Development of any territorial system is the resulting dynamics of its components – in the case of the regions of the Russian Federation – its constituent municipalities. It is at this level that economic agents and residents directly come into contact with the results of state policy to create favorable conditions for doing business and comfortable living. Comparative studies of socio-economic dynamics on a municipal region make it possible to identify territories with similar development characteristics, which forms a rationale for the implementation of targeted regional policy measures in relation to specific groups of territories. The article presents an overview of publications on the issues of assessing the socio-economic development of municipalities, and substantiates a need to develop our own approach. Based on the attributes of local backwardness such as lagging behind in development from the other similar territories, stable negative economic dynamics; lack of conditions and opportunities for endogenous development, the author's methodology of comparative assessment of the level of socio-economic development of municipalities is proposed. The logic of building a system of indicators is presented, in accordance with which three areas of assessment (“the state of the economy”, “economic dynamics”, “conditions for maintaining human potential”) are identified. The selection of indicators is substantiated in the context of limited statistical data at the municipal level, and an approach for calculating integral indicators for each of the areas of assessment is given. An approach has been formed to the grouping of municipalities depending on the degree of manifestation of local backwardness. This grouping can serve as a basis for determining directions and instruments of selective regional policy for the territories with different levels of development.

The article deals with modern investment instruments for the implementation of public and private infrastructure investments. In recent years, the creation of new and improvement of existing infrastructure investment instruments has been intensified. The development of the system of tools is associated with the complication of the economic and political environment, as well as with the increasing of the needs of the regions in the creation of modern infrastructure facilities. The purpose of the research is seen in the consideration and analysis of the regions practice of using infrastructure investment instruments for the identification the problems and further development the instruments of the regional investment policy. The review of the legislative aspects of the using of these tools, conducted by the authors, as well as the analysis of the factual data about the present and future of the infrastructure investment market in the regions, in particular, in the Khabarovsk Territory, are of scientific and practical interest. The relationship between the concepts of the infrastructure project, infrastructure investments, infrastructure menu and regional investment standard was established. The results of the research described in the article are interesting from the perspective of practical use by the government bodies in the realization of the investment policy of the region, as well as by researchers of the problems of the investment sphere. The authors' results verify the trends of recent years - despite the intensified activity of the federal center, which offers a variety of tools for infrastructure investment, the regions do not yet fully use them for the implementation of infrastructure projects.

The migration outflow of the population, which has been occurring for 30 years in all subjects of the Russian Federation located in the Far East, is becoming a

The article is devoted to the study of influence of placer gold mining on the socio-economic processes in in the eastern areas of Russia on the example of the TransBaikal territory. Reconciliation of economic and environmental interests in the extraction of placer gold remains one of the most relevant in the field of natural resource management. The results of quantitative assessments of the development of the districts of the TransBaikal Territory show that there are short-term benefits from the development of placer gold sites during the mining season in those municipalities where it is conducted. But in the medium term there is no reason to say that it has a positive impact on socio-economic and demographic processes. According to the level of social well-being, gold mining areas differ insignificantly from those where gold mining is not carried out, in particular, this concerns budget security per capita. Growth rate of the own budget revenues in the areas where placer gold is mined is even slightly lower than in those where gold is not mined. The population decline in the areas of placer deposits development is no less intense than in other areas. The conclusion is substantiated that in order for the extraction of placer gold to become a real factor in improving the quality of life of the local population and demographic stabilization in the border regions, it is necessary to carry out the number of institutional changes. These include: radical redistribution of income within the budget system in this segment of subsoil use; increasing the rates of payments within the limits of maximum permissible, temporarily agreed and excess discharges changing the procedures for commercial access to resources.

The article presents theoretical overview of scientific approaches to the study of «social ideas» as a fundamental construct of sociology and related sciences and the results of their sociological measurement among the schoolchildren of the Khabarovsk territory. Genesis of the concept «social representations» (social representations), which has its origins in scientific views and conceptual justifications from the classics of social sciences (sociology, social psychology, etc.) to modern domestic and foreign researchers, reflects both its high significance and the complexity of interpretation and empirical measurement. The methodological analysis of the main scientific approaches to the study of this construct gives reason for the authors to widely use them as the basis for the sociological measurement of social ideas of students in general education schools.The empirical results of sociological surveys obtained by the authors indicate that the school education system forms collective social ideas of students as stable education of ideas, views, values and knowledge, having the central cores of representation, based on quantitative and qualitative indicators. Their sociological measurement testifies to the content and objectification of social ideas regarding study, educational and professional plans, migration moods. The authors consider it expedient to use the presented results of sociological measurement of social ideas of schoolchildren to develop measures to improve state educational policy, primarily in the formation of a value-motivation attitude (meanings and images) to study, the choice of profession, place of work in the regional labor market and other life plans.

