The article describes the current environmental legislation in Russia, the effectiveness of which is generally evaluated as low. The author of the article sees the main reason for such a situation in the absence of a federal specialized executive body in the environmental sphere, which would be directly interested in the development of environmental law. It is emphasized that the current increase in the number of environmental laws, as a rule, does not entail an improvement in environmental affairs. This is largely due to the insufficient elaboration of the mechanism for the implementation of various legal norms reflecting issues of compliance, use, application and punishment for violations in the environmental sphere, as well as due to the lack of effective levers that would encourage enterprises to introduce environmental protection measures. This, in particular, convincingly confirms the current situation in the field of forestry and water management, by the example of which the main problematic aspects of the application of forest and water legislation are analyzed. It is shown that the adoption of editions of the Water (2006) and Forest (2007) codes not only did not improve the situation in the field of water and forest management, but also greatly aggravated the existing and gave rise to new problems. The consequences of serious gaps in forest and water law are disclosed and measures are proposed for the development of environmental legislation in force in Russia.

Institutional changes within the public procurement system in the Russian Federation are based on establishing economic conditions that reduce informational asymmetry and transaction costs of exchanges. The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the basic regulatory documents that have determined the conducts rules for government customers and suppliers in public and municipal procurement in 2001–2018 with the emphasis on electronization of procurement technologies. A frequency histogram of common lexical codes in the sequence of basic regulatory documents is compiled. The author arrives to conclusions about the attitude of legislators to securing the quality of procured products, the anticorruption aspect of the law and electronization of this sector of the economy. Qualitative characteristics of significant correlation ratios between lexical codes help evaluate the informational basis embedded in the regulatory documentation.

Besides direct financial benefits, innovation activity offers wide spectrum of opportunities for solution of given societal problems, including those linked to anthropogenic influence on the environment. It is argued conceptually that a regional innovation system is able to act as instrument of efficient nature-use management in conditions of heavy metal pollution via formation of infrastructure for achievement of complex project solutions. Consideration of the example of mercury pollution in lower Don River in the Rostov Region shows that the initial phase of formation of the regional innovation systems and unsustainability of its development limit the utility of such an instrument, especially in regard to the multiple and heterogeneous sources of pollution.

This article explores the high-tech industries of manufacturing and services in Russia. We identify their sources of growth during the crisis period and features of territorial distribution. Sources of growth are different for different industries. The generation of new enterprises had the greatest impact on the growth of revenues of service industries related to the development of software and information technologies. The leading source of growth in manufacturing industries was the development of existing enterprises, which showed revenue growth significantly higher than the rate of inflation. We also found significant differences in the geographical location of high-tech industries in Russia.

The structuring was carried out and the system of statistical indicators for assessment of the population differentiation was offered and tested.

The article proposes a model for assessing the food provision of regions. As a methodological toolkit for analysis, an integral indicator has been developed, a food provision index that takes into account groups of indicators in the sphere of production, distribution and consumption of food products. In order to analyze the differentiation of regions in food provision, a food provision matrix is used, which allows ranking regions by level of food products availability. Approbation of the proposed methodological tools is being carried out on the example of the regions of the Southern Federal District (SFD). The results obtained are of practical importance in the implementation of monitoring and evaluation of the state of food provision in the regions.
