Purpose is to study the mechanisms leading to genetic divergence (stable genetic differences between two adjacent populations). We considered the following classical model situation. Populations are panmictic with Mendelian rules of inheritance. The action of natural selection (differences in fitness) on each of population is the same and is determined by the genotypes of only one diallel locus. We assume that adjacent generations do not overlap and genetic transformations can be described by a discrete time model. This model describes the change in the concentration of one of the alleles in each population and the ratio (weight) of first population to the total size. Methods. We used the analogue of saddle charts to construct parametric portraits showing the domains of qualitatively different dynamic modes. The study is supplemented with phase portraits, basins of attraction and bifurcation diagrams. Results. We found that the model dynamic regimes qualitatively coincide with the regimes of a similar model with continuous time, but only for a weak migration. With a strong coupling, fluctuations of the phase variables are possible. We showed that the genetic divergence is possible only with reduced fitness of heterozygotes and is the result of a series of bifurcations: pitchfork bifurcation, period doubling, or saddle-node bifurcation. After these qualitative changes, the dynamics become bi- or quadstable. In the first case, the solutions corresponding to the genetic divergence are unstable and are just a part of the transient process to monomorphic state. In the second case, the divergence is stable and appears as 2-cycle for a strong migration coupling. Conclusion. In neighboring populations, movement towards an asymptotic genetic structure (monomorphism, polymorphism or divergence) can be strictly monotonous or in the form of damped unstable or undamped stable fluctuations with a period of 2 for biologically significant parameters. For insignificant parameters, we found a complex dynamics (chaos) that consist of divergent fluctuations around fixed points and quasi-random transitions between them.

Pseudoderivations of Paracraticularia cylindrica (Michelin, 1840) (Porifera, Hexactinellida)
Authors:   Saratov State University, Pervushov Evgeny M.
Published: March 2022

The morphological diversity of diosculumic sponges, known as Paracraticularia cylindrical, results from the fact that many fossils assigned to this species prove to be fragments of the apical segments of internodes (branches) from major colonies that are rarely encountered as totally preserved fossils. The structures of the branch apical segments and the oscula outlines reflect various manifestations of hexactinellida synchronous division conductive to morphological diversity of the descendants, the succeeding complicatedly structured colonial sponges. Some morphs (parataxa) are considered to belong to the species which are mostly fragments of the apical segments from the braches of the Paracraticularia primary colonies.

Cyvilyzation and Metaphysics
Authors:   Saratov State University, Markelov N. M.
Published: March 2022

Article is devoted to attempt to clear up the cult bases of the West civilization and identify the causes of the formation of the latest features in the Judeo-Christian metaphysics. The analysis begins with justification of thought of Pavel Florenskiy’s postulate that, not only a culture genetically comes from a cult, but also any philosophical categories come from a cult too. Accordingly, a direct cult source of the Western civilization is that version of early Christianity which later having concluded the alliance with Rome, called itself «Universal Catholic Church» and declared all other early Christian schools as heresies. Next is a brief analysis of the metaphysical roots of that tradition, to find in it those archetypes which then manifests themself in all of Western culture, including the secular and even atheistic. The main conclusion is total desacralization of reality that had done with the Western civilization in cause of the combination of originality metaphysics of the Gospel and the Jewish metaphysics. Here is should look for the causes of all the features of Western culture.
Λόγος and ἀλήθεια Reconciliation in the Jesus Christ Personality
Authors:   Saratov State University, Feller M. V.
Published: March 2022

Western thought contains the system of the fundamental ideas that getting through its entire history determined also the large historical epochs’ individuality. Among them are the ideas of ἀλήθεια and Λόγος. The Christian understanding entirety of Logos-Word depends on the adequate understanding of the Greek school of thought that it follows. The «word» and the «truth» were the closely connected ideas in the Greek philosophy, but with the process of the Greek thought rationalization, the essential estrangement became more significant. As a result the «truth» turned to be «consistent» while human thought become methodological and generative. It is the Christianity that overcame this estrangement by showing their identical congeniality in Jesus Christ personality: «I am the way, and the truth, and the life».

