Introduction to Daurian Gothic: What It Is and How It Has Emerged in Transbaikalia
Medieval horror, vampires, sorcerers, mysterious monks and the rising dead, alongside real historical figures and stories about the Russian Civil War wrapped in the aura of mysticism – this is perhaps the shortest formula for Daurian Gothic. Alexei Mikhalev, Doctor of Political Science, discusses this phenomenon and its evolution.

UNDERSTANDING THE RUSSIAN MALAISE: THE COLLAPSE AND RECOVERY OF SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN POST-COMMUNIST RUSSIA
Inglehart R. F., Foa R., Ponarin E. et al. BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: SOCIOLOGY. WP BRP 32/SOC/2013 . Higher School of Economics, 2013
This article analyzes the decline of subjective well-being and a sense of national self-esteem among the Russian people that was linked with the collapse of the communist economic, political and social systems in the 1990s—and a subsequent recovery of subjective well-being that began more recently. Subjective well-being is closely linked with economic development, democracy and physical health. The people of rich countries tend show higher levels than those of poor countries, but already in 1982, the Russia people ranked lower on happiness and life satisfaction than the people of much poorer countries such as Nigeria or India; external signs of this malaise were rising alcoholism and declining male life expectancy. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, subjective well-being in Russia fell to levels never seen before, reaching a low point in 1995 when most Russians described themselves as unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives as a whole. Since 2000, this trend has been reversing itself, but in 2011 Russia still ranked slightly lower than its level in 1981.
GENES, SECURITY, TOLERANCE AND HAPPINESS
Inglehart R. F., Borinskaya S., Cotter A. et al. Basic research program. WP BRP. National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2013. No. 31/SOC/2013.
This paper discusses correlations between certain genetic characterestics of the human populations and their aggregate levels of tolerance and happiness. We argue that a major cause of the systematic clustering of genetic characteristics may be climatic conditions linked with relatively high or low levels of parasite. This may lead certain populations to develop gene pools linked with different levels of avoidance of strangers, which helped shape different cultures, both of which eventually helped shape economic development. Still more recently, this combination of distinctive cultural and economic and perhaps genetic factors has led some societies to more readily adopt gender equality and high levels of social tolerance, than others. More tolerant societies tend to be happier because they create a more relaxed environment conducive to happiness.
Еще один «рывок»? Образы коллективного прошлого, настоящего и будущего в современных дискуссиях о модернизации
Малинова О. Ю. Политическая наука. 2012. № 2. С. 49-72.
The article is devoted to analysis of discursive practices of public representation and discussion of the political course of "modernization" announced by president Dmitry Medvedev. It is focused at interpretations of the idea of modernization by the leading Russian politicians as well as at the role of the notions about collective past, present and future in its ideological justification and contestation.
Transformations In The Rural Life In Russian Belgorod Region In 2000-2013 Through "Modernization" Theoretical Perspective: Increasing Material Well-Being, Growing Individualism And Persisting Pessimism
Efendiev A., Sorokin P. S., Kozlova M. A. Sociology. SOC. Высшая школа экономики, 2014. No. WP BRP 56/SOC/2014 .
In the present paper we analyze transformations in the life of rural population in the Belgorod region, Russia, in the period 2000-2013 in the context of active development of large vertically integrated enterprises – agroholdings. These transformations are seen through the prism of "modernization" concept: agroholdings promote advanced agricultural technologies, professional management and modern organization of labor and thus may be considered as an important factor stimulating rural modernization in Belgorod region. The traditional understanding of "modernization" in sociology implies a progressive transition from a "pre-modern" or "traditional" to a "modern" society which means changes in many areas such as: occupational structure (including the development of entrepreneurship), material well-being (growth of living condition resulting from efficient economy), and increase in rationality and individualism. However, literature shows that the adaptation to modernization processes might be painful for the local communities and for the society in general. Hence, reflecting on both, modernization theoretical framework and literature on Russian rural development, in our analysis of transformations in Belgorod region we focus on the following aspects: firstly, material well-being and living conditions of rural population; secondly, individualism and attitudes towards achievement and economic success; thirdly, the attractiveness of private farming. Finally, we look at the general perception by the rural population of their future (from the point of view of optimism/pessimism). The research is based on the two empirical studies, conducted in the years 2000 and 2013 which utilized similar methodology in the similar 15 villages of the Belgorod region. Possibly, the most interesting empirical finding is that despite rapid growth of material well-being of the rural population, the pessimistic expectations are no less widespread in 2013 than in 2000. This illustrates the complex nature of the transformations of the rural life in Belgorod region.
Believers' Letters of Advertising: St Xenia of Petersburg's 'National Reception Centre'
Kormina J. V., Shtyrkov S. In bk.: Russian cultural anthropology after the collapse of communism. Iss. 34. Berkeley; Los Angeles; L.: London and new York, 2012. Ch. 7. P. 155-182.
The chapter focuses on one of the ways to communicate with the sacred popular among contemporary Russian Orthodox believers – written appealing to the saints (letters and notes). Although not happy at all about this habit, the Church managers allow to publish these letters in the parish newspapers and web-sites and in other church mass-media. Analysis of publications of the letters addressed to Saint Xenia of Petersburg proves that the Church publishes them as a part of its advertising campaign targeted on those people who prefer irregular religiosity (pilgrimages, letters to the saint, etc) to traditional regular parish life. The chapter develops Peter Berger's metaphor of religious market.

