Demographic Situation in Siberia against the Background of All-Russian Trends

The article examines the demographic situation in Siberia and Russia which has improved since 2006, after a long period of depopulation: birth rate is growing, life expectancy is rising, and natural increase has become positive. These are the first successful steps towards overcoming the demographic crisis. Still, birth rate, although positively increasing, is far from that of the late 1980s. According to the data for 2011, it makes only 75% of population replacement. We define the main obstacles preventing future childbirth figures from growing and underline that in order to further overcome the demographic crisis, a family with 3–4 children should become a goal for demographic policy in Russia. Such a family should acquire the largest economic and moral support from the government and the society

Problems of Municipal Administration in Russia and Ukraine

This article analyzes problems of municipal administration basing on a survey on a comparative program for municipal managers in Russia and Ukraine. Although the two countries have different social and economic situations, we observe similar weaknesses in local administration. The paper shows how imperfect the current laws and regulations are, because they are limiting the possibilities of local government. We draw a conclusion that it is necessary to devise a science-based concept of municipal reforms which would be relevant to constitutional principles of local government organization and would provide a reliable legal base for municipal administration
