Illegal Migrants

In the article raises the complex problem to describe the components of the phenomenon of Chinese illegal migration in theRussian Federation, to identify ways of solving problematic issues. The investigation of the interpretation and application of the term«illegal migration» in regulatory documents and scientific publications of the United States, European Union and Russia. Outlines the author’s understanding and classification of the term as applied to the Russian migration situation. Shows the scale and form of Chinese illegal migration in Russia, examines the factors that affect the actualization of this problem, which can be classified in two main groups: factors affecting the penetration of Chinese illegal immigrants in Russia, and the factors that attract the attention of Russian society to Chinese migration.Ambivalent results were made: on the one hand, Chinese migration, including its irregular component contributes to the solution of the problem of labor shortages in agriculture and construction, especially in the Far East and Eastern Siberia. On the other, Chinese illegal migrants to Russia, is а real problem, which to some extent has a negative impact on the economy and society of the Russian Federation. In addition, the article States that the Chinese migrants (including illegal) in some cases become victims themselves, and in Russian society continues to evolve xenophobia and negative attitudes towards migrants. The study is fixed and develops the idea that there are three major ways to combat illegal migration: 1) improving the legislative framework and the effectiveness of its enforcement, 2) international cooperation on a bilateral and multilateral basis and 3) the efficiency of law enforcement agencies in developing and carrying out special operatively-preventive events.

The descriptive part of this research focuses on the latest trends in U.S. inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and describes the U.S. inward FDI flows and stock as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and includes geographic and sectoral distribution of inward U.S. FDI. The important part of U.S. inward FDI profile relates to inward U.S. FDI employment and inward U.S. FDI financial flows, which include equity, reinvested earnings, and intercompany debt. The corporate players, Mergers and Acquisitions(M&A’s) and green field investment are discussed briefly. The empirical part of this research investigates state-based factors affecting the inward FDI employment among 50 states of the United States and is based on data collected by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). This study identifies several state-specific determinants of FDI employment. The results indicate that the major factors exerting positive impact on inward U.S. FDI employment are: real wages, infrastructure, unionization level, educational attainment, FDI stock, and manufacturing density. In addition, the results show that gross state product growth rate, real per capita taxes has negative impact on FDI employment.

The journal Russian-Chinese Studies (iss. 3–4(3), 2018) published an extensive article by V.I. Mertsalov Political “Face” of Chieftain Semenov (the History of the Civil War in the Far East). The author having analyzed a wide range of literature traced the evolution of political views of the chieftain and made a number of fundamental conclusions. According to the author, with all the diversity of views and actions of Semenov, they were consistently anti-Soviet and anti-communistic which is clearly reflected in the thesis formulated by the ataman: “…Where there is bolshevism, there is no Russia”. We can’t but agree with this author's argument. And yet, with all the variety of scientific publications on this issue, it is useful to continue the historical research, fully revealing all the criminal activities of the chieftain. Especially in recent years when among the representatives of the TRANS-Baikal “white” Cossacks and some local historians propaganda has intensified to reconsider the verdict of the USSR Military Board of the Supreme Court to chieftain Semenov and his subsequent rehabilitation. The reason for this is the “newly discovered circumstances” — declassified documents that allegedly indicate that “the charges against the chieftain are absurd, and the investigation and trial against him were conducted in violation of the law”. Therefore, “reviewing the Semenov case would play a positive role in reconciling Russian society”. Proponents of rehabilitation deliberately hide that during his life the chieftain got the infamous nickname “bloody” for what he did to the country. What kind of “reconciliation” — whom and with whom — can we talk about? In this regard, the author of this article offers his own vision of the chieftain case referring to his previous published research in scientific journals and the media.

The work discusses the features of the structure of fouling (biofilms) formed in the water treatment system of the iron-bearing groundwater of the Tungusskii deposit (Far East, Russia). The main factors affecting the composition of biofilms are trace amounts of organic substances, oxygen, different phylogenetic composition of microbial communities and their ability to form a polysaccharide matrix. The formation of structured communities in biofouling of the water treatment system can have a negative impact on the organoleptic characteristics of drinking water due to the formation of complex trophic connections.

The article analyses the activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts, activities that form a major component of the national security system of the Russian Federation against extremist, including terrorist, threats. The article examines the features and the degree of influence of the main factors on the activities of state structures, religious organisations, public associations for the prevention and suppression of interethnic conflicts. The survey of twenty experts who are highly qualified specialists in the field of countering ethno-extremism conducted by the author using the methods of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, as well as the results of mass sociological studies and analysis of scientific works and media publications on the topic of the research allowed to determine the degree of influence of the main factors on the ethno-conflict sphere. It was revealed as a result of the research, that the Russian Orthodox Church, traditional Muslim organisations and public law enforcement organisations, primarily Cossack organisations and voluntary people's guards, have the most positive influence on activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts. The factor of "spreading the ideology of the" Russian world "" in the context of aggravated relations with Western countries has practically no effect on anti-conflict activities in the ethno-national sphere. Attempts to support foreign followers of the Russian patriotic project evoke nothing more but Russophobic reaction from the political elites in a number of foreign states. Such factors as “deficiencies in educational and upbringing activities”, as well as “pandemic”, have a negative impact on the activities aimed at preventing and suppressing ethnic conflicts in Russia. The worst influence on the prevention and suppression of ethnic conflicts, according to the experts interviewed, have “activities of elites in national formations”, “migration policy”, as well as “development of Internet communications and social networks”. The author proves that taking into account the peculiarities and degree of influence of the main factors on activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts will not only allow the authorities to ensure the protection of the Russian society from ethno-national threats but also to more effectively solve important tasks of strengthening the all-Russian self-awareness and spiritual community of the Russian nation, harmonising ethno-national relations and state-civil consolidation in the Russian Federation.

