Im Anschluß an eine Kurzcharakteristik des amerikanischen Konzepts eines gestaffelten Raketenabwehrsystems, in der er insbesondere auf die Relevanz und die Funktionen der sog. ersten Staffel eingeht, beleuchtet der Autor aus sowjetischer Perspektive die Konsequenzen, Probleme und Gefahren der im Kontext des SDI-Programms vorgesehenen Automatisierung der amerikanischen Entscheidungsfindung im Krisenfall (Abwehrmaßnahmen). Er erörtert dabei u.a. die Frage der Zuverlässigkeit bzw. der Störanfälligkeit der strategischen Hard- und Software und verweist auf die Destabilisierung der strategischen Situation durch die Gefahr eines Erstschlags oder eines zufällig ausgelösten Kernwaffenkrieges (Selbstaktivierung von Angriffskomplexen etc.).

This paper is dedicated to studying the nutrition, health status and food provision of the people living the northern regions of Russia. The authors developed a concept of comprehensive interdisciplinary research of traditional and innovative behavioral practices of actors in the northern regions of Russia in the field of food production and consumption in order to study the structure of nutrition of the population, its health status and the technologies that are used to provide the people with food products. The interdisciplinary comprehensive research applied the following methods: (a) statistical method; (b) sociological method of mass survey; (c) sociological method of expert interviews; (d) method of feasibility study; (e) method of mathematical modeling. According to the results of the analysis, the nutrition of the people living in the norther regions is characterized by insufficient consumption of fresh vegetables, meat and processed meat, fish and seafood, milk and dairy products, some vitamins and bio-elements (such as selenium, calcium) and excessive consumption of saturated fats and flour products. The following problems related to providing the population of the northern regions of Russia with food products were identified: The agriculture in almost all northern regions of Russia has negative profitability; imported food products and food ingredients are mostly used; there are drawbacks of logistics, transportation and storage of food products; the natural and climate conditions are unfavorable for traditional agriculture. The paper substantiates the economic, environmental, social, and political advantages of highly automated agro-industrial complex of vertical farming as an alternative method for providing food security of the inhabitants of the northern regions of Russia. © 2021 by the authors.
