Strategic directions of regulation of regional labor markets in re-connected territories: cognitive approach
type: item
description: Introduction. Modern economic science is characterized by a diversity of theoretical approaches and methodological tools for studying regional labor markets, which creates methodological heterogeneity and complicates the development of unified models for analysis, forecasting, and decision-making in their management. In the absence of reliable statistical information on the labor market of reunited territories, this issue becomes especially relevant, necessitating the development of new regulatory approaches that ensure both their stability and competitiveness. The purpose of this study is the development of strategic directions for the regulation of regional labor markets in reunited territories based on a cognitive approach, which allows for consideration of qualitative factors and causal relationships under conditions of incomplete statistical data. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was the cognitive approach, implemented through simulation modeling methods. For structuring knowledge and analyzing causal relationships, cognitive maps of various levels of detail (weighted directed graphs) were constructed. Scenario modeling was conducted using the GMCS and "Ados-Pro" software systems. Additionally, content analysis of expert surveys and analysis of statistical data were applied. Results. The article argues that effective regulation of the regional labor markets of reunited territories requires the integrated application of cognitive modeling and traditional analytical methods. The developed methodological toolkit enables the consideration of qualitative factors and the construction of forecasts under conditions of uncertainty. The proposed strategic directions represent a practical mechanism for transitioning from crisis management to strategic development based on the simultaneous enhancement of the stability and competitiveness of regional labor markets. Conclusions. The article proves that effective regulation of regional labor mar…

Traditional values in Russian management practice
type: item
description: Introduction. Modern organizations are facing a crisis of staff motivation and loyalty, which manifests itself in an increase in staff turnover, emotional burnout, and a decrease in the effectiveness of traditional management tools based on material incentives. There is a gap between the employees' need for meaningful work and the applied management approaches. Purpose. The study is aimed at theoretical substantiation and development of practical mechanisms for implementing management by values and meanings in modern Russian companies, as well as studying the relationship between corporate values and traditional values of Russian civilization. Methods. The paper uses a historical analysis of examples of the application of value-semantic management models, including the Roman and Mongol empires, the Moscow principality, Soviet closed administrative-territorial entities, and enterprises of pre-revolutionary philanthropists. An analysis of modern Russian practices is carried out using the example of Sberbank, Yandex, and VkusVill, as well as a theoretical analysis of interdisciplinary research in the field of psychology, philosophy, and management. Results. Theoretical approaches to the integration of the value-based approach into management to achieve strategic goals are systematized. The need to take into account traditional Russian values, such as collective activity, creative work, mutual assistance, historical memory when forming a corporate culture is substantiated. Practical tools for implementing management by values and meanings are proposed, including work with HR policy, internal communications, leadership and monitoring systems. Specific examples prove that this approach increases employee loyalty, reduces staff turnover and strengthens the company's competitive position. Conclusions. Management by values and meanings is a key factor in the competitiveness and sustainable development of organizations in conditions of uncertainty. Its effective implementatio…

Strategic priorities of regional development and technological sovereignty: points of convergence
type: item
description: Introduction. In contemporary conditions, researchers are increasingly focusing on, on the one hand, the global technological agenda and methods for defining corresponding national priorities, and on the other hand, approaches and mechanisms for forming strategic regional development priorities. However, research on these two fronts is predominantly conducted in isolation, which limits the practical implementation of the resulting solutions. Furthermore, recent global shocks have demonstrated the high vulnerability of overly centralized production systems; achieving technological sovereignty requires a balanced and sustainable aggregate of regional economic systems. The purpose of this study is to examine the points of convergence between global technological trends, the correct consideration of which is required for achieving technological sovereignty, and regional strategic development priorities within the Russian economy. Materials and methods. The research was conducted using methods of scientometric analysis and content analysis. The Lens.org platform served as the primary source for forming the corpus of articles. Scientometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20). Content analysis of the most relevant articles was carried out to identify the intersection points of the considered thematic blocks, taking into account the concepts that formed the core clusters in the constructed network maps. Results. Based on the construction of term network maps that account for the time factor, the study reveals disconnects in research on strategic regional economic development priorities and technological sovereignty. Research on technological trends shows a shift in focus from technological development to technological progress. Regarding regional development, a wide diversity of concepts was identified (innovation, strategic planning, cooperation, integration, employment, center-periphery relations, the search for competitive advantages and way…

