The article considers approaches to analyzing and determining institutional and resource conditions for the functioning of the Siberian economy at different stages of the economic and political history of Russia. We show the change in concepts of the Russian imperial and Soviet experiences in implementing territorial megaprojects for the development of Siberia. We propose a methodological approach to assessing and comparing their scales. The authors performed an expert assessment of the comparative importance of megaprojects for the economy of the country and the Siberian macroregion at different stages of historical development. It is shown that to date no stable trends have been formed that correspond to the quantitative parameters of state priority in relation to Siberia. It is concluded that the implementation of megaprojects is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the accelerated modernization of the economy and the achievement of largescale national and regional goals.

The article highlights the problems associated with one of the most important modern environmental challenges, which reflects the opportunities and limitations of the energy transition in Russian conditions. The “green” transformations taking place in the world, primarily in energy systems, growing climate change, and tightening environmental protection requirements determine the relevance and need for a timely and adequate response to the associated risks and threats. The modern energy transition reflects changes in the structure of primary energy consumption through the gradual expansion of the use of renewable energy sources. An analysis of the problems of the energy transition in Russia made it possible to identify the risks and threats caused by them, among which climate risks and threats, possible directions for decarbonization of the economy and the associated high costs of introducing renewable energy generation facilities, risks of increasing costs for reducing the carbon footprint of Russian companies in connection with the introduction of transboundary carbon regulation on world markets, risks associated with the need to reconstruct the energy system during the transition to the widespread use of renewable energy sources. lag in financing the transition to a low-carbon economy and the implementation of climate projects, etc. Proposals have been made for the formation of a system of measures aimed at neutralizing and minimizing relevant risks and threats. These proposals may be useful in developing management tools within the framework of environmental and economic policy at the regional and federal levels.

Banks and financial organizations use various software and technology solutions aimed at combating fraudulent transactions, and the range of such solutions is quite wide. But none of the solutions guarantees the complete elimination of various fraudulent activities. Therefore, anti-fraud systems are constantly developing and improving. In this paper, an attempt is made to systematize information regarding the construction of fraud monitoring systems, highlight the main approaches to creating such systems, briefly describe the methods and models used, and also present the results of a comparative analysis of the most well-known domestic and foreign fraud monitoring systems.

Entrepreneurship is able to contribute substantially to the support of economic and technological sovereignty, which makes urgent studies of different factors of its development. The growing attention to traditional family values raises a question about their importance as one of these factors. The world’s research experience in this problematic is treated with the help of bibliographical survey aimed at the detection of relevant sources and the systematization of information from them. It is established that 45 % of the total quantity of the selected articles in international journals argue a positive influence of family values on entrepreneurial activity, and none work informs about only negative influence. Thematically, the selected articles are diverse and can be gathered into five groups. The geographical analysis of the authors’ affiliations indicates on a scientific interest to this factor in twenty countries differing by historical-cultural and socio-economical aspects. Family values can be proven as a universal and positive factor of entrepreneurship development. The attention of the state to traditional family values in Russia provides with an important competitive advantage to the country, and the interest of domestic scientists in this factor matches the national interests.

The widespread use of the rating system in the life of almost every person raises the question of the value of their use, the objectivity and comprehensiveness of ratings.

The article diagnoses the sustainability of local budgets using the example of municipalities of the Novosibirsk region using budget coefficients. The structure of local budget revenues for the Russian Federation in general and for the municipalities of the Novosibirsk region in particular is characterized. Calculation of budget coefficients for 2012–2020 revealed a significant dependence of local budgets of the region on transfers from the budget of the Novosibirsk region, while municipalities that had the largest share of tax and non-tax revenues after transferring funds from the regional budget become the least wealthy. And although during the period under review the ratio of gratuitous transfers and tax and non-tax revenues is reduced, nevertheless, the vast majority of municipalities cover over 80 % of expenses with transfers from the regional budget.

The authors consider the economic security of foreign trade activities as an integral part of the country’s overall economic security strategy aimed at protecting the economic interests of domestic producers on the international market in the face of sanctions restrictions from unfriendly countries. The article evaluates the impact of sanctions on the structure of foreign trade activities; identifies challenges and threats to economic security and defines the directions of state policy to neutralize them. In the final section of the article, measures and recommendations are proposed to improve economic security in the field of foreign trade activity.

The transport and logistics industry plays a key role in the national economy of Russia, ensuring the movement of raw materials, supplies and goods. For this reason, the state of this sector, especially in the context of sanctions pressure, directly affects Russia’s economic growth and well-being. The author draws attention to the fact that, since traditional trade flows with Western countries have significantly decreased, domestic logistics has faced serious restrictions. Accordingly, the relevance of the topic is related to the need to find new routes and markets for Russian exporters. Various general scientific and special methods were used to conduct research, such as induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, classification, comparative analysis, descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, logical analysis, structural and functional analysis. In the course of his work, the author of the article relied on reliable open sources, such as the official websites of the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia and the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), as well as works by domestic authors devoted to similar issues. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the tightening of sanctions in 2022 affected the Russian economy in two ways. On the one hand, the pressure on sanctions has caused devastating consequences, such as increased transportation costs and disruption of logistics and production chains. On the other hand, the changes have forced Russian logisticians to actively look for new opportunities.
