ABSTRACT This article considers the institutional trust of Russia’s humanitarian intelligentsia, describes its underlying qualities, characterizes the structure of institutional trust, reveals the essence and prerequisites of its occurrence, and analyzes the elements of institutional structure. The intelligentsia demonstrates a very high level of trust in the Russian president, but the attitudes and motives of this trust differ significantly (the difference between true supporters and passive observers). Trust in the military reflects the intelligentsia’s recognition of its merits and role in ensuring the security of the state. Complete trust in the church indicates the intelligentsia’s identification with its values and goals. The intelligentsia’s low level of trust in political institutions is part of a contemporary international trend—a sense of injustice, the belief that things will not improve, and incredulity about the future undermine trust in the state. Trust of the police and the courts is low, largely due to widespread prejudice, low awareness of their activities, and rare interactions with them. The intelligentsia’s trust in television and the press is very limited; however, television remains the main source of news, while an important alternative is the Internet. The low level of institutional trust among members of the humanitarian intelligentsia is combined with conservatism, paternalism, and civic and political passivity, and is more likely an indication of disappointment and alienation than an active criticism of Russian institutions.

ABSTRACT The article describes vigilantism among young people in contemporary Russia, characterizes the individuals predisposed to this behavior, and presents the objective and subjective factors of vigilantism. Higher rates of violence in a society are an objective condition of vigilantism. Having considered the factors of vigilantism, the article offers several measures for lowering its prevalence among Russian young people.

ABSTRACT According to the Bank of Russia (BR), Russia has been a large net creditor to the rest of the world for the last two decades. In this period, however, the rest of the world’s net indebtedness to Russia has seen almost no increase. This article provides an explanation for this paradox: The net lending in Russia’s official balance of payments (BP) was to a large degree ephemeral, and several provisions in the methodology of these balances are debatable. The article also studies questions connected to the extremely low yields of Russia’s external investments, and it pays special attention to the divergence between the Bank of Russia’s and Eurostat’s statistics for direct investments between Russia and the European Union (EU). Based on the latest statistics constructed on the directional principle, it is shown that as compared to Eurostat, the Bank of Russia greatly inflates the volume of Russian direct investment into the EU and understates the scale of illegal capital flight from Russia. Finally, the article comes to the conclusion that some of the funds that the BR includes in Russia’s foreign direct investment (FDI) into the EU are considered by Eurostat to be capital irreversibly withdrawn from Russia. It also assesses the amount of Russian investment that makes round trips from “Russia EU special-purpose entities Russia.”

ABSTRACT The article discusses the features of the new version of the “State Program for the Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Agricultural Products, Raw Materials, and Food Markets,” which was developed as a pilot program based on project management principles. An analysis is given of the shortcomings of the State Program in terms of its target block and structure. A risk assessment of its implementation is provided. The author argues that the systemic deficiencies of the State Program, and of Russia’s entire federal program framework, are caused by the frequent revision of the regulatory framework used to develop, implement, and assess the effectiveness of government programs.

ABSTRACT Russia’s rapid transition from a closed to an open economy occurred at the beginning of the post-Soviet period and within the Soviet framework of production. This resulted in the deindustrialization of the Russian economy, which has had many negative effects, including capital flight, the loss of manufacturing, and an increase in the import of manufactured products. This article considers the primary challenges to the reindustrialization of the Russian economy, and argues that this process must involve government subsidies, especially for the creation of vertically integrated interindustry corporations (VIICs). VIICs have long production-technology chains that begin with the extractive industries and end with process manufacturing enterprises. The creation of VIICs and the introduction of new technology will make Russian manufactured products more competitive both domestically and internationally. The problems facing Russian manufacturing and the ways in which VIICs can help address these problems are analyzed on the basis of five groups of producers: 1) the key producers of investment mechanical engineering; 2) the industry producers of investment mechanical engineering; 3) producers of manufactured products intended for industrial consumption; 4) producers of consumer goods; and 5) the producers of high-tech durable goods.

The Chinese government developed the concept of the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB), which was later combined with the Maritime Silk Road of the Twenty-First Century under the name One Road, One Belt. This concept became the foundation of China’s new external strategy for the near-term perspective. Within the One Road, One Belt concept, the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative facilitates the implementation of the eastern vector of development for our country and for other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The One Road, One Belt concept is a Chinese initiative consisting of integrated projects for creation of the Silk Road Economic Belt and Maritime Silk Road of the Twenty-First Century. The concept was first announced by President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping in 2013 during visits to Indonesia and the countries of Central Asia. In addition, political documents, for example, the plan for socioeconomic development to 2015 and the report on the work of the government, list the construction of the One Belt, One Road as one of the important objectives of China’s new government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yi emphasized that the implementation of this initiative will become the focus of China’s foreign policy in 2015. It was also confirmed that this huge project will be included in the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, which will be adopted in 2016. The essence of China’s initiative is to search for, form, and advance a new model for international cooperation and development. This will be accomplished by reinforcing existing regional bilateral and multilateral mechanisms and collaborative structures in which China is a participant. According to China’s official data, One Road, One Belt covers most of Eurasia and

ABSTRACT The subject of this article is currencies for international settlements. The world has seen the emergence of demand for alternatives to the dollar and euro. However, minimal transaction cost remains the main property of a vehicle currency, and China’s ambition to internationalize the yuan is reevaluated in this context. Moreover, yuan settlements primarily handle China’s payments for imports in its national currency. Russia is one of the countries for which the currency is underutilized in its own foreign trade payments. The risks emerging from geopolitical conflicts and Russia’s integrating role in the Eurasian region will facilitate an increase in ruble settlements. It is in the national interest to create a SWIFT-independent system of internal interbank transfers in foreign currencies and to finish the transition to cross-border settlements in rubles within the Eurasian Economic Union in particular.
