Social Geography and Social Topology
The source of information for the article was the Interactive Atlas Virtual Population of Russia (2017), which accumulates open personal data on users of the social network VKontakte and their locations and preferred directions of communication. The methodological tools of graph analysis are used to identify patterns of network interactions of residents of three obviously different macroregions of Russia: the South, Ural–Volga Region, and Far Eas…
Geostrategic territories
The term ‘geostrategic territory’ was introduced in the Spatial Development Strategies of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2019 and 2024. However, the principles for identifying such territories remained ambiguous, with no clear priorities or differentiation criteria specified. This study aims to conduct a substantive analysis of the concept of geostrategy and its derivatives across various fields of scholarly knowledge, drawing on both intern…
Narratives of Regional Cultural Distinctiveness and the Unity of Russian Cultural Space
The article is based on field research conducted in Krasnodar Krai and Kaliningrad and Orenburg oblasts in 2022–2024. Its aim is to understand the extent to which narratives about the uniqueness of “one’s own land” are capable of producing a separate historical and cultural space and leading to fragmentation of a country’s territory, held together by a settlement system, a common language, and a shared past. The concept of narrative identity is u…
City-Agglomeration
The article is based on the materials of the field research conducted in Krasnodar krai in the summer–autumn of 2023, as well as on the analysis of articles and projects devoted to the substantiation of spatial forms and borders of Russian urban agglomerations. The Krasnodar urban agglomeration was chosen for several reasons: (a) the intensive growth of the population of Krasnodar, (b) the “cross-border” nature of the urban agglomeration, which i…
West or East? Geopolitical Challenges to Moldova’s Borders
On the eve and following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Moldova was faced with the geopolitical dilemma of orientation towards European or Eurasian spaces. Historical and ethno-cultural arguments divided the society and led to armed conflict, as well as to the emergence of the non-recognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (Transnistria or the TMR) along the Moldovan-Ukrainian border. This paper examines further changes in the regime and functi…
Economic Development as a Challenge for “De Facto States”
The significance of economic factors in the emergence and development of “de facto states” remains insufficiently studied and debatable. This article deals with the case of South Ossetia, one of the six unrecognized republics that emerged in the post-Soviet space. Based on the study of statistical data, secondary sources and expert interviews with representatives of local authorities, business, and the academic community, the authors analyzed str…
Local Responses to the Contested Border in Northern Crimea
This article analyses the situation in Crimea, which de facto seceded from Ukraine and joined Russia in 2014 following a local referendum, the results of which are not recognised by the international community. It focuses on the everyday life of the local population, which has been forced to adapt to the emergence of the contested border between Russia and Ukraine; the related breakdown of political and economic interactions between Crimea and Uk…
Identity of Kaliningraders
Research into the identity of residents of Kaliningrad Oblast is characterized by a combination of close attention to the ideologically significant factors of its formation and its deficit in personal belief and mindset issues. At best, researchers talk about stereotypes of public opinion and enduring mythologems. The authors seek to fill this gap by offering a look at identity as a reflective project supported by narratives and controlled by soc…
Territorial Gradients of Socioeconomic Development of Russia’s Borderland
Socioeconomic differences in different parts of Russia’s borderland are analyzed. Based on a compiled database of statistical indicators for 2000–2016 characterizing demographic, economic, and social development, as well as external economic ties of Russia’s border regions and neighboring countries, the territorial gradients on both sides of the Russian border are assessed on a comparative basis. An increase in differences in the demographic pote…
Economic and social reforms in the North Caucasus
Problems regarding the development of the North Caucasus have been key issues on the agenda of federal and regional authorities for many years. Their visions of the possibilities and methods of development vary widely. Practically all regional elites place emphasis on the uniqueness of their republics, while the federal authorities, on the contrary, seek to move beyond the asymmetry of the relationships, seeing the solution to the problem as a br…
Ethnocultural gradient and regional identity along the Russian-Ukrainian-Belarussian Borderlands
This article addresses issues associated with the modern regional and historical consciousness of the population, as well as the historical, geographical, and ethnocultural prerequisites for their formation within the confines of Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, and partially Voronezh oblasts. Assuming that the mentality of the local population harmonizes with the character of the historic and ethnocultural landscape, the author studies the spatial chan…
