Annotation: The purpose of the article is to identify the main areas of improving economic security in the sphere of foreign trade activities of the Russian Federation. The article reveals the main strategic ways to promote international cooperation and highly effective provision of foreign economic activity. The main directions of improving economic security include: improving the competitiveness of the national economy; ensuring export security against external threats and risks; providing conditions for realization of national, production, industrial and foreign trade priorities of the country; the formation of a system of foreign trade security in the digital economy. A brief analysis of statistical data characterizing the foreign trade policy of the Russian Federation and its integration into the world economy was carried out. Political and economic trends in the development of foreign economic relations have been identified, which have both highly effective “growth points” and ineffective ones. In general, the problem of reducing Russian exports remains, since an increase in foreign trade turnover is not accompanied by a similar increase in revenue due to capital leakage. Current issues related to the impact of the pandemic on economic security and the reorientation of several exports to new markets are being considered. The article concludes that the establishment of business and trade activity of our state through the customs industry will help to defeat the coronacrisis and reach new frontiers of economic development.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the development of the author’s mechanism for identifying, assessing and monitoring the conditions for the economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the natural resource potential of the Russian Arctic zone. It is shown that for the Russian Federation, the issue of “returning to the Arctic” is important because it will allow the sectors of the domestic economy to receive an additional impetus for development, to form an economic, social, scientific, technical and educational structure that will ensure the production, transportation, processing of oil and gas, the creation of new knowledge that will contribute to the development of new industries. The implementation of economic policy on the principles of sustainable development (as a set of measures in the tax, budget, investment, innovation and other spheres) of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is an extremely difficult and urgent task that requires taking into account a large number of factors, both external and internal. In this work, the main attention will be paid to the oil and gas potential of the Arctic region, since against the background of the global importance of hydrocarbons and in the context of the politicization of the energy sphere of international life, it is the prospect of developing the hydrocarbon resources of the Arctic shelf that seems to be an urgent task facing the Russian Federation. For the full implementation of the energy potential inherent in the Arctic region, a well-oiled mechanism for identifying, assessing and monitoring the conditions of economic development, the draft of which is proposed in this article, is important. In addition, this article proposes an organizational structure, as well as the rights and obligations of officials who should be included in the proposed Arctic Management Council. It is assumed that this Council will implement the proposed mechanism for the economic development of the Arctic zone of Russia.

Annotation: The topic of social protection of the low-income strata of the population becomes most relevant in times of crisis. The purpose of this study is, based on the analysis of the social protection system and a survey of the population of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), to identify the main problems in the provision of social support. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach that includes methods of analysis, synthesis, logic, polling and observation. Statistical methods of data processing are applied. The main results of the study are to present the current system of social protection of the population in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, to identify the needs of the population in social assistance and problems of the functioning of the system of social protection of the population. Among the main problems are highlighted: low level of funding, shortcomings in targeted support, problems in the organization and management of social protection in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, low level of public awareness of social support measures. The identified problems can be considered when developing social protection programs in the YNAO.

Annotation:

Annotation: The article examines the processes occurring in the global economy, their impact on foreign economic activity and the policy of the Russian Federation in this area. The foreign economic policy of the state should be aimed at expanding the sales markets of domestic goods, strengthening the country’s position and the competitiveness of the economy in global trade. The processes that occur in world trade in goods and services are dissonant. The article explains the causes of conflicting trends in the global economy. On the one hand, this is a weakening of globalization processes, on the other hand, the strengthening of protectionist measures, the protection of the domestic market by countries as a reaction to the consequences of the 2008–2009 crisis. The “economic wars” between the United States and China also have a negative impact on the global economy. The article analyzes the foreign economic activity of Russia, explores the causes of negative trends and the problems. The results of the research are the identification of the problems of the foreign economic sector of the Russian economy, the identification of perspective areas of international cooperation in the economic sphere.
