The article discusses the activities of workers in Western Siberia, aimed at assisting the families of front-line soldiers and evacuated children, the majority of whom died at the beginning of the war. Realizing that help and care for the everyday needs of families of servicemen and orphans are of utmost importance, residents of Siberian cities and villages under the leadership of party, public and Komsomol organizations used various forms of assistance to soldier families and children: organized voluntary Sunday work, ten-day campaigns and funds earned from them sent to the families of front-line soldiers and children left without parents. Also, there was gathering of food, warm clothes, shoes among the population; families of front-line soldiers were provided with fuel and patronage assistance. It was found that this assistance was significant and included the efforts of various strata of the population, from pioneer activists to enterprise workers, and had various forms of manifestation, from the leadership of party, Soviet and Komsomol organizations to the personal initiatives of people in Western Siberia.

The article gives the characteristics of the population, presents the regime, the aspects of labor, causes of morbidity and mortality of “Vlasovtsy” and White Russian emigres who were in the camps of the NKVD-Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR and in a special settlement in Siberia. In 1944-1946 “Vlasovtsy” arrived in Siberia and White Russian emigres were filtered by the screening and filtration camps. Then the officers went to prisoner of war camps, and the rank-and-file went to a special settlement. In 1945, the NKVD dispatched more than 20,000 people from Wehrmacht national military units, German accomplices, cadets of intelligence schools and members of counter-revolutionary organizations that were fighting, including during the Civil War, against Soviet power to Siberia from Judenburg (Austria). All those who collaborated with the enemy could be considered “Vlasovtsy”. About 7,000-8,000 officers of the Soviet Army who were in German captivity, as well as former soldiers of the Russian (tsarist) army, who had lived in the USSR before the war, were referred to the “special settlement Vlasovtsy”. In 1946, in the documents of the Department of Special Settlements of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, the term “special contingent” was replaced with the conditional term “Vlasovtsy”. The physical degradation of the bulk of the contingent took place in the camps and in the special settlement because “Vlasovtsy” were used in particularly dangerous, heavy production: in mines, quarries, and construction. Convicted “Vlasovtsy” and White Russian emigres served time in correctional labor colonies and camps or were kept in prisons until 1955-1956.

The analysis of migration processes in the Kemerovo region is presented. Basic tendencies and main social risks and threats associated with regional migration are highlighted. It was revealed that the region is losing population due to negative migration, while labor migrants do not make up for the leaving population. The overwhelming majority of labor migrants are represented by migrants from Central Asia: Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Such ethnic labor migration forms complex interethnic relations in the Kemerovo region. The receiving party - the local population - for the most part has a negative attitude towards labor migrants from abroad. Moreover, at the regional level there is no effective policy of social and cultural adaptation and integration of labor migrants. In this regard, the main directions of managing migration processes in conjunction with the regional national policy are considered. The need for a systematic and conjugated review of migration and national processes and the quality of state and municipal government in this area is noted.

One of the modem personnel technologies actively implemented in federal state bodies is the personnel rotation. This is due to its functional purpose associated with combating corruption, and through this with improving the efficiency of the public civil service. In this regard, the political leadership of the country is taking measures aimed at improving the mechanism of civil servant rotation. At the same time, the use of rotation in the practice of personnel work is clearly “lagging” without bringing the desired effect. Comparison of the goals of the personnel rotation in the public service and the means necessary for its implementation leads to the understanding of its real significance and further prospects of its use in government bodies. Rotation of territorial bodies executives of federal structures, of course, should be applied, but on the whole, it can hardly be regarded as one of the most important vectors of personnel policy in the civil service system. According to the authors’ opinion, the rotation should be considered as an auxiliary personnel technology, which has anti-corruption nature, and not as a priority for the formation of the personnel of the civil service of the Russian Federation, which is enshrined in the domestic service legislation.

The proposed approach consists of building a “value creating stream” of the patient in the admission and diagnostic department (ADD) in the context of the types of expectations of patients, doctors on duty, nurses, medical registrars, laboratories, and diagnostic services. As a result of timing 113 patients, the following results were obtained: the structure of patients depending on the time spent in ADD has determined; the types and causes of expectations of the patient, doctor, nurses, diagnostic services and laboratories have been identified; a stable structure of the patient’s waiting time has been defined; a new type of expectation has been identified - expectation arising due to the lack of patient continuity between doctors in the case of the involvement of external specialists (in some cases, the expectation reached two hours); the main causes of expectations in patients in ADD at the stage of registration, diagnosis, obtaining a final diagnosis have been identified; features of the causes of expectations have been revealed in patients who stayed in ADD for more than three hours; ADD patient models have been formed depending on routing; measures to reduce the patient’s stay time in ADD have been formulated.
