The article reveals the possible options for the development of disadvantaged regions, discovers and investigates the specific typology of the most popular regions that have been developed to overcome the less-developed regions of the Russian Federation and the EUzone. Background study confirms the need to address one of the most difficult issues of the modern economy of the Russian Federation — the formation and development of certain types of regions within a single country´s economy. The growing socio-economic disparity in regional development, the emergence of problem (occasionally to the extent of crisis) regions, the disintegration of the Russian economic zone call for innovative mechanisms to facilitate socio-economic stability and sustainability in the regions. The article identifies the types and subtypes of underdeveloped regions in the European Union. At the same time, the urgency and the variety of regional issues in the Russian Federation require detailed strategic research initiatives and innovative proposals coming from representatives of regional authorities. Significant contribution into this process is made through the development of theoretical and methodological solutions to problems of state regulation of the processes of lagging regions ´sustainable development. There is an urgent need for a broad picture of the economic reforms in the Russian regions, for a track-record of major destabilizing factors incidence, for a potential economic growth model, for options and mechanisms for ongoing socio-economic growth as dependent mainly on the internal potential of the region and the most effective use of its own resources and capabilities. The to-date opinions, strategy and market environment conditions are not consistent with the concept of sustainable development in general and the locally-shared vision of sustainable development.

The article analyzes the participation of the Russian Federation in international cooperation on the climate change prevention. Global climate change in terms of its impact on world economy is presented as a catalyst for multidirectional shifts in many sectors of economy. The adoption of international documents such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992), the Kyoto Protocol (1997), the Paris Agreement (2015), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015) are viewed as vital steps for regulating international cooperation in this sphere. Analyzing the provisions of the 2020 Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation (2009), the authors emphasize the aspiration for international political and economic integration and deep economic interest in modernization as main factors, affecting Russian climate policy strategy. One of the mechanisms of implementing state policy in the field of environmental safety is the adoption of state regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the consideration of these measures in the development of longterm strategies for socio-economic development. The authors urge for creating regional strategies for climate change prevention with necessary adjustment and adaptation to a specific region or constituent entity of the Russian Federation. In presenting the research results, the concept of “global warming potential” and the role of managing this potential in achieving sustainable development goals are disclosed. The authors argue that a significant contribution to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions is made by the production activities of the energy sector. Based on the data of the largest international companies (Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, BP, PetroChina, Shell, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Rosneft), directions for reducing their negative environmental impact were determined, including the classification of tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. International practice analysis forms the necessary ground to elaborate the most promising modern tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by Russian oil and gas companies.

Objective: Evaluation of the lag timelines for the launch of innovative drugs to the Russian market and pharmacoeconomic factors they can depend on. Methods: To complete the investigation, we used information about drug products, namely, dates of submission and approval, and pharmacological groups recovered from national registers and official databases. Results: Due to impacts of market factors and imperfection of the state regulation, original drugs developed abroad enter the Russian market a few years after their registration in the United States of America, the European Union, and Japan. The average time from the moment of initial approval of a drug in the aforementioned countries and jurisdictions to the moment of registration in Russia is 4 years and 8 months, with a median value of 2.5 years. It has been shown that half of this term is spent on the performance of the procedures of the expertise of the drug registration dossier in the Russian Federation. Conclusion: To attain the goal of adequate supplies to the population of the Russian Federation of the most up-to-date, high quality, safe, and efficacious medications, apart from the support of national originators of innovative drugs, we are required to upgrade the existing system of original drug registration. Improvement should be primary focused on the drugs already approved by the leading national regulatory authorities in order to ensure innovative medicine access for Russian patients.

The paper considers the problems of the development of monotowns related to the development of mineral resources. The author shows that the solution of the problems of these cities is possible only if the system of state regulation of the development of mineral resources is changed at the stage of high maturity of the resource base. At the same time, the paper focuses on the development of the so-called "resource monotowns". The author analyzes the relationship between the stages of development and extraction of natural resources within the framework of the research. The important factor is the role of so-called "system specificity" of assets that form the basis for the formation and functioning of the mono-industry and the infrastructure of the settlement. Another important factor is the need for decentralization of powers in granting, taxing, and regulating the development of natural resources, their redistribution from the Federation to regional authorities and municipalities (including monotowns). The latter implies the formation of a system of subsoil use, based on complicity, co-management of the natural resource potential. In this case, in the opinion of the author and the proposed recommendations have constitutional grounds, as Art. 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation refers to "joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the subjects of the Federation of issues of ownership, use and disposal of land, mineral wealth, water and other natural resources". The proposed recommendations and practical interpretations for Art. 72 include the need to expand the range of subjects of joint jurisdiction with mandatory inclusion in their number of municipalities (including monotowns), as well as citizens. This involves creating a mechanism for interaction between all these actors in the processes of preparing, discussing and implementing decisions in the sphere of the use of natural resources.