Withdrawal from an initial identification of physical space and social space is considered, drafts of the spatial analysis of the society, developed by P. Bourdieu and B. Verlen are analyzed. P. Bourdieu considers social space as set of the positions taken by certain individuals, and correlation of these positions is defined not only the objective public relations, but also mental designs of individuals. B. Verlen, being guided by M. Weber, chooses as an initial element of social space not the individual, and single social action. Analyzed concepts became an important step on a way to possibility of display in spatial coordinates of difficult and multilevel structure of modern society.

The article is devoted to consideration of the psychological qualities of innovative potential of personality. Is approved, the prerequisites and the makings of innovative potential is given by nature and are expressed in certain psychological characteristics of the individual. Implemented innovative potential of a person is determined by the level of «natural» psychic phenomena. Actually, it is dynamic, changing as formed socially determined the structure of personality in the context of the people’s understanding of themselves and the world, about yourself in this world. In the structure of innovation potential of a person, you must include both the idea of acting as a factor of motivation and regulation manifestations of man in the subjective and the objective world and the psychological mechanisms of generation of ideas of the controllers. We should distinguish between the levels of generalization of the fundamental ideas, which, undoubtedly, depends on intelligence and abilities.

Female education of the upper and middle classes in the 17th century England
Authors:   Saratov State University, Ushakova Evgeniya V.
Published: March 2022

In England the traditions of female education were formed over the centuries, and have survived to the present day. First of all, many educational institutions in England adhere to the idea of separate education of boys and girls, which serves a better education, according to school leaders. The most powerful argument in favor of separate education of boys and girls remains the same as it was one or two hundred years ago – boys and girls are more focused on learning being apart from each other. In addition, boys need a competitive environment more than girls who prefer cooperation and teamwork. In the XVII century female education becomes more widespread than in previous centuries. This century is characterized by an increase in the number of women’s educational institutions, changes in the goals and contents of female education, changes in the attitude to the female education and the role of women in the family and society, which were largely influenced by historical events – the English Revolution of the 1640s, the Republic under Cromwell, the Restoration, religious persecution, the ideas of the Enlightenment. The article presents the results of theoretical studies of the features of middle and upper class women education, types of women educational institutions existed in the XVII century, subjects studied there, and specifics of home education.
Posthumanism and the problem of immortality: Socio-philosophical analysis
Authors:   Saratov State Agrarian University named after N. I. Vavilov, Kraynov Andrey L.
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of immortality in the context of the philosophy of posthumanism. The problem of immortality has always worried humanity. In fairy tales and myths, religious systems and scientific research, it occupies a central place, which relates to the natural desire of a person to live forever. In the philosophy of posthumanism, this problem acquires new meanings, moving from a purely speculative metaphysical field to the sphere of practice. The development of NBICS technologies contributes to this metamorphosis. Processes such as digitalization, the creation of artificial intelligence, the development of genetic engineering, cloning, the design of cyborgs and android robots, and cryonization force us to take a fresh look at the problem of immortality. If in the religious consciousness the immortality of a person is interpreted as spiritual immortality – eternal life after the physical death of the body, then in the worldview of posthumanism and immortalism we are talking about bodily immortality, which modern technologies are capable to bring to life. Thus, a value reorientation takes place in the consciousness of a person, shifting the emphasis from the future afterlife to the current present life. As a result, not only the perception of life is changing, but also the whole model of social behavior. Such traditional values as family and children, gender identity and procreation are fading into the background, leaving a place for the values of posthumanism, which consider a person as an intermediate stage on the path to perfection, that is, to a posthuman.
Theological education as a basic factor of socialization and the formation of value orientations in a dynamically changing society
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kutyreva Irina V.
Published: March 2022

