The City’s Image
Of the four main paradoxes of the city, identified by the Soviet and Russian geographer G.M. Lappo, the author of the present article considers the idea that cities strive to preserve the past, but cannot refuse to introduce the new, which displaces the past. “Antiquity” is understood primarily as a material heritage in stone (conventionally and collectively as “cultural stones”). Such a legacy affects people, their consciousness, assessments, an…
Former Capitals As a Product of Internal and External Challenges
Former capitals are considered worldwide and within a fragment limited to 1800–2022 and Western Eurasia. For the latter, a typology is carried out by the time of losing the status of a capital, groups of its causes (external capture, endogenic collapse, relatively peaceful surrender and transfer within the state by its own will), the duration of the capital’s experience, closeness in size to the then and modern country where the ex-capital is loc…
Some Geographical Paradoxes of the Postindustrial World
Paradoxes are understood as contradictions, real and imaginary oddities, illogicalities of postindustrial development and its analysis on different geographical scales, from global to local. In addition to the two paradoxes associated with the laxity of the term itself, four more are considered: (1) the flow of resources into areas of activity, countries, and regions not with increased labor productivity, as in the course of industrialization, bu…
Axes and Extremes of Geographical Differences Based on a Case Study of the Multivalued Multiscale South
Among the main axes of geographic differences, the most universal are north–south and west–east. The article is devoted to “souths” of different scales, from global to intrastate and local (using selected examples), still touching upon other extremes of both geographical axes, their objective features and reflection in the mass consciousness. The “absolutization” of the South is noted at all levels, recorded in toponymy. In different territorial …
Historical Experience of the Modernization of Russian Society and Space
The article is based on a broad treatment of modernization as a development based on innovations and unlimited by the New Age. The historical experience of the country has been studied from two aspects: modernization of society in space and modernization of the socioeconomic space itself. The article considers waves of expansions and contractions (in a word, pulsation) of this space, the ratio of modernization and westernization, the features of …
Moscow Oblast
The article, written for the anniversary of G.M. Lappo, is dedicated to Moscow oblast as one of his key regions. The influence of Moscow on the territory of the oblast is considered, including according to cellular operator data. The emphasis is on the change in territorial structures of Moscow oblast based on a multiscale approach and detailed statistical data. It is shown that in the post-Soviet period, with the development of high-speed transp…
Shrinking Urban System of the Largest Country
The article is a review of trends of the last decade in the development and study of the urban system of Russia and its largest agglomerations, Moscow, in particular. The features of Russia’s urban network are noted against the global background and key features, shifts in the urban network, including the ongoing concentration of people in major cities and urban agglomerations with the degradation of lower levels of the urban system—small towns a…
Old-Developed Regions of Russia in the Waves of Municipal Reform
This article is devoted to the problems of local self-government in Russia and its relationship with higher authorities. The recent attempt, far from being the first in history, to transform the balance of power at different spatial levels, called municipal reform, is typical of the post-Soviet period. The main stages of the reform (although it has not yet been completed) and the new types of municipalities, such as urban and municipal okrugs, ar…
Old-Developed Regions of Russia
This is an attempt to generalize the results presented in the series of articles and related to the evolution and the current state of the old-developed regions of Russia on the area from its western borders to the Urals inclusive. Contrary to declarations and strategies of spatial development, the existing institutions and trends promoted polarization and shrinkage of the developed space. About 60% of the country’s population lives on 5% of its …
Old-Developed Areas under Conditions of Uneven Development
The main common properties, differences, and problems of studying old-developed areas are considered after a brief review of the reasons for and the circumstances of the late Soviet attention to these territories in geography. The place of the array of regions chosen for the study in the country’s economy is shown, their enlarged sectoral composition and the post-Soviet, mainly post-industrial, transformation of the main structural types of regio…
Old-Developed Regions of the Ural Macroregion and Its Large Centers in the Middle
The article first offers a general overview of the place and role of the Russian Urals as a region located at the Eurasian junction. This is one of the leading industrial bases in Russia, relying on natural resource rent, but with a difficult fate, including steep ups and downs. The significance, former and current characteristics of its old-developed areas are indicated. The study is focuses on the Middle Urals as the key part of the Ural macror…
Spatially Uneven Development in Russia
The article discusses the main concepts concerning spatial inequality (uneven development, concentration, polarization, fragmentation, shrinking of sociogeographic space) in the Russian and foreign literature as applied to the problems of today’s Russia. Russian geographers pay much attention to both interregional and intraregional inequalities, as well as to their natural, historical, economic, demographic, and institutional factors. On the vast…
The Largest, Metropolitan, and Global Centers in the World Arena
The article compares the leadership of the world’s cities in terms of their size, capital status, global economic functions, and spatial structure of their networks. The global network of 210 largest centers is polycentric but coincides with the network of capitals by only one-third. Giant countries, except for Indonesia and Russia, are characterized by bi- or even polycentrism and active competition of the leading cities. They are dictated by ge…
Uneven Development of Old Industrial Regions in the Middle Urals
