Russia’s Modern Banking Law
No full textIn this study, the author offers a very general review of banking legislation in Russia. The author discusses the main statutory acts which regulate banking activity and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia). The author describes the Bank of Russia’s functions. He concludes that, in modern market conditions, it is extremely important to develop civil regulation and reduce administrative regulation; however, he finds that, unfortunately, the Bank of Russia is still subject to administrative management. Considering the nature of the relationships between the Bank of Russia and private credit organizations, the author insists on the need for a partnership, forged on principles of dispositive regulation, between them. More generally, this work considers the problems of domestic financial regulation through the theoretical prism of free banking. Current Russian banking legislation only focuses on the creation of the best mechanism for the organization of credit and financial relationships. The author considers not only the requirements for state financial policy, but also the interests of private credit organizations, which serve as the engine of the financial market and strengthen the banking system as a whole. Until recently, many aspects of the Russian banking system have been a compromise between the old and new conceptions of the economy. For this reason, the upholding of free market ideas is essential in order to develop banking legal theory. The author criticizes the emerging tendency to reduce the role of liberal financial institutions, such as the increasing role of the Bank of Russia as a mega-regulator. Considering this, the author recommends the application of immediate counteractions against the above-described tendency and supports the strengthening of the independence of credit organizations. He emphasizes that this is the only approach to fully develop the existing banking system.In this study, the author offers a very general review of banking legislation in Russia.

A Theory of Demographic Cycles and the Social Evolution of Ancient and Medieval Oriental Societies (translation)
No full textA theory of demographic cycles is developed by the author out of the contributions of many sciences. F. Braudel named these cycles as "secular trends," and R. Cameron used the concept of "logistics cycles." The author constructs a mathematical model of a demographic cycle. With the help of this model the cycle is divided into phases for which the author is able to determine about 40 qualitative attributes of the cycle. These attributes allow a demographic cycle to be identified in the real course of a history even in the absence of quantitative data about a population. With the help of this method 57 demographic cycles are identified in the history of the various countries of the East. In particular, it is shown that the increase of demographic pressure at the end of a cycle results in establishment of étatist monarchy
TUI tipų lyginamasis vertinimas ES-14 ir Vidurio bei Rytų Europos šalyse.
No full textThe main purpose of this master thesis is to determine types of foreign direct investments (FDI) in two distinct parts of the European Union (the EU): in 14 countries that were part of the union in 1995 (EU-14) and 8 new member states in Central and Eastern European (CEE) region that joined in 2004. Master thesis consists of three parts: the analysis of the literature, research and its results, a conclusion and recommendations. Literature analysis focused on review of the theories that led to the development of the FDI, application of them in this work, as well as overview of previous research on the FDI determinants in the CEE region. The author defined proxy variables such as GDP, inflation, wage rate, education and resource rents that acted as representatives of certain types of FDI. Following literature analysis, the author applied defined panel data model to carry out the research into FDI determinants in two regions. After calculations were done, the author found out that FDI in EU-14 countries is mainly positively influenced by GDP per capita, while for CEE region rising wages is negative factor and inflation rate has positive influence. Conclusions were made that the EU, although acting like joint economic union, is not homogenous in attracting FDI. The countries of EU-14 region have shown specialization in market-seeking FDI and CEE region in efficiency-seeking type. The natural resource seeking FDI does not have standing in either of regions and asset-seeking FDI requires further research. Author believes that results of the study can be useful for more precise definition of governmental investment-seeking policies. During this work several research gaps were found, mainly in relationship of education and FDI, which author recommends to explore further
A New Book on the Law System of the Golden Horde: Pochekaev R.Yu. Legal Culture of the Golden Horde (Historical and Legal Essays) (Moscow: Yurlitinform, 2015. 312 p.)
No full textThis book is a study at the intersection of such academic disciplines as general history, history of state and law and source study.
The subcect of R.Yu. Pochevalev’s book appears very relevant since the interest of the scientific community and readership toward the Golden Horde and its role in the history of the Russian state remains traditionally high for several centuries. However, the author is trying to take a fresh look at this state and refute the stereotype of the Golden Horde as a some kind of bunch of nomads who lived only by plundering neighboring sedentary peoples. He succeeds in this by studying such an important part of the Golden Horde history as its law and legal culture.
The book examines a number of questions on the history of state and law of the Golden Horde, which have not previously been the subject of a special study (for example, possessions of the Golden Horde in other uluses, dualism of power in different states, relations between authorities and traders, etc.). On some other issues that have already been studied by experts, he proposes new interpretations in the framework of historical and legal approach (for example, the causes of intestine strife in the Golden Horde in the mid-14th century, yarliks of the Golden Horde khans granted to the Russian Chruch, relations of the Golden Horde rulers and Italian colonies in the Northern Black Sea region).
The author examines to a great extent the themes of state and legal regulation of economic relations: status of merchants in the Golden Horde and post-Golden Horde states, role of economic sanctions in the resolution of political conflicts. In other essays contained in the book, the author also emphasizes the role of the economic component of the political and legal relations. For example, R.Yu. Pochekaev convincingly shows that relations of the Golden Horde with other states of the Mongol Empire was based on the principle of mutual provision of possessions to the rulers of other states. The consequence of this was the acquisition of revenues: the Golden Horde khans received such incomes, for example, from China and Central Asia. Various taxation existed in nomadic and sedentary regions of the Golden Horde itself: thereby khans found a kind of compromise that allowed for the effective management of subjects with a different way of economy
Consumption level during the period of holodomor
No full textTerritorial expansion of the 1933 famine is a matter of dispute between Ukrainian and Russian history scientists. The former regard the famine to be localized within Ukraine, while the latter adopt the position that vast regions of Russia, in particular the Volga River region and Central Chernozemic region, were affected with the famine too. To solve this matter, the author has the data engaged which concern nutrition survey conducted by Gosplan (State Planning Committee) of the USSR in 1933. These data show that the situation in Ukraine was the most disastrous. The Volga River and Central Chernozemic regions, although suffered from the famine too, were featured with consumption of food products about 1.5 times higher than that in Odessa or Kiev regions. The average daily consumption of 1070 kcal which was recorded in Odessa region in early 1933 allowed lifesustaining activity of a human being for three months only. © 2014, Centre of Sociological Research.