In the article, the authors formulate a definition of co-regulation based on an overview of the approaches available in documents and regulations from the European Union. Co-regulation does not appear to be an intermediate form between state regulation and self-regulation, but rather an independent method of social regulation that can significantly improve legal regulation effectiveness. This is achieved by combining legal principles and norms and state control over their implementation with a broad discretion of professionals in a particular field. Sports is considered a classic case of co-regulation since all Russian sports federations pursue the legally defined goals (development of one or more sports in the Russian Federation, their promotion, organization, sporting events and training of athletes who are members of national sports teams), achieve these goals to realize the legally defined rights and obligations, and undergo evaluation for effectiveness and accreditation by the state. The article thoroughly analyzes the history of adopting a package of amendments to Russian legislation in order to introduce arbitral proceedings for athletes and coaches’ individual labor disputes in 2020. This example demonstrates the weaknesses of exclusive state regulation of legal relations in sports and the shortcomings of self-regulation. Specific problems are identified: their solutions are quite complicated when one has to choose one of the above-mentioned models or their combination, the status of “legionnaires”, duration of labor contracts, conditions for paying salaries and others. The arguments in favor of introducing a national arbitration for athletes and coaches’ labour disputes are considered. The status of Russian and international sports federations is studied in terms of their classification as self-regulatory organizations and the inconsistency of the independent status of sports organizations is demonstrated. In conclusion, the authors propose an amendment to the Federal Law on Physical Culture and Sports in the Russian Federation to legalize co-regulation in this area.

The article explores the criterion approaches that make it possible to identify municipalities as single towns and compares the categories of single-sector municipalities (single towns) depending on the magnitude of the risks of their socio-economic situation, employment and unemployment in the labour markets of single towns. The work used foreign and Russian studies on problems of state regulation of single towns, analyzed the experience of developed countries. Methodological tools of research: methods of analysis of statistical sources, logical justification, forecasting. According to the study, the largest concentration of single towns over a three-year period corresponds to two groups: monoprophilic municipal entities of the Russian Federation (monocities), with observed risks of deterioration of socio-economic situation and monoprophilic municipal entities of the Russian Federation (monocities) with crisis socioeconomic situation. The article presents conceptual approaches to regulation of social and economic development of single towns of the Russian Federation, which allowed to highlight three main approaches to development of single towns in the Russian Federation (inertial, scenario of rehabilitation of the cityforming enterprise and scenario of its closure). As a result of the presented forecast information — all categories of single towns show a decreasing trend in the number of employed population. However, most of all, this trend affected the category of cities with stable socio-economic situation, which indicates not only the deterioration of the situation in these territorial entities, but also the general negative trend of development at the level of the national economy. Practical results of the study can be used in developing assumptions to regional authorities to reduce unsustainable employment in single towns

The Impact

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of green financing in the Russian Federation and the extent of its impact on economic growth in the country. Methodology: The main research methods utilized were the regression and cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Cluster analysis implies dividing the set of studied objects and features into groups or clusters that are homogeneous in some way. We used it to determine regional differentiation of subjects from the Russian Federation according to the level of green financing. The clustering of subjects was performed using the ward method. This method is aimed at combining closely located clusters. Regression analysis was used to build an econometric model for assessing the degree of influence of green Finance on economic growth. Main Findings: The authors proved that stimulating green financing in Russia requires the following: creating a regulatory framework and roadmap for the development of green financing, active state participation in financing green projects, creating a “green bond market,” and a specialized banking institution. Application of the study: In this article, the authors assessed the impact of green financing on Russia’s economic growth. As part of the study, the authors analyzed the dynamics of green financing in the Russian Federation from 2000–2018, developed an integrated indicator for sustainable economic growth based on three components of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental), and estimated the impact of environmental investments on the integral indicator of sustainable economic growth. Novelty/Originality of the study: The proposed methodology for calculating the integrated indicator of sustainable economic development allowed us to assess sustainable development, taking into account economic, social, and environmental indicators. Such an approach has several advantages over the current methods: it is universal, indicators are available, and calculations are clear.