Digitalization and artificial intelligence: how new technologies can change governance in Russia
type: item
description: Introduction. Today, the modernization of the public administration system in Russia is unthinkable without the widespread introduction of digital solutions. In the context of global transformations, ensuring transparency and accountability of government is becoming a key factor in combating corruption and making effective management decisions. Within the framework of this study, we consider the potential of using artificial intelligence technologies and other digital tools to increase the degree of openness and efficiency of government institutions, which in turn can positively affect the level of public trust in them. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), on governance transparency and effectiveness in Russia. The paper discusses key aspects of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital tools, as well as their potential to improve the quality of management decisions and their evaluation. Methods. Research methods include document analysis, such as Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 490 of October 10, 2019, “On the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Russian Federation” and Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1014 of November 28, 2024, “On Assessing the Performance of Senior Officials of the Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation and the Performance of Executive Bodies of the Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation." Furthermore, an analytical method is employed to assess the impact of digitalization on public opinion and the transparency of government institutions, as well as a comparative analysis of existing digitalization practices in various countries. A literature review and data provided by government statistics also serve as the basis for the analysis. Results. The study's results demonstrate that the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as other digital technologies, such …

description: Introduction. The article is devoted to topical issues of information security in the public sector. An analysis of cyber threats that can be implemented in the public sector is being conducted. The protection of personal data in general is analyzed. Purpose. Analyze the key risks in the context of the digital transformation of public administration in the field of information security, based on statistical data and empirical indicators, and identify ways to overcome them. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research consists of the method of scientific abstraction, the analysis of normative documents and standards, system analysis, comparative analysis of statistical data, the method of trend analysis, as well as the method of expert opinions. Results. The study analyzed the regulatory framework for information security in general. Special attention is paid to electronic document management systems as a tool for the strategic direction of digital transformation of public administration. It is determined that these systems are both state information systems and personal data information systems. A brief algorithm for ensuring information security in this case is given in the context of the implementation of measures ordered by the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control for government information systems and personal data information systems. The statistics of cyber attacks on Russian government authorities in recent years are given. The main trends in the activities of intruders and methods of combating them are analyzed. Conclusions. Government institutions remain a high-priority target for intruders, despite the development of protective mechanisms. It is important to highlight the necessary measures to strengthen information security: comprehensive implementation of regulatory requirements (Federal Service for Technical and Export Control, Federal Security Service), introduction of modern technical means of information protection, adv…

Theoretical foundations and principles of forming a personnel motivation system in the academic sphere
type: item
description: Introduction. In the era of global transformations, higher education is becoming a critical factor in national competitiveness, where research and teaching staff are a key strategic resource. The Russian higher education system is going through a difficult period of institutional transformation. Continuous reforms in recent decades have significantly changed the landscape of academic work: the administrative burden has increased, the requirements for publication activity have increased, while the level of material support remains relatively low. The multitasking of research and teaching staff - from teaching and research to methodological work and international integration - forms a unique motivational matrix that does not fit into traditional management schemes. The article searches for alternative foundations and principles for building a motivation system in the academic field. Purpose. Development of an integrated approach to the formation of a system of remuneration for scientific and pedagogical staff, overcoming the limitations of traditional models of motivation in higher education. Methods. The analysis of classical and modern theories of motivation (F. Taylor, A. Maslow, F. Herzberg, V. Vroom, M. Seligman), a critical review of scientific literature, a study of information asymmetry in the academic environment, an analysis of non-economic factors of the labor behavior of scientific and pedagogical workers. The research results are focused on developing the concept of a remuneration system based on a human-centered approach, long-term contracts, building "promising lines" of professional activity, forming a competitive wage level and ensuring internal fairness. Conclusions. The proposed approach demonstrates the need to transform existing motivation models from administrative and controlling ones to partnership ones based on mutual trust and recognition of individual professional development trajectories. The research makes it possible to overcome the negat…

Municipal administration in the territories of mountaineer resettlement: problems and resolution mechanisms (on the example of the Republic of Dagestan)
type: item
description: Introduction. The lack of legal status for settlements on transhumance lands in Dagestan has led to interethnic and territorial conflicts for several decades. According to the Dagestan Ministry of Agriculture, as of May 2024, approximately 100,000 people live in 124 settlements on transhumance lands. Legally, the population is assigned to mountainous regions, but the settlements do not have municipal status because they are located on agricultural lands. Despite this, 78 schools with very limited legal authority, 16 preschools, outpatient clinics, first-aid stations, and stores have been built and are currently operating in the transhumance territories. Gasification has been established, roads, and other infrastructure have been constructed. Purpose. The author aims to examine the historical context of the formation of these territories and develop recommendations for overcoming this problem. An examination of the history of the highlanders' migration to the plains and its analysis will allow us to understand the development of technological, environmental, economic, social, territorial, and interethnic relations in the transhumance territories. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study was a historical, archival, and contextual analysis of documents from the Central State Archives of the Republic of Dagestan, including historiography on the topic, as well as analytical reviews from agencies overseeing the situation in the transhumance territories. Results. An analysis of legislative acts regulating public administration in transhumance areas revealed a contradiction that subsequently led to difficulties with municipal governance in these areas. Vague wording created the potential for corruption in the purchase and sale of lands belonging to the inalienable fund and the construction of capital structures on them. Conclusions. To overcome the legal conflict in municipal governance of settlements on transhumance lands, the author proposes: 1. determ…