ITB infoservice. Berichterstattung zur Forschungs-, Technologie- und Innovationspolitik weltweit. Russland – Modernisierung durch Innovation und Forschung
Mienert M., Jörn G., Josten M. и др. Вып. 24. Бонн: Германское министерство науки и образования, 2012.
Seit Mai 2011 läuft mit großem Erfolg das Deutsch-Russische Jahr der Bildung, Wissenschaft und Innovation. Eine Kampagne zur Werbung für den Innovationsstandort Deutschland in Russland schließt sich im Frühjahr an. Sie steht – wie das Wissenschaftsjahr – unter dem Motto "Russia and Germany –Partnership of Ideas". Anlass genug, diese fünfte Schwerpunktausgabe des ITB infoservice dem für Deutschland strategisch wichtigen Partnerland Russland zu widmen. Unter dem Titel "Russland – Modernisierung durch Innovation und Forschung" gibt sie einen Überblick über die aktuellen forschungs- und innovationspolitischen Trends und Entwicklungen in Russland und zeigt ganz unterschiedliche Facetten der FuE-Kooperation Russlands mit Deutschland und der EU. Unter anderem wird deutlich, welchen Stellenwert Innovationen für die Modernisierung Russlands haben. So bezeichnet der russische Vizeminister für Bildung und Wissenschaft, Sergey Ivanets, im Interview Innovation als Schlüsselfaktor für Russlands soziale und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und sieht in der Innovationsförderung die geeignete Antwort auf interne strukturelle Barrieren und die Herausforderungen der Globalisierung. Als weitere wichtige Träger der russischen Innovationsbestrebungen werden beispielsweise die "Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises", das "Russian Technology Transfer Network" und die Technologie-Cluster St. Petersburg und Samara/Togliatti vorgestellt. Im zweiten Teil dieser Ausgabe finden Sie Beiträge zu Bildungs- und Forschungsthemen, die einen weiten Bogen von der Medizintechnik über die Weltraumforschung bis hin zu den Geisteswissenschaften schlagen. Ein ganzer Themenkomplex beschäftigt sich mit einem Förderwettbewerb der russischen Regierung, der sich an führende internationale Wissenschaftler richtet und unter dem Schlagwort "Megagrants" auch außerhalb Russlands für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt hat. Im Interview mit einem der deutschen Wettbewerbsgewinner erhalten Sie Einblicke in die Zusammenarbeit mit russischen Forschungsgruppen.
Elites - the Choice for Modernization
Grigoryev L. M. In bk.: Russia: the Challenges of Transformation. NY: NYU-Press, 2011. P. 191-225.
Nature abhors a "vacuum" - the new power elite arrives at the time of major social and political transformations and endeavours to shore up its position within the country and obtain support from outside. New power groups, which are active at times of revolution and who replace, push aside or even depose the old elites and impose their own control over the state machine and position themselves as new power elite.There are themselves not immune to social transformation, especially in the first decades of coming to their new commanding role. Unless its claims are given legitimacy it is unable to implement its positive programme, which it immediately claims as the national programme. Every country "acquires" a new functioning elite - political, financial and intellectual - from revolution or a change of regime. The old elite may lose control and depart or upon luck may merge into a new combination of social strata of particular country. We also believe that the composition and the structure of elites is the country-specific and reflect one's country history.

