DOI: 10.33917/es-1.199.2025.58-65

The article dwells on legal aspects of procedural issues during elections in the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the consequences of violations. Procedure for election to the post of director of a scientific organization should comply with the RF legislation, be justified by the election regulations and not be formal in nature. There are a number of violations that are grounds for recognizing the election results as null and void, contradicting the foundations of law and order, as well as morality. Such election practices in RAS institutes undermine the credibilit y of science in the eyes of society.

Parallels and Meridians of Economy and Society (Strata and Routes)

DOI: 10.33917/es-1.199.2025.50-57

The author examines a “geodesic” model of the country’s socio-economic space, based on analogues of the geographical concepts of parallel and meridian as structural landmarks for an object’s location in the socio-economic space. The role of parallels is played by socio-economic strata, combining trajectories of the possible movement of agents without significantly increasing their status in the economy and society. The role of meridians is performed by routes that determine the possibilities of increasing the agent’s status without significantly changing the nature and location of his professional activity. This model can be used for navigation of socio-economic agents when moving in space, as well as for identifying current directions of socio-economic policy aimed at increasing the continuity and coherence of the socio-economic space of Russia. The geodesic model of socio-economic space, based on a grid of parallels and meridians, allows scaling and application not only to country systems, but also to other hierarchical socio-economic systems, including enterprises, cities, and sectors of the economy.