In a dynamically changing society, the problem of the formation of value attitudes and the preservation of traditions is one of the main and paramount issues for the construction of social relations. State policy aimed at constructive interaction of various institutions responsible for socialization is a guarantee of the stability of social relations themselves. Considering education as the main institution of socialization, it is necessary to determine the difficulties and opportunities in the formation of value orientations of the younger generation and modern youth. The article reflects the position that theological education is the basis on which creation is possible. It is spiritual values that are of key importance for the formation of the consciousness of society, for strengthening the foundations of statehood, patriotism and personal qualities of each person. The need to return to spiritual values results from the current state of society, the dynamics of its development, which often leads to the departure from traditions, the rethinking of cultural awareness and identity. Spirituality is a solid foundation on which Russian identity and traditions are created and preserved. Therefore, theological education should be considered not just as possible, but as a necessary way to preserve the traditions and moral foundations of modern society.
Secular and religious aspects of modern culture: A socio-philosophical and theological analysis
Authors:   Saratov State University, Orlov Mikhail O. , Cherevichko Tatyana V. ,   Saratov State University
Published: March 2022

In the presented study, the relationship between the Church and the culture of the peoples being nourished is examined from the standpoint of theological and socio-philosophical analysis. It is revealed that the centuries-old mutual influence of church and national-cultural traditions has led to the fact that the understanding of the national culture by its bearer is impossible without referring to the Christian faith as the basis of this culture. The perception of aesthetic patterns, communicative values and ethical principles occurs through the understanding of religious culture. It is substantiated that culture cannot abandon its religious content without losing its elevating and enlightening impact on the individual. The restoration of a full-fledged transmission of Christian (Orthodox) spiritual experience is a fundamental condition for overcoming the crisis of spiritual tradition in Russia. At the same time, “transmission” implies not only the transmission of the experience of Christian life from generation to generation, but also the familiarization of our contemporaries, hitherto alien to Orthodoxy, to it. The hypothesis of the dialectical unity of the religious and secular nature of culture is analyzed. It is substantiated that a necessary condition for restoring the mechanisms for transferring the spiritual experience of Christian life is the formation of a system of cultural and educational activities of the Russian Orthodox Church, in which the transfer of traditional spiritual experience is inextricably linked with the transfer of the spiritual experience of Russian culture.
The ambivalence of the Eternity and the Coming in Christian mysticism as a cryptomystical subtext of philosophical thought
Authors:   Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov, Duplinskya Yuliya M. , Friauf Vasiliy A. ,   Saratov State University
Published: March 2022

It is proved that the superrationality of Christian mystical experience qualitatively differs from the superrationality of other mystical traditions. In addition to the superrationality of Eternity as an invariant of all sacred traditions, Christian experience is superrational in the aspect of the Coming state of adoration, which is a task, not a given. This aspect is unique as an attribute of Christian mystical experience only. In the aspect of Eternity, mystical unity with the God is understood in metaphors of rotation, fusion and dissolution. In the aspect of the Coming, unity with the God is understood in the metaphors of “doing”: co-work and synergy with the God. If rational thinking, like culture as a whole, is cryptomythologic and cryptomystical, then the cryptomysticism of thought that grows on the basis of the Christian archetype has its specifics. The result of the irremovable two-vectorness of the Eternity and Сoming of Christian archetype is the fluctuations of rational culture, which were not generated by any other sacred tradition. The apophatic mystery of the Eternity and the Сoming breaks down into two opposite poles in philosophical thought. One pole is associated with the phenomenological tradition of transcendental rotation, the other – with the utopian tradition.

