In this article, based on official statistics 2000–2017, we argue that neoliberal policies have neglected the Russian North: its people, its enterprises and its territories have been expelled from core social and economic processes.

Сделано в СССР: материализация нового мира
Фокин А. А., М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2026.
The Soviet project existed not merely in slogans: it was materialized in metal, plastic, paper,sound, and rituals. This collection demonstrates how material objects and infrastructuresserved as mediators between the state, society, and everyday life—ranging from theelectrification drive and the dream of a unified power grid to the humble ballot and ballotbox, from “Muzprom” to a children’s toy, from a homemade board game to a vodka label. What were the roles, networks, and practices of production, consumption, and exchangethrough which the material system of the USSR was created and reproduced? The historians, anthropologists, and art historians whose contributions make up this volumeinvite us to see material things as full‑fledged participants in political, aesthetic, and socialprocesses. These processes explain why certain technologies became symbols of thefuture, others reinforced civic rituals, and still others have returned today to museums, fleamarkets, and television shows. ...
