Abstract. This article presents an analysis of the implementation results of the Far East Demographic Policy Concept through 2025, broken down by demographic parameters (population, total fertility rate, life expectancy, and all-cause mortality). It is shown that forecast values were not achieved for all indicators. The deviations in actual results from planned ones are largely due to the effects of the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in a sharp increase in mortality and a decrease in life expectancy in 2020–2021. Among the Far Eastern territories, the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) emerged as the most effective region, with the gap between planned and actual indicators being minimal. The new Strategy for Demographic Policy for the Far East through 2030 and into 2036, adopted by the Government of the Russian Federation in February 2026, was reviewed. This demonstrates the continued national priority of socioeconomic development in the Far Eastern macroregion, where demography is a key focus. The new Strategy sets the strategic goal of maintaining demographic potential at the 2023 level, which entails developing existing and implementing new demographic development tools.

Abstract. This article analyzes the tax return from the forest resource exploration in the forest regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, using both absolute and specific indicators for the economic activity «Wood Processing and Wood Product Manufacturing.» The paper reveals that local budgets are primary recipients of tax revenue, mainly due to the individual income tax. The Primorsky Kray and the Khabarovsk Kray lead by absolute indicators within the district structure, although regions with lowest timber harvesting volumes lead by specific indicators. The study concludes that despite the ongoing policy to stimulate technological development and production of value-added products, the tax return on the process is still modest, as the income tax plays an insignificant role in tax revenues. Under current conditions, demand for processed products remains a problem: the reduction in external demand due to sanctions is not offset by weak domestic demand. It is becoming necessary to introduce modern technologies to explore forest resources to produce competitive products with high added value.

Abstract. State policy for the socio-economic development of the Russian Far East at the present stage is aimed at achieving the goals of scientific and technological development of the macro region. The main problem to be addressed is the low level of development of its own institutions for generating new scientific knowledge that is in demand in practice. Replenishment of the extremely insignificant flows of intellectual activity results directed into the sphere of economically efficient production and sales is possible in various ways, each of which requires careful consideration. The first and most obvious direction is to bring the recognized results of academic science of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences to the stage of practical application and commercialization. This task can be addressed by creating an engineering center directly oriented toward the needs of enterprises in the macro region. However, given the relatively small volume of research conducted, this alone will be insufficient for the large-scale emergence of new technology companies. The experience of the research and production center in the Sakhalin Region, which implements the full scientific and technological cycle within a small company by incorporating advanced technological developments from the country's leading scientific center, appears worthy of replication. This model for organizing high-tech production relies on a continuously updated source of new knowledge, technologies, and competencies from the leading university in the country and, furthermore, includes a regional scientific and educational institution in scientific and production cooperation, which significantly expands the prospects and opportunities for mastering new knowledge and technologies.

Abstract. The article presents the results of a pilot project to release a series of Nanai Literature textbooks for general education institutions, which was implemented in Khabarovsk Krai as a part of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032). This project was carried out from 2022 to 2025 and is linked to the national project «Youth of Russia». The relevance of the study is also confirmed by the decision of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to declare 2026 the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The objective of the study is to examine the needs of indigenous peoples of Khabarovsk Krai for modern textbooks on their native languages and literature and the prospects for using these textbooks to educate young indigenous peoples as a factor in maintaining their traditional residence. This article presents the analysis of the work undertaken by a team of authors during the development of these teaching aids. It identifies challenges in implementing this project, which paves the way for the development of similar teaching aids on the literature of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Russian Far East. It also highlights the need to develop a number of provisions in the light of the expanding list of national projects, particularly the «Youth of Russia» project. The author also analyzes the number of young people from among the indigenous peoples of Khabarovsk Krai and presents a brief analysis of the situation, which has allowed to identify problematic issues in preserving the distinctive national culture of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East. The results of the research may be useful for making decisions about the development of educational and methodological support for the study of the native languages of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East.

