The article deals with gender aspects of the perception of environmental problems by the population in the industrial development of the Arctic. There is substantiated the need to develop an ethno-social approach to the study of environmental problems in the framework of interaction between mining companies and the indigenous peoples of the North. It is proposed to conduct sociological surveys of the population when assessing the impact on the ethnological environment (ethnological expertise of the project). The experience of conducting such research to identify and assess gender-specific perceptions of environmental problems in the implementation of investment projects in the Arctic is shown. Based on the results of the empirical research in 2017–2019 on alluvial gold and diamond mining projects in the Northern regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the main environmental problems that concern the local population are identified. These include: pollution of the environment in the territories of traditional nature use, decrease in the number of deer, reduction in the number of objects of traditional crafts, lack of a system for garbage removal and processing, climate change, and others. The article shows specifics of the environmental problems perception by the indigenous inhabitants of the North (Evenks, Dolgans, Yukagirs, Sakha) on a gender basis. It proposes a mechanism for taking into account the gender characteristics of the population's behavior in the impact of economic activities on the environment in order to ensure gender equality by signing an agreement between mining companies and the local population on the socio-economic development of the territory. The concept of a gender approach to the account of ethnosocial and environmental aspects of territory development with the account the life cycle of the project is substantiated. Implementation of this approach will allow a more full account of the interests and needs of the indigenous population in the industrial development of the territory in the Arctic.

Статья посвящена вопросу о коренных народах Украины. Утверждается, что русские на Украине по историческому праву являются коренным народом, так как русский и украинец имеют общее этнокультурное происхождение. Однако сегодня наблюдаются попытки украинской политической элиты переписать страницы общей истории. ; Russian Russians in Ukraine are, by historical law, an indigenous people, since Russian and Ukrainian have a common ethno-cultural origin. Bearing in mind the common history until the beginning of the XX century, a significant population of the current Ukrainian lands associated themselves with Russians. At the end of the XX century, Russians and Ukrainians gained their national statehood. But the fraternal peoples have in common memories of the indigenous ethnic unity of Ancient Russia, of the epic three heroes who defended Holy Russia, of the canonical saints of the Russian Orthodox Church. However, today we are all witnessing attempts by the Ukrainian political elite to rewrite the pages of our common history.

The article is devoted to the topical issue of development prospects for the peoples of Siberia throughout the vast stretch of Russian territory from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean. It incorporates the ancestral lands of many contemporary indigenous and minority peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East. For them, the issues of preservation of ethnic and cultural integrity, identity and traditional ways of land use are very urgent at the moment.Since 2001 the author has been conducting field research in the Republics of Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia, Gorny Altai and Khakassia, Irkutsk, Kemerovo and Tomsk oblasts and the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. We have employed the functional-systemic approach, the method of participant observation and conducted interviews with representatives of the national intelligentsia and other individuals from Sakha, Buryat, Shor, Altai, Khakas, Tuva, Nenets, Yukagir, Even and Evenki ethnic groups. Having analyzed the research outcomes, we suggest there are three levels of ethno-social consequences of transforming the federal policy on the peoples of Siberia: personal, ethno-political and ethnocultural. We have also singled out 5 models of survival strategies for the peoples of Siberia: neo-traditionalism, shared governance, competitive strategy, displacement of indigenous peoples, and preserving peoples.The author concludes that the majority of the peoples of Siberia do not have enough opportunity to reproduce their collective ethnic identity on their own. Ethnicity of endangered peoples is affected by various influences and destructive factors. The peoples of Siberia can get a chance for preservation only if the international rights of indigenous peoples are introduced and implemented in the Russian legislation. ; Статья посвящена актуальной теме перспектив исторической судьбы народов Сибири на территории России от Урала до Тихого океана. Эта территория является местом исконного проживания современных коренных и коренных малочисленных народов Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, для которых в современных условиях с особой остротой стоят вопросы сохранения этнокультурной целостности и идентичности, традиционных видов природопользования.С 2001 по 2014 г. автором проведены полевые исследования на территориях республик Саха (Якутия), Бурятии, Горного Алтая и Хакасии, Иркутской, Кемеровской и Томской областей, Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа. Применялись функционально-системный подход и методы включенного наблюдения и интервью с представителями национальной интеллигенции и этнофорами саха, бурят, шорцев, алтайцев, хакасов, тувинцев, ненцев, юкагиров, эвенов, эвенков. На основе проведенного исследования предлагается выделить три уровня этносоциальных последствий трансформации политики федерального центра по отношению к народам Сибири: личностный, этнополитический, этнокультурный. Выявлены пять моделей стратегии выживания народов Сибири: неотрадиционализм, соуправление, конкурентная стратегия, вытеснение коренных народов, народосбережение.Заключается, что большинство сибирских народов не имеют достаточных шансов на воспроизводство своей коллективной идентичности как этнической общности собственными силами. Этничность исчезающих народов подвергается всевозможным влияниям и факторам разрушения. Народы Сибири могут получить шанс на сохранение только при условии внедрения и реализации международного права коренных народов в правовом пространстве России.

