Specific features of motivating environmentally responsible behavior of small and medium businesses in Russia
Abstract
Small and medium enterprises’ motivation to environmentally responsible behavior is different from the one of large businesses. The research that comprised surveying 151 and interviewing 20 representatives of Russian SMEs, indicated low motivation to environmentally responsible behavior in this cluster. The majority of decision-makers in Russian small and medium firms are pessimistic about the role of regulatory environment in motivating them to conduct business responsibly. Meanwhile, research results indicate an apparent lack of awareness-raising among representatives of Russian SMEs regarding governmental measures for promoting and supporting their environmentally responsible behavior. The availability of internal resources for developing and implementing initiatives in the field of environmental protection was quite positively evaluated by respondents.
The research may be of interest to state authorities and business associations developing incentives to environmentally responsible behavior aimed at Russian SMEs; as well as that, it may contribute to drafting educational and awareness-raising projects and programs, and shaping demand from the society and a broad range of SMEs’ stakeholders to their environmentally responsible behavior.

Building up an artificial intelligence industry in Russia: problems and prospects
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important areas of scientific and technological progress in many countries, including Russia. This technology is included in national innovation development programs, since its mass implementation can double economic growth. The transition to the sixth technological order has begun, in which AI-based technologies will play an important role. Government programs for the development of AI are becoming an important element of the growth of national economies and national security.
AI technologies can significantly increase the economic efficiency of those industries where they will be introduced, primarily in the real sector, in medicine, transport, and weapons. The introduction of AI technologies in these industries can have a multiplier effect in related sectors of the economy, e.g. in education. The creation of high-tech jobs is an important intermediate result of the entire complex of measures for the development of AI technology.
The article focuses on the study of state incentives for the development of the artificial intelligence industry in Russia. The state supports the industry mainly through national programs, legal regulation, and budget injections. The author maintains that the AI development and implementation system can be improved by following certain principles. The availability of state support can stimulate the emergence of new players in the artificial intelligence market, which, in turn, could lead to accelerated development of the sector.

An alternative settlement system for the BRICS countries
Abstract
The relevance of the research topic lies in the imperatives of the modern geo-economic and geopolitical confrontation between the leading centers of the world financial system and the need to continue to carry out transactions through alternative channels within the existing international system of payments and exchange. Due to the lack of prospects for lifting sanctions against Russia, the author formulates proposals that allow participation in international exchange based on the currencies of friendly countries and a common currency for their entire group. From the point of view of practical implementation, the results of the article allow Russia, through the mechanism of commercial and contract (exchange) rates for currency pairs of monetary units of the BRICS countries, to carry out trade transactions with friendly countries. The author concludes that integration into the current system of world finance through alternative channels allows small countries to join the BRICS group using concession methods through the mechanism of commercial rates.

Connection of BRICS and EAEU integration projects in the context of Russian economic development
Abstract
The ongoing transformation of the Russian economy under external sanctions pressure determines the development of integration projects in the post-Soviet space, which differ in the form and depth of economic cooperation. The expansion of BRICS, as well as the strengthening of mutual trade with Asia and the search for new trading partners, is of great relevance in the context of studying trade and economic connectivity between the BRICS members, Russia and the EAEU countries.
The article is devoted to the analysis of promising areas of cooperation between the BRICS countries and the EAEU. The purpose is to identify the most promising trading partners among the BRICS countries in the context of the expansion of the organization and the accession of five new members.
The study highlights optimal models of cooperation between the EAEU and BRICS countries in the context of reorientation of trade flows. The conclusion of the article is the need to strengthen horizontal interaction between companies of the EAEU and BRICS jurisdictions in the context of increasing the volume of parallel imports of high-tech products and developing infrastructure projects that affect the interests of Russia and partner countries.