Problems and prospects of the transformation of higher and general education in Russia
type: item
description: Introduction. The modern education system in Russia is undergoing a stage of systemic transformation, encompassing all levels from primary and secondary to higher education. Global challenges, including the accelerated development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as the need to strengthen national security, necessitate the search for new models of educational policy. In the context of declining quality of training and insufficient funding, education is becoming not only a sphere of social policy but also a factor of national competitiveness. Purpose. To identify the main risks and development vectors of the Russian education system, as well as to determine possible models of modernization that take into account Russia’s civilizational code and the requirements of the digital era. Materials and methods. The methodological foundation of the research is a comparative-analytical approach, including the interpretation of educational reforms in Russia in the context of global transformations. The theoretical analysis was based on the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation in the field of education, national projects (“5-100,” “Priority 2030”), as well as comparisons with foreign models - the Soviet and the Bologna systems. Methods of political science analysis were used to identify the relationship between educational policy, national security, and the formation of human capital. Results. The study identified the main risks limiting the development of education in Russia: declining quality of training, bureaucratization of teaching activities, and lack of funding. The author’s critique of the Bologna model is presented, highlighting its inconsistency with domestic conditions. Arguments are made in favor of a synthetic model combining the fundamental nature of the Russian educational tradition with the competencies of the digital age. The author’s vision of modernizing the teaching corps through institutionalized forms of certification a…

The university of tomorrow as a framework for scientific-educational corporation: conceptualization and systematic properties
type: item
description: Introduction. Digital transformation and global challenges are casting doubt on the effectiveness of the traditional university model. Within academic discourse, transformation of the classic university into the scientific-educational corporation (SEC) is proposed as a promising response to these challenges; however, the conceptual foundations and systemic properties of this format remain insufficiently explored. Purpose. To justify the concept of the scientific-educational corporation as a fundamentally new institutional form of higher education institution that best corresponds to the characteristics of the current stage of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, to define its key systemic properties, and to identify promising directions for further institutional transformation. The theoretical and methodological foundation of this research is rooted in an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the theory of institutional change and a historical-comparative analysis of the evolution of university formats. It is argued that the scientific-educational corporation represents not an evolutionary progression, but rather a radically new form of integration of science, education, and entrepreneurship, driven by a profound technological shift. Results. The article presents the author’s original concept of the scientific-educational corporation as an integrated socio-economic institution built around a triadic core—science, education, and entrepreneurship. Four principal systemic properties of the SEC are identified and systematized: (1) acting as a systemic integrator of economy and society; (2) having a network-based architecture for both internal organization and external relations; (3) exerting broad influence determined by deep integration with the real sector; and (4) demonstrating a proactive, forward-oriented approach to development. Conclusions. Effective implementation of the scientific-educational corporation paradigm requires the deliberate cu…

The regulatory function of taxes at the micro level: theory and practical implementation in Russia's tax policy at the present stage
type: item
description: Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the current stage of tax reform is characterized by the activation of the fiscal function. In the context of regulatory impact, the increase and redistribution of the tax burden causes a reaction of economic agents at the micro level. The article describes the transformation of the behavior of economic agents in response to changes in the amount of taxes, their rates, methods of calculation and the possibilities of applying benefits. The regulatory power of the state, involving the implementation of tax policy, leads to a distortion of economic incentives at the micro level and the achievement of a new balance, taking into account changes in the tax system. The purpose of the study is to predict the reaction of market agents in adapting to changes in tax policy (tightening the tax burden, analyzing the options for applying tax benefits and other preferences). Methods. The research methods include structural analysis of the economy at the micro level, description, comparison, and establishing cause-and-effect relationships in building a model of market agents' reactions to changes in the tax system, which generates and redistributes monetary income to various spending areas, which are an independent source of government revenue. Results. Possible options for manipulating direct and indirect taxes are presented, which allow market agents to maximize their results (government revenue, consumer satisfaction, and producer profit). Conclusions. At the moment, our country is facing the urgent problem of forming a balanced budget that can finance defense expenditures in the context of a special military operation. At the same time, the tightening of the tax burden should minimize the distortion of economic incentives in the behavior of economic agents, avoid social conflicts and destructive behavior, and, given the current situation of sanctions pressure, support domestic producers, especially in strategically…

