Abstract: This article examines the main staged of formation and development of the Ukrainian nationalistic movement, as well as analyzes its fundamental orientation and impact upon the current Russian-Ukrainian relations in this context. It is demonstrated that the Ukrainian nationalism throughout many years is used as the instrument for separating the civilizational paths of the peoples who reside in the territory of Ukraine and Russia, as well as their contraposition within the cultural-historical overview. Civilizational reorientation of Slavic nation of the neighboring state towards the Western model establishes based on the attempts to cultivate the understanding of the different from Russian national distinctness of the Ukrainians and counterpoise them in the historical-cultural regard. The conclusion is made that Urkainization, as a process of formation of the features of self-identification and specificity of the new nation that is aimed at separation of Ukrainian people from Russian and highlighting a peculiar Ukrainian Slavic ethnos, carries a systematic and artificial character, which is encouraged by the foreign political actors throughout many decades. In addition to that, the interlinked with Nazism aggressive form of Ukrainization, is the key instrument of demarcation of the civilizational paths of Ukraine and Russia. The authors also note that the forceful methods of promoting the nationalistic ideas with the specificities of their interpretations by the Ukrainian politicians, lead to active antagonism of part of the population, which creates the prerequisite for the process of Balkanization of the neighboring state.

The rules of assessment of the efficiency of functionality of SEZ were introduced by the Russian government in 2013, and did not undergo any changes until the present time. Thus, the scientific novelty lies in suggestions pertaining to the improvement of this mechanism, considering the international experience and results of the audits of SEZ by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:   The established “banking” model of financial infrastructure of Russian does not have the resources for development in the long-term perspective. Low level of involvement of the institutions of financial infrastructure into financing of the development of national economy defines the relevance of examination of the possible consequences of preservation of this model in the context of country’s financial security under the conditions of global competition. The subject of this article is the role of the institutions of financial infrastructure in ensuring Russia’s financial security. Special attention is given to the analysis of the established structure of sources for financing of the investments and main capital. The author substantiates the necessity of converting the acting model of financial infrastructure development into the “institutional”. During the course of this research, the author proposed the four possible scenarios of further development of Russia’s economy, depending on the vector of development of the national financial infrastructure in mid and long-term perspective. Under the conditions of global competition, the priority is given to the “target” and the “optimistic” types of scenarios, which meet the requirements of financial security. The conclusion is made on the need for generating the mechanism of ensuring financial security to the Russian Federation along with determining the possible tools of its implementation.
