“…To eliminate conflicts with the local population, the mining company implements compensation projects [12] aimed at improving the living conditions of the local residents, reducing environmental pollution, supplying the population with necessary goods, providing medical care, etc. For each alternative project of the mining company, it is proposed to carry out a set of compensation projects [6], which requires the appropriate amount of funding and is regulated by a variety P ij (Table 2). An alternative option for the development of minerals refers to options for implementing a project in different territories or using different technologies.…”

The article discusses the issues of sustainable development of indigenous communities in the Arctic based on the optimization of projects of mining companies. The purpose of the article is to develop tools for decision-making to optimize the mining projects based on economic and mathematical models. The authors suppose that, by comparing and selecting different options for resource extraction, the use of various technologies and the impact of projects, the conditions of the traditional life of indigenous peoples, the preservation of health, it is possible to find a compromise solution for stakeholders. The case-study of Alrosa—a diamond giant mining in Yakutia is researched in the paper. To ensure sustainable development of traditional lands, it is proposed to optimize mining projects, in order to carry out a project maneuver during Arctic development. The project maneuver of the mining company makes it possible to choose the optimal solution from the existing alternatives for the extraction of minerals. The authors propose criteria and procedures for the selection of alternative options for the implementation of extractive projects. The alternative projects selected in this way make it possible to compensate to indigenous communities for the negative impact during industrial development of the Arctic.

“…A sociological study carried out in April 2020 on the impact the coronavirus pandemic made on life in the Arctic regions of Russia, during which 291 people from various Arctic federal subjects were interviewed, showed that difficulties and changes in the life of the population related to the deterioration in the quality of life affected 40.5% (59.5% of the respondents from among the indigenous peoples), job loss and lack of stable earnings 50%, and changes in work and life 48.4% (51.6% of the respondents belonging to indigenous peoples) [12]. In order to characterize the quality of the citizens' life and social stability, the concept of precarious employment should also be used [13].…”

— The article analyzes the indicators of the poverty level in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, and assesses the level of poverty and quality of life in the Arctic zone of Yakutia. The results of sociological studies on the level of poverty in the Arctic regions are presented as well as the measures for its reduction associated with addressing the problems of employment, increasing incomes of the population, and the development of traditional crafts.

“…Kuchler et al (2020) in their study pursue similar goals but study the possible directions of the spread of the coronavirus through the analysis of social connections in social networks. Sleptsov and Potravnaya (2020) focus on the social changes in the northern regions of Russia in connection with the pandemic. Morita et al (2020) analyze the social activity of urban residents and conduct a comparative assessment of changing behaviour patterns of urban residents due to quarantine restrictions.…”

Relevance. The spread of the coronavirus infection and the ensuing economic restrictions significantly influenced the main parameters of the socio-economic development of Russia and its territories, affecting the growth rate, production structure, territorial differentiation and competitiveness of Russian regions. Purpose of the study. The key goal of the study was to identify the socio-economic changes in the development of the country and its regions during the pandemic. Data and Methods. The analysis relies on open data on the socio-economic development of Russian regions for 2019–2021 (monthly, quarterly and annual periods), posted on the official website of Rosstat. Methodologically, the study is based on the comparative analysis of the data for the federal districts and their regions. Results. The study describes the main trends in the development of industry, trade, paid services, and investment potential and in the dynamics of unemployment and income in federal districts and regions. The first wave hit Russian regions the hardest due to the rigorous restrictions. Although no sharp recession was detected during the second wave, the stagnation in the key sectors persisted. The third wave is expected to have the same impact as the second. Conclusions. After the second wave subsided, there was a revival of economic activity in the spring of 2021. However, this has not turned into a steady trend yet. The coronavirus pandemic affected the competitiveness of regions. The importance of certain factors (including those related to resource potential) decreased during the pandemic, while the role of the competitive position of regions in the distribution of federal budget transfers increased.