Economic mechanisms for compensating environmental damage in the context of sustainable regional development
type: item
description: Introduction. The dynamics of the modern socio-economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation is accompanied by a steady increase in anthropogenic pressure on natural systems, which actualizes the problem of searching for effective environmental policy tools. In this context, economic mechanisms for compensation of environmental damage are evolving from simple cost recovery to a complex institutional process integrated into the strategic management system. However, their practical implementation is faced with systemic contradictions of a methodological and institutional nature. Purpose. To conduct a comprehensive analysis of economic mechanisms for compensating for environmental damage in the Russian Federation, identify systemic contradictions, and develop a conceptual model aimed at achieving regional sustainable development goals. Methods. The methodological basis of the research consists of systemic and institutional approaches, conceptual modeling, comparative and economic-statistical analysis of empirical data. Results. The imbalance in the system of compensation mechanisms is identified, manifested in the dominance of the fiscal function over the restorative one and the low efficiency of damage collection. To address these issues, an integrated environmental management model (EDM) was developed. It includes a methodology for assessing actual damage taking into account lost ecosystem services, an algorithm for calculating economically justified compensation rates, and a tool for assessing the contribution of environmental measures to achieving regional sustainable development goals. Conclusions. Implementation of the proposed concept will overcome key methodological and institutional barriers, transforming environmental compensation from a reactive measure into a proactive tool for managing natural capital in the context of ensuring regional sustainable development.

Russian national projects as a special mechanism for sectoral support of inclusive tourism in the context of digitalization
type: item
description: Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the practical aspects of the implementation of Russia's national projects, the implementation of which is directly or indirectly related to the provision of inclusive tourism products and services in the context of the digital transformation of the industry. The relevance of the study is related to the need to provide equal access to domestic tourism products and services, which can be achieved through the accelerating pace of industry digitalization and the positioning of Russian regions as attractive destinations for inclusive tourism. Purpose. The purpose of writing this article is to assess the potential of Russia's national projects in the context of the digital transformation of inclusive tourism as a driver of industry-specific strategic changes taking place in the current conditions Research objectives: analyze Russia's national projects and assess their impact on the development of domestic inclusive tourism; study successful regional practices of integrating digital technologies into the structure of modern tourism products; evaluate the potential of digital accessibility of Russia's tourism infrastructure based on existing national initiatives and regional projects. Theoretical basis. The article is a logical continuation of the research published by the authors earlier. However, due to the lack of development and the lack of a comprehensive study of the features of the digital transformation of inclusive tourism in the context of national projects in Russia, the authors attempted to analyze how regional initiatives related to the integration of digital technologies into the structure of a modern tourism product are replicated and supported. The main directions of state support for strategic changes taking place in the industry today are also synthesized (professional development of personnel working in the field of inclusive tourism, taking into account new technological realities, improvement of adapt…

Substantiation of the expediency and effectiveness of functional cost analysis in the business processes of subsurface use enterprises
type: item
description: Introduction. Subsurface use enterprises operate in conditions of high market volatility, technological complexity and increased environmental regulation, which necessitates the search for effective tools for managing production processes. In these circumstances, cost rationalization becomes particularly important while maintaining operational sustainability. Purpose. To substantiate the effectiveness of functional cost analysis (FSA) as a method of structural optimization of business processes in the mining industry. Methods. The work uses system analysis, functional decomposition, cost modeling and comparative analysis. The assessment of the effectiveness of the FSA is based on empirical data from Russian subsurface use enterprises, including cases from the coal, gold mining and ore industries. Results. The analysis showed that the use of the FSA makes it possible to identify hidden reserves by redistributing resources between the main and auxiliary functions, as well as by eliminating redundant and duplicative operations. The practical implementation of the method at individual enterprises has confirmed the possibility of reducing unit operating costs by 10-35%, depending on the object of analysis. Conclusions. Consistent implementation of the FSA contributes not only to cost reduction, but also to the transformation of the management culture - from responding to current problems to a systematic search for efficiency and continuous improvement. The results obtained have practical value for the management and specialists of mining enterprises in the development of optimization programs, productivity improvement and formation of resource conservation strategies.

Improving the financial mechanism for attracting and using endowment capital by educational organizations
type: item
description: Introduction. In the current conditions of modernization of the education system, according to the authors of this study, the search for alternative sources of financing educational organizations is becoming especially relevant. Endowment capital is a promising tool for ensuring financial stability and development of educational institutions, but its use in Russian practice, especially in the field of additional education, remains limited. The relevance of this study is because the current economic situation in the Russian Federation is characterized by limited budgetary resources, which creates objective prerequisites for searching for alternative mechanisms for financial support of the activities of domestic educational organizations. Purpose. Development of recommendations for improving the financial mechanism for attracting and using endowment capital by additional education organizations based on the analysis of existing practices and identification of key problems. Materials and methods. This study is based on the analysis of the regulatory framework, statistical data on the activities of additional education organizations, as well as the results of a survey of the heads of 45 additional education organizations in various regions of Russia. During the study, the author used methods of comparative analysis, expert survey and mathematical modeling. Results. During the study, the authors identified the main barriers to the formation of target capital in organizations of additional education: insufficient legal elaboration of mechanisms, low awareness of potential donors, lack of specialized competencies among the management of organizations. The author proposed a set of measures to improve the financial mechanism, including the creation of regional support funds, the development of standard documents and training programs. Conclusions. The study conducted by the authors showed that the target capital of an educational organization can become an effective tool for…

