There were reviewed the results of the study of the
dependence of main phenological phases of
development of corn hybrids of different maturity
groups of the selection of Krasnodar Research Institute
of Agriculture named after P.P. Lukyanenko in the arid
zone of Central Ciscaucasia (Ross 199, Ross 299,
Krasnodar 382 and Krasnodar 410) and the AllRussian
Research Institute of Corn (Mashuk 170,
Newton, RIC 345 and Eric), as well as early-middle
Rossiyskaya 1 from the changes of average daily air
temperature of planting dates and preplant seed
treatment by the preparation "TMTD-plus", containing
the growth promoter called Krezatsin in its
composition. The studies were conducted in
accordance with the thematic plan of scientific
researches of the department of crop and forage
production of Stavropol State Agrarian University. The
technology of maize growing on the experimental plot
corresponds to the standard technology for this area
and culture. The sowing was performed in three stages.
The first (early) sowing period was at t = + 7 ... +8 °
C. The second (recommended) – was at t = + 10 ... +
12 ° C. The third (later) sowing period was at t = +15 °
C. There was identified a high inverse correlation
between the average daily air temperature and the
duration of the intraphase periods of maize
propagation. Thus, at the shifting of maize sowing
dates with the second half of May on the second half of
April we have optimization of heat regime in the
generative period and rising of the efficiency of use of
thermal resources of the region. There was marked the
acceleration of development of corn seedlings when
the average daily air temperatures was up to 12 ° C at
the samples with the application of the disinfectant
TMTD-plus
The authors analyze the results of the lessons and
consequences of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945
in the context of modernity, as well as falsification
attempts to distort, defame and otherwise detract the
role of the USSR in the victory over Nazi Germany.
They argue that the knowledge of the truth about the
Great Patriotic War gives us the opportunity not only
proud of the feat of their fathers and grandfathers, our
homeland, but also strengthen the belief in the great
future of modern Russia. They say that for a long time in
Western historiography, and, unfortunately, in the
domestic, and plant abstracts, not only contrary to the
truth, archival materials and documents, but also the
common logic. In particular, the article in question of
who is to blame for fueling the war - the Soviet Union
and Germany, Stalin or Hitler? The authors argue that,
despite some external similarities in politics and
ideology of the two historical actors of Stalin and Hitler,
the two totalitarian regimes, it is really only superficial
similarities. The authors show that it is the ideology and
politics of fascism and Nazism became the primary
cause of the outbreak of Hitler started World War II, and
then the attack on the Soviet Union. The article stated a
direct continuity between past and present Nazi fascism,
emerging after the coup in the Ukraine with the direct
support of the West. The article analyzes and that
assistance provided by the Soviet Union and its allies in
the anti-Hitler Germany - United States and Britain.
Without belittling their contribution to winning, the
authors, however, have proved a decisive role of our
country in it
The article is devoted to the military and
administrative activities in the Caucasus in 1838–1842
y. one of the Royal Governors-Evgeny Aleksandrovich
Golovin. The author concludes that as a Russian
Patriot and aiming initially to make the Caucasus the
Russian spirit and legal institutions, Golovin began
gradually local features, and at the end of his
Administration Region tried to combine central
traditions with peripheral. His transformations were
appraised only after Evgeniy Aleksandrovich had left
Transcaucasia. For instance, in Tiflis they started
building more European-style constructions on
wastelands, erected causeways, pavements and pools
with clean mountain water. With its extraordinary
combination of the East and the West Tiflis turned into
one of the most interesting and largest cities of Russia.
As a truly Russian nobleman, General Golovin liked
living luxuriously, openly and hospitably. The best
representatives of the local society were welcomed in
his house in a warm-hearted and friendly manner,
which caused an unconscious sensation of gratitude
and left a favourable impression. Preliminary analysis
of activity of E.A. Golovin in Transcaucasia gives no
grounds for assessments which are extremely negative
or idealise the Chief Executive. Yet E.A. Golovin
managed to be remembered as a reformer and
facilitator of Transcaucasia whose numerous initiatives
were developed by his successors: M. S. Vorontsov,
A. I. Baryatinskiy, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich
and others
During the whole history of the Russian Imperial
Army the unchanging principles of its education were
moral and physical power, development of the mind
and volition. On these principles the Russian Army
grew. The formation of the theory and practice of
education in the Russian army was directly connected
with names of famous military leaders because good
training troops led to a successful execution of combat
missions. So, for example, the name of A. V. Suvorov
and his «The Science of Victory», the work which the
Field Marshal presented his original system of views
on ways to combat, training and educating soldiers are
well known. But at the same time, many other military
leaders have contributed to this hard work for the
benefit of the Russian army. In this article we focus
on coverage of the military pedagogic views and
activity of the military historian, writer, lieutenant
general V. A. Potto. The article details the pedagogical
approaches V. A. Potto’s to moral education of the
future officers and the opinion of general to
educational process at the military school, which
focuses mainly on the training of the Cossacks
The phenomenon of the special relationship in BritishAmerican
politics of the second part of the XX century
also received intensive development in the early XXI
century. In fact, according to conditions of modern
processes of globalization, cooperation between the
United States and Great Britain, as within framework
of NATO and in other international organizations,
became increasingly close. Both States played a
significant role in the international policy, working on
various issues of economy, politics, environment,
culture, etc. Attention is drawn to the forms of
cooperation between the studied States in the
implementation of military initiatives in the Balkans
(1998) and Iraq (2003). These events allowed
characterizing the first and final stages of the
development of relations between the United States
and Britain in the form of «special» in the period of
late XX – early XXI centuries. In the beginning of
XXI century the cooperation between the U.S. and the
UK in reforming NATO, taking into account national
foreign policy strategy of the USA, was an example of
favorable development of bilateral “special
relationship”. For London, the following external
course of the US has remained a higher priority than
for Washington
Current processes in socio-economic life of our
state make contact to the historical experience
accumulated by Russia for centuries. The rapid
development of the state, modernization of all
spheres of public life at the beginning of XXth
century still interfaced with a mass of adverse
events, balking a dynamic development of the
state. In the Siberian upcountry the situation was
exacerbated by a number of “chronic” issues such
as a high percentage of the exiles among the local
society, the total corruption of the bureaucracy, etc.
