The relevance of the article in the analysis of the modern geopolitical space in which there are dramatic changes that qualitatively alter the disposition of post-socialist countries and regions of the world under the influence of scientific, technological, information, organizational and social process. The process of forming regulatory mechanisms for the functioning of the financial markets of the post-Soviet countries is linked to the transformation processes of global monetary and financial relations management. In modern conditions, the national financial market cannot be separated from the processes occurring in the world economy. In the last decades theoretical and practical problems of geoeconomics and global science have been investigated in the works of foreign scientists: L. Abalkin, M. Alle, U. Anderson, A. Anikina, J. Ackerloff, J. Arriga, D. Bell, W. Beck, Z. Brzezinski, I. Wallerstein, L. Galitz, J. Gelbraith, E. Giddens, M. Golovnin, P. Drucker, A. Kavkin, M. Castels, D. Keynes, L. Krasavina, V. Kruglov and others. It is observed that in the process of interaction of various factors of development in the world markets, an appropriate market conjuncture is formed, which reflects changes in specific conditions of market functioning and supply and demand, related to the dynamics of prices for goods and profits of firms and based on the cyclical development of the world economy, reflecting the nature of a market economy. Research methods are based on general scientific principles and fundamental principles of economic theory, theories of international economic relations and financial globalization, evolving in the face of geo-economic changes. The development of post-socialist countries is characterized by significant differences in the rates of economic growth and stabilization of monetary and financial systems, which is caused by: first, a significant stratification of economies in terms of development; second, the disintegration processes in mutual trade and more successful integration into the global trading environment due to the accelerated liberalization of the foreign trade sector compared to the financial sector; third, the incompleteness of financial sector reforms and the low level of development of financial services markets, respectively, the inefficiency of financial integration; fourth, the monetary and financial systems of the countries of the region remain vulnerable to the external effects of the crisis. The most powerful post-socialist countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan) make more effective use of the benefits of globalization in the sphere of integration into the world economy.

The wild technological advancement since the mid of the 20th century and he progress in research around the earthen field determined new horizons and priorities in the scientific studies related to climate. In the end of the 20th century start the so called “high-frequency studies of the polar radiance”. Those are the American programs HAARP and HPAAS – Alaska, and LIRPU-Porto Rico; the Russian SURA – Nijniy Novgorod, and the EISAT (Norway, Germany, France, Great Britain, Finland, Japan and China) – nearby Tromsø in Norway. The official purpose of those research programs is the improvement of communications, and satellite observation. But in the last decade in the scientific field it is more and more actively discussed that the priority are actually the developments and experimental activities with the so called “climatic weapon”, realizing direct human influence on the climatic conditions in specific parts of the earth surface.

Introduction. The article examines the effects of one of the contemporary global problems – the pollution of aquatic ecosystems by toxic substances with the main focus on the cooling pond called Lake Kenon. The purpose of this work is to study migration patterns and distribu-tion of medium and highly toxic elements (Hg, As, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cu, Cd, Mn) in the components of the Lake Kenon ecosystem. Materials and Methods. Collection and qualitative and quantitative treatment of samples of various groups of hydrobionts were carried out by standard methods. Elemental composi-tions of water samplings, bottom sediments and hydrobionts samplings were identified using atomic emission iCAP-6500 Thermo Scientific (USA) and mass-spectrum X-7, Thermo Elemental (USA) analysis methods in Analytical Certification Test Center (The Institute of Microelectronics Technology and Highpurity Materials of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The authors stud-ied the concentration of medium- and high-toxic elements, such as Hg, As, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cu, Cd, Mn.Results. The results indicate that the concentration of heavy metals in the water of the lake, with the exception of mercury, is low. The average concentrations of arsenic and cadmium in sediments are 1.4 times and 2.5 times higher than the background values respectively. It is found that mercury concentrates in the food chain from the lower to the higher trophic levels, lead accumulates mainly in the plankton community in terms of trophic factors amplification of heavy metals in food chains. It is identified that such elements as As, Cr, Cu, Cd are lingered on at the level of producers (phytoplankton, algae Characeae, higher aquatic vegetation) during migration. Conclusions. The conclusion of the paper substantiates the possibility of heavy metals accumulation in aquatic ecosystems which are used in the operation of the CHP, as well as the prospects for using hydrobionts as contamination bioindicators of heavy metals. Understanding the processes occurring in aquatic ecosystems, including the migration of heavy metals, at the stage of work planning can contribute to reducing environmental risks.