Social networks have become an integral element of modern life and are a tool for making public opinion. Today, without them, communication and development of creative potential of the individual is unthinkable. This study was aimed at studying psychological adaptation of the followers of two Instagram accounts to the blocking of this social network. The subject of this study was the information (opinion of followers) received during the first day after blocking Instagram. As a research method, we used a sociological survey in «stories» using a questionnaire that included three questions with four answer options. The mental status and emotional state of the subscribers were also assessed by their further personal interviews. The first account was presented with 10,000 followers, the second with 9,100 followers in the age range from 25 to 55 years old. Less than 10% of the followers took part in the examination. However, most of them refused to be surveyed. It was found that the blocking of Instagram was accompanied by a distress of the usual emotional-informational and supportive space – emotional reactions with a high degree of stress response, loss of social recognition, ways of obtaining it, implementation, monetization, up to a failure of adaptation in some content consumers. In the compared groups, differences were found in such indicators as anxiety, fear, anger, apathy and loss of strength. There were also found differences in reaction to future building, which requires further study. The obtained data on the reaction of subscribers of specific accounts can be extrapolated to other accounts and social networks, as reflecting the process of mediatization of social space, including professional space.

The article is devoted to the problems and priorities of the Trans-Baikal region. The purpose of the study is to study the current state of the socio-political sphere of the Trans-Baikal region and show its important place in the Far East. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved:1. To reveal the features of the socio-political situation in the Trans-Baikal Territory. 2. To study the activities of the authorities of the Trans-Baikal territory in the implementation of socio-political problems in TransBaikal.Taking into account the degree of development of the problem, its insufficient knowledge, the following methods were used: induction, deduction, comparative research, systemic, structural-functional methods. The methodology of this article

The article is devoted to the study of processes of formation of the institution of pedagogical mentoring in the conditions of the modern educational space. The author pays considerable attention to the analysis of mentoring from the position of professional self-determination as one of the important factors for the success of this process at the stage of professional adaptation of a young teacher. The author considers options for reviving the institution of mentoring in Russian schools as an effective way to integrate and socialize a young teacher, to form an understanding in the pedagogical community of the functionality of a mentor, the technology for implementing mentoring, and the interaction between a mentor and a young specialist. The article actualizes the need to develop a system model and apply mentoring technology for the professional development of a young specialist, reveals the main theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding this technology. Analysis of the difficulties faced by young teachers at the stage of entry into the professional activities is presented. Empirical data obtained by the author testify to a number of problems that young specialists face at the stage of entry into pedagogical activity (lack of free time, problems in organizing personal time, difficulties in teaching the subject, communicating with students and their parents). All this, in turn, actualizes the need to revive the institution of mentoring in order to solve a binary problem: help and support for young professionals, as well as reducing the teaching load for experienced teachers with a long teaching experience and school administration, whose mentoring functions are formalized. Along with the growing interest in the quality of training of a young teacher, it gives grounds for concluding that the scientific understanding of this issue is promising. The article draws the main conclusions and proposals for introducing the institution of mentoring into the school education system as part of a pilot approach in the Khabarovsk Territory with the aim of subsequently consolidating and replicating the experience of other interested subjects of the Far-Eastern federal district.

Sino-Russian cultural cooperation is an integral part of development of the Sino-Russian bilateral relations, which together with the political mutual trust, economic and trade cooperation constitute the three pillars of Sino-Russian relations. Over the past 30 years, China and Russia have made remarkable achievements in exchanges and

In August 2019 the state approved creation of the pilot free trade zones in three border provinces and regions (Heilongjiang, Guangxi and Yunnan) with the aim of accelerating opening of the border through the reforms and innovation. Creation of a pilot free trade zone along the border is of great importance for China, as it creates a new high bar for openness to the outside world and contributes to economic and social development of the border areas in a new era. It is also an important measure for the country to promote the construction of «One Belt, One Road» and improve the China's new model of comprehensive openness. Based on the experience of cross-border cooperation in the other border pilot free trade zones, this article discusses specific measures, development difficulties and relevant proposals for leveling the system of the province's international trade channels towards Russia and the North-Eastern Asia.

