Three Russian Baltic regions in the context of confrontation between Russia and the West
... the Kaliningrad region has a more ‘fragile’ economy, highly dependent on external influences, with a low level of economic security.
During the tumultuous economic crises of the 1990s, St. Petersburg witnessed a staggering fourfold reduction in industrial production (1992—1999), while the Kaliningrad region experienced an even more substantial sixfold decline. The situation in the Leningrad region was relatively better, largely due to the operation of the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant. In ...
Structural changes in the economy of the Russian North-West regions: institutional factor

The paper concludes that structural changes in the economy of the Russian north-west regions are wavelike in nature. The indexes of regional GVA and industrial market development point to the existence of a transition zone between the structural phases of the wave, with the transition mostly taking place in 2014. The trigger for the second phase of the wave, along with new structural changes, was ...

Priorities for the development of manufacturing industries in the Kaliningrad region
The Kaliningrad region is a socio-economically developed area with a steadily increasing population. Its economy is predominantly influenced by manufacturing industries, whose growth is supported by the region’s strategic geographic position on the Baltic coast and the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) regime. However, the region’s exclave status, which makes it reliant on external factors, hinders its development....

Similar conclusions have been drawn by Russian researchers who have compared statistical data on the development of cooperatives in Russia in the 1990s with the location of modern industrial clusters. The concentration of industrial zones in areas with a high percentage of cooperative enterprises provides implicit evidence of a connection between cooperative development and industrial production growth [7]. These trends acquire ...
Comparative analysis of the territorial support frame of settlement in coastal areas: the case of St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad regions

Seventeen of these sites can be classified as ‘encouraging coastalisation’, meaning they have a strong presence of maritime industries and their most populated and economically developed centres are disproportionately located in the coastal zone [1, p. 29]. In Russia, the regions of this kind include the coastal regions of the Baltic Sea: Russia’s semi-exclave of the Kaliningrad ...
France’s strategy in the Baltic region: military and political aspects

At the same time, special emphasis is still made ...
On the study of yeasts consortia ethanol producing abilities
The production of bioethanol from non-food feedstock is considered to be a promising alternative to conventional ethanol production from food crops.