Abstract. The study analyses the regional insurance market of the Khabarovsk Kray. Nowadays there is a significant contracting trend among insurance companies due to modern economic conditions in the country as well as negative trends of local insurance markets development because of both low financial capacity and gross loss of insurance activity. The paper aims at analysing the regional insurance market of the Khabarovsk Kray and evaluating its future-to-be development. The study underlines how insurance markets and insurance relationship are important for the regional economy due to its compensating function lessening losses of risky activities. It is worth saying that advanced national economies explore their insurance companies as large investors making them partners of significant investment projects. To minimize the negative trend it is, firstly, necessary to determine factors having a minus effect on both the insurance activity and the demand for insurance services by individuals and legal entities. Considering perspectives of the Khabarovsk Kray insurance market development one should keep in mind its geo-economic position, its transboundary relations with one of the largest economies in the world – China, in particular. The research results are of great value to develop a regional strategy for the insurance market to meet the demand of the population and businesses in qualified insurance services and products.

Abstract. Algorithms for formulating strategies for the development of socio-economic systems, known as strategy schools, were developed in the past century and have been largely adapted to modern conditions. However, the rapid growth of data tobe considered when developing a strategy, as well as the structural uncertainty and external and internal environmental factors'strength create problems and require applying new technologies, particularly those associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The study aims at identifying ways of applyingthe AI in the process of formulating an organizational development strategy by constructing a decision matrix based on the analysis of external and internal environmental factors. The paper employed the systemic approach and the research content analysis bycomparingand synthesizing researches, a decision-making algorithm, a method of constructing morphological matrices and building graphical models, as well as methods of human and AI interaction.The article examines procedures ofdesigning an organizational development strategy by applying artificial intelligence at the stage of identifying strategically significant decisions. The study explores the stages of formulating an organizational development strategy based on the SWOT analyticalresults, focusing on identifying the most significant external environmental factors and the organization's own resources. The research highlights advantages and disadvantages of several approaches to be considered to develop an organizational stratagem by AI. The data derived a strategy algorithm underlining the role of a decision matrix, the AI basing on relevant requests and adjustment by strategy developers determining the latter. Moreover, the decision matrix's obtains no limitationsbecause ofstrategy developers'mental abilities due to the involvement of the AI in the process. The study reveals some issues requiring further discussion within the framework of strategy theories and having their own strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract. This article addresses the issue of modeling entrepreneurial activity. A constructivist approach to studying the phenomenon of entrepreneurship is proposed, and the features of the constructivist methodology, which is rooted in the English empiricism of Berkeley and Hume, German classical philosophy of Kant, American pragmatism of W. James, and 20th-century analytical philosophy, are described. In constructivism, knowledge is viewed as an activity-based process in which individuals actively construct their surrounding world in their consciousness. Knowledge represents a holistic and systemic construct that fundamentally cannot claim to be true but can only be sufficiently relevant to the environment and the tasks facing the cognizing subject. The application of elements of constructivism in various fields of economic theory is analyzed. Five main theses of the constructivist approach to modeling entrepreneurial activity are formulated.

Abstract. The technological transformation of the forest sector, the introduction of digital technologies as well as the shift in state policy priorities towards sustainable development demands reconsideration of approaches towards evaluating the effectiveness of management systems in forestry organizations. The aim of this article is to study the conceptual and categorical framework of efficiency theory and to determine the criteria evolution for the effectiveness of management systems in relation to the features of forestry activities. Being based on a systematic approach, as well as on methods of analysis and synthesis, the study clarifies the content of basic categories («costs,» «result,» «effect,» «efficiency») considering the long biological cycles and multi-purpose nature of the forest management. The definitions of a criterion (a qualitative attribute) and an indicator (a quantitative measure) of efficiency are distinguished in the article. The authors conduct retrospective analysis of the evolution in the Russian researchers' views on efficiency in forestry, taking into account the context of changing technological paradigms (from the 3rd to the 6th). The factors determining both the efficiency of organizations and their management systems at each historical stage are systematized. It is established that the modern stage (the 6th technological paradigm) is characterized by polyparadigmality, requiring the management system to simultaneously ensure operational efficiency, digital maturity, strategic orientation towards ESG principles and adaptability to change. In conclusion, it is established that forming a unified assessment system in modern conditions is methodologically hard and it is necessary to integrate various management concepts. The significance of the study's results for government agencies lies in the need to rethink traditional management approaches and develop a unified system for assessing forestry management effectiveness based on a combination of various approaches. Forestry organizations may find the study's results useful in developing management systems, taking into account the factors influencing performance.