Authors:   Povolzhsky Institute of Management named after P. A. Stolypin, the branch of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Ustyantsev Nikita G.
Published: March 2022

This article is devoted to the consideration of such a sphere of modern reality as the representation of a person in the digital environment through the statement. The study analyzes the process, mechanisms and ways of representation through storytelling. The historical aspect appears as an integral part of the exposure of the individual's attitude to the inner and surrounding reality, which is transmitted not only in the form of a reflexive monologue, but also in the form of an installation, an opinion, and a look. The author notes the multi-level use of storytelling in the context of social space and in building digital identity. The work defines the philosophical and methodological foundations of the study, describes in detail the provisions of fragmentation and plurality of digital identity. The content of the article indicates the forms of development of storytelling as a communication technology, substantiates the main forms of influence on the formation of identity and its broadcasting in the digital surroundings. The article shows how transmedia and cross-platform play the role of connective tissue for overcoming the fragmentation of transmitted meanings. Thus, the consistency in the formation of a single image is maintained. It also takes into account the problem of technological alienation and the ways to overcome it, one of which is storytelling. The involvement of this communication technology and self-presentation appears to be an essential element for the socio-cultural analysis of digital reality and the development of a new problem field associated with the significance of the digital history of the individual.

Authors:   Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University, Romasheva Zhanagul Zh.
Published: March 2022

In science, there have been no attempts to study institutional trust as an intermediary between the emigration attitude and meta-values, which actualizes this problem. The purpose of the study: to determine the role of institutional trust in the connection of metavalues with the emigration attitude. Research hypothesis: institutional trust mediates the connection of meta-values (a) Conservation, (b) Openness to change, (c) Self-enhancement (d) Self-transcendence with the emigration attitude. The study was carried out on a sample (N = 646) aged 17 to 35 years, including 78% (504) women, using: PVQ-21 – ESS7 version of the questionnaire measuring individual values of Sh . Schwartz, Methods “Scale of migration attitudes” by S. A. Kuznetsova, I. Y. Kuznetsov, A. V. Feshchenko, modified into “Scale of emigration attitudes”; questionnaire “Level of institutional trust” and mediation analysis, through the use of the macro PROCESS to the IBM SPSS 26.0 program. It is established that institutional trust mediates the connection of the emigration attitude with the meta-values of Conservation, Openness to change and Self-enhancement, at the same time it is not a mediator in connection with the emigration attitude with the metavalue of Self-transcendence. The results of the study demonstrate the role of institutional trust in the emergence of an emigration attitude among young people, which allows them to be used to predict the emigration activity of young people, in psychological work with potential emigrants, as well as in the development of state youth policy programs.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Ryaguzova Elena V. , Chinchevich Elena V. ,   MGMIMO University (Odintsovo)
Published: March 2022

The article presents the results of empirical research aimed at a comparative analysis of financial behavior strategies and economic aspirations of Russian students (N = 80, age 19–20 years) studying at metropolitan and regional universities (Saratov and Moscow). As methods of research were used survey and testing (questionnaire of subjective economic well-being V. A. Khashchenko; test of dispositional optimism in modification of T. O. Gordeeva, O. A. Sychev, E. N. Osin; questionnaire of self-organization of activity in E. Yu. Mandrikova adaptation; Schwarz portrait questionnaire). In two groups of students both similarities (determinants of financial behavior, economically cautious strategy of budget management, avoidance of financial risk, small savings practices, financial infantilism, lack of financial awareness, attractiveness of some forms of investment, optimism expression, similarity of profiles of value orientations) and differences (personal budget structuring, economic aspirations and dream, readiness to take financial risk) were found. It is asserted that the identified similarities are determined by the respondents’ affiliation with a certain social group, while the differences are caused by the subcultural features of the territory of study and residence. Based on the assessment of subjective economic well-being and life prospects, configuration of value orientations, specifics of strategic goal-setting, the typology of financial behavior of students studying at different universities is proposed. The applied aspect of the problem under study consists in the possibility of using the results in the development of programs of socio-psychological adaptation of students to the conditions of learning and living; educational programs aimed at eliminating economic illiteracy of students; programs of psychological support and student counseling.
Genesis of the problem formation of digital intercultural competence in the period from the 1970s until the early 2000s
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Savelyeva Nelly Kh.
Published: March 2022

