Social and economic problems of the Far East of Russia are in many respects caused by its technological lag, low level of innovative development. The determining role in formation of innovative economy belongs to the institutes of innovative infrastructure which are the basic element of the regional innovative systems. Among them most important are technological and financial infrastructure. The analysis of dynamics of development of these institutes in the Far-Eastern macro-region shows that their formation happens to big lateness, and transition to an innovative type of reproduction isn’t a priority of the pursued state regional policy. The exception is made only by the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic which is consistently developing institutes of innovative infrastructure in the region. Presence of the institutes of development of federal level in the Primorsk territory extends. Results of the carried-out analysis can form the basis for acceptance by the public authorities in the macro-region of measures for formation and development of institutes of innovative infrastructure that, in turn, can become an important factor of improvement of a social and economic situation in the Far-Eastern federal district of the Russian Federation.

Increase in the prices for the real estate leads to the constantly increasing gap between the housing prices and the income of citizens. It isn’t possible to get housing in property under the contract of purchase and sale without the use of borrowed funds for the most of Russians. Mortgage lending is the most acceptable way of buying of the property premises. Existence of the own housing brings an element of wellbeing and stability in the life of people, and it is very important, according to the sociologists that housing appeared as soon as possible, but not after ten years’ expectations. In this regard the alternative to mortgage housing lending doesn’t exist. Systematization of approaches to an assessment of availability of services of mortgage lending to the population in the following parameters is presented in the article: the average rate on a mortgage; a share of the monthly located income which is spent for payments for IZhK; total amount of “overpayment” on a mortgage; the amount of initial contribution for receiving a mortgage loan; a set of documents for submission of the credit application and confirmation of solvency; possibility of the choice of a way of repayment of a mortgage loan. The methodological basis of a research is made by a system approach, functional and comparative analysis, the method of expert evaluations.

In this paper, Russia’s domestic trade carried by rail is analyzed. The dataset used is a complete record of all intra- and inter-regional shipments that covers a 5-year period from 2012 to 2016. Certainly, these data reflect only a part of the total domestic trade in the mentioned period, but the rail freight traffic accounts for a significant proportion of it and may represent important patterns. The internal trade of Russia is compared in the structure both with the export of the country and with the internal trade flows of the USA. The article also uses the “economic complexity” concept to identify goods in the Russia’s domestic trade structure, which are located in the most profitable areas of the product space, suggesting that they can be the best contenders for entering the global market in terms of promoting export diversification and economic growth.

The article analyzes and assesses the efforts of some subjects of the Russian Federation to develop tourism on its territory. The subject of study of this publication is the efforts of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to realize the tourist potential of the respective regions. The main focus is on the natural objects of the display, which each of the regions considered has. The regional target programs and their main results, which can be judged on the level of tourism development, are considered. To achieve this goal, the authors used a comparative and comparative analysis, for some of the assessment of some indicators, data from a retrospective analysis was involved. The conclusion is made about the possibilities of the considered regions for the development of tourism, taking into account the already existing objects of display and plans to implement projects in the field of tourism based on natural attractions. The results of the research undertaken may be of interest in the development of targeted programs and projects in the field of tourism at the regional level, as well as in the implementation of integration tourism projects based on interregional cooperation and cooperation. The authors have to admit that despite the huge natural potential for the development of tourism, there are still many problems associated primarily with the weak development of infrastructure, the need to adjust and update the strategies and programs of the regions in the field of tourism. Only with the direct participation of the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can we expect the full realization of the tourist potential.

The article makes a conclusion about the growing crisis of social relations, deformation of the continuity of generations, the mismatch of needs and the possibilities of satisfying them with the young people. Despite the taken measures, statistics and the results of sociological studies indicate negative trends in the migration attitudes of the Far East. Over the past three decades, there has been a rapid decline in the proportion of young people in the Russian Far East due to the migration outflow.

In the modern conditions, the role and importance of bilateral relations between Russia and China is rapidly increasing, therefore, the search for new, effective solutions in this area is necessary. Particular attention is attracted to the improvement in the perspective of cooperation between the border areas. The experience gained over the decades (both positive and negative) makes it possible to intensify the existing tools of interregional economic interaction, as well as to form the new institutional approaches. Directions for the future development of relations between the Russian Far East and the Northeastern China, which are being developed and discussed, are not only aimed at solving the local development problems, but also to a large extent contain the answers to the expected macroeconomic risks associated with changes in the future characteristics of the development of both countries. Expanding the range of programs of interregional cooperation the author gives grounds for the joint search and implementation of the mutually beneficial projects.

The Chinese province of Heilongjiang historically is the largest border partner of the Russian Far East. At all stages of the Russian-Chinese cooperation its economy created prerequisites for the effective interregional interaction. In spite of the fact that volume characteristics of trade between the province and Russia significantly didn’t increase within the last ten years, spheres and depth of cooperation objectively extend, new instruments and institutes of effective interaction are created.

Trade and economic cooperation of the province of Heilongjiang with Russia in 2018 is considered. Evaluations of the developed trends and the role of regional interrelations in implementation of the Russian-Chinese projects are given. Factors of growth of the volumes of trade for 64.7% in comparison with the same period of last year and achievement of the best levels in 174.77 billion yuans are analyzed. Acceleration of the Chinese-Russian trade and economic cooperation, further the growth of volumes of import and export of trade of Heilongjiang with Russia is considered.

In 40 years of implementation in China of the policy of reforms and openness the Chinese province of Heilongjiang achieved considerable results in a use of foreign capital, however in this sphere the big gap in comparison with the developed provinces of the southern China still remains. The main problem is that rather underdeveloped economy imposes restrictions for attraction of the investments. To make active an openness factor for the outside world, in the province of Heilongjiang the new policy to attract the foreign capital due to creation and strengthening of additional benefits for the foreign investments is implemented.
