Comparative analysis of the territorial support frame of settlement in coastal areas: the case of St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad regions
... regions are as follows:
— Kaliningrad — Mamonovo;
— Kaliningrad — Chernyakhovsk;
— the ring road connecting the resort towns.
The spatial structures of the St. Petersburg metropolitan agglomeration and the Kaliningrad region have large coastal belts: the coastal belt proper and the land-coast belt.

The SPARK-Interfax database aids in clarifying relationships between spatial elements ...
Kant and His Heritage in Belarusian Philosophy of the Soviet and Post-Soviet Periods
The interpretation of Kant’s philosophy by thinkers in pre-Soviet Belarus has been the subject of not a few publications. They described the reception of his seminal ideas, the analysis, polemic and occasionally sharp criticism of these ideas. It is helpful now to look at Kantian studies beginning from the 1920s to the present time. I will show that immediately after the October 1917 revolution and until the 1930s interest in Kant’s teaching was waning. When they turned to his ideas during that...

Geopolitical regionalisation of the Baltic area: the essence and historical dynamics
... asymmetric’. In terms of economic development and transport communication, the region is asymmetric, with Germany as an indisputable leader. From the geopolitical perspective, it is crucial to evaluate the region’s position on the ‘corridor/sector — belt/zone’ scale, particularly, in order to describe the geographical origins of transport corridors and energy projects or assess the degree of neighbourhood between countries and their parts. In the Baltic region, one can distinguish several zones ...
Study of the physical and geographical conditions of the territory of the Kemerovo region — Kuzbass for the purpose of reclamation works
... physico-geographical conditions of the Kemerovo Region — Kuzbass to carry out reclamation work. The main deposits of the region are located in the mountainous areas of the Kuznetsk Alatau, Salair, and Mountain Shoria. Combustible minerals belong to a discontinuous belt in the central part of the region, where more favorable conditions for sediment accumulation are created. Kemerovo Region is characterized by diverse geomorphological conditions and a varied climate. The main factors contributing to the climate ...
The border as a barrier and an incentive for the structural economic transformation of the Kaliningrad exclave
... significantly. For example, annual milk yield per cow rose from 5,486 to 7,771 kg (8,552 kg in 2020) during the same period, whilst grain yield increased from 3.84 to 5.2 tons per hectare — a level comparable to the performance of some black soil belt regions.
The overall shift in the geopolitical situation of the Kaliningrad region, as well as Russia as a whole, pointed in one clear direction: a worsening of relations with European and Western partners, particularly Poland and Lithuania. In contrast ...
Efficiency analysis of seaports in Russia’s Baltic basin: performance evaluation
... footprint). The high practical significance of a systematic study of a seaport demonstrates its relevance in the case of countries in the Caribbean Basin [12], China [11], ports along the transportation corridor under the Chinese government’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative [6], and others. Considering various aspects when analyzing the activities of a seaport as a significant element of the transport and logistics system allows for the evaluation of its efficiency according to multiple criteria ...
Population change and the settlement system transformation in Poland, as revealed by the 2021 census
... become so commonplace, just like in Russia, that only its extreme cases get attention. For instance, in November 2022, wide media coverage was given to a story about a mother with a two-year-old daughter found living in a tent in the coastal forest belt near Gdansk.<5>
According to Fedorov, “the geodemographic characteristics of regions affect the direction and rate of their socioeconomic development, whereas the emerging disparities between the actual living standards and the desired course ...
“They call the main entrance a porch”: social meaning in semantics and metapragmatics
The paper analyzes the concept of social meaning, which has been conceptualized in lexical semantics since the 1980s and has become central in modern sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. It has been used to describe pragmatic increments in the meaning of a language unit, which it receives in context. New explanatory approaches have developed from a sociolinguistic perspective in metapragmatics, where social meaning is seen as a social index that emerges in context. Social index (the...
Household items of the 13th—15th centuries from the necropolis of Alt-Wehlau
... following conclusions. Razors of type 1 and flints of types 1—4 were most frequently used in burials both separately and in combination with each other. Items were mainly located near pelvic and femoral bones due the tradition to wear them on the belt. During the specified period household items demonstrated tendency to unification on the form, composition and location in burials. Comparing them with the same items from other necropolis and cities of Order’s state and neighboring Zhemaitiya,...

An assessment of the role of green belts in creating comfortable microclimatic conditions in summer
Against the background of global warming and a decline in urban vegetation, they pose a danger of overheating in summer. In this article, we stress the significance of green spaces as a principal factor in reducing the overheating of urban surfaces. We analyse a high-rise residential area in the left-bank part of the city of Voronezh to perform a simulation of microclimatic conditions in summer. The following parameters were used as background climatic conditions: the day of the summer solstice...
Structural features of upwelling in South-East Baltic
... explores the upwelling which took place after calm weather when thermohaline fields had parameters close to summer ones. Upwelling was produced by North-East wind with sped of about 15 m/s and duration of about 3 days. After the gale the alongshore belt of respectively cold water of width 8 km and placed apart the shore at 8 km had been formed in an area with depth of 25 m. The temperature in the upwelling core had dropped by 4 C. Changes in thermoholine structure due to the gale were simulated ...