The analysis of works on the problems of vocational education pedagogy made it possible to highlight the crisis points in its development, associated, first of all, with the inconsistency of the educational results content with the requirements of employers and the priorities of state policy in the field of digitalization and innovation. The system of forming employees' key competencies has become one of the priority conditions for the creation and effective functioning of the Russian state innovative economy. The active and widespread introduction of modern science-intensive technologies leads to an increase in the requirements of the state and society for the qualifications of university graduates, the level of their intercultural competence, and readiness to master new approaches to professional activity. These factors explain the close attention of scientists and specialists from different branches of knowledge and areas of pedagogy, psychology, public administration, sociology, informatics, etc., to the problems of intercultural training of future specialists in the context of globalization. The article proposes the periodization of the development of the problem of forming digital intercultural competence, the identification of characteristic trends at the second stage of the problem development, the identification of socio-cultural, historical, scientific and theoretical prerequisites for its formation and development. At the same time, the etymological complexity and diversity of the research problem led to the identification of historical trends in several directions: emergence of information society; formation of the competence nature of the higher education system; development of the problem of forming intercultural competence.

Philanthropy and Gender in the Arab World
Authors: Eckert Max , Dingus David , Ridge Natasha
Published: March 2022

Despite significant interest in gender and philanthropic activities separately in the Arab world among scholars and policymakers, little research has focused on the interaction of these two spheres. Responding to a gap in the literature, this policy paper examines 23 foundations working on gender in the Arab region, based on the information available on their websites, other online sources, and interviews conducted with a selection of senior foundation leadership. Our findings highlight that while gender is perceived to be a cross-cutting theme across regional philanthropic work, there are still substantive gaps in gender-specific initiatives, such as research, programs specific to boys and men, and a lack of programs to support and advocate for change in legal structures that currently disadvantage women across the region. To address these gaps, we suggest that foundations conduct further research at the sectoral and organizational levels on gender, equally target both genders in programming, and create a philanthropic culture with the necessary infrastructure to share work related to gender. Finally, foundations should consider engaging in advocacy supporting policies that would address current legal frameworks that act as barriers to women’s full participation and emancipation in the region
Conserving Ras Al Khaimah’s Botanical Diversity
Authors: Tsaliki Marina
Published: March 2022

Ras Al Khaimah is home to a diverse ecosystem of plant species, many of which have medicinal uses and cultural significance in addition to supporting wildlife. As the human population and associated urban development increases in the Emirate, it is essential to ensure the national heritage related to plant diversity is protected. In this policy paper, we present the results of an emirate-wide botanical survey that explores how the plant species, present across Ras Al Khaimah, vary according to the Emirate’s geography. In total, 320 plant species were documented in the survey, 293 of which were identified. Some of the recorded species are either uniquely found in the Emirate or are rare and endangered. Four main vegetation types have been identified in the Emirate: coastal and lowland vegetation, plains vegetation, low mountain vegetation, and high mountain vegetation. Within each of these, there are several distinct subtypes that contain unique species and species common to the primary vegetation type.
Policy and Management Considerations for Artificial Reefs in the Arabian Gulf
Authors: Burt John , Bartholomew Aaron , Firth Louise
Published: March 2022

A diverse and productive mosaic of highly important ecosystems border the coastline of the Arabian Gulf, providing invaluable goods and services to coastal populations and representing the most biodiverse habitats in a region better known for its arid deserts. Recently, however, these ecosystems have come under escalating pressure from urbanization, fisheries activity, and global climate change. Artificial reefs have been in use for centuries in the Gulf region, where they were inherited through family lines and regulated under the senat al-bahar (the ‘code of the sea’). Today, regional marine managers and policymakers are increasingly promoting artificial reefs as a tool to mitigate the ongoing impacts on Gulf ecosystems and fisheries. Artificial reefs may support some goals of marine managers and policymakers, but they are not a panacea and involve many risks. Without appropriate design, regulation, and management, artificial reefs can exacerbate existing problems or inadvertently create new issues that add to management burdens in coastal areas.
Marginalization in Education in Ras Al Khaimah
Authors: Erfurth Marvin , Ridge Natasha , Dingus David
Published: March 2022

