t. Theoretical approaches to the sustainable development of cities and towns in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are considered. As such approaches, the concept of a «green» smart city, the concept of thermal stress in an Arctic city, the concept of a «winter city», the concept of an Arctic base city, the concept of developing coastal Arctic settlements based on the principles of the blue economy (the economy of marine nature management and coastal zones), the concept of ensuring the vital activity of Arctic cities, etc. are analyzed. In addition, the contribution of Arctic cities to environmental pollution and climate change, socio-economic and demographic development of the Arctic zone is analyzed. The development of Arctic cities, especially single-industry towns and settlements is considered in the context of the Republic of Karelia, the Murmansk, Arkhangelsk Regions, the Komi Republic, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The main directions of sustainable development of Arctic cities and towns are substantiated from the point of view of achieving the target indicators of the “Strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and ensuring national security for the period up to 2035”.

Abstract. The article actualizes the need of foresight technologies in the sustainable development of strategic plans of sustainable development in rural municipalities at the level of the Russian Federation. It is pointed out that the modern methodology of foresight studies is quite flexible and multifaceted, has wide application at different hierarchical levels of management. The purpose of the study is to prove the need to use the foresight methodologies for rural development strategic planning and forecasting tool. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: strategic planning and forecasting, foresight technologies (expert survey and expert opinions), comparative analysis. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the formation of a set of practical recommendations on the use of foresight tools at the municipal level of management in rural areas. The systematic approach usage in combination with foresight technologies allows to develop strategic plans for the development in rural areas from the perspective of long-term improvement of their economic and social component. A brief analysis of the current state and development of foresight research in the Russian Federation is presented. It is concluded that in modern conditions of rural development it is necessary to develop strategic programs and anti-crisis measures that should focus on the application of the foresight technologies. It shows that the characteristic features of the rural municipal foresight are, on the one hand, the obligatory interconnection of strategic priorities for rural areas development in the long term and, on the other hand, the need to achieve the interest of key factors in regional development. Results of a research: the algorithm of strategic planning of sustainable development of rural areas of the region based on foresight technologies and the mechanism for its implementation at the municipal level are considered; strategic goals and priority areas for sustainable development of rural areas of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the sub-regional context were defined. On the basis of the foresight analysis, a three-level branding of agri-food products manufactured in the region was carried out, and brands within the considered rural municipalities were identified. It is concluded that foresight technologies should be used as the system tool for the formation and implementation of sustainable development strategy in rural areas of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Abstract The Russian policy towards the Arctic has changed in the last decade, the state and large firms are investing heavily in infrastructure, in the creation of new enterprises and the modernization of existing ones. But the northern nature is vulnerable, and the active development of extractive industries can lead to a crisis in the ecological situation. The development of the northern territories of the Russian Federation must meet the conditions of sustainable development, combine the growth of the economy, and the growth of incomes of the population, and the implementation of environmental restrictions. The purpose of this article is to develop methods for constructing windows of weak sustainability based on the construction of socio-ecological and economic models of the regions of the European North, and to study the possibilities of their sustainable development. The studies were carried out in four regions of the European North, which are fully or partially included in the Arctic zone of Russia - the republics of Karelia and Komi, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions. Models have been built linking economic, environmental and social indicators. The methodology for calculating windows of weak sustainability for the regional economy is presented. The possibility of its use on the data of the Republic of Karelia has been demonstrated. The results obtained can be used as an information and methodological basis for assessing and developing a policy for sustainable development of the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation.

ABSTRACTOver a period of 70 years, the lifestyles and belief systems of indigenous Siberian peoples were transformed by Soviet policy, based on the idea of assimilation and homogenisation of the peoples in its territory, in compliance with the idea of a ‘people's friendship’. The fall of the Soviet Union has given people the opportunity to rebuild their identity, as well as to provide a means of cultural revival for each ethnic community. The case study of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in northern Siberia shows a new relationship, already started during perestroika and developing between the Russian Federation and its peoples. This relationship favours the development of each people's culture within the broader context of their integration into Russian society. The issue of the instrumentalisation of indigenous peoples’ cultural and religious heritage is part of a broader picture of a global affirmation of peoples’ indigenousness. The identification of ethnic Sakha (Yakuts) with other northern peoples is a means of entering the international political arena, pushing far away the geopolitical and cultural boundaries imposed by the Russian Federation and highlighting the idea of a circumpolar civilisation.

The National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, defined by the decree of the President (2020), corresponding to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. The Russian Federation conducts systematic work to implement SDG, including Goal 4, “Quality education”. The article presents a brief outline of the history of the created in 1970 Scientific Council on environmental education of the Russian Academy of Education (previously it was called Problem Council on informal environmental education of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR), the main directions of its activities and contribution to the SDG through the development of scientific and methodological support of environmental education (in contemporary wording, of the environmental education for sustainable development). With the participation of members of the Scientific Council, federal and regional textbooks on sustainable development for secondary and higher schools were published, and several monographs and dissertations were prepared. Issues of environmental protection and sustainable development are included in federal state educational standards. The Concept of general environmental education for sustainable development is prepared. The Interregional network partnership “Learning to live sustainably in a global world” is functioning. Currently, designing of the national set of SDG 4 indicators, and, particularly, an indicator 4.7.1 related to training in sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, is on the way.

Introduction. The regions of Russia are not only heterogeneous in terms of the current state but also differ in the prevailing trends in the key parameters of their future development. Some of them, possessing significant economic potential, risk losing stability due to ongoing social processes and vice versa. The purpose of the study is to assess the sustainable development of the Russian Federation regions, to identify typical regions, including implementation of the main priority of the Spatial Development Strategy of Russia until 2025 — to uncover the socio-economic potential of the territories and their sustainable development through economic specialisation regions.Methods. In the framework of solving the problem of choosing typical regions of Russia according to the level of sustainability of socio-economic development, we formed a database of indicators for the period from 2010 to 2016. The 8th indicators describe the financial and economic component of development, the social component — by the 14th indicators, the environmental one — by the 3rd indicators. The ranking of regions was carried out in three stages — the consideration of particular indicators, their unification into groups and the study of generalised values. For the identification of typical regions, we applied the clustering method.Results. Approbation of the approach showed that the high position of the region in one of the considered areas of analysis does not always correlate with the level in other indicators. The magnitude of the dispersion in general increases with the transition from the leading regions to the outside regions. Cluster analysis revealed four groups of regions. The first cluster is characterised by the predominance of the economic component. The second cluster is characterised by the absence of a significant imbalance between the directions. The third cluster is characterised by better dynamics of financial and economic indicators against the background of relatively good positions in the social and environmental spheres. The fourth cluster is represented by subjects of the Russian Federation, in which there are significant results in the field of improving the environmental component. Based on the cluster analysis, typical regions were selected — the Republic of Ingushetia, the Samara Region, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Vladimir Region, respectively.Discussion. The obtained results can be applied when making a forecast of the socio-economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation and indicators of their sustainability in the medium term.
