Observations on the Russian Heartland
An American economic geographer comments on two preceding papers devoted to the new Russian "Heartland." Initially focusing on the legacy of Soviet infrastructure development for present-day oil and gas production (and consequently regional economic fortunes), he proceeds to explore the spatial pattern of multiplier effects stemming from resource development. In the ethno-political context, the author ponders whether an exclusivist Russian ethnic…
Observations on the Problematic Potential of Russian Oil and the Complexities of Siberia
An economic geographer and noted American observer of the Russian oil industry since the early 1970s examines the mid-term (15 to 20 years) sustainability of the current surge in oil production, particularly in light of the many complexities affecting the existing and potential petroleum resources of Siberia. Analysis and discussion cover the role of vertically integrated companies, the impact of geological and geographical constraints, the reser…
Reflections on a Geographic Dichotomy
A noted economic geographer and Sovietologist conceptualizes Russia's current economy as an archipelago, consisting of widely scattered nodes of viable, integrated activity separated by an enormous expanse of "dead space." The dichotomy between metropolitan Russia and its hinterland is developed through an examination of contrasts in such major indicators of well-being as natural gas consumption, access to education, the middle class, retail trad…

Pasturalism in Turkestan
Urban Growth and Spatial Planning in Hungary
The Budapest Agglomeration and Hungarian Industry
T HE issue central to the spatial development of Hungary is the continued growth of the Budapest agglomeration. The Hungarian capital, with 2 million inhabitants in Budapest proper and a total of 2.3 million in the agglomeration, is the largest city in East Central Europe, apart from divided Berlin. One-fifth of Hungary's people live in the agglomeration; more important, the capital houses nearly one-half of the nation's urbanites.' With almost 7…
Seasonal Influences in Soviet Industry
Investment Priorities in Soviet Regions
The rate of capital return and marginal capital product in Soviet industry are estimated by geographic areas to discover whether the regional allocation of investment, particularly industrial capital, in the 1960s was guided by considerations of capital and labor productivity or by other motives. The underindustrialized western regions, where capital and labor productivity are satisfactory or high, have been slighted in favor of more easterly pro…