The article examines the degree of fragmentation and polarization of the socioeconomic space of Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk oblasts in the territory of the Middle Urals from Nizhny Tagil to Chelyabinsk. The study is based on an analysis of a number of statistical indicators for 29 municipalities and the results of expeditionary studies of cities and districts. The authors consider the specifics of individual areas, their evolution from the date of…

Unevenness and Structural Diversity of the Economy’s Spatial Development As a Scientific Problem and Russian Reality
The article contains an attempt to analyze the unevenness and diversity in general and in the context of spatial economic development at the level of scientific concepts with examples of countries of the world, Russia, and its regions. Unevenness and diversity in spatial economics are shown as not independent but different phenomena. Diversity may include unevenness as a special case but is more often associated with qualitative features, includi…
Urbanization and Seasonal Deurbanization in Modern Russia
The course of urbanization in 20th-century Russia and its specifics during Soviet times and today are considered. To explain the specifics of the urbanization process, the authors put forward five hypotheses, discussing them in detail. The first hypothesis pertains to the inadequacy of Russian statistics. The second depends on the conclusion about the urbanization/deurbanization stage within a territory considered urban (urbanized). The third hyp…
Historic–geographical peculiarities of exploring Russia’s Northern and Arctic territories in the 17th–19th centuries
The historic–geographical dynamics and nature of the exploration of Russia’s Northern and Arctic territories are described beginning from the 17th century. These territories immediately began to play an important economic role, because the furs obtained from there served as a source of monetary metals. The country’s budget, in fact, depended on furs, and the successes of exploring the North (and East) were especially impressive then. For the enti…
Schematics of Russia’s averaged regions
An inductive approach is proposed and implemented to model (schematize) an averaged region of contemporary Russia, its main macrozones, and the part of it that approximately corresponds to the Russian Empire in the late 19th century. The main technique is the averaging of statistical indicators and, if possible, spatial structures of 82 regions close to the federal subjects, as well as 47 gubernatorial units at the end of the 19th century accordi…
Capital cities and state borders
The aim of the article is to verify the opinions of classic Russian geographers on the geographical positions of capital cities and the commonality of their historical destiny. The remoteness of 178 official and 45 alternative capitals from the outer contours of their countries has been measured. Their relation to the “reduced radius” (RR) of national territories has been calculated. The distributions of indicators and their dependence on the clo…
Urbanization, Counterurbanization, and Rural–Urban Communities Facing Growing Horizontal Mobility
This article examines contemporary forms of urbanization, suburbanization, and counterurbanization, exploring their many facets as the physical movement of populations and changes in lifestyle and values orientation, including the phenomenon of "downshifting." Incomplete urbanization and the polarization of the socioeconomic space have given rise to two powerful opposite outpourings: the centrifugal seasonal flow from cities to dachas and the cen…
Eastern Russia
Russia’s division into two, principally its European and Asian, parts looks very traditional. However, this regionalization does not necessarily coincide with division into West and East, which concerns internal spatial proportions and asymmetry of the country rather than its cultural identity and other not quite geographical connotations. The article clarifies the concept and the border of Eastern Russia and its position in the country and the w…
Types of cities in Russia and across the globe
The paper defines the idea of capitalness, describes types of capitals in different countries, and outlines the typical aspects of Russia’s capital. Differences between industrial and postindustrial cities are also laid out, with an emphasis on the main features of the latter and the specifics of postindustrial cities in Russia and Ukraine. The notion of a city’s function and multifunctional cities’ issues are also covered in the paper. It is inc…
Russia between the two capitals
The paper analyzes an important feature of Russia, i.e., hystorical presence of two capitals, as well as intercapital space. The ratio of the population and functions of capitals varied for more than two centuries. The special role of the intercapital area, which is significantly affected by both cities, is considered. Paradoxes of contraction of the Russian socioeconomic space are evident there, i.e., major centers have become closer to each oth…
“Dacha studies” as the science on second homes in the West and in Russia
This paper contains Russia’s first, to the author’s knowledge, review of research on second homes, particularly those that correspond to the Russian concept of a dacha. This review is certainly incomplete, since it covers only the Western, predominately, European literature and partially statistics, analyzed in comparison with the Russian literature and statistics (however, the latter is not considered specially, in detail). Different aspects of …

A new wave in basic research on Russia’s spatial development
We discuss the specific features of the paradigm shift of Russian regional science, focusing on the organization of basic research on spatial development in the context of global and national challenges. A summary assessment is made of the main results of the 2009–2011 pioneering program carried out by institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences: “Fundamental Problems of the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation: An Interdisciplinary Sy…
Moscow agglomeration and “New Moscow”
The paper is focused on the development of the city of Moscow and its close and distant suburbs, as well as on the accompanying problems related to the specificity of Russia’s urbanization. A complex hierarchy of urban spatial structures formed around the nation’s capital was distinguished, mapped, and analyzed. Both the former and today’s urban policies are discussed in the paper in view of the latest dramatic extension of Moscow’s boundaries an…
