The article focuses on the continuing relevance of research in the field of military history for the joint solution of problems of cooperation and security from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean within the framework of the Greater Eurasian Partnership. The historical path of the Research Institute (military history) the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is described consistently stopping at the stages of its activity. The information about the formation of the Institute, its structure, tasks, and the heads of the Institute is presented. The article provides an overview of fundamental works, research works performed by the Institute's staff, information about famous scientists, laureates of various awards. The contribution of the Institute's staff to the implementation of the state programs "Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation" is shown. The range of tasks solved in the interests of federal state authorities and subjects of the Russian Federation, military administration bodies is characterized. The contribution of the Institute to the provision of the educational process of military educational institutions, the holding of international Olympiads of cadets of military educational organizations of higher education of the CIS member states on military history is observed. An overview of the international activities of the Institute within the framework of the International Commission of Military History, with the CIS countries, the CSTO, the EAEU is given. The role of the Institute in solving the problems of scientific information in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in terms of the history of wars and military art, in countering attempts to falsify and distort military history that harm the interests of the Russian Federation is shown. It is emphasized that the main content of the Institute's activities is the need to preserve the truth about the victory of the Soviet multinational people in the Great Patriotic War, strengthen cooperation with relevant organizations and structures of the states of the Eurasian Economic Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Union State.

Oil and gas exploration projects are typically characterized by a combination of high potential gains and extremely low chances of success, so their appraisal requires some risk aversion discounting. Amongst many risk aversion-adjusted methods of project valuation proposed by economists, the Cozzolino criterion appears to be the most appropriate. However, being applied to the problem of determining the optimum working interest in an exploration venture, this criterion yields an anomalous result such that the optimum working interest first increases and then decreases as the potential gain increases. This problem has inspired an intensive discussion in the oil and gas economics literature but, apart from attempts to overcome the problem by adding extraneous constraints that are somewhat palliative in nature, there has not been proposed a clear and acceptable procedure for overcoming all difficulties.In this article, it is shown that the paradoxical result can be explained if one steps outside the narrow limits of the working interest optimization task and view the issue as a part of a broader problem of building an investment portfolio. The authors propose a decomposition of the total impact of the project gain change on the optimum working interest into two components that resemble the substitution effect and the income effect. Both components have intuitively understandable economic sense and unambiguous sign. The resulting sign of the total impact depends upon the relative sizes of the two oppositely directed effects that can be calculated numerically, thus providing a better understanding of the issue.

The paper presents materials on geology and geochemical specialization Riphean clastic rocks of Bashkirian meganticlinorium, including carbonaceous shales and conglomerates. In the last set high content of gold and platinum group elements, confined mainly to heavily dislocated zones. The conclusion is that the potentially ore-bearing zones in clastic sediments of the Bashkir meganticlinorium is a result of polygenic multistep processes, caused geodynamic development of the region in the Riphean-Vendian time.
