-Article presents the results of the Russian Federation household distribution by equivalent income in the form of stratification scale. Household equivalent incomes are estimated by authors using equivalence scales. Based on the research, the following conclusions are made. In almost all regions most households belong to the second group, which is considered to be the lower-middle class. The proportion differs throughout the regions, but on average it is 40% from the whole sample. Only in Moskovskaya oblast and Moscow city, most of households are in the third group which can be called the middle class. In the majority of Russian regions, the proportion of households below the relative poverty line is less than 10%. Median equivalent income of households belonging to poor in terms of relative poverty does not exceed the subsistence minimum in the regions of the Central Federal District. The results can be used in the development and implementation of public policies aiming at overcoming poverty and improving the quality of life of the population of the Russian Federation.
The experience of predesign inspection of the territory put under impact of future open pit is observed in the article. Geobotanical researches were carried out and populations of two plant species included in the Red Book of the Kemerovo region were found: Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer and Epipactis helleborine (L.) Grantz. Conservation of G. uralensis was carried out by “in situ” method – by transfer on other natural habitat. Individuals of E. helleborine were transferred at the territory of the Kuzbass botanical garden. Two years' observations of populations’ condition have shown successful growth of all individuals. These methods of conservation of rare plant populations are recommended by Project of UNDP-GEF for implementation at the industrial enterprises.