Improving the quality assessment of internal financial audit in the main administrator of federal budget funds
type: item
description: Introduction. The current realities of the Russian economy are characterized by increasing demands on the efficiency and effectiveness of budgetary funds formation and expenditure, which necessitates the importance of ensuring accountability for public finance management. Internal financial audit analyzes public finance management separately within each principal administrator of federal budget funds. Assessing the quality of this analysis is the subject of this study. Purpose. Based on a study of the powers to organize and implement internal financial audits by individual participants in the budget process, as well as a comparative analysis of budget legislation regulating them, develop a comprehensive model for assessing the quality of internal financial audits in the main administrators of federal budget funds. Methods. The main methods in the study were system analysis to assess the relationship between the powers to organize and implement internal financial audit in the main administrators of federal budget funds and indicators for assessing the quality of their implementation, as well as structural and functional to determine the concepts characterizing the quality of internal financial audit in the main administrators of federal budget funds. Results and Conclusions. The analyzed current approaches to checking and analyzing the effectiveness of internal financial audit in the main administrators of federal budget funds, carried out by state financial control bodies, do not meet the criteria of complexity and are aimed exclusively at assessing compliance with the requirements of budget legislation. In order to comprehensively assess the quality of internal financial audit in the main administrators of federal budget funds, according to the authors, it is necessary to carry out a quantitative assessment of the execution of relevant powers, including taking into account the opinion of the subject of budgetary procedures based on the results of audit activities. …

International economic cooperation between Russia and China in the field of combating terrorism
type: item
description: Introduction. In recent decades, terrorism has become one of the most serious threats to the world order, affecting various public spheres, including economics, security, and law. Modern terrorist organizations use the latest digital technologies to use global financial flows to expand their activities, disguising transactions through offshore companies and shadow banking structures. It is the financial component of terrorist activity, being the basis of the existence and functioning of extremist structures, that requires an integrated and coordinated response from the international community. Purpose. The research is aimed at studying the mechanism of international economic cooperation between Russia and China to increase the effectiveness of measures to prevent the financing of terrorism and minimize its impact on the global economy. Methods. The methodology of the research is based on a systematic approach, structural, comparative and statistical analysis through the method of expert assessments, as well as on the use of a descriptive method, which made it possible to summarize and interpret the data obtained. Results. The analysis of the implementation of public infrastructure projects has confirmed that the strategic partnership between Russia and China has a high potential for strengthening global financial security. The author provides data confirming the positive dynamics of economic relations between the two countries, which indicates a significant improvement in financial control indicators, including stricter regulation of cryptocurrencies, the development of digital financial monitoring systems and increased sanctions measures. Conclusions. International economic cooperation is a prerequisite for successfully countering the global threat of terrorism. As major strategic partners and key members of the UN Security Council, Russia and China have consistently expanded their joint initiatives aimed at combating illicit financial flows from terrorist organiza…

Constructing an all-Russian identity in the context of geopolitical confrontation: theoretical and applied analysis
type: item
description: Introduction. The new geopolitical reality that emerged after the post-Crimean transformation marked the milestone from which the civilizational turn in the development of Russian society began. It became not only a response to foreign policy challenges, but also a manifestation of the internal need to rethink national identity through the values of historical continuity and cultural sovereignty. Under these conditions, there was a value-normative reorientation of public consciousness aimed at affirming patriotism, prioritizing national interests and consolidating society around spiritual and moral foundations. The purpose of the research is a political analysis of the transformation of Russian civic identity, identifying key determinants and mechanisms of institutionalization of new value orientations. The methodological framework is a synthesis of classical and modern approaches, providing a multi-level analysis of identity in the context of geopolitical turbulence. The research is based on the civilizational paradigm of A.S. Panarin, the constructivist approach of E. Gellner and B. Anderson, the theory of moral foundations by J. Haidt, as well as the ideas of P. Berger and T. Lukman on the social construction of reality. Within the framework of the models of T. Parsons and D. Easton analyzes the functions of political identity in ensuring the stability and adaptability of the political system. The methods of discourse analysis, historical-comparative and institutional analysis are used to identify the mechanisms of formation of modern Russian identity. Results. The results show that the genesis of a new identity is determined by a complex of exogenous and endogenous factors: global geopolitical competition and the transformation of international relations, as well as the consequences of the socio-economic and value crisis of the 1990s. Adoption of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation № 809 dated 09.11.2022 «On the approval of the Foundations of state…