The author of the article tracks the cases of illegal migration of the peasants, churchmen and workers from the territory of the Ukrainian SSR to the Poland during the Holodomor of 1932–1933 with the analysis of historiography, scientific publications and archived materials stored in the archives of Ukraine and abroad. The reasons of the sharp increase of the number of attempts of illegal migration from the USSR through the western border are analyzed on the cases of illegal migration in conditions of strengthening protection regime of the state border and the resistance of peasantry of Shepetivka district, which was in the direct proximity of the neighboring state. The author focuses on the social committees, which connected active politically element of the Ukrainian national society Tarnopolsky (in particular, Borshchiv, Chortkiv and Skalat powiats) and Volyn voivodeships of the Poland to help the starving and the refugees from the territory of the USSR. The measures taken by the Ukrainian Public Committee of the Rescue of Ukraine to gather information on the economic, political and grocery situations of the population of the USRR are analyzed. The article introduces to the scientific circulation the samples of the documentation of public committees that were used to obtain information from illegal migrants and for the building of the evidence base on the issue of the artificial nature of the famine in the Ukrainian SRR. Separately considered the possibility of making funds for permission to exit of Soviet citizens, who were in kinship with the residents of the Republic of Poland, to prevent the deportation of illegal migrants to the USSR border.

In this paper the authors consider the materials of one of the leading American analytical magazines Foreign Affairs, devoted to the Chinese Civil War in 19291950. The novelty of this study lies in the analysis of assessments of key actors and assessments of the situation in the country as well as a possible outcome of the conflict which were made by American journalists. The authors provide the results of the analysis of Foreign Affairs articles for the formation of Mao Zedong image in connection with the events of that time. The authors reviewed the main arguments of the American press, which revealed that the problem of the civil war was one of the components of the complex problem of planning a post-war reconstruction of the world. The United States was primarily interested in changes in the balance of power in the Far East, tried to assess the possible outcomes of the conflict and how they would affect the United States itself (mainly in the economic sphere). But as the victory of the Chinese Communist Party, headed by Mao Zedong, approached the Kuomintang support from American experts weakened. The study of this information phenomenon will allow researchers to understand what impact on Sino-American relations was made by an influential American analytical magazine through the formation of ideas about China, the Chinese people and their political elites.

Traffic crashes cost society billions of dollars each year as a result of property damage, injuries, and fatalities. Additionally, traffic crashes have a negative impact on mobility, as they are a primary cause of non-recurring delay. With the Interstate 10 corridor between the ports of Los Angeles and Houston being one of the most vital links for goods movement across the United States, safety and mobility along this freeway, particularly for freight traffic, are of significant concern. This study, which utilized six years of crash data from the state of Arizona, explores factors affecting the frequency and severity of crashes along the Arizona portion of the I-10 corridor, with a particular focus on freight-related crashes. The safety performance along the I-10 is analyzed through the development of crash frequency and severity prediction models using integrated crash, roadway, traffic, and environmental data. Negative binomial and ordered logit models, with the incorporation of random parameters, were estimated to provide a detailed understanding of factors associated with freight-involved crashes and how they compare to non-freight crashes in terms of frequency and severity. The results showed that several roadway- crash-, vehicle-, and person-related variables were associated with the frequency and/or severity of crashes along the study corridor. These findings provide important insights which can be used to develop or plan countermeasures aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of freight travel, which may include new ITS technologies, and targeted educational and enforcement campaigns.

In this paper, I selectively review recent literature on illegal migration from Mexico to the United States. I begin by discussing methods for estimating stocks and flows of illegal migrants. While there is uncertainty about the size of the unauthorized population, new data sources make it possible to examine the composition of legal and illegal populations and the time-series covariates of illegal labor flows. I then consider the supply of and demand for illegal migrants. Wage differentials between the United States and Mexico are hardly a new phenomenon, yet illegal migration from Mexico did not reach high levels until recently. An increase in the relative size of Mexico's working-age population, greater volatility in U.S.–Mexico relative wages, and changes in U.S. immigration policies are all candidate explanations for increasing labor flows from Mexico. Finally, I consider policies that regulate the cross-border flow of illegal migrants. While U.S. laws mandate that authorities prevent illegal entry and punish firms that hire unauthorized immigrants, these laws are imperfectly enforced. Lax enforcement may reflect political pressure by employers and other interests that favor open borders.

This empirical research investigates state based factors affecting the inward FDI employment among fifty states of the United States, uses annual data for the period of time from 1997 to 2007 and identifies several state-specific determinants of FDI employment. The results indicate that the major factors exerting positive impact on inward US FDI employment are: real wages, infrastructure, unionization level, educational attainment, FDI stock and manufacturing density. In addition, the results show that gross state product growth rate, real per capita taxes and share of scientists and engineers have negative impact on FDI employment. Our findings indicate the importance of selected variables in evaluating the effects of FDI flow
