The article examines the foreign policy and economic strategy of the United Kingdom in the Asian direction after the country's exit from the European Union. As part of its vision to transform the United Kingdom into a global power, London is committed to fully developing relations with the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific region. The UK intends to make up for the economic damage from the loss of markets in Europe by developing relations with the countries of the region, both bilaterally and multilaterally. The British government particularly hopes to enter the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Восточная Азия: факты и аналитика 2021, 3 East Asia: Facts and Analytics 2021, 3 7 (CPTPP). One of the important directions of the new strategy is the development of trade and economic relations with the ASEAN member states. The strengthening of the UK's relations with Japan allows us to talk about the creation of a quasi-alliance between Tokyo and London. However, the UK's economic and security aspirations in the Asia-Pacific region are often motivated by the need to contain the increasing ambitions of China.

The given research paper presents an attempt to analyze the Caspian region from the point of view of its cross-border specifics. In contrast to the traditional understanding of the Caspian region as the region of heightened geopolitical significance the authors analyze its peculiarities and potential in the context of the cross-border cooperation dynamics. It is especially emphasized that the Caspian region may be considered as a cross-border region which, despite the substantial similarities is different from international transnational regions. The authors focus attention on a key contradiction of the Caspian region. On the one hand, national interests and foreign policy of the states-members of the Caspian region (Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan) have a national country and regional importance, since their implementation will form an effective regional security system. On the other hand, the Caspian region attracts the attention of the world powers, becoming a subject of their interest, as it is of great importance for world energy markets and has status of a transit zone between Europe and Asia. For Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan the Caspian status is combined with their most important characteristic of post-Soviet states - shared long historical stage of development within the Soviet Union. The article distinguished and analyzed four main periods of establishment of cross-border cooperation in the Caspian region. The national specificity of modernization reforms in all the countries of the Caspian region have interrelations with further development of cross-border cooperation, the priority of that performs convergence of Caspian states on a number of strategic issues, including economic cooperation and security.

The article deals with Russia's place in Europe and historically examines Europe's changing regional membership in the 17th–21st centuries.We provide the definition of Europe as a region and as a concept that determines Europe's basic values. From this perspective, we overview Europe's history, including the role of its geography, throughout several historical epochs — Europe in the wake of the Peace of Westphalia (after 1648), Europe in times of Goethe (the latter half of the 18th century — the first third of the 19th century), the 19th and the 20th centuries (after the First and the Second World Wars, in the wake of the USSR) and the 21st century (with the rise of globalization). We also focus on the particular interest Europe had in Russia in the wake of Peter the Great's reforms.Regarding the concept of Europe in the 21st century, we state that the EU's claim to speak for the whole Europe is unjustified, which brings up the issue of Russia as part of Europe. Russia's Eurasian geographic space and diversity of ethnic groups and cultures do not cancel Russia's civil identity as a European nation, as well as its other European values. At the same time, Russia needs to preserve multiculturalism, which has been officially abolished in the EU. Russia's cultural ties to Europe also back its European identity. Slogans like "Europe from Vancouver to Vladivostok" or "Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok" in the current times of political instability can be used only as metaphors.The article also deals with border expansion of modernized Europe, revealing the similarity between European modernization with its national models during the Third modernity — the stage which introduced the Modern Age to non-Western nations. Considering Europe as a region and a concept gives a methodological basis for perceiving Russia in the same way. ; В статье обсуждается место России в Европе и осуществляется историческое рассмотрение изменений регионального состава Европы за период XVII–XXI вв.Показано значение термина «Европа» как региона и как концепта, характеризующего ее основные ценности. Под этим углом зрения характеризуется история Европы, отражающая ее географические параметры и ее сущность в разные исторические времена — Европа после Вестфальского договора (после 1648 г.), в эпоху Гете (вторая половина XVIII в. — первая треть XIX в.), XIX и XX вв. (после Первой и Второй мировых войн, после распада СССР) и XXI в. (с началом глобализации). Показан особый интерес к России в Европе после реформ Петра I.Утверждается необоснованная претензия Европейского Союза говорить сегодня от имени Европы. Ставится вопрос о России как о Европе. Евразийское географическое пространство России и наличие многообразных этносов и культур не отменяет гражданской идентичности России как европейской и значимости европейских ценностей для нашей страны. Но для России важен мультикультурализм, который сегодня официально отменен в ЕС.В статье рассматривается расширение границ модернизированной Европы. Показывается сближение концепций модернизации этого региона с национальными моделями модернизации в период новой фазы современности — третьего модерна, открывшего сегодня новое Новое время для незападных стран. Опыт рассмотрения Европы как региона и как концепта дает методологические основания восприятия России как региона и как концепта.