Democracy versus Modernization: a dilemma for Russia and for the world
Edited by: V. L. Inozemtsev, P. Dutkiewicz. NY: Routledge, 2012.
This book seeks to "re-think democracy." Over the past years, there has been a tendency in the global policy community and, even more widely, in the world's media, to focus on democracy as the "gold standard" by which all things political are measured. This book re-examines democracy in Russia and in the world more generally, as idea, desired ideal, and practice. A major issue for Russia is whether the modernization of Russia might not prosper better by Russia focusing directly on modernization and not worrying too much about democracy. This book explores a wide range of aspects of this important question. It discusses how the debate is conducted in Russia; outlines how Russians contrast their own experiences, unfavourably, with the experience of China, where reform and modernization have been pursued with great success, with no concern for democracy; and concludes by assessing how the debate in Russia is likely to be resolved.

Constructing Identities And Boundaries: Fashion And Clothing Of Working And Middle Class Youth In Contemporary Russia
Margarita Kuleva. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2015. No. 85.
Clothing and fashion play significant role in the process of ageing, and help put bodily experiences in the context of culture. It is especially important for young people as social subjects, who are starting to become independent but do not have sufficient experience and social competences to do this. This paper explores how youth of middle and working class in Russia use clothing to denote their social identity and construct boundaries.The paper is based on materials of 81 IDI with young people from St. Petersburg.

Collective Dominance and its Abuse under the Competition Law of the Russian Federation
Avdasheva S. B., Goreyko N., Pittman R. World Competition: Law and Economics Review. 2012. Vol. 35. No. 2. P. 245-268.
In 2006, Russia amended its competition law and added the concepts of 'collective dominance' and its abuse. This was seen as an attempt to address the common problem of 'conscious parallelism' among firms in concentrated industries. Critics feared that the enforcement of this provision would become tantamount to government regulation of prices. In this paper we examine the enforcement experience to date, looking especially closely at sanctions imposed on firms in the oil industry. Some difficulties and complications experienced in enforcement are analysed, and some alternative strategies for addressing anticompetitive behaviour in concentrated industries discussed.

Is Education a Signal on the Russian Labour Market?
Aistov A. Education. EDU. Высшая школа экономики, 2012. No. 5.
This research focuses on estimating the signalling role of education on the Russian labour market. Two well-known screening hypotheses are initially considered. According to first of these, education is an ideal filter of persons with low productivity: education does not increase the productivity of a person, but it does give him the possibility to signal about his innate productivity via an educational certicate. The second of these hypotheses admits that productivity actually does increase during the period of study, but nevertheless the main objective of getting an education is to acquire a signal about one's productivity. Information theory suggests that employees use education signals during the hiring processes whereby employers screen potential employees. Employers and other categories of self-employed workers are usually not screened by the labour market via their educational attainments. Comparison of the returns to education of employees vs. self-employed workers could show the difference between the returns to signals and the returns to human capital. Yet another way to understand the signals is to consider the time dynamics of the returns to education for employees staying in the same firm. This helps us to answer the question about whether the signals are valuable only during the hiring process, or whether they remain valuable during the whole experience with the firm. This research is based on the Mincerian-type earnings functions, estimated on RLMS-HSE and NOBUS data. On the basis of the available information, we cannot say that the returns to signals and human capital differ significantly in Russia. Nevertheless we can say that, for the majority of men, the return to educational signals decreases with time spent in the same firm, while we observe the opposite for women.