Legitimation of ethno-confessional self-determination of citizens in the legal systems of newly independent states: a comparative political analysis
type: item
description: Introduction. The self-organization of citizens based on cultural identities - ethnic and confessional - constitutes a substantial segment of civic self-determination. The pursuit of ethno-confessional interests is most appropriately conducted within the general legal framework of democratic states, where civil-society actors shaped by ethnic and religious determinants are formed and operate on legitimate grounds within public policy. The legal and doctrinal substantiation of self-organization grounded in ethno-confessional identity requires scholarly attention, not least because religion and the religious factor increasingly manifest themselves as extra-political forces within political processes. Purpose. Identification of the determination, principles, and country specifics of the target bank of laws of some post-Soviet states, which ensures the ethno-confessional security and comfort of citizens in the context of democratic transit, which provides for ideological, ideological pluralism and identification freedom. The methodological basis of the research is institutionalism, which makes it possible to identify the correlation of systemic determinants and objective circumstances of democratic political transit in the republics of the former Soviet Union with the development of targeted legislation - the constitutions of newly independent states. The research capabilities of institutionalism make it possible to conduct a comparative political analysis of the intentions of the basic laws of a number of countries, which creates the opportunity to consider the legal framework of ethno-confessional self-determination as a significant segment of civil society as a socio-political institution. Results. The legislative (primarily constitutional) frameworks established in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Moldova sustain the realities of democratic political transition, which entail expanding the identity-based grounds for citizens’ self-organization within civil society.

Targeting identity: the concept of weaponized narrative in the propaganda discourse of modern wars
type: item
description: Introduction. The growing role of information and propaganda in contemporary armed conflicts raises the question of the specific role of narratives within it. Directly related to this is the question of to what extent does the role of narratives in war discourse influence not only their semantic content but also their structure? And how can this morphological feature of narratives used in war contexts be conceptually expressed? Purpose. To substantiate the claim that, among all the varieties of political narrative used in the analysis of modern military propaganda discourse, the concept of armed narrative appears particularly promising methodologically. Methods. As the primary research method, the author applies a structural approach to the analysis of political narratives, as well as a comparative analysis of concepts related to the discourse of military-political conflicts. Results. This article presents a critical analysis of political narrative concepts in terms of their relevance to the discursive and propaganda specifics of modern warfare. Drawing on the experience of understanding armed narratives in Western think tanks, the author describes the structural features of armed narratives, as well as their functions in military propaganda discourse. Based on the research conducted, the article demonstrates the potential of the armed narrative concept, particularly for analyzing anti-Russian propaganda discourse. Conclusions. The article substantiates that an armed narrative, always aimed at the identity of the enemy and its target audience, tends not to objectively analyze the situation, but to promote its subjective interpretation in order to displace competing narratives. The author concludes that, unlike other concepts expressing varieties of political narratives, the concept of armed narrative allows for the most accurate expression of the discursive specifics of modern military-political conflicts.

Transformation of forms of social consolidation in the context of global crises and civilizational shifts of the 21st century
type: item
description: Introduction. In the 21st century, transformational processes are taking place within the structure of social life: the development of innovative digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and global networks is radically reshaping forms of communication and social interaction. At the same time, crisis tendencies are intensifying at both global and local levels - political polarization, hybrid conflicts (wars), and the erosion of trust in institutions threaten traditional mechanisms of social consolidation. Under these conditions, the study of the nature and forms of social consolidation, as well as the analysis of their transformation in response to global and national instability, becomes particularly relevant. Purpose. To analyze contemporary forms of social consolidation and to determine the vectors of their evolution within the context of civilizational and socio-political changes of the 21st century. Methods. The research employs interdisciplinary and comparative-analytical methods, which make it possible to examine the phenomenon of social consolidation at the intersection of sociological, political, and cultural approaches. The analysis is based on a structural-functional approach, which enables the identification of mechanisms and patterns in the transformation of forms of social consolidation depending on the existing socio-political global and glocal context. Results. The conducted research clearly demonstrates that traditional institutional and value-normative forms of social consolidation show a declining integrative potential under the conditions of international relations crises, increasing digitalization, political fragmentation, and growing social entropy. It has been established that modern society is characterized by a transition from vertically institutional mechanisms of unity to hybrid network formats of interaction, based on horizontal connections and communicative integration. The effectiveness of consolidation processes directly correlat…

