Brief analysis of some of the most important problems and trends in Russia’s social-political development, including its regional dimension. If the government is smart, it can adjust to objective realities, for example, by reversing the “Center-Regions” pendulum swing toward the regions, and maximizing its benefits. A less smart government would try to resist objective processes and, like a miser, would end up paying twice, if only there is something left in the treasury to pay. If not, another government will come to replace the one currently in power.

Объектами культурной политики являются наиболее ...

It has always been peculiar to evolutionists to compare social and biological evolution, the latter as visualized by Charles Darwin.1 But it also seems possible and correct to draw an analogy with another great discovery in the field of evolutionary biology, with the homologous series of Nikolay Vavilov (1921; 1927; 1967). However, there is no ...