This policy paper discusses marginalization in education within the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Using a combination of publicly available data, PISA results, and data from schools and the Ministry of Education (MOE), we have identified some of the key marginalization factors within our local context. In essence, these marginalization factors are driven by issues related to geography, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES).
We find that the current education sector is geared toward female students and families who can afford medium to high-fee private education in urban centers while neglecting male students and those living in rural areas from lower SES backgrounds. Additionally, we find a general lack of available data on marginalized and at-risk groups across the UAE, which creates issues for evidence-based policymaking.
Our recommendations include reducing public-school fees for low-income expatriates; incentivizing a greater variety of private schools to open in rural areas at various price points; developing additional and targeted educational programming for the most at-risk groups; and the sharing of comprehensive data on at-risk student performance, with a particular focus on boys and students from low-income families.
Journalism in conflictogenic environment: general principles and prospects
Authors: Vystavkina Daria
Published: March 2022

Recently, the world faced with a fragileness of social balance and destructive functions of the media while the escalation of the conflicts. The information boom and hegemony of social networks have demonstrated the risks of hybrid wars, the power of "flexible power" of images and active communities. Journalism acts as an information catalyst for conflicts, exposing existing social contradictions at the micro, meso and macro levels of the social structure. That is why the responsibility of the media extends far beyond the objective coverage of information and contains a certain choice, which has also an ethical dimension. The article focuses on the ethical issues of the role of journalism in conflict, the ability of journalists to reduce the risk of violence in a conflict-ridden environment, and to increase efficiency in finding alternative solutions to conflict resolution. It raises the question of the constructive and destructive consequences of the conflict, as well as discusses the issues of the stage of the conflict, at which journalistic interventions are possible. The main thesis of the article relates to the principles of conflict-sensitive journalism, how idealistic they are and what organizations are interested in developing and promotion of the peace-building journalism.The analysis of various sources raises the question of the responsibility of journalists for choosing a particular model of journalistic practice during a conflict: from the objective and neutral position of the observer to active intervention as advocacy for peace and peace-building. The final conclusion is whichever path is chosen, finally we are facing the consequences of journalistic activity, the questions of moral choice and responsibility for a certain worldview. Ultimately, we need to disclose the category "truth" and find out its meaning in the epoch of metamodernism and post-truth.
Big Data&Open Data in journalism: role, meaning, trends
Authors: Poljuga Wasil
Published: March 2022

New digital data formats — Big & Open Data — are transforming the modern model of professional social communication and changing the parameters of communication. The emergence of new formats of digital information, including big data, provides new ways to search, process, analyze, present and visualize it in journalism. These changes should be reflected in the texts of journalistic materials. However, there is reason to believe that the impact of large and open data on the structure of journalistic materials in the leading domestic media remains minimal.
Data journalism is still in its infancy, being studied based on observation and interviewing techniques. Comprehensive studies of data sources of data journalism publications are still lacking. In leading publications, the number of materials based on open data and published on a regular basis as separate projects or in specialized sections is growing. However, despite its prevalence, this phenomenon is still controversial both among practicing journalists and academics. The practices of data journalism, which are not sufficiently systematized, are not comprehensively reflected in the scientific literature. Existing research in this area is at the intersection of different scientific fields and concepts and is interdisciplinary. However, many media outlets are already starting to work with numbers and databases, literally finding stories in them for publication. It can be stated that today a community of people is emerging who call themselves data journalists, which is significantly different from the community of experts in the field of computer journalism. This new community has more innovative ways of providing data, storytelling, and final reporting, combining the deeply analytical and critical approaches of the computer and visual journalism community.
Metaphorical modeling of the concept of EUROPE in Ukrainian media discourse
Authors: Yarotskaya Galina , Ponomarenko Tatiana
Published: March 2022

