Abstract:This article substantiates the need for a gender-sensitive approach to research on the economic behavior of inhabitants of the Arctic in the context of the region's industrial development. The article also emphasizes one category of the economic behavior of the indigenous peoples of the North as a separate subject of research in the field of economic sociology. The purpose of the article is the development of a model of economic behavior of the residents of the Arctic in the context of industrial development in the region based on the use of methods of sociological research. The paper presents findings of research carried out in areas of the Russian Arctic where industrialization is underway, as well as the findings of a gender-sensitive survey focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the indigenous peoples. The principal characteristics and trends of male and female economic behavior under conditions of industrial development of the Arctic have been defined from a gender-sensitive perspective by means of an example of the Arctic areas of the Sakha Republic (Iakutiia).The article offers gender-sensitive mechanisms for managerial decision making and the elimination of gender inequality in view of findings of sociological surveys in the framework of ethnic expert study and ethnosocial monitoring of the projects, as well as the development of programs of social and economic development of the region with reference to the opinions and preferences of women and men.

Abstract:The purpose of this article is to use questionnaires and interviews to gain insight into how the young generation in Kazakhstan perceives images with traditional overtones. Respondents were exposed to images of female figures with Central Asian facial features dressed in traditional Kazakh clothing, a male hunter holding a golden eagle, and a nomad's tent set against the backdrop of a steppe landscape. These images of pre-Soviet nomadic life—preliminarily designated by the interviewees as traditional Kazakh images—may serve as further attestation to "localization" by means of distancing from Soviet-era symbols. Qualitative and quantitative analysis are used to reveal the attitude of Generation Y individuals toward these images with Kazakh traditional overtones. Research analysis is used to map the preference of Kazakhstani youth as a response to the nationalization policy of the Nazarbayev regime. The findings lead to the important discovery that Kazakhstani cultural representation, which is essentially based on Kazakh pre-Soviet ethnic representation, is nonetheless shared by Kazakhstani youth of varying ethnicities.

Abstract:This article aims to explain the causes (in particular, the motives and objectives of Russia's actions) of the Ukrainian conflict from a decolonization perspective and its impact on Eurasian interstate and West-Russia relations. Russia's positioning in Eurasian decolonization is identified as "defensive." This defensive position as a postimperial metropole has been constructed by combining its "semiperipheral" status within the liberal international order with the assertiveness of a "neocolonial" power challenged by "post-colonial" independent countries in Eurasia. To a certain extent, the annexation of Crimea was merely an illegitimate settlement of disputes over property rights between two countries, in that the seizure of Crimea occurred in a combination of several factors at various levels. As a result, the motives and objectives of a Russian invasion can be regarded as neither a challenge to the whole post–Cold War European order nor irredentism to reclaim the territory of the Soviet empire. Consequently, post-Crimea development could herald the closing stage of the historical period called the post-Soviet era as the period of Eurasian decolonization.

Abstract:Since the early 1990s, the reduction of border barriers has been seen as urgently necessary for the economic development of the Russian Far East. However, these intentions have been constantly weighed against the need to ensure the national security interests, which, in turn, involve restricting the free movement of people. These decisions have affected the way of life in border areas, which have more and more come to resemble economic deserts. Surprisingly though, confronted by a dearth of alternatives, very bad infrastructure, and other problems, residents of border areas have not only not sought to make changes but in fact have frequently even insisted on maintaining restrictions. The present article aims to explain this situation. It focuses on the discourses and practices of national security that influence perceptions of freedoms, and in turn, claims that securitized everyday perceptions of freedoms can affect economic development.

Abstract:In 2009, Old Believer families began immigrating from South America to Primorskii Krai through the Resettlement of Compatriots Program. Their bright, traditional clothing, rural lifestyle, and mannerisms have enamored many, including a group of compatriots advocates in Moscow, who have decided to lobby for additional state support on the Old Believers' behalf. In Primorskii Krai, though, conflict has arisen between the Old Believers, the local government, and villagers. Officials from Moscow have intervened in support of the Old Believers, exacerbating tensions between central and regional authorities. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article explores the conflict and compatriots advocates' efforts to attract Old Believers from abroad to the Far East. I argue that the advocates' interest in the Old Believers comes out of racialized anxieties about demographic changes along Russia's border with China. By supporting the Old Believers, advocates envision a rural Russian past as an alternative to a post-Soviet present.
