Coastal municipalities in the spatial development of Russia
In the spatial structure of modern Russia, vast coastal zones play a significant role. Their further development requires a highly detailed and localized approach (down to the level of specific coastal municipalities) that considers the natural, ecological, and socio-economic conditions of settlement and economic activity. This article presents a methodological approach and the results of a multidimensional typology of Russia’s coastal municipal…
Is Today’s South of Russia Polyethnic
The current intensification of transformation processes in Russian society against the backdrop of significantly increased global turbulence calls for a focus on spatial development, which, in turn, requires a more detailed and sound vision of the ethnodemographic specifics of the territory. Based on a multiscale analysis of data from the 2021 All-Russian Population Census, the paper highlights the features of the ethnic structure of the South of…
Thalassocentricity of Russian Coastal Territories
In the 21st century, the development of the resource potential of the World Ocean is a basic condition for socioeconomic development. This issue has also been made relevant for modern Russia, focusing humangeographical research, including directly on coastal territories. The article is devoted to the conceptualization, parameterization, and typologization of the phenomenon of a “bias towards the sea” of components of the spatial structure (reside…
Russia’s spatial development and the emerging greater Eurasia
Contemporary Russia’s spatial development is markedly affected by profound geoeconomic and geopolitical shifts, progressively more visible in terms of magnitude and repercussions. For Russia, the positive impact of these changes has become increasingly linked to the emergence of the Greater Eurasia macro-structure. This article aims to develop a contemporary conceptual approach to Greater Eurasia as a socio-geographical mega-structure given Russi…

The geopolitical effect of the maritime factor on the spatial development of post-Soviet Russia
The article explores the impact of geopolitical processes on the spatial organisation of society, a matter that has gained increasing importance in Russia. It focuses on the utilization of the World Ocean and its coastlines for resource extraction, logistics, military-strategic purposes, and settlement. Methodologically, this study combines modern socio-geographical approaches emphasising the role of the maritime factor in spatial development wit…
Geopolitical Security of Russia
This paper summarizes the results of the seminar “Geopolitical Security of Russia: Remarks on the Problem Statement”, held on August 26, 2022, at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad. During the seminar, the Institute of Geopolitical and Regional Studies of the university announced an initiative to devise a system of monitoring the geopolitical (regional) security of Russia. The debate centred around the development of a conce…
The Marine Component of Human Geography Studies in Post-Soviet Russia
Originated in the 1960s, the ‘marine branch’ of Soviet, and later Russian, economic and social geography contributed to the diversification of geographical science and expanded its scope. The new branch was a product of the rapid growth of the marine economy and the country’s military infrastructure and settlement system starting to gravitate towards the World Ocean. This article uses bibliographical and scientometric materials to explore the fac…
The sea factor in the federal regulation of Russia’s spatial development
Current geoeconomic and geopolitical transformations project on Russian society and its spatial organisation, highlighting the problems of spatial socioeconomic development and its governmental regulation. This article examines the theoretical and applied aspects of the incorporation into the national regional policy of the sea factor, understood as a combination of location and resources, which is determined by a country’s jurisdiction over coas…
Russia in the World Ocean
One of the modern global trends is the accelerated formation of a “blue economy” based on transport and logistics, resource and raw materials, and other opportunities of the seas and oceans, which occupy more than 70% of the Earth’s surface. The article substantiates the growth in the importance of maritime economic activity for the Russian Federation and emphasizes the peculiarities of realizing its interests in the World Ocean, taking into acco…
The strongholds of Russian coastal borderlands
In the 21st century, the World Ocean is becoming a key factor in global socio-economic dynamics and a geoeconomic and geopolitical priority of many countries. The Russian Federation, whose economy, infrastructure, and settlement system have been gravitating towards the sea since the late 1990s, is no exception. This article aims to identify and provide a conceptual framework for the phenomenon of Russia’s coastal borderlands and their constituent…
Economic and Demographic Dynamics of Settlements in Leningrad Oblast
This article presents an original method of assessing the influence of the factor of transborder clustering on the economic and demographic dynamics of the Leningrad oblast territories. It is shown that the economic potential is primarily focused in towns (especially in district centers), as well as in rural settlements neighboring St. Petersburg. Amid the crisis trends evident since summer—autumn 2014, the majority of settlements hosting the com…
Large business in the coastal zones of Russia
Russia’s evident ‘turn to the sea’ as regards the economy, the infrastructure, and population distribution patterns is very much in line with the interests and projects of large businesses. This change manifests itself in the development of port and logistics complexes, the port industry, the construction of offshore pipelines, more active offshore oil and gas production, the growing demographic potential of coastal cities, etc. This article aims…
Пролонгация “москвоцентричности” российского пространства
Статья посвящена анализу феномена "москвоцентричности" как общественно-географического, культурно-ценностного и политико- экономического явления, исследованию его ретроспективы, факторов и основных проявлений, оценке целесообразности и возможности "размосквичевания" России и "разстоличевания" Москвы с учетом складывающихся геоэкономических и геополитических реалий. Проанализирован исторический (с XVI столетия) тренд формирования "москвоцентричной…
Transboundary Clusters in the Coastal Zones of the European Part of Russia
This article presents an inventory and a typology of the existing and emerging economic clusters in the coastal zone of the European part of Russia. The authors hold that transboundary clustering takes priority in the Baltic coastal region -nine of the 56 clusters identified are located in the Kaliningrad region and another eight in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The authors describe major catalysts and immanent inhibitors in coastal …
The coastalisation of population in today’s Russia
The coastalisation of population is considered as a prolonged, universal, although not a ubiquitous - socio-geographical process. This process is a result of the evolving spatial architecture of countries and regions, a lack of balance between the potential of leading cities, economic and settlement projections of global geoecological, geo-economic, and geopolitical processes, the scale and effect of transnational and transboundary contracts, and…
“Cultural branch” of human geography in contemporary Russia
This paper presents an overview of the historical origins, specific features, development trends, and key issues, as well as priority areas and prospects for development, of the cultural and geographic branch of Russian human geography. In the global academic landscape, this discipline is known as cultural geography. Two concepts are used on the national research scene: geography of culture or cultural geography. The relationship between these tw…
The Development of Russian Social Geography
Promoting the development of social geography (one of the most important components of present-day social sciences) is especially important for contemporary Russia. In the last 25 years Russian social geography has seen dramatic disciplinary changes. On the one hand, it has widened its scope. On the other hand, it has suffered from a growing contradiction between the popularization of the social geographic knowledge, the need to have a clear unde…
Interaction of Russia and Turkey in the post-Soviet period
In the post-Soviet period, Turkey (along with Russia) has been a key actor in the geoeconomic and geopolitical architectonics of modern Eurasia. The Russian-Turkish rapprochement is predetermined by a stable set of historical, cultural, demographic, and socioeconomic circumstances. Economic relations with Turkish partners are most typical of coastal regions in the south of Russia adjoining Turkey (Krasnodar krai and Rostov oblast), the country’s …
Spatial possibilities and barriers of the postindustrial development of a regional metropolis (the Case Study of Rostov-on-Don)
Within the architectonics of the territorial organization of modern Russian society, the centers of federal subjects, or regional metropolises (innovation establishing itself more firmly in the Russian terminological practice [1–5]) occupy special dominant place. In the urbanized network constructed by them, Moscow and St. Petersburg are certainly of great significance; however, if we also consider cities of federal importance (that partially per…