The paper focuses on the insufficiently studied expeditions to the Kola Peninsula for resource exploration that were organized in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries by mineralogist A.F. Gebel and ornithologist H.F. Gebel. A retrospective study of the history of these expeditions was carried out based on a wide range of sources, reports, and documentation of the Academy of Sciences, as well as the expedition materials and personal documents. It was revealed that the studies of the Northwest of the Russian Empire in the period under consideration represented a separate direction of expeditionary academic research, but, with regard to the context of development of the research activities at the maritime and military departments of Russia and the Russian Geographical Society, the number of expeditions organized by the Academy of Sciences decreased considerably. However, privately organized expeditions related to the industrial development of Russia were supported in the Academy of Sciences. In the case of initiative expedition for resource exploration, the assistance came from A.F. Gebel, the Director of the Mineralogical Museum of the Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of National Education. Privately organized expeditions for exploration of new resource deposits were also ordered by potential investors into the industrial development of the Kola North. One of such expeditions was the H.F. Gebel’s travel to Ponoy in search of copper.

In the conditions of globalization of the world economy independence of any state is impossible without solving such importantproblem as finding its niche on the world market. Study of potential of national economy and its positioning on the world market is theproblem which requires not only attention, but also studies. Assessment of real condition of economy and results of externaleconomic activities may become the starting platform for formulating the priorities of export policy of the Republic of Belarus.The aim of article is to substantiate the provision that in the conditions of integration into the world economy, stimulation andoptimization of export potential of the Republic of Belarus and development of directions for the increase of its effectiveness aredrastically important.The following tasks shall be solved for achieving the above aim: to characterize tasks and instruments of stimulation; to determinepeculiarities of development of export in foreign countries and assess their export potential; to analyze the condition of exportpotential of the Republic of Belarus and propose the directions of its increase.Conclusions. The most important role of the state in export development lies in the support of exporters by means of creatingfavorable external environment and motivation factors. The state may also stimulate export by means of technical and financialsupport (in most cases indirect support – for examples, subsidies for income from the establishment of commodity distributionnetworks), paying attention to the small and medium enterprises lacking the necessary resources. Export decision including on thestructure of commodity distribution networks shall be taken by the companies. Similar decisions are the most effective on micro–level,as they allow taking into account peculiarities of the separate enterprises, their products and target markets.

The paper defines the essence of the economic core territorial production system, the criteria for selecting the elements identifiedin the economic core, and gives a description of the elemental composition and structure of the core of the regional economy.An important feature of the proposed article approach to the definition of the economic structure of the core is a multivariantof this approach, which allows to determine the elemental composition of the core of the regional socio-economicsystem based on the factors and conditions associated with this industry-specific territorial-economic complex in the generalsystem of social reproduction.The article offers and criteria for selecting potential elements in the optimal variant of the economic core, whereby thecore of the economy have been identified Udmurt Republic and the Kursk region - two important subjects of the RussianFederation, the development of effective territorial proizvedstvennoy system which is essential for the successfuldevelopment of the Russian economy in general. This is especially true in the current crisis conditions, largely due to theimposition of sanctions on the part of the developed Western countries against the Russian Federation.The author proposed approach to understanding the essence of the economic core is largely different from that of thepoles of growth points, as in this case, in addition to the nucleus growth poles also include those industries and productionthat form the basis of economic system. It is also important that developing an approach allows the author to determine thecomposition and structure of the economic core with the industry, regional or functional specificity, as well as at differentlevels of the hierarchical control system.On the basis of the proposed approach can define the economic core in other countries and their regions, however, themost important use of the concept of the nucleus of the economy in terms of its crisis or in transition from one socioeconomicsystem to another period, as well as in underdeveloped countries.

Bratislav Ivanov's new book is dedicated to the values and traditions of the Japanese culture. Already in the early twentieth century, French scientist Henry Dumolard draws attention to the fact that the Japanese people are guided by their logic and draw conclusions that are often incomprehensible to Europeans. To understand the Japanese people, we need to know the values that form the core of their culture. A key to their understanding is the geographical environment, mythology, religion, and Japan's history.
