The aim of the article is to determine location of ethnic Ukrainians’ small industrial manufacturing in the economy of the Russian Empire of the second half of the XIX – beginning of the XX century. Primary attention is given to characterizing the causes of small industrial entrepreneurship expansion and development among ethnic Ukrainian population of Eastern Slobozhanschyna , Kuban’, Lower and Middle Volga, South-Western Siberia, the Far East and other regions of Ukrainians’ settling outside the Dnieper river territory of Ukraine and their impact on country’s economy as a whole. The main factor that stipulated for active ethnic Ukrainians’ involvement in the handicraft industry development was establishment in the administrative boundaries of many Russian provinces and regions of densely populated by the Ukrainian population territories, on which Ukrainian communities established diverse small industrial manufacturing and formed big handicraft centers. Major part of the Ukrainian diaspora in Russia was formed by migration of the Ukrainians that populated the Dnieper river territory of Ukraine to the interior provinces of the Russian Empire. Statistical data of the lists of Samara, Kuban’, Don, Stavropol, Tver’ and other regions’ populated areas, as well as that of Siberia and the Far East are presented in the article. Reproduction of small industrial entrepreneurship development in the Ukrainian ethnic areas of Russia during the second half of XIX – beginning of the XX century, its thorough scientific analysis, allows the author to refute the idea that had been rooted in the soviet historiography and stated insignificant role of the ethnic Ukrainian economy, including small industrial manufacturing, ethnic in Russian economy, their gradual decline in the market conditions with regard to the developed market economic system of the Russian Empire and extremely primitive forms, in which traditional Ukrainian crafts and handicrafts existed under the conditions, established by the Russian Empire. In the Ukrainian ethnic areas and other regions of Ukrainians’ compact and dispersed settlements in the administrative boundaries of Russian provinces and regions there were from 850 thousand to 1180 thousand of ethnic Ukrainians that were employed in the field of handicrafts and crafts while small industrial manufacturing itself gave more than 40% of all non-agricultural goods, produced in Ukrainian enclaves. In some fields this index reached up to 100%.

Research background: A series of changes towards the greater openness to the influx of foreign labour force made in recent years in the Russian Federation prompts for analysis of immigration to this country as adopted solutions in the field of the migration policy affect other regions of destination (e.g. EU). Liberalisation of access of migrants to the Russian labour market is a part of a wider problem: competition (on an international scale) for an influx of foreign labour force. In this context, it is worth examining how the crisis which affected the Russian economy influenced the scale of immigration to Russia from the main sending countries, i.e. the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to show the impact of the crisis which affected the Russian economy in recent years on the scale of immigration from the CIS countries to Russia. The main hypothesis is as follows: the factor explaining immigration from the CIS countries to Russia is the difference in the level of income measured by GDP per capita (PPP) between the sending state and the country of destination. Such studies have not been undertaken so far and, due to the role of factors inherent in the concept of post-imperial migration, it becomes relevant to examine whether the factors shaping migration (including the differences in the level of income) recognised in the neoclassical theory of migration are important in explaining the flows in this area. Methods: In order to check the relationship between immigration and the economic crisis in Russia, the analysis of correlation and regression was used. Findings & Value added: It has been shown that despite the decline in GDP in Russia, immigration from the CIS countries to Russia is not decreasing. Therefore, it is a dependence different from the assumptions of the neoclassical economy according to which the reduction of differences in the level of income between the sending state and the country of destination reduces the scale of international migrations. As it has been shown, the scale of migration to Russia may not be explained by the difference in the level of GDP per capita in all CIS countries and, inter alia, political factors, conflicts or naturalisation processes become more important in shaping the scale of migration to Russia.

The aim of the study is to identify the macroeconomic implications of privatization in Poland and Russia. The author argues that institutional differences between the two coun-tries led to different consequences of privatization. In Poland, this process allowed the development of entrepreneurship and a significant decoupling of the economy from politi¬cal decisions. In contrast, the transformation in Russia has strengthened the role of the oli-garchs, which in turn led to the strengthening of the relationship between the economy and politics. Long-term consequences of this process are: the monopolization of the Russian economy, dependence on the mining sector and a low potential for innovation.

The natural resource sector has become a dominant part of the Russian economy and thus affected the political developments of the state greatly. Understanding of the interplay of Russian politics and economics after the fall of the Soviet Union is integral for understanding why Russia has developed steadily into a more autocratic direction during the past few decades. The phenomenon through which we will be analyzing the intertwining of political and economic spheres of Russia is the natural resource curse concept. We seek to understand what factors have contributed to Russia’s failure to avoid the natural resource curse and give examples on how the natural resource curse manifests itself especially in today’s Russia political reality. Does the abundance of natural resources contribute to the emergence of a hyper-presidential, autocratic regime in Russia?

