Abstract
The article discusses the main aspects of the formation and functioning of systems for the supply of oil products to the northern regions. The relevance of the problem of fuel and energy supply of the northern regions is dictated by the special natural and climatic conditions, their historically established territorial production specialization and the need for annual self-sufficiency in petroleum products due to their import from other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Potential interruptions in the supply of petroleum products for remote areas of the northern regions can lead to extremely strong threats to energy security and risks associated with deteriorated living standards of the population. The purpose of this work is to analyze the processes and features of the functioning of the regional structure of oil product supply in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Two groups of organizational factors have been identified that affect the efficiency of uninterrupted and timely delivery of oil products to hard-to-reach territories of the northern regions. The analysis of the current state and the main components of the regional structure of oil product supply in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in conditions of low transport accessibility. The contribution of the transport factor to the process of supplying fuel and energy resources to the territories of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) are considered with the allocation of the ensuing economic effects in the management of regional enterprises of oil products supply. We also indicated directions for solving priority tasks to increase the stability and economic efficiency of the delivery of petroleum products in the region. In order to improve the organizational and economic mechanisms of the functioning of the regional structure of oil product supply in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), it is proposed to develop practical tools that take into account various supply schemes and options for fuel delivery, the use of several types of transport, storage and transshipment points, and the seasonal nature of the transport complex.

Abstract
Agriculture is historically entrenched as a traditional occupation of the population of Yakutia, but despite this, it is also one of the most problematic sectors of the economy due to the climatic, territorial and other characteristics of the republic. Due to the lack of innovations, the current state of agriculture can be described as stagnant. The industry needs innovations, which should lead to a new round of development, one of which can be organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a global trend, which has been practiced in more than 180 countries around the world, and their number is increasing every year. The initial reason for the popularization was the intensification of agriculture in the middle of the last century, which solved many problems associated with ensuring food throughout the world, but on the other hand, it also provoked the emergence of many other problems of a global scale, mainly related to the deterioration of the environment. Over time, the original reason for the popularization related to the environment did not recede into the background and still remains relevant, but also later they began to highlight the social and economic benefits of organic agriculture, which at present, all together, collectively attract more and more attention from states, producers and consumers. The article analyzes the current state of organic agriculture in the world and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which has contributed to the emergence of new trends that in the coming years may make major changes in the development of organic production in the world. These trends include both the territory where the production of organic products is already being practiced, and theoretical promising territories, from the point of view of the prospects for the development of agriculture.

Abstract
E-government is an important component of the modern information society. The international community have not developed generally accepted rules and methods of building this model yet, with each country choosing its own path. In the Russian Federation, the construction of an e-government model began with the formulation of the definition of the concept of “state (municipal) service”, which was first formulated in the Federal Law FZ-210 “On the organization of the provision of state and municipal services” in 2010. Since then, our country has made a significant breakthrough in the digitalization of the activities of executive authorities and local governments. The article analyzes the basic principles of our country’s transition to electronic government, based on the construction of uniform rules for interdepartmental electronic interaction, the identification and authentication system, the activities of the All-Russian portal of state and municipal services, the main focus is on the analysis of the digitalization of municipal services. The current priorities of the digitalization of the sphere of state and municipal administration, the stages of transferring municipal services to an electronic format are considered. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is the largest constituent entity of the Russian Federation, with the city of Yakutsk being its capital. Due to the territorial and climatic features in the region, there is a problem of building an information and communication infrastructure. Nevertheless, the capital of Yakutia has some experience of electronic interaction between the state, business and government. The main part of the study examines the activities of the District Administration of the urban district “City of Yakutsk” towards the digital economy. Conclusions are made about the sufficient level of the transfer of municipal services to the electronic format, systemic transition of the activities of local governments to the transition to the digital municipality model.

Abstract
In a modern individualized society, the ongoing changes in the labor market, the weakening of the “ordering” function of social institutions in the context of digitalization actualize the problem of the demand for the labor potential of both townspeople and villagers. Today, the Internet connection covers the territory of Russia unevenly, with the rural part being especially poorly covered. In addition, the segmental type of settlement in the North of the Russian Federation, large territories, the permafrost zone, etc. have not favored the development of other types of social infrastructure, which are unevenly “superimposed” and the infrastructure of the Internet connection. Another “barrier” can be the material living standards. The article reveals the respondents’ assessment of the level of demand for professional potential based on empirical research data on the topic: “A multifactorial study of the health status of the indigenous and newcomer population in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in order to optimize regional programs to improve the quality of life of residents in the republic, taking into account territorial and ethnic characteristics in the modern social-economic development “Program of complex scientific research in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) aimed at the development of its productive forces and social sphere for 2016-2020”, conducted in 2016-2017. The territory of the republic was conditionally divided into five economic zones, the survey covered people according to a quota sample (n = 1,670). In all the five zones, the largest proportion of those who rated the demand for their professional potential believe that it is realized situationally “usually in full, but not always”. The respondents in the central zone, as expected, have the highest social expectations, which are “excessive” in relation to the niches of opportunities that this territory can provide. At the same time, the share of those who are sure that “no, not in full” (13.6%) is not so high, in contrast to the industrial - western (20.2%) and southern (17.0%) zones.