In accordance with the Concept of state family policy in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, the development of the system of state support for families with children is one of the main tasks of the state family policy. Despite the fact that in the years 2000-2013. there was a significant reduction of poverty, the poverty rate among families with children continues to be quite high: in 2014, 18.5% against 11% among the general population. In this regard, particularly relevant is the assessment of the impact of implemented measures of social support for families with children on their well-being. The object of study in this paper is the social support of families with children in Russia (on the example of the pilot regions - the Altai Territory and Samara Region). Spend analysis of the legislation governing the provision of social support to families with children of measures, quantitative survey of families with children and interviews with the staff of the bodies and institutions of social protection.

The article analyzes the processes of regional construction and their specific features in the Baltic Sea region. The article provides insights into main approaches to defining the notion of the Baltic Sea Region, its geography, rationales and preconditions of the Baltic Sea Region construction. The author makes conclusion that currently the construction process is being continued, and it involves a wide range of actors: NGOs, local and regional authorities, scientific organizations, higher education institutions, business structures, international organizations. All these actors use different tools and act in different spheres. Although there is no clear answer to the question "Who and how constructs the Baltic Sea Region?", it is concluded that the cooperation played a significant role in this process, for example, by determining the geography of the region and creating communication networks. Projects, in turn, become a widespread form of cooperation which are used by large Baltic interregional organizations, such as the Northern Dimension, Interregional programmes, the Council of the Baltic Sea States. International project activity of the described above actors, being the point of pooled resources application and also narratives on the regional issues, became one of the mechanisms of the region construction. The article proves that a wide variety of projects in various fields with the participation of different actors creates a picture of the Baltic Sea region building some of its features and providing common identity and responsibility ideas.

Introduction. The purpose of the study is to analyse the level of Russia's science and technology system and to determine the country's placein the international rankings by comparing the performance metrics achieved so far with the showings of the world's leading S&T powers, followed by the appropriate managerial decision-making in the areas requiring the government's immediate attention. Methods. The research tools employed are statistical data grouping, comparative analysis and the formal logical methods. Results and Discussion. Since 2014, various factors (namely foreign policy and economic factors, geopolitical situation, oil market volatility and instability of the national currency) have acted as catalysts of crisis in the national economy, leading to a decline in Russia's international rankings. Following a degree of adaptation to the external changes and a partial economic recovery by 2018-2020, Russia's position has levelled off, but the pre-crisis levels have yet to be achieved. The results of the survey show an overall positive dynamic, with the most significant progress observable in the rankings that characterise competitiveness of the national economy. Conclusion. The findings of the study have practical relevance and can be used to adjust the national policy on scientific and technological development ; For citation: Netrebin YuYu, Medvedev VV.