The regions of the Russian North occupy 70 % of the territory of the country. These areas considerably differ in the level of socio-economic development. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO) ' Yugra is the most developed industrial region of the Russian North. KhMAO is also the main supplier of oil and gas resources. Thus, KhMAO is the focus of the research. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate how the traditional natural resource management transforms on the developing territories and to assess its impact on the lifehoods of the Small Indigenous Peoples of the North (SIPN). The study is based on the hypothesis of the negative impact of industrial development on the territory of the traditional residence of SIPN and, accordingly, on their social and economic development and the quality of life. We have found certain intraregional distinctions of this territorial subject of the Federation. These differences are caused by the features of natural and resource potential, transport security and geographical location. It is true for both the separate municipal entities and larger territorial and administrative sub-regions. We have identified the most acute problems in the development of traditional natural resource management on the territories of active industrial and transport development. The main industries there are reindeer breeding and fishery. We also identified the problem of the northern legislation set up to protect the rights of SIPN. The paper considers the evolutionary changes in the formation of the institution of ancestral domains and the territories of traditional natural resource management, as well as the practice of coordinating the interests of subsoil users and SIPN's representatives with the help of economic agreements. We have demonstrated the problem associated with the difficulties of social adaptation of SIPN. We have analyzed the ecological situation and current state of traditional environmental management to compare the conditions of municipal entities of the region. Using ethnic social and ecosystem approach, we have evaluated the lifehoods of SIPN in the developed and poorly developed regions of KhMAO. The results of the assessment support the hypothesis of the research. The findings of the research can be used when working out on the roadmap of the development of traditional industries and SIPN in the municipal districts of various development level. © 2018 Economy of Region.

The article deals with the development of international relations in Central Asia in the 1930s. The research featured the relationship between England and the Soviet Union during the uprising of the indigenous peoples of Xinjiang against the Chinese administration in 1931–1934. The analysis involved recent publications and archival sources. The research clarifies the historical picture of the confrontation between Great Britain and the Soviet Union in Central Asia. London made persistent attempts to establish its control over the rebel movement in order to gain economic and political influence in the province, which it had lost in the 1920s. However, the reciprocal actions of the Soviet government proved effective and completely deprived Britain of any serious prospects in that region. The confrontation, its forms, methods, and results affected the entire complex of international relations in Central Asia. The conflict became the final episode of the Great Game, which later determined the predominant position of the Soviet Union in Central Asia. Contrary to the opinion of many western researchers, the USSR never intended to annex the territory of Xinjiang. The research summarizes the history of international relations in Central Asia. ; Рассмотрены проблемы, связанные с развитием международных отношений в Центральной Азии в 1930‑е гг. Предмет – взаимоотношения Англии и Советского Союза в период восстания коренных народов Синьцзяна против китайской администрации в 1931–1934 гг. Проведен анализ исследований, опубликованных в последние годы, и архивных источников, вновь выявленных и введенных в научный оборот. Сделан ряд выводов и заключений, которые дополняют и уточняют событийную картину противостояния Великобритании и России (Советского Союза) в регионе Центральной Азии. Отмечено, что Лондон предпринимал весьма серьезные и настойчивые попытки установления своего контроля над повстанческим движением, чтобы с его помощью вернуть в провинции утерянное в 1920-х гг. экономиче‑ ское и отчасти политическое влияние. Однако встречные действия советского правительства в развернувшейся борьбе оказались не только более эффективными, но и окончательно лишили Англию сколько-нибудь серьезных перспектив деятельности в этом регионе. Подчеркивается, что противоборство Англии и СССР, развернувшееся в ходе восстания, его формы, методы и итоги отразились на всем комплексе международных отношений в Центральной Азии. Сама схватка стала, по сути, финальным эпизодом «Большой игры», который определил в дальнейшем преимущественное положение Советского Союза в этом регионе. При этом руководство СССР, вопреки мнению многих западных исследователей, никогда не ставило своей целью аннексию территории Синьцзяна. Материалы исследования могут быть использованы в обобщающих работах по истории международных отношений в Центральной Азии.