Abstract. This article examines social architecture as a field of social theory and applied sociology that emerged at the intersection of concepts of social engineering, social technology, forecasting, and civic participation. Theoretical and methodological basis of the concept is consistently presented, its relationship with the related approaches - social design, political technologies, sociology of architecture and urbanism. Based on the approaches considered, definition of the concept of social architecture was proposed, as well as its key conceptual elements. Successful cases of implementation of federal projects aimed at creating value-rich strategies for the development of institutions, practices and spaces of interaction are presented. Based on the experience of the Khabarovsk territory in supporting and developing the institution of territorial public self-government and the socially oriented non-profit organizations, transformation of civil subjectivity of the region's residents, as well as the dynamics of long-term changes in the social well-being of the region's population and a level of trust in the authorities as a factor in the migration moods of residents in the region. This reputational effect works to attract active people focused on development, and investors who value the predictability of institutions, which gradually changes qualitative composition of the civil asset of the region, and also forms migration attractiveness of the region. Experience of the region shows that implementation of socio-architectural logic at the regional level through the support of local (point) projects forms the image of the future region, which, in turn, acts as a factor in creating a level of trust in the authorities and adjusting the migration moods of the region's residents.

Abstract. This article presents an analysis of the living space marginalization processes in the cities of the Far East of Russia, which represents a specific form of socio-spatial exclusion. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a comprehensive approach towards analyzing living space marginalization, considering the specific features of the Far Eastern region, and in creating the typology of marginalized living spaces. The aim of the study is to identify the mechanisms and features of the living space marginalization in Far Eastern cities and to develop a typology of marginalized living spaces in order to formulate scientifically based approaches to their reintegration into the urban structure. The study draws on data from a comprehensive analysis of transformation processes affecting the barracks housing, Khrushchev-era microdistricts and abandoned residential buildings located in Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, and Yakutsk. The paper identifies the mechanisms of marginalization, particularly economic deprivation, infrastructure degradation, and the social stigmatization of spaces. Empirical studies have been conducted in the region's largest cities: Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk and Yakutsk, each having their own unique features in historical, cultural and socioeconomic contexts. The article describes the mechanisms of marginalization, based on structural, spatial, social, and institutional factors. It has been found out that structural factors are linked with macroeconomic processes and the nature of regional policy. Key spatial factors include geographic location, transport accessibility and the quality of the urban environment, which influence the appeal of the territories for investment and residence. Social factors, conditioned by migration, social mobility and identity formation, influence the social structure of these territories and perpetuate the model of social exclusion.

Abstract. In the context of the need to strengthen scientific sovereignty and intensifying global competition for intellectual capital, the mechanisms for implementing social partnership within scientific institutions are gaining key importance. The article examines the mechanism of integration of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into the internal social responsibility (SR) management system of a scientific institution. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that DEI principles, when critically reinterpreted and adapted to Russian socio-cultural and managerial context, can be organically integrated into the management of the internal SR of a scientific organization. The methodological basis includes a theoretical analysis of key concepts (social responsibility, internal social partnership, DEI principles), a historical and institutional analysis of the prerequisites for internal partnership in Russian science, and a critical review of international experience in implementing DEI. The article proposes a concept for integrating DEI principles into the internal SR of a scientific institution, based on the integration of these approaches, aimed at transitioning from fragmented measures to a model of internal social partnership. It is shown that such integration enables the updating and modernization of the positive elements of historically established practices of scientific collectivism, without reducing the process to the mechanical adoption of Western management templates. The article proves that the formation of an internal ecosystem based on the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion facilitates talent retention, strengthens research integrity and enhances the competitiveness of Russian scientific institutions. The scientific novelty of the study lies in interpreting DEI principles as a management tool that transforms a scientific institution's human resources policy into a platform for internal social partnership.