The development of economic relations between the USSR and the DPRK was seriously hindered by the Korean War of 1950-1953. Shortly after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement between the North and the South, the North Korean leadership headed for the speedy restoration of the national economy which had been seriously damaged by the devastating war: the state urgently needed all kinds of civil and industrial products that North Korean industry couldn`t produce at that time because of the lack of necessary production capacity. In the period of the Cold War the Democratic People's Republic of Korea had no option but to receive such assistance from the Soviet Union. And since the middle of 1950s North Korea became one of the countries of the socialist bloc for which large industrial enterprises of Sverdlovsk and the Sverdlovsk region produced and exported their products through the all-union association "Tyazhpromexport" etc., and these ties were maintained with varying success until the dissolution of the USSR. This article is devoted to the economic cooperation of industrial enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region (except for the city of Sverdlovsk directly) with the DPRK in 1957 - in the year of the liquidation of branch ministries in the USSR when Councils of National Economy were established. Statistics on trade volumes and commodity matrix between industrial enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region and the DPRK in 1957 is analyzed, reasonable scientific conclusions are made. The scientific novelty of our research is determined by using the materials of the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk Region on the activities of the Department of External Relations of the National Economy Council of the Sverdlovsk Economic Administrative Region which have been first introduced into scientific circulation. It helped us shed light on the volume of export deliveries to the DPRK from enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region working under the departments of mechanical engineering, ferrous metallurgy, non-ferrous metallurgy, woodworking and paper industry. The relevance of the topic is due to the importance of understanding the role of the regions of the USSR in the foreign economic cooperation of the Soviet Union with socialist countries in the process of studying the history of not only the domestic economy, but also the economy of the DPRK that is one of the most closed countries in the world.This work was supported by the Core University Program for Korean Studies through the Ministry of Education of the Republic of the Korea and Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2019-OLU-2250001). ; Развитию экономических связей между СССР и КНДР серьезно помешала Корейская война 1950–1953 гг. Вскоре после подписания Соглашения о перемирии между Севером и Югом руководство Северной Кореи взяло курс на скорейшее восстановление национальной экономики, в серьезной степени пострадавшей от разрушительной войны: государство остро нуждалось в разного рода гражданской и промышленной продукции, которую она на тот момент была не в состоянии производить из-за отсутствия необходимых производственных мощностей. Во времена холодной войны у Корейской Народно-Демократической Республики не было иного варианта, кроме получения помощи от Советского Союза. С середины 50-х годов ХХ века Северная Корея вошла в число стран социалистического блока, для которых крупные промышленные предприятия Свердловска и Свердловской области производили и экспортировали свою продукцию посредством всесоюзного объединения «Тяжпромэкспорт» и ряда других. Статья посвящена экономическому сотрудничеству промышленных предприятий Свердловской области (за исключением непосредственно Свердловска) с КНДР в 1957 году – в год ликвидации в СССР отраслевых министерств и образования совнархозов. Проведен анализ статистики объемов торговли и товарной матрицы между промышленными предприятиями Свердловской области и КНДР в 1957 году, делаются обоснованные научные выводы. Новизной нашего исследования является то, что его источниковая база основана на впервые введенных в научный оборот в рамках изучаемого вопроса материалах Государственного архива Свердловской области, связанных с деятельностью отдела внешних сношений СНХ Свердловского экономического административного района, что помогло пролить свет на объемы экспортных поставок в КНДР продукции предприятий Свердловской области по линии управлений машиностроения, черной металлургии, цветной металлургии, деревообрабатывающей и бумажной промышленности. Актуальность темы обусловлена важностью понимания роли регионов СССР во внешнеэкономическом сотрудничестве Советского Союза с социалистическими странами в процессе изучения истории не только отечественной экономики, но и экономики КНДР, одного из наиболее закрытых государств мира.Данная работа осуществлялась при поддержке Базовой университетской программы исследований Кореи через Министерство образования Республики Корея и Службы содействия развитию корееведения Академии корееведения (AKS-2019-OLU-2250001).