Introduction: the article considers some issues of protection of "ethnic" and "cultural" rights of indigenous numerically small peoples of the Russian Federation. It consists of several paragraphs: cultural rights of the indigenous peoples; "cultural" and "ethnic" rights in the Russian Federation; the issue of preserving "ethno-cultural diversity"; the issue of preserving "traditional medicine"; customs of indigenous numerically small peoples as a source of law. Purpose: the authors analyze and compare different approaches to defining the legal nature of the cultural heritage of Russia's indigenous numerically-small peoples as well as measures to protect this heritage, and also give a general description of legal regulation of these peoples' rights protection. Methods: the methodological framework of the research is based on a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the dialectic method is the major one. The authors use general scientific methods (dialectics, analysis and synthesis, abstraction and concretization) and methods specific to legal science (formal-legal, technical-legal, comparative legal). Results: 1) the international law only mentions "ethnic" and "cultural" rights as well as "traditional knowledge" of indigenous peoples, not giving any legal definitions to these terms; 2) the constitutional law of the Russian Federation also does not contain a legal definition of the above terms; 3) protection of "ethnic" and "cultural" rights is a subject of joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its constituent units, but is actually implemented only at the level of the constituent units; 4) in the Russian Federation there is no well-regulated system of support for "ethnic and cultural diversity" since such a system may impede the prosess of a unified nation formation; 5) existing regulations do not address the issues relating to the support for "traditional medicine" as a manifestation of "ethnic" and "cultural" rights of indigenous numerically small peoples; 6) the rulemaking process in Russia does not take into consideration traditional forms of habitat and customs of these peoples. Conclusions: analysis of the current legislation of the Russian Federation on cultural rights of indigenous numerically small peoples, as well as of scientific literature on the study of ethnic and cultural diversity of the peoples of the Russian Federation has been conducted.

Статья посвящена актуальной в научном и общественно-политическом отношении проблеме, связанной с подавлением в первой половине 30‑х гг. ХХ в. китайскими властями Синьцзяна национального движения коренных народов этой провинции. Протест народов провинции, исповедовавших ислам, вызывали экономический грабеж, оскорбительное отношение властей к их культуре, традициям, обычаям и верованиям. Активную и всестороннюю помощь в разгроме повстанческого движения администрации региона оказало советское руководство. Автор статьи на основе источников, выявленных в центральных архивах России, приходит к выводу, что значительную роль в принятии Москвой решения об оказании китайцам помощи в подавлении национального движения сыграл внутриполитический фактор. В частности сложная социально-экономическая обстановка в приграничных районах среднеазиатских советских республик, возникшая в результате начавшейся кампании коллективизации и приведшая к массовой эмиграции проживавшего здесь населения на сопредельную китайскую территорию. Кроме того, на территорию Синьцзяна ушли и влились в ряды повстанцев отряды басмачей, которые боролись против советской власти.DOI 10.14258/izvasu(2016)2-03 ; The article is devoted to the scientifically and politically important issue dealing with the problem of suppression of national movement of indigenous peoples in Xinjiang in the first half of the 1930‑s of the 20th century, implemented by Chinese authorities. Protests of the peoples of the province professing Islam caused economic plunder, humiliating attitude of the authorities to their culture, traditions, customs and beliefs. The Soviet leadership provided the regional administration with active and comprehensive assistance in defeating the insurgency. On the basis of the sources identified in the central archives of Russia, the author makes the conclusion that the home-policy factors played a significant role in forcing Moscow to make the decision to provide Chinese national movement with aid in suppression of the rebels. In particular, one of the reasons was a difficult socio-economic situation in the border areas of the Soviet Central Asian Republics, which resulted from the collectivization campaign and led to the mass emigration of the native population to the neighboring Chinese territory. In addition, Basmachis, who had been fighting against the Soviet regime, left for Xinjiang and joined the insurgency troops.DOI 10.14258/izvasu(2016)2-03
