In this article a typology of Russian regional innovation systems is developed by the means of cluster analysis techniques. To achieve this goal, a system of indicators was created in line with two theoretical frameworks – concept of regional innovation systems (RIS) and theory of innovation barriers. As a result, five types of regions were identified: “metropolitan”, “innovators”, “industrial”, “

A particular concern of this paper is to observe the evolvement of such huge economy in transition as Russia. Russia’s aspiration to catch-up with economic development of Western countries makes her to apply similar strategies copying best practices. With help of cluster building Russian authorities aim at creation of innovation economy and distancing from dependency on natural resources. By looki

The recent geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West and the deconsolidation processes in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have recently sparked a debate on Russia’s foreign policy strategy.

As a social change, the sudden collapse of communism1 should well be remembered as one of the most formative events of the 20th century.

This paper examines the economic effects of German settlers on Imperial Russia’s transition to advanced industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Between 1763 and 1860, thousands of German migrants came to the country’s frontier regions, drawn by a state-sponsored settlement policy. Using accidental elements in German migration induced by policy, the paper demonstrates

The maximum limits of the Eurasian ice sheets during four glaciations have been reconstructed: (1) the Late Saalian (> 140 ka), (2) the Early Weichselian (100-80 ka), (3) the Middle Weichselian (60-50 ka) and (4) the Late Weichselian (25-15 ka). The reconstructed ice limits are based on satellite data and aerial photographs combined with geological field investigations in Russia and Siberia, and w

Ukraine’s recent success on the battlefield has encouraged discussion on potential changes to Russia’s political setup. While a new leader would be needed, more fundamental change would be required if the country is to embark on a path towards democracy. The key issue lies in Moscow’s relations with its periphery, an exploitative relationship that has persisted for centuries.The war in Ukraine has