Aim. To evaluate the program of rehabilitation services for patients with ACS over the last six years in the Krasnoyarsk Region.Methods. Data from the National report on the key performance indicators of the Regional Vascular Centers and Primary Vascular Departments of the Krasnoyarsk Region from 2012 to 2017; National reports on the population health of the Krasnoyarsk Region from 2012 to 2017; reports of the healthcare institutions providing outpatient rehabilitation for patients with ACS in the Krasnoyarsk Region were included in the analysis.Results. Over the past six years the number of patients with ACS decreased in the Krasnoyarsk Region. There were 15,923 patients suffered from ACS in 2012, in 2013 - 13,119, in 2014 - 11,192, in 2015 - 11,019, in 2016 - 10,985, and in 2017 - 9,903. The number of patients with ACS decreased due to the exclusion of patients with unstable angina (UA), while the number of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remained constant and varied from 5,000 to 5,500 patients. The majority of ACS patients were treated in the Regional Vascular Centers and Primary Vascular Departments where they successfully underwent Phase 1 of the rehabilitation program. At di, all patients were referred to Phase 2 of the rehabilitation program (in-patient) performed in the sanatorium "Yenissei" and "Krasnoyarsk Zagoije". Phase 3 of the rehabilitation program was provided in the Center of modern cardiology and Professorial Clinic of Krasnoyarsk State Medical University named after Professor V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky. The number of ACS patients who underwent rehabilitation after hospital discharge increased over the last years: 5.9% - in 2012, 8.8% - in 2013, 11.9% - in 2014, 13.1% - in 2015, 14.4% - in 2016, 17.1% in 2017.Conclusion. The majority of patients with acute coronary syndrome (76.4-81.2%) underwent Phase 1 (early in-patient) rehabilitation in the Regional Vascular Centers and Primary Vascular Departments. The number of ACS patients who underwent Phase 2 rehabilitation had been increasing annually. Over the past 6 years the percentage of patients had increased from 5.9% to 17.1%. However, only one-sixth of patients with ACS underwent Phase 3 rehabilitation after hospital discharge. Therefore, the improvements in the management of Phase 2 (in-patient) and Phase 3 the (outpatient) through the integration with the regional hospitals of the Krasnoyarsk Region, increase in the numbers of government contracts in Krasnoyarsk, and formation of the reliable continuity between Phase 2 and Phase rehabilitation are required. ; Цель. Проанализировать проведение реабилитационных мероприятий у пациентов с острым коронарным синдромом (ОКС) за последние шесть лет в Красноярском крае.Материалы и методы. Нами были проанализированы: «Отчеты об основных показателях регионального сосудистого центра (РСЦ) и первичных сосудистых отделений (ПСО). .Красноярского края за 2012-2017 гг.»; «Государственные доклады о состоянии здоровья населения Красноярского края в 2012-2017 гг.»; отчеты лечебных учреждений, занимающихся реабилитацией пациентов ОКС на амбулаторном этапе в Красноярском крае.Результаты. В течение последних шести лет количество пациентов ОКС в Красноярском крае снижалось. В 2012 г. их было 15923 человека, в 2013 г. - 13119, в 2014 г. - 11192, 2015 г. - 11019, 2016 г. - 10985, 2017 г. - 9903. Количество больных с ОКС снизилось за счет пациентов с нестабильной стенокардией, количество больных с острым инфарктом миокарда все эти годы было постоянным и колебалось от 5 до 5,5 тысячи человек. Большинство пациентов с ОКС получали лечение в РСЦ или ПСО, где в полном объеме прошли первый этап реабилитации. После выписки из стационара пациенты проходили второй этап реабилитации в санаториях «Енисей» и «Красноярское Загорье», третий этап - в «Центре современной кардиологии» и Профессорской клинике медицинского университета. Количество пациентов с ОКС, прошедших реабилитацию после выписки из стационара, за эти годы увеличивалось: в 2012 г. 5,9%, в 2013 г. -8,8%, в 2014 г. - 11,9%, в 2015 г. - 13,1%, в 2016 г. - 14,4%, в 2017 г. - 17,1%.Заключение.Большинство пациентов с ОКС (76,4-81,2%) проходят в полном объеме первый (ранний стационарный) этап реабилитации в РСЦ/ПСО. Наблюдается ежегодный рост числа пациентов с ОКС, прошедших после выписки из стационара кардиореабилитацию. За 6 лет этот показатель увеличился с 5,9% до 17,1%. В то же время только одна шестая часть больных ОКС проходят реабилитационные мероприятия после выписки из клиники. Необходимо совершенствовать работу второго (стационарного) и третьего (амбулаторного) этапов реабилитации за счет вовлечения в процесс реабилитации лечебных учреждений в регионах края, увеличения объемов госзаказа в краевом центре и улучшения преемственности между вторым и третьим этапами реабилитации.
