THE IMPACT OF SANCTIONS ON THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE RUSSIAN POPULATION: OBJECTIVE CONSEQUENCES AND SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION

   Since 2014, sectoral sanctions against Russia have had an extremely contradictory impact on the Russian economy, however, starting from 2022, there has been an increase in the scale and number of restrictions imposed. Despite this, macro­statistics confirms the insufficiency of the ratio of planned and actual effects of sanctions pressure, which, despite the attempt to imp­lement the “smart sanctions”, was also intended to affect the deterioration of the standard of living of the Russian population. The goal of the paper is to characterize the effects of the imposition of sanctions on certain parameters that make up the standard of living of the Russian population, both from objective (based on macroeconomic statistics) and subjective (assessed by survey results) points of view.
The hypothesis of the study lies in the insufficient effectiveness of the impact of sanctions restrictions from “unfriendly countries” on the Russian population in terms of possible provocation of an increase in protest activity. The pub­lication uses statistical methods, content analysis of academic publications, and elements of institutional analysis. The main scientific result of the work is a contribution to the academic discussion on the impact of anti­Russian sanc­tions on the Russian economy in relation to their effectiveness. In particular, it is shown that, both according to statistical indicators characterizing the standard of living and according to survey data, the effectiveness of the impact of sanctions is objectively insufficient to provoke protest activity.

The contradictions of human development in a region within the modernization of the Russian professional education system

The article shows that the particular imbalance problem of markets of edu­cational services and labor, which emerged in the post-Soviet period, is cur­rently growing into a more general contradiction between the process of human development and the public demand. Using data from the state statistics, sociological surveys of the economically active population and employers, interviews with various experts (representatives of administrative struclures, educational institutions, enterprises, and organizations), the authors found out that the process of modernization of the Russian professional education system, whose terminal indicator of success is graduate employability, still does not radically improve the conditions of human development of youth. The observed imbalance is expressed at the behavioral level in a way that young professionals cannot unlock their professional potential while employers are not satisfied with the available competencies of young employees

Regional Competitive Potentials and Competitive Attractiveness

The paper considers the current dimensions of competition and groups of consumers for which regions compete with each other. A definition of competitive potentials in a region is presented as well as the calculations of such potentials according to five factors such as the economic development, development of infrastructures, innovation development, quality of life, and human potential, each by a 100-point appraisal plan. We present our assessment of the competitive potentials for several Russian federal districts and regions classified by the technique proposed and discuss how such assessments could be applied.

Human Potential in Cities of the Siberian Federal District: Assessing Ethnic Risks in the Context of Progressing Migration

The paper analyzes the dynamics of the ethnic and demographic situation observed in the Siberian Federal District in connection with migration processes. We consider ethnic aspects of the human development in the SFD cities. We can conclude that a reduction of the population with a western trend of internal and external migrations has been observed in the SFD for a long time, and such demographic losses due to migration could not be compensated. An unequal migration exchange, including the labor migration, has taken place. We can also state that the more intensive character of mosaic structure of the SFD population as well as of variety of ethnic standards can be observed as well as higher competitiveness in labor markets and sociocultural spheres, including those by ethnic features and acceptance of intolerant behavior patterns. Currently, the indicators of the SFD population display the critical problems for its future development. The migration and migration-induced transformations taken place in the ethnic, social and demographic structure of the SFD regional communities, including urban ones, generate zones of risks