Głównym celem artykułu jest omówienie wstępnych wyników badań, dotyczących uczestnictwa inwestorów instytucjonalnych w systemie nadzoru korporacyjnego w Rosji. Inwestorzy instytucjonalni odgrywają znacząca rolę w rynkach kapitałowych wybranych krajów rozwiniętych. Ich rola stopniowo rośnie również dla krajów rozwijających się, w tym Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej. Powstanie i rozwój grupy inwestorów instytucjonalnych w Rosji możliwe było przede wszystkim dzięki rozpoczęciu procesu prywatyzacji przedsiębiorstw państwowych. Początkowo w roli inwestorów instytucjonalnych występowały w Rosji tzw. czekowe fundusze inwestycyjne. Ich pozycja nie była jednak znacząca w rozwoju systemu nadzoru korporacyjnego z uwagi na cele ich tworzenia oraz dominującą rolę menedżerów i banków. Pierwsza dekada XXI w., pomimo rozwoju rynku finansowego, kapitałowego i korzystnej koniunktury gospodarczej do 2008 r., również nie przyniosła wzrostu znaczenia inwestorów instytucjonalnych w sektorze korporacyjnym. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań własnych dotyczących struktury własności największych spółek publicznych w Rosji. Wskazują one na względnie niski udział inwestorów instytucjonalnych we własności badanych firm. Ich rola w systemie nadzoru korporacyjnego jest jednak ograniczona z uwagi na wybrane cechy tego systemu w Rosji, jak silna pozycja dominujących akcjonariuszy, oparcie kontroli korporacyjnej o połączenie własności i zarządzania, niski poziom przestrzegania praw akcjonariuszy mniejszościowych.

The main goal of the article is to discuss the initial results of research concerning institutional investors participation in corporate governance in Russia. Institutional investors play significant role in capital markets of selected developed economies. Their role is rising in developing economies, including Central and Eastern Europe, too. Development of institutional investors in Russia was possible mainly because of privatization process. At the beginning, in Russia there were created cheque investment funds. Their role in corporate governance development wasn’t significant because of the dominant position of managers and banks. The first decade of 21st century, despite of financial market development and economic prosperity until 2008, the role of institutional investors in corporate sector wasn’t significant, too. The article contains the own research results if ownership structure in the biggest public companies in Russia. They present the relative low participation of institutional investors in ownership. Their role in corporate governance is restricted because of strong position of dominant shareholders, combination of ownership and control and relative low standards of complying the minority shareholders rights.

Russia is a major exporter of energy resources, oil and gas. Its economy is very much dependent on world prices of these products. At the beginning of 2020, the prices of energy resources fell significantly all around the world, which hit the Russian economy hard. At the same time, the corona virus pandemic SARS-CoV-2 was spreading rapidly. The article presents the consequences that have affected the entire economy as well as the banking sector. It describes the actions taken by the Bank of Russia to protect both the banking sector and customers. As a result of the deteriorating financial situation, the central bank has loosened monetary policy. In this way, it has channeled additional financial resources to the market. Rules were also adopted that allowed commercial banks to ease the requirements for customers applying for credits. The actions of the Bank of Russia and the credit policy of commercial banks aimed at supporting the economy and the population only partially mitigate the effects of coronavirus pandemic. In the coming years, the effectiveness of the efforts will depend on factors in both global economy as well as Russia’s internal economic policy as well as on the nature and dynamics of changes enabling stabilization of the banking sector.

Rosja jest znaczącym eksporterem surowców energetycznych, ropy naftowej i gazu. Jej gospodarka jest w bardzo dużym stopniu uzależniona od cen światowych tych produktów. Na początku 2020 r. ceny surowców energetycznych na świecie znacząco spadły, co mocno uderzyło w gospodarkę Rosji. Jest to też czas gwałtownego rozprzestrzenia się pandemii koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2. W artykule zaprezentowano konsekwencje, które dotknęły całą gospodarkę, a także sektor bankowy. Opisano działania, jakie podjął Bank Rosji w celu ochrony sektora bankowego i klientów. Wskutek pogarszającej się sytuacji finansowej bank centralny poluzował politykę pieniężną. W ten sposób skierował na rynek dodatkowe środki finansowe. Przyjęto też zasady, które umożliwiły bankom komercyjnym złagodzenie wymagań wobec klientów starających się o kredyty. Działania Banku Rosji i polityka kredytowa banków komercyjnych, skierowane na wspieranie gospodarki i ludności, łagodzą tylko częściowo skutki pandemii koronawirusa. W perspektywie najbliższych lat skuteczność podejmowanych wysiłków będzie zależeć od czynników występujących zarówno w gospodarce światowej, jak i wewnętrznej polityce gospodarczej Rosji oraz w charakterze i dynamice zmian umożliwiających stabilizowanie sektora bankowego.