The article is devoted to the issues of deep logistical and paradigm approaches in planning, programming and predictive design of measures and scenarios for development of the Russian Far East. The author addresses the subject of regulatory experiment and iteratively adaptable regulation. The article presents the author's definitions of the concepts of «regulatory experiment» and «iteratively adaptable regulation». The author articulates a certain objective difficulty in creating an ideal regulatory toolkit (for a long design period of operation), which determines the need to turn to regulatory experimental approaches and technologies. The legislator, who has designed a good (in his opinion) regulatory toolkit, begins to test it in real conditions, and not on paper, or in the head (mentally) or in a computer. According to the author, the latest paradigmatic and instrumental-technological approaches associated with testing, experimental “running in”, with an iteratively adaptable approach based on handling regulatory landscapes, with regulatory spaces, allow them be transformed in the most gentle way in the right directions. These approaches make it possible to fill in gaps and eliminate other defects. However, the identified certain timidity before experimenting in the field of law, therefore, is rooted in the shortcomings of legal education. This is also due to the fact that the technologies and tools of the regulatory experiment and iteratively adaptable regulation, the innovative public law regimes built on them, do not find concretizing explanations in the specialized literature, knowledge about them is not generalized and transferred properly. During preparing the study, classical general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, classification and modeling, as well as scientific legal methods of formal, teleological (target) and specific historical interpretation of law were used as the main ones. The legislation and experience of law enforcement practice in Russia and several dozen foreign countries are taken as an empirical and other source basis for the study. The result reflected in the article completes the author's scientific theory, reflected in his scientific monographs, adapts this theory to Russian reality.

The purpose of preparing this article is to present the results of the implementation of the theory of human development in the practice of public relations at the federal and regional levels. The current specifics of socio-economic processes is

Stable, growing development of the Far East is designed to ensure the national projects of the Russian Federation currently being implemented, one of which is «Culture». Its emphasis on strengthening civic identity on the basis of spiritual, moral and cultural values is fundamentally important. Since the key resource for achieving national goals and solving strategic tasks is human capital, it is no coincidence that this phenomenon is in the focus of the research attention of theorists and experts. The concept of «human capital», initiated by American scientists in the middle of the 20th century to solve the urgent economic problems, not only started a new direction in the world economic thought, but also provoked a controversy on the part of humanitarians regarding the correctness of using this phrase as a concept in an anthropological perspective. They saw in this phrase a loss of orientation towards the harmonic integrity of the universally self-fulfilling man. An analysis of the epistemological field formed by the problems of the phenomenon under study showed that the human capital theory developers did not claim to create a new anthropology based on economic knowledge and the competencies formed by it. At the same time, the critical position of the humanitarians is not groundless, as its supporters believed that the concept of «human capital» contains risks fraught with the human identity deformation due to the absolutization of economic determinism, emphasizing pragmatic prudence and not so much rationality. Humanitarians hated the assertion, driven by financial investments in the education, that the knowledge acquired in its process does not turn a person into a bearer of cultural values, but into a means of production, subject to depreciation and, therefore, replacement. We believe that it is possible to neutralize the noted risks by recognizing the humanities as the foundation of human capital. The humanitarian knowledge, philosophy, and art included in its content are aimed at the formation and strengthening of the completeness and harmonious integrity of human existence.

Modern science and practice widely uses the concept of «human capital» when discussing both the general strategic tasks of transforming an industrial civilization on the way to the formation of a post-industrial, information society, and practical guidelines for the growth of a post-industrial economy, current social transformations and social management systems, corresponding to these general tasks. A broad interdisciplinary managerial discourse of human capital concerns all these areas. The issues of the human capital development index and quality of life indicators are paid special attention to. At the same time, practical functioning of the concept “human capital” and ambiguities in attempts to reflect it cause many problematic situations. Accordingly, the author of the article considers the philosophical and methodological reflection of the «human capital» concept no less relevant. In the context of dialectic of the historical and logical, tradition and innovation, the logic of «transitive» transition, transdisciplinary approach, philosophical and linguistic analysis, etc., the author joins the established interdisciplinary discourse of human capital and stresses the importance of clarifying the essential meanings of the linguistic construct «human capital». Analysis of logic of its historical formation and correlation with the concepts of “man”, “human integrity”, “human potential”, “labor resource”, etc., fixed in the scientific thesaurus, allow us raise questions of clarifying the scientific status and subject boundaries of this concept, which is the sphere of economy. According to the author when the concept of «human capital» is beyond its limits, it acquires the status of a metaphor or an oxymoron. This is evidenced by both the discourse positions and the existential risks of its scientific use in humanitarian sphere.

The Russian Far East is a territory of particular importance for the strategic