Abstract. This article presents the results of a sociological study on the migration attitudes of immigrants from the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Chelyabinsk region. While migration from Northern Kazakhstan to the Southern Urals plays a significant role in compensating for population decline, the attitudes of migrants, their motivations, and integration trajectories remain insufficiently studied. The aim of the research is to identify the main trajectories and motivations for relocation, determine the migration attitudes of respondents, and assess the receiving population's perspective. The empirical base consists of data from a sociological survey of 400 migrants from Kazakhstan conducted in September-December 2025 in Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk, Kopeysk, and Troitsk, as well as 60 in-depth interviews that provided insights into the more complex narratives related to motivation and future planning. The statistical error of the sample does not exceed 5% with a confidence level of 95%. It was found that the majority of respondents belong to two waves of migration – the 1990s and the period after 2014, with a significant portion arriving from the Kostanay region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Key reasons for migration included the lack of jobs in the country of origin, dissatisfaction with high levels of corruption, and the absence of social mobility. It was shown that over half of the respondents view their stay in Russia as permanent, yet a significant portion engages in transnational strategies that allow them to diversify risks associated with economic and political instability «here» and «there.» The receiving population's attitude is predominantly assessed by respondents as neutral, which is attributed to the ethnic closeness of most migrants to the Russian population. The results obtained can be utilized in the development of regional adaptation and integration programs for migrants, as well as in further research on the transnational migration strategies of Russian Kazakhstanis.

Abstract. Based on the analyzed trends in Russian non-resource non-energy exports, the article identifies priorities that have emerged in the Russian state system of export support and promotion in the post 2022 period in response to increasing external economic pressure on the Russian economy. Special attention is given to digitalization in the field of foreign trade, which has become the most effective factor contributing to the expansion of state-supported non-resource non-energy exports in the period of 2022-2024. The issue of digital inequality among regions in terms of providing support to exporters of non-resource non-energy products is highlighted. It is concluded that the state's chosen trend of removing barriers, reducing bureaucracy, facilitating foreign trade procedures, and introducing digitalization of processes supporting foreign trade into the state support system has proven successful and has become an effective tool for expanding the volume of supported NNE amidst growing sanctions pressure on the Russian economy. It is emphasized that the impact of this support instrument is limited and one of the most important factors for increasing the volume of NNE should be improving its quality by increasing the share of high-tech products.

Abstract. The article is devoted to assessing the attractiveness of the state civil service as a professional track in the eyes of the youth of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and to developing practical recommendations to improve the mechanisms for attracting young personnel to the public sector. The paper analyzes the main factors influencing the choice of a career path by young people, the level of awareness of young people about the content of the state civil service, the degree of attractiveness of the state civil service from the point of view of young professionals, and the channels of obtaining information preferred by the younger generation. The theoretical basis is formed by the normative legal acts regulating the state civil service in the Russian Federation, the sociological concept of civil service by Max Weber and the theory of profession by Karl Marx. The results of the sociological study «Assessment of the attractiveness of the state civil service as a professional track in the eyes of the youth of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)», which was conducted in 2025, form the empirical basis of this paper. The results of the sociological study have revealed the gap between a moderately positive attitude towards the status of a civil servant and a low real willingness to find employment in this sphere. Only 38% of respondents consider the state civil service as a potential place of employment. The analysis of motivational attitudes has showed pragmatism in choosing the career path. The priority criteria are high wages, work-life balance, and career opportunities. In addition, the results of the study have revealed the fact that almost a quarter of respondents have no idea about the content of the work of government and civil servants, which demonstrates gaps in information policy. Besides, it has been revealed that geographical preferences in building a career are ambivalent. About half of respondents intend to build a career in Yakutia, but, nevertheless, there are those who do not exclude relocation or generally focus on the central cities of Russia, as well as work abroad. Based on the data obtained, it has been concluded that in order to increase the attractiveness of the state and civil service a systematic approach is needed, which includes modernizing the image of the profession through interactive formats, strengthening material and flexible working conditions, developing a multi-channel information strategy and developing regional personnel retention programs. The recommendations formulated during the study are important for improving the competitiveness of the state and civil service in the labor market, taking into account regional specifics.
