| Summary/Abstract |
The recent incident involving a United States ship (USS) Impeccable in the South China Sea has led to considerable debate over the jurisdiction of a coastal state to regulate marine scientific research (MSR) in its exclusive economic zone. This article examines the legal framework for MSR as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and interprets its provisions as applicable in the Impeccable 'incident' on the basis of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This incident may set a wrong precedent for interpreting other international treaties on similar lines, the implications of which will be detrimental to international cooperation, as it can escalate tensions among the concerned countries. Hence, the matter may be taken up as an agenda item in the next Meeting of State Parties of UNCLOS (generally held in May-June every year) to clarify aspects related to maritime research and build a consensus on the issue.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines historical aspects of the development and implementation of the state strategy for the accelerated development of the electric power industry in the Far East in 1964-1991. Problems concerning power supply in this part of the country are analyzed, programs for the development of the regional electric power industry are considered, difficulties of their implementation are revealed, and structural changes in the industry and results of electrification of the Far East are characterized. The strategy of regional electric power industry development envisaged sharply increasing the production of electricity through the development of new energy resources and large-scale construction, which would thereby solve the electricty shortage, and ensure rapid development of the industry. The strategy in the Far East began to be implemented when the Soviet economy was experiencing a crisis and developing in a conservative and inorganic way.
