Incident Cases

Cancer is increasing worldwide. Th e Russian Federation is no exception in this regard with an increase of the total number of new cases predicted to rise from 529,062 in 2018 to 587,622 in 2040. Th e present high burden and increase in incident cases at the same time increases the pressure on healthcare infrastructure and related costs. Th us, primary and secondary prevention of cancer becomes essential. Occupational cancers related to exposure at the workplace are among the preventable cancer burden, due to the modifi ability of the risk through minimisation of occupational exposures and adequate worker protection. For the Russian Federation, some 20,000 cancers each year may be att ributable to occupation, but systematic recording is currently lacking. As information is also lacking on the absolute eff ect of various occupational carcinogens in the Russian workforce due to lack of large-scale epidemiological studies and because for many suspected occupational carcinogens the evidence may become stronger, the true burden may in fact be higher. Th e Russian Federation appears particularly suitable for research into occupational cancer given the sizable workforce, the heavy industr ialisation as well as the good documentation and workplace surveillance over time, so that results are both informative for the situation in the Russian Federation and on a global scale. Five challenging but not unfeasible steps of nationwide population-based cancer registration, development of a legal framework for record linkage of registries and data collections, recording of occupational cancers, large scale epidemiological occupational cancer research and rigorous implementation of worker protection on known carcinogens, lead the way to a continuously updated cancer control plan that includes the elimination of occupational cancer in the Russian Federation.

The article presents some preliminary results of the research that reviewed the statements made at the general debate of the UN General Assembly from 1992 to 2020 by the countries of Eastern Europe, Caucuses and Central Asia focusing on the environmental matters. These findings demonstrate the key environment related priorities of the countries across the years, the ways countries frame them as well as the initiatives and proposals put forward. General trends by countries and regions have been identified and new priority issues for future statements have been proposed. The study was carried out within the framework of the UNECE project “Support to the Network of Russian-Speaking Water Management Organizations”, funded by the Government of the Russian Federation.

This article aims to introduce the energy policy program assumptions of the Russian Federation. An analysis led to the conclusion that the Russian Federation avails the network of hydrocarbon transmission pipelines to obtain an energy superpower status. The transformation of the energy sector is not restricted to measures aimed at increasing efficiency. It similarly plays a vital role in building the state's potential. More so, it co-creates the crucial instruments of international influence. Through building the network of pipelines, the Kremlin consistently attains its geopolitical aim of being an important player in the international arena. Ineffective endeavours to get out of the Russian domination in that area has allowed Russia to maintain its infrastructure monopoly and dominance of Russian gas on the markets of Central and Eastern Europe.

AbstractThe article presents a multifaceted analysis of threats to Central and Eastern Europe by the Russian Federation. Russia’s imperial policy, as set out in Gerasimov doctrines in 2013 and 2019, forced NATO to develop a new strategic concept. NATO’s new strategic concept was put forward at NATO Summits of 2018 and 2019 by Member State leaders, and it defines a new strategy to deter a potential aggressor. The new strategic concept is based on NATO’s strategy of cohesion and coherence discussed in detail in this article. NATO’s new strategic concept was a result of Russian military operations in Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia and Montenegro, as well as the deployment of Russian forces on Russia’s western and southern borders. Nowadays, when the application of a new strategy can give a significant advantage, Russia’s imperial policy using cutting edge technology seems unpredictable, as it does not give the enemy a chance to repel an attack in a timely manner. Thus, NATO’s new strategic concept contributes to creating a space of security cooperation for Member States.

В статье приводятся возможности, позволяющие отечественному банковскому сектору предлагать клиентам конкурентные услуги на уровне кредитных институтов Центральной и Восточной Европы. Развитие филиальных сетей дает возможность максимизировать охват населения банковскими услугами с перекрестными продажами других финансовых и нефинансовых услуг. Сформулированы основные проблемы, составляющие угрозу банковскому сектору, среди которых – мошеннические операции. В связи с этим предлагается сосредоточить внимание банков на системах идентификации клиентов для локализации операционного риска. The article describes the opportunities that allow the domestic banking sector to offer customers competitive services at the level of credit institutions in Central and Eastern Europe. The development of branch networks makes it possible to maximize the coverage of the population with banking services with cross-selling of other financial and non-financial services. The main problems constituting a threat to the banking sector are formulated, including fraudulent transactions. In this regard, it is proposed to focus the attention of banks on customer identification systems to localize operational risk.
