“…Russia is one of the world's largest producers of oil and gas and is a major exporter to Europe and elsewhere (Goodrich, ). The majority of the Soviet Union's energy resources (90%) are located in remote northern and eastern parts of the country, leading in the past to the creation of Soviet mono‐towns that formed around a single energy company (Kryukova, Vetrova, Maloletko, Kaurova, & Dusenko, ). They provided a social economic and industrial infrastructure, in order to meet the needs of local residents most of whose families were employed in one form or another by the company.…”

This empirical paper examines the drivers underpinning changes to socially responsible behaviours in the Russian energy sector. Responding to recent requests to contextualise corporate social responsibility (CSR) research, we focus on the changing set of stakeholders and developments in their saliency as reflected in corporations' CSR activities. Based on interviews with more than 30 industry professionals, our findings suggest that Russian energy companies' CSR is strongly stakeholder-driven, and organisations adapt their activities according to their dependence on the resources that these salient stakeholders possess.We challenge the proposition that CSR in Russia arises from purely endogenous, historical, paternalism, or neo-paternalism. We identify stakeholders that now shape CSR in the Russian energy sector, both endogenous (institutional and contextual forces relevant to the national business system) and exogenous (relating to the organisational field of the energy industry-international by nature). We thereby contribute to the convergence/divergence debate within CSR theory by demonstrating that both national business systems and the organisational field must be taken into account when analysing the forces that shape CSR strategies in any one country.

“…Но важно опираться для его оценки на ряд значимых показателей: уровень осознания обществом базовых потребностей, уровень приемлемости методов удовлетворения своих нужд и распределения благ, степень потребностей индивидуумов в отношении прочих благ, оценку функционирования социальных и государственных институтов, объем требований к институциональным структурам в отношении методов осуществления потребностей и квотирования благ. Данные индикаторы дают возможность отразить отношение всех социальных групп к своим потребностям и социальным институтам [10]. Все это сопровождается эмоциональным накалом, субъективным содержанием, что тоже нельзя не учитывать при исследовании качества жизни вопроса.…”

A single-industry town, or monotown, is a socio-economic system that possesses specific goals and functions as vectors of its development. In this connection, relatively new social requirements appear along with the traditional evolutionary factors. These new requirements involve conditions for the formation of human capital assets, the level of sociocultural infrastructure, the quality of urban communities, and the degree of development of communications. Therefore, the list of strategic criteria for the development of single-industry towns should include indicators of the quality of the social sphere and the quality of life of the population. The research develops evaluation approaches based on identification of the concept and definition of the structural components of the urban social sphere. The paper proposes methods for forecasting the level of the social infrastructure of a single-industry city. The study features the case of Shakhty, a large mining community in the Rostov region. The research defines the necessity for monitoring the dynamics of the development of the social sphere in single-industry towns, formulates groups of criteria for effectiveness management, summarizes the principles of their scaling, and provides recommendations for evaluation of the socio-economic development level. An analysis of the dynamics of the social sphere development in a single-industry town should become an adequate non-ideological integral social and economic criterion for the effectiveness and efficiency of municipal management.
