“…However, according to Russian experts these expectations might turn out to be exaggerated. The main limitations for the inflow of investment through TORs and the "free port" regime are an overly complicated system for the support of investment projects, and an excessively large number of TORs [4,8].…”

The authors review trends of economic development of the Russian Far East during 2010-2017, study the response of the national and regional economies to the crisis of 2014, and analyze the conditions and problems that exist in the main sectors of the region's economy. We demonstrate that there were no significant structural changes in the Far East's economy and industrial potential remains the region's chief strategic resource. We note that growth stability in the mining sector almost entirely depends on foreign demand and exchange rate stability, while processing industries depend heavily on domestic Russian demand, which has been degrading recently in its private component while public demand has been mostly stable. We show that remaining complications in access to foreign sources of capital and technologies make uncertain the future growth of the region's economy as a whole.

“…He also points out that instead of conducting a thorough analysis of the reasons for the apparent success or failure of these projects, federal authorities chose to imitate frenzied activity by establishing more and more new zones. Each time they expected that the new instruments for supporting residents of these zones would be more successful than before [24].…”

Comparative analysis of operational frameworks of special economic areas in Russia

There are fourteen types of special economic areas currently operating in Russia, with different federal ministries actively lobbying and then supervising the establishment of this or that type. We compare operational frameworks in different types of such areas, placing an emphasis on the areas of priority socio-economic development, which are now being established in closed towns, monotowns and the Far East. Unfortunately, Russia's special economic areas are often criticized for their inefficacy due to the lack of systemic approach on the federal level and the conflict of interests between the key stakeholders (residents, municipalities, local companies, and local communities). Goals of regional development do not correlate with the national priorities and strategic goals. Another problem is inconsistent managerial decision-making both on the part of regional authorities and management of large enterprises. No clear, justified criteria are established to evaluate the areas' progress and no threshold values are specified. Although there is a significant concentration of special areas within certain regions, there is no integral, coordinated program or plan of action. Thus, synergetic interaction between the stakeholders is impossible. The existing procedure of establishing special areas takes into account neither the level of development of their host regions nor the quality of their development potential. These problems can be addressed through a regional industrial policy designed on the basis of the industrial-synergetic approach. Such approach makes it possible not only to focus on institutions of development and institutional transformations but also to take into account phase transformations and structural transformations in the system of areas of priority socio-economic development. The resulting organizational mechanism will be able to adjust to external uncertainties and, together with the system-forming factors, will enhance socio-economic development both on the regional and national level.

“…and some acanthocephalans (e.g. Polymorphus phippsi and Corynosoma strumosum ) circulate successfully both in the high Arctic and in the coastal ecosystems of lower latitudes (Threlfall, 1968, 1971; Leonov & Belogurov, 1970; Leonov et al ., 1970; Bishop & Threlfall, 1974; Leonov, 1979; Bakke, 1985; Galkin et al ., 1994; Kuklin & Kuklina, 2005, 2013; Regel & Atrashkevich, 2008). At the same time, some species of cestodes and acanthocephalans do disappear, similarly to trematodes, in the higher latitudes because of the absence, or a low density, of intermediate hosts.…”

“…For these reasons, crustaceans, especially amphipods, are an important component of the seabird diet (Belopolsky & Shuntov, 1980; Lydersen et al ., 1989; Mehlum & Gabrielsen, 1993; Węsławski et al ., 1994). This means that seabirds in the Arctic are quite heavily infected with cestodes and acanthocephalans, which use crustaceans as intermediate hosts (Baer, 1956, 1962; Threlfall, 1968, 1971; Leonov & Belogurov, 1970; Leonov et al ., 1970; Bishop & Threlfall, 1974; Galaktionov et al ., 1993; Galaktionov, 1996a, b; Kuklin, 2001; Kuklin & Kuklina, 2005; Kuklin et al ., 2005).

Patterns and processes influencing helminth parasites of Arctic coastal communities during climate change

This review analyses the scarce available data on biodiversity and transmission of helminths in Arctic coastal ecosystems and the potential impact of climate changes on them. The focus is on the helminths of seabirds, dominant parasites in coastal ecosystems. Their fauna in the Arctic is depauperate because of the lack of suitable intermediate hosts and unfavourable conditions for species with freeliving larvae. An increasing proportion of crustaceans in the diet of Arctic seabirds would result in a higher infection intensity of cestodes and acanthocephalans, and may also promote the infection of seabirds with non-specific helminths. In this way, the latter may find favourable conditions for colonization of new hosts. Climate changes may alter the composition of the helminth fauna, their infection levels in hosts and ways of transmission in coastal communities. Immigration of boreal invertebrates and fish into Arctic seas may allow the circulation of helminths using them as intermediate hosts. Changing migratory routes of animals would alter the distribution of their parasites, facilitating, in particular, their trans-Arctic transfer. Prolongation of the seasonal 'transmission window' may increase the parasitic load on host populations. Changes in Arctic marine food webs would have an overriding influence on the helminths' circulation. This process may be influenced by the predicted decreased of salinity in Arctic seas, increased storm activity, coastal erosion, ocean acidification, decline of Arctic ice, etc. Greater parasitological research efforts are needed to assess the influence of factors related to Arctic climate change on the transmission of helminths.
