The article considers the issues of the relationship between business investment activities and the economic and social development of the regions. Based on the statistical data analysis it is shown that the decrease in investment activities negatively affects all key indicators of regional development after a short period of time. The article shows that a peculiarity defining Russian economy is that its significant part is actually controlled by natural monopolies. At the same time, they are strongly sensitive to all the problems of socioeconomic development of the country's territories and, therefore, are parties concerned in ensuring sustainable and qualitative growth of regional economies. Today many of the natural monopolies implement large-scale investment programs with allocated substantial resources. The analysis of these investment programs showed that they all contain components that contribute to the development of the region where the manufacturing facilities or transportation capacities of these companies are located. It is concluded that a systemic state investment policy aimed at stimulating real investments, rather than "portfolio" ones, is required to address the problem of sustainable economic growth.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of combating mobbing. The article substantiates that mobbing is not just an interdisciplinary concept, but also quite thoroughly rooted in common sense. Second, the everyday understanding of mobbing is clearly manifested in the claims of employees against employers, which were analyzed in the article. It was concluded that a request for a legislative ban on mobbing and its delineation was already quite ripe in society. The authors proposed a definition of mobbing, which they propose to include in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Also, the authors analyzed the current capabilities of employees in the fight against vertical mobbing (bossing). In particular, attention was paid to the provision of Art. 195 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which gives the right to the representative body of employees to demand that the head of the organization be brought to disciplinary responsibility up to dismissal. The grounds for dismissal, which can be applied to the manager in the event of a boss, are analyzed. It was concluded that without a legislative ban on mobbing, bringing the head of the organization to justice is quite difficult. Also, by-laws, which mention mobbing, in the field of education, were analyzed. It was concluded that the state and local governments are making certain efforts to combat mobbing, but these efforts are aimed at mobbing in relations between students. As for the fight against mobbing of teachers in relation to students and each other, the authors identified 3 grounds for dismissal, according to which, according to the current legislation and judicial practice, a teacher can be dismissed.