Cybersecurity in local governments: a systematic review and analysis of key issues
type: item
description: Introduction. Cybersecurity has become a major issue in modern urban governance, as local governments are now not only responsible for managing traditional infrastructure, but also ensuring the protection of digital systems and citizens' data in increasingly digitalized smart cities. Despite the importance of reliable cyber security measures, there is a serious problem: local governments are often insufficiently prepared to counter growing cyber threats. This discrepancy highlights the need for a comprehensive study of the issues that hinder effective cybersecurity in local governments. Purpose. To give an idea of the most important cybersecurity issues faced by local authorities, as well as formulate specific recommendations that will help city politicians, administrators and researchers to increase resilience to cyber threats in this important but little-studied area. Methods. This study uses a systematic literature review using the three-step PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Elements for and Meta-analyses). Results. In the course of a systematic analysis, we have identified and classified the main significant problems that hinder the adoption of effective cybersecurity measures in local authorities. The problems are listed in descending order of the frequency of their mention in the literature. This ranking reflects the prevalence and perceived impact of each issue in the context of local government cybersecurity. Conclusions. Among the many problems identified, the most common were a clear lack of funding, a shortage of qualified personnel, and a lack of cybersecurity policies or regulatory requirements. These problems are not only frequently mentioned in the existing literature, but are also compounded by the tight budget constraints under which local governments usually operate. Another major challenge for local governments is the lack of robust cybersecurity policies or regulatory requirements that address the unique needs of local governments. The lac…

Diasporas in the system of political institutions of Russia: a functional analysis
type: item
description: Introduction. The relevance of this study is driven by the growing size and political activity of diasporas in Russia, which amplifies their impact on the host society and establishes them as a significant factor in national security. Purpose. To conduct a functional analysis of diasporas as one of the social institutions in contemporary Russia. Methods. The theoretical and methodological framework of the study is based on the concept of neoinstitutionalism. This foundation informed the development of the author's original approach, which allows for differentiating the characteristics of diasporas as social institutions and as organizations. The research on the social institutions of diasporas and the Russian political system employed methods of theoretical analysis, generalization, and data systematization. Results. The article provides an analysis and an author's critique of the regulatory framework governing state-diaspora interactions. It also summarizes and systematizes data from academic literature concerning the political objectives of diasporas and the socio-political practices prevalent among their members. Factual evidence from online sources, including reports from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and news channels, is presented to support the relevance of the identified trends. Conclusions. The study establishes that diaspora institutions exhibit significant dysfunctions. These include the promotion of anti-integrationist attitudes, lobbying for the interests of their countries of origin and specific ethnic groups to the detriment of the indigenous population, as well as the propagation of ethnic conflict and criminality. The article substantiates the view that the proliferation of these institutional dysfunctions is rooted in the paradoxical political status of diasporas. Despite possessing extensive rights, they have long remained largely unaccountable and beyond the effective control of the host state. The proposed solution involves improving legal me…

Educational policy of higher education in the era of artificial Intelligence: an ecosystem approach to technology integration and transformation of teaching practices
type: item
description: Introduction. Modern higher education is undergoing profound transformation driven by digitalization and the proliferation of artificial intelligence. These changes necessitate a revision of traditional educational models and the exploration of new approaches to organizing the learning process. This article examines the potential of the ecosystem approach as a response to the challenges of the digital age. Purpose. The study aims to analyze the capabilities of the ecosystem approach for integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the educational policy of higher education and transforming teaching practices. Methods. The methodological basis of the research includes system analysis, comparative characterization of AI implementation models in universities, and theoretical generalization of current educational trends. The study is based on the examination of adaptation models of Russian universities and representative scientific publications on the digital transformation of education. Results. Six models of university adaptation to AI technologies were identified and their features analyzed. The authors provide a critique of the fragmented approach to digitalization in education. The necessity of transitioning from situational response to a systematic educational policy based on the principles of the new pedagogy of the ecosystem approach is substantiated. Conclusions. The issue of enhancing the appeal of the modern education system creates new trends in the educational process. The transition to a digital society, new economic demands, and technological development require not only updating teaching tools but also rethinking the very logic of the educational process. The academic community increasingly emphasizes the need for an ecosystem approach, wherein the educational environment is perceived as a living, self-developing system where knowledge, technologies, and social connections form a unified space for development. The ecosystem approach enables the …

Spiritual and moral education of students in the system of modern Russian higher education: main problems and prospects
type: item
description: Introduction. The relevance of the scientific study of the problems of spiritual and moral education of students in the system of modern Russian higher education is due to the fact that the degree of effectiveness of the educational activity in question depends on the assimilation and acceptance by students of relevant values and guidelines of a spiritual and moral nature, which form the basis of the Russian worldview, the foundation of national and civil identity, and the unified socio-cultural space of the country. The importance of spiritual and moral education is also determined by the fact that university graduates in the near future will form the elite of Russian society, whose representatives will have to make decisions affecting various areas of the country's life, implement socio-economic and cultural policies, the degree of effectiveness of which depends on the well-being of Russian citizens. Purpose. The research is aimed at identifying the main problems of functioning and determining the prospects for the development of the system of spiritual and moral education in modern Russian higher education, as well as at studying effective means and methods of activity aimed at the assimilation and acceptance of spiritual and moral values by students, forming the basis of their worldview and identity. Achieving this goal will make it possible to determine the optimal methods of educational activities within the framework of teaching social and humanitarian disciplines, providing for the formation of civic and patriotic values in the minds of students. Methods. The paper uses methods of comparative, statistical analysis, secondary analysis of materials from applied sociological research, as well as scientific works by Russian scientists devoted to the problems of spiritual and moral education of representatives of various groups of youth in modern Russian society. Both theoretical and practical research tools were used as the methodological basis of the study. Res…