The article deals with the socio-economic status of
the Yenisei province in the early twentieth century.
Analysing the state of agriculture and individual
industries, existing in the region, it identifies the
challenges that they faced. The author cites some
quantitative characteristics that reveal the real state
of affairs in such crucial sectors of the economy
such as agriculture, animal husbandry. Moreover,
the article marks issues concerning carrier’s trade
and other specific crafts. As a research source was
taken the information provided by the “Siberian
observer” magazine – the edition, which bore
clearly oppositional character and did not have the
goal to put the best face forward the existing
situation in the region, and consequently – the
actions of the local authorities
In developed and developing countries around the
world, social security is beginning to gain a more important
role, directly or indirectly affecting one of any
economy priorities - maintaining and increasing the
welfare of society. At the same time, constantly evolving
and developing economic processes derive the task
of the social security system regulating on a more
complex level. There is a need for constant optimization
and bringing the above-mentioned mechanism to
such a state that would be able to meet modern criteria.
The provided by the state and non-state pension institutes
system acts as a basic element of social security
whose responsibility area is to create a comfortable
financial situation of old age people. Today the effectiveness
of the non-state provision system and private
pension funds lends itself to wide criticism that entails
the actualization and possible rethinking of the existing
theoretical framework. This article describes the theoretical
aspects of the private pension funds essence.
Here is the systematization of the many approaches to
the definition of the investigated institute. In addition,
the authors identify a number of private pension funds
features and functions. The article gives the authors
understanding of the private pension funds essence
The article reviews food security issues of Russia
under foreign sanctions and the state of food products
production and consumption in the Russian
Federation. Food security is considered as a major
factor of political and socio-economic stability of any
country, with Russia a no exception. However, it has
become one of the largest net food importers, chiefly
due to its agrarian sector weakness. The present paper
discusses major challenges of the agricultural industry
and necessary conditions for import substitution, gives
a definition to food security and analyzes Russian food
security in the terms of crisis. The authors assess
prospects for import substitution by domestic goods,
examine regional food production sectors and define
food-sufficiency level of the Russian population.
The article consequently infers that successful import
substitution rather than a redistribution of significant
import flows of agricultural products between
exporting countries requires a relatively long period,
which constitutes more than one or two years.
It is revealed, that Russian domestic production level
is insufficient for provisioning its population, which is
the main cause of the country importing necessary
amount of food from abroad. According to medical
norms, in spite of the positive consumption dynamics
of basic food products, the population does not receive
a significant amount of animal protein, vegetables and
fruit, and in a number of cases, the quality of food is
extremely low. In the article production of basic food
products, as well as average daily household food
rations per capita in terms of their energy and protein
value are subjected to analysis. Moreover, the article
gives an estimate to the Russian food import rates. It
studies the annual consumption of basic food products,
the dynamics of household expenditures share on food
and the number of Russian population whose incomes
are below the subsistence minimum
The cooperation and agroindustrial integration
development are important directions of agrofood
market growth. The article deals with the economic
benefits of cooperation and agroindustrial
integration, the cooperation system and forms in
agroindustrial complex, the creation principles
and economic efficiency of cooperatives
In the given article methodical bases of the analysis
and an estimation of a financial condition of agrarian
formations are considered, the revealed lacks of a
traditional technique of the analysis of a financial
condition of the agricultural organizations are
presented. Imperfection of the technique leads to
inexact estimations of liquidity of turnaround actives,
the balance sheet, financial stability, sources of
financing which can be the factor of acceptance of
irrational administrative decisions in use of financial
resources. The technique of a rating estimation of a
financial condition of the agricultural organization is
approved. Directions of strengthening of a financial
condition of the agrofirm are proved
