Market transition in post-socialist societies is directly linked to the concept of values. Assumptions about pace of regional transition can be made from information about dynamics of values, shared by social subjects living in this area and give an instrument to predict pace of modernization. In the article the results of the survey of values shared among schoolchildren and students, conducted in Krasnoyarsk region of Central Siberia in 2016, are presented. The authors outline correlation of educational level, age and values, underline primal social meaning of the term «value» within the social groups under investigation, and define core values of these groups. Gender associations, social identification, and their economic impact are shown. A significant result of the analysis is that the value «family» is the most important for both groups of the respondents. Among students personal values and priorities significantly dominate social and community ones which is an important issue in policy-making for Central Siberia.

Nenets and Dolgan reindeer herding is an economically inefficient subsidized branch of agriculture, but its

The article describes and analyses the international and Russian practices of preserving and reproducing the endangered ethnic languages. Special attention is paid to the preservation practices of the languages of the small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North inhabiting the Krasnoyarsk Krai.

The research results demonstrate that due to the gradual destruction of the language transfer tradition, the "artificial" preservation practices are the most relevant for the ethnic languages. They include the creation of modern coursebooks for the languages of the small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North, based on the latest methods of ethnic language learning and teaching; publishing children's literature in the ethnic languages; linguistic documentation of languages; application of the modern information technology, including the creation of the Internet portals dedicated to the language and culture of the small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North.