Spirituality and social practices of cultural policy
type: item
description: Introduction. The article examines the effectiveness of the implementation of state cultural policy in promoting spirituality in Russian society. This issue has gained increased attention due to the importance of the spiritual aspects of Russian society. The formation of the spiritual sphere as a fundamental aspect of national security has become a crucial aspect of public administration. The purpose of this article is to identify the challenges in the development of the spiritual component of social existence through an analysis of the state cultural policy in the Russian Federation. Methods. The authors relied on the provisions of the axiological, value-normative, institutional and systemic approaches and used empirical methods, such as the analysis of regulatory legal and project documents governing cultural policy, as well as materials presented on the official websites of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Public Opinion Foundation and the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion. Results. Based on the study of the historiography of the problem of spirituality, as well as the materials of the FOM and All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, it was decided that it would be appropriate to analyze the state cultural policy of the Russian Federation through the lens of the classical axiological triad of spirituality in various interpretations presented in both theological and secular philosophical traditions - “truth, goodness, and beauty.” In this context, the main social institutions that focus on the formation of spirituality are science and education (theorism), upbringing (ethics), and art (aesthetics). Science and education perform the function of creating the foundation of spirituality - the formation of the conceptual and categorical apparatus, the conceptualization of concepts, the competent interpretation of works of classical literature, the objective interpretation and assessment of historical facts, etc. The mai…

A digital twin of a university as a tool for predictive analysis and optimization of educational and scientific processes
type: item
description: Introduction. The level of development of the modern economy and the entire socio-economic sphere places increased demands on the effectiveness of universities. The issues of using digital twins in universities and other higher education institutions are considered to be rather poorly studied methodologically and have a low frequency of application in practice. This makes it important to conduct research in this area in order to develop digital twin prototypes aimed at solving a wide range of tasks to improve the strategic and operational efficiency of new generation universities. Purpose. Development of a conceptual model of a digital twin in the contour of the university management system. Methods. To address the research objectives, general scientific and empirical methods of economic research were used: economic observation, systems analysis, expert assessments, and a scenario approach. Research in the field of simulation modeling and digital twin construction served as the theoretical and methodological basis. Results and conclusions. The author's conceptual model of a digital twin in the contour of the university management system is proposed, and a classification of the university's digital twin functionality is developed. The key features of the proposed concept are: the distribution of the digital twin's functionality by levels - strategic, operational and resource, in order to apply various simulation mechanisms in each component to achieve the best result.; the use of artificial intelligence tools to automate the management decision-making process; the possibility of automatic self-learning of simulation models as part of a digital twin. The methodological proposals described in this article can be used for promising practical prototyping of the university's digital twin by: distributing the functionality of the digital twin at levels - strategic, operational and resource, in order to apply various simulation modeling mechanisms in each component to achie…

Peculiarities of the implementation of Russia’s foreign policy toward the ALBA countries
type: item
description: Introduction. In recent years, Russia’s foreign policy has shown a growing interest in strengthening relations with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), particularly with the members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA). This process is driven by ideological and geopolitical motives, reflecting Moscow’s aspiration to promote a multipolar world order. The purpose of this study is to identify and systematize the key factors shaping Russia’s policy toward the ALBA countries and to analyze their role in implementing Russia’s foreign policy priorities in Latin America. Methods. The research is based on systemic and comparative-historical approaches, as well as methods of political and content analysis of official documents, public statements, and expert assessments. Results. The study revealed that Russia’s policy toward the ALBA countries is determined by a combination of ideological, geopolitical, economic, and military-strategic factors. At the ideological level, there is a tendency toward symbolic and rhetorical rapprochement based on a shared critique of the unipolar world order and a commitment to anti-imperialist discourse. In the geopolitical dimension, cooperation with the ALBA countries serves as a tool for counterbalancing U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere and contributes to strengthening Russia’s international status as an independent power center. Multilateral cooperation plays a significant role, providing Russia with diplomatic support in international organizations and reinforcing «Global South» coalitions. The economic dimension of the policy is reflected in efforts to diversify markets, develop energy and infrastructure cooperation, and expand export capacities. Finally, military-technical cooperation strengthens the strategic nature of relations and joint defense initiatives, thereby enhancing the institutional resilience of bilateral relations. Conclusions. The interaction between the Russian Feder…