The aim of the study was to analyze metaphorical models which objectify the concept of Europe in modern Ukrainian media. The relevance of this study is confirmed by the fact that in the last decade of the 20th century, the idea of “Europe” has taken on characteristics of a media-concept and a mental prototype of the future, which has taken a leading role in Ukrainian media discourse.
The source of materials for this study became publications of “Ukrainian Youth”, “The Voice of Ukraine”, “Day”, “Mirror of the Week”, “Veche”, and others, which are presented in electronic corpuses of Ukrainian texts GRAK and MovaInfo (years 2012–2020). The total amount of analyzed lexical units is 101 (50 lexemes from the corpus MovaInfo and 51 lexemes from the corpus GRAK). The concept of Europe is a culturally-generalized, value-heavy entity, a deep, abstract category, which for a long time built its own multidimensional spheres of concepts. At the same time, the concept of Europe is a national, specific fragment of the nation’s worldview. Analysis of metaphorical models, which found their place in Ukrainian mass media, showed that systematic, multidimensional dismantling of the concept of Europe is happening gradually, which is leading to the loss of a stable, geographical definition of the referential space of the lexeme. As a result, this leads to correlating changes in its semantic structure. For the designation of the named concept, the following conceptual metaphors are predominantly used: fort, babushka, mentor, dream, spirit, supermarket, road, and others, predominantly with positive connotation. The inspected material displays that the past decade of the 20th century significantly gave relevance to the concept of Europe, declaring it as an important, modern ideologeme, like a mental prototype of Ukraine’s future. Comprehension of the concept of Europe as a myth is gradually turning into its realization as a major goal.

Among the latest additions to the Constitution of Russia was the inclusion of the State Council of the Russian Federation in it. Its final status was enshrined in a special federal law. However, this organ has more than two hundred years of history. The article aims to analyze the status and purpose of the State Council, starting from the period of its inception in monarchist Russia at the beginning of the 19th century and up to the present. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author, on the basis of a comparative analysis of both historical and modern normative material, made a conclusion about the new role of the State Council in the mechanism of the Russian state at the beginning of the third decade of the twenty-first century. It is substantiated that one of the main vectors of the State Council is the coordination of the activities of all bodies of the unified system of public authority. The use of a variety of methodological tools (methods of dialectical knowledge, historical, comparative legal, formal legal, etc.) made it possible to identify the features of the State Council as a body that strengthens the power of the President and assists in the implementation of the constitutional powers assigned to it.

The article analyzes the prospects for changes in legislation that will favor the formation of a model of digital political parties in Russia, while noting that in our country this model will have differences from foreign ones.

The article highlights the reforms initiated by the Soviet leadership, headed by the first Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, N.S. Khrushchev, in the field of military education (1953–1964). According to a number of scientists, the transformations initiated in the army were unacceptable. Having made a bet on the development of weapons of mass destruction, the Soviet government believed that the nuclear power could do without a multi-million Armed Forces. Military training institutions and their staff were reduced along with the entire army, the prestige of the officer service was greatly shaken. As a result, almost all officers (including military pensioners) and their families unanimously welcomed the resignation of N.S. Khrushchev in October 1964.

The subject of the article is the professional training of military lawyers in Russia. The authors examine and compare in detail the process of the formation of military legal education in the Russian Far East during the Civil War and the existence of the Far Eastern Republic. The choice of the chronological framework is due to the transformation of special legal education in the military justice authorities and is limited to the entry of the territory of the Russian Far East into the RSFSR, with the restructuring of all state bodies, including the structure of military justice. The object of the research is the training of specialists for military justice bodies in the period from 1917 to 1922. The study uses a regional approach, as well as the concept of historical experience through the prism of which conclusions are drawn about the historical features of legal education in the Far Eastern region. Attention is drawn to the fact that during the period of social transformations in the region, it was possible to preserve, albeit in a modified form, the system of special legal training for employees of military justice bodies. A comprehensive study of the process of training military lawyers allows us to highlight not only the positive aspects, but also to assess the scale of the negative consequences. The authors introduced into the scientific circulation the materials of regional archives, revealing the process of forming a system of transferring legal knowledge to military investigators, prosecutors and judges.
