscal role. At the same time, in absolute amount, the transport tax annually exceeds 1 billion rubles, which is significant for the budget of the Udmurt Republic. A feature of this tax is the absence of a direct relationship between the amount of tax paid and the conditions of the taxpayer's business. Since January 1, 2019, transport tax rates have been increased in the Udmurt Republic, which primarily affected individuals, since their share is more than 98% of the total number of taxpayers. The analysis of the transport tax made it possible to identify a number of problems that are relevant for the Udmurt Republic, related to the mechanism of calculating and collecting transport tax in the region, as well as to develop proposals that contribute to their solution.

В статье рассмотрена проблема сохранения родного языка абазинами – законодательно признанным малочисленным народом РФ. Угроза ассимиляции и потери языка активизировали деятельность абазинских общественных организаций в этнокультурной сфере. Приоритетными стали проблемы сохранения абазинского языка и сближения двух родственных народов – абазин и абхазов, в том числе проживающих диаспорно в других странах. По инициативе и при поддержке общественников реализуются многочисленные проекты, направленные на сохранение и развитие абазинской традиционной культуры, планируется создание единого абазино-абхазского алфавита. Результаты проводимых в Карачаево-Черкесской Республике в течение ряда лет социологических опросов, позволили выявить достаточно высокий уровень владения абазинским языком, в том числе, среди молодежи. Сохраняется запрос на изучение родного языка. В то же время тревожной тенденцией является отсутствие интереса к его изучению частью опрошенных. Государственная языковая политика, меры, предпринимаемые общественниками, а также достаточно высокий уровень национального самосознания населения в целом позволяют прогнозировать сохранность и развитие абазинского языка в ближайшем будущем. The article is dedicated to the problem of preserving the native language by the Abazins – a recognized small-numbered people in the Russian Federation. The threat of assimilation and language loss has intensified the ethnocultural activities of the Abaza social organizations. The issues of preserving the Abaza language and the convergence of the Abazins with the related Abhazians, including among diasporas in other countries, became priority. On the initiative and with the support of social activists, numerous projects aimed at preserving and developing the Abaza traditional culture are being implemented; it is planned to create a single Abaza-Abkhaz alphabet. The results of sociological surveys conducted in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic over the years revealed a fairly high level of proficiency in the Abaza language, including among young people. A request for studying the native language persists. At the same time, the lack of interest to studying it among some of the respondents is seen as a disturbing trend. However, state language policy, measures taken by social activists and a fairly high level of ethnic identity of the population suggest that the Abaza language will be preserved and continue developing in the nearest future.
