China’s Border in the Context of Investment Processes
In this paper we present the analysis of the influence of near-border effect on investment processes in Russian regions. This study has been elaborated with the use of multi-dimensional cluster analysis. Eastern near-border regions are in the two lowest clusters on per capita investment from all sources. One can see the same in respect to foreign investments. «Near-border» effect did not change the general tendency of the fall of these regions behind an average level in Russia. Our analysis shows that institutional barriers in the regional development are so strong that even near-border comparative advantages and rich natural assets do not help to overcome them.

Real Work of the Century
When the West-Siberian oil-and-gas area appeared in a map of the world in the sixties of the XX century, this event was treated as a discovery of the century. However, to develop such ample reserves of hydrocarbon meant to develop practically unpopulated territory of taiga, swamps and tundra in the North of the Tyumen Oblast alone – the territory which is equal to four territories of France. Moreover, it was required to construct not only the surface oil field facilities but also thousands of kilometers of pipelines, roads and power lines – in other words, everything which is called the production infrastructure. In addition we were to construct cities and towns with comfortable homes. It is no exaggeration to say that to implement the project of such a scale – the world have never seen before – and within an unprecedented time period is a real work of the century. A significant part of the leader burden fell on Gennady Pavlovich Bogomyakov, Prime Secretary of the Tyumen Oblast Committee of the Communist Party who was eighty years of age on June 30, 2010. Here a journal version of his memoirs is presented.
