Within the framework of this article, the possibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles in forests is considered. The specific object of research is the territory of the Republic of Sakha in Yakutia of the Russian Federation. The choice is explained by the size of this region - it is the largest in the country. The relevance of this article is explained by the description of the experience and principles of using UAVs in the regions of Russia. The paper also provides statistics on fires over the past 4 years, demonstrates all the main fire centers, as well as the principles of their distribution. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use several models of unmanned aerial vehicles. Each of them has certain positive and negative properties. At the same time, the article contains a calculation of the total number of drones to ensure constant monitoring of the environment. The material contains an economic justification for the use of specific aircraft in comparison with aircraft models. The conclusion contains a description of a specific model of the drone, which makes it possible to ensure the greatest efficiency of the complex of reconnaissance measures to detect fires in the region under study.

The author’s focal point is the interconnection and interdependence of geopolitics and business and corporate interests of modern states, primarily great powers in the new post globalized political and economic world order. Growing crisis of globalization has set up new rules of the game of market forces as a result of emerging new centers of state power, both in Europe and in Asia at the expense of «indispensable» America. American decay has become the buzz – word in academic community on both sides of the Atlantic. On «The Self Destruction of American Power» and on how «Washington squandered the Unipolar Moment» for example elaborates Fareed Zakaria, well known columnist and the author of «Post – American World». The question raised and answered in the article is how successfully international business adapts to new conditions of post globalization world and more fragmented marketplace. According to the author corporate interests in a way have become hostage to perilous geopolitical designs and protectionist strategies. The present Trump administration concerned by the rise of China and other competitors wages trade wars against both friends and foes more often than not at the expense of American businesses. The old Marxist dogma and economic determinism that «economics dictates politics» is not valid anymore under the new conditions of strengthening geopolitical rivalry of major world powers and their fighting for supremacy in international politics without due regard for specific business gains or losses. The United States being the only superpower is doing its utmost to stay the course of global hegemony and raises stakes for higher geopolitical risks at the expense of transnational business interests. Its relationships with China and Russia referred to by Washington as «revisionist powers» are at the forefront of the research. The key question to be answered as a result of the offered narrative is whether international cooperation or confrontation today plays a key role from the perspective of corporate “bottom line”.

Московский государственный институт международных отношений (университет) МИД РоссииСтатья посвящена анализу основных факторов формирования и эволюции мирового порядка после окончания холодной войны, распада СССР и выхода США на позиции державы-гегемона, архитектора однополярного мира. Почему период американской гегемонии оказался столь неустойчивым и недолговечным? Что помешало США сплотить под своей эгидой других крупных игроков на геополитическом поле, включая Россию и Китай? Какие поучительные уроки прошлого из истории формирования миропорядка оставили без внимания в Вашингтоне? Эти и другие вопросы поставлены автором и на них дан обстоятельный ответ с привлечением как исторических, так и актуальных источников. Автор видит свою задачу в том, чтобы рассмотреть основные события затронутой темы «на стыке эпох», при переходе от старого к новому состоянию международных отношений, когда начался закат американской гегемонии и обозначались контуры нового миропорядка. В этой связи интересен анализ добровольного перехода Великобритании во время Второй мировой войны на позиции «младшего партнёра» Вашингтона и формирование «особых отношений» в англо-саксонской семье после стольких лет британского имперского господства в мире. Имеет ли это значение применительно к сегодняшнему дню на фоне упадка Соединённых Штатов и сокращения их возможностей доминирования в мире? Другой интересный вопрос, затронутый автором, касается упущенных возможностей США и СССР по кооперированию в рамках послевоенного мироустройства в духе геополитической схемы «великого замысла» президента Рузвельта, учитывающей интересы безопасности СССР. Историческая аналогия здесь очевидна. Если тогда конфликт между бывшими союзниками по коалиции привёл к холодной войне, то в наше время стремление США «поставить на место» Россию дало обратный эффект и возвестило закат однополярного мира. Не оправдались и расчёты США интегрировать в систему американского единовластия на правах «ответственного акционера», а проще говоря, зависимого партнёра, и Китай, использовавшего Вашингтон в интересах своей модернизации и вытесняющего его из сферы своего влияния в Азии. Основной вывод: однополярный мир не состоялся и идёт медленное, но неуклонное формирование не иерархическо-сословной, а более равноправной и сбалансированной миросистемы с элементами полицентричности, где явно просматривается конец эпохи единоначалия или традиционной смены одного гегемона другим.

It is unfortunate to note again today that World War II did not end, it continues in the form of the war of memory. Politicians and scholars who stand as ideological successors of collaborators are trying to rewrite the history of those tragic days, to downplay the role of the Soviet Union in the victory over fascism. They try to revive certain political myths, which have been debunked long ago, that the Soviet Union and the Nazi Germany bear equal responsibility for the outbreak of World War II, that the Red Army did not liberate Eastern Europe but ‘occupied’ it. In order to combat these attempts it is necessary to examine once again a turbulent history of the inter-war period and, particularly, the reasons why all attempts to form a united antifascist front had failed in the 1930s, but eventually led to the formation of the anti-Hitler coalition.The paper focuses on a complex set of political considerations, including cooperation and confrontation, mutual suspicions and a fervent desire to find an ally in the face of growing international tensions, which all together determined the dynamics of relations within a strategic triangle of the Soviet Union — the United States — Great Britain in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The paper shows how all attempts to establish a collective security system during the prewar period had shattered faced with the policy of appeasement, which allowed the Nazi Germany to occupy much of Europe. Only the Soviet Union’s entry into the war changed the course of the conflict and made a decisive contribution to the victory over fascist aggressors. The author emphasizes that at such crucial moment of history I.V. Stalin, F.D. Roosevelt and W. Churchill raised to that challenge, demonstrating realism, common sense and willingness to cooperate. Although within the anti-Hitler coalition there was a number of pending issues, which triggered tensions between the Allies, their leaders managed to move beyond old grievances, ideological differences and short-term political interests, to realize that they have a common strategic goal in the struggle against Nazism. According to the author, this is the foundation for success of the anti-Hitler coalition and, at the same time, the key lesson for contemporary politicians. The very emergence of the anti-Hitler coalition represented a watershed in the history of the 20th century, which has determined a way forward for the whole humanity and laid the foundations for the world order for the next fifty years.

As part of the research part of the article, details of the correlation analysis of the number of agricultural enterprises in relation to the population of Yakutia are presented. In the conclusion, specific arguments for the development of agricultural enterprises are presented, based on the results of the study.
