  • Human Spatial Mobility and the Role of Dachas in the Old-Developed Areas

    Open AccessT G Nefedova, Т Г Нефедова et al.ARTICLERegional Research of Russia2022

    This article considers labor and dacha (second home) return migrations in Russia. These types of population spatial mobility have much greater extent than moving to a permanent place of residence. Temporary work outside the place of permanent residence was typical for the old-developed regions around Moscow and St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 21st century, this has become widespread due to job cuts and wage differences…

  • Spatial Inequality of the Old-Developed Regions of European Russia and the Urals

    Open AccessA V Sheludkov, T G Nefedova et al.ARTICLERegional Research of Russia2022

    Many special studies investigate the problems of spatial inequality in Russia at the regional (federal subjects) level, yet they reflect only the most general differences, obscuring much more striking intraregional contrasts and interregional patterns. This article attempts to outline the contours of spatially different development of old-developed districts and cities in 37 regions of European Russia and the Urals, using a wide array of statisti…

    Open AccessT G Nefedova, Т Г НефедоваARTICLERegional Research of Russia2022

Old-developed regions of Russia are characterized by relatively high density of cities, but at the expense of small and most problematic ones. The urbanization of the 20th century led to the growth of several large centers that continue to “pull” people out of small and medium-sized cities and rural areas. The gap between the centers of regions and…
