value:
The metallurgical sector of Russia has been a recipient of state support at the federal and regional
levels for many years. The sector receives subsidies from more than 90 programs and
indirectly benefits from pricing policies for electricity, natural gas and rail transport. However,
the analysis of measures to support the sector under the conditions of Western sanctions and
the coronavirus pandemic is of particular relevance. The aim of the work is to determine
the role of state support for steel producers in the face of external shocks — the coronavirus
pandemic and Western sanctions. The working hypothesis of the study is the assertion that
direct and indirect measures related to supporting the sector in the face of sanctions and the
negative consequences of coronavirus contribute to reducing the adaptation costs of producers,
as well as increasing their competitiveness. The stated goal and the indicated hypothesis
determine the structure of the paper. Thus, the author examines the theoretical and practical
aspects of the impact of sanctions on the national economy, the Russian steel market, state
policy towards the steel industry, as well as direct and indirect measures of state assistance
that affect the steel production sector. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive
review of indirect and direct mechanisms of state support for the industry. The study resulted
in the identification of channels of state influence on the steel market in the context of the
COVID-19 pandemic and sanctions. The results of the study can be used in the formation of
the Russian industrial policy.

During the political, economic instability and uncertainty, both the goals of economic regulation
and the methods of decision-making are changing. Against the backdrop of changes in
state policy, the need to ensure national security is becoming more acute, while there are still
decision-making risks associated with the rent-seeking behavior of the regulatory authority
or some market players. This article considers Draft law no. 160605–8 “On Amendments to
the Federal Law “On Advertising” in context of regulating relations in the outdoor advertising,
both in terms of the legislative innovation effectsand the compliance of these norms with
the criteria for “promising trajectories” of institutional changes. After a resonant discussion
in the media, the Draft law was rejected by the State Duma in its second reading, which confirms
the importance of public discussions on lawmaking and economic analysis of the proposed
measures. With the regulatory impact assessment methodology, we get a qualitative and
quantitative estimation of organizational and technical measures of the proposed regulation
(namely, the emergence of a private single operator of digital advertising structures). We also
offer alternative institutional solutions that allow achieving the proclaimed goal of the draft
law with greater efficiency: the introduction of business requirements (licensing, accreditation,
maintaining a registry) or implementation of market self-organization. We conclude that
granting control functions to one of the market players creates risks associated with an unresolved
conflict of interest, which can lead to monopolization of digital out-of-home services
and budget losses.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of an effective system of employment in
the economy of the region. The structure of employment by types of economic activity is
an indicator of the state of the socio-economic development of the region; when forming
employment policy at the regional level, it is necessary to take into account structural shifts
in employment, reflecting intersectoral overflows of labor resources. A classification of types
of economic activity is proposed according to the ratio of the degree of impact of the components
of structural changes (national, sectoral, regional) on the level of employment of the
population, reflecting the conditions for the development of the industry in the region and
allowing to identify industries that are promising for increasing employment. The main task
of the classification is to identify the types of economic activity for the development of which
there are favorable conditions in the region. Research hypothesis: the key points of growth in
the number of people employed in the region can become economic activities for which the
regional component takes a positive maximum value, which confirms the presence in the region
of growth factors for these industries that can provide them with competitive advantages.
To test the hypothesis, the proposed classification was tested on the example of the Republic
of Sakha (Yakutia), partly included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The contribution
of national, sectoral, regional factors to the change in employment by type of economic
activity is analyzed, industries that have a priority impact on increasing the level of employment
in the region are identified. Based on a comparison with other regions that are wholly or
partially included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the significance for increasing
the number of types of economic activities employed in the economy of the regions for which
the regional component of structural changes is positive and exceeds the national and sectoral
ones (first, second, third groups of classification) is shown. ), which confirms the hypothesis.
On the basis of the carried-out classification, an assessment of the effectiveness of the regional
employment policy of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the context of types of economic
activity is given, directions for increasing employment are proposed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the concept of “human dignity” in the context of philosophical and legal
existence; scientific and philosophical identification of dignity as a polysemantic concept allows
us to state its universal value and consider it as a universal legal and ethical category. The
research work reveals the views of modern philosophers and lawyers on the nature and role
of dignity in relation to human rights. The aim is to study the philosophical foundations and
legal aspects of human dignity, to highlight the conceptual foundations of dialogue and the coexistence
of human dignity and human rights in modern philosophical and legal discussions.
The polysemy and polymorphism of human dignity is combined with a wealth of concepts of
dignity, especially in modern constitutional jurisprudence and the practice of constitutionalism,
and a unified theoretical basis for the relationship between individual dignity and human rights. The author used general and specific research methods, including methods of dialectics,
inductive-deductive analysis, legal hermeneutics and legal engineering and a discursive
approach, critical rationalism, and legal realism. Conclusions: dignity as a philosophical and
legal category in modern discussions has several of the most important hypostases, reflecting
the fundamental categorical meaning: a) the category of ethics and humanistic understanding
of man; b) a legal category with a significant variety of legal forms of consolidation at
the international, supranational and domestic levels, in the branches of legal regulation; c) a
historically changeable category, affecting both the evolution of ethics and law, the legal status
of individuals. The article proposes four approaches to the relationship between human rights
and human dignity, which are based on four concepts of human dignity: 1) dignity as a gift
and heritage; 2) dignity as a social achievement and social honor; 3) dignity as human capacity;
4) dignity as human potential.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Aristotle, calling man “political by nature,” predetermined the actual opportunity to consider
politics through the prism of practical action, through specific ways of equitable arrangement
of public life. Thrown into a digital existence, where the ambivalent task of realizing one’s vulnerable
position arises, exposing oneself to risk, while simultaneously navigating the indefinite
space of a dynamically developing community. The modern territory of politics is being mastered
by actants with the help of a renewed arsenal of means, taking into account the meaning
of design (de + signare), the signs of which acquire multiplication of ideas about complexly
organized integrity of its image. Integration ties of semiosis “sew through” the heterotopy
of the renewed territory of political action, putting down the chronological framework of
events in sign expression (index, symbol, code, number), to compare and supplement possible
transformational semiotic shifts and confusions, thus creating a plausible and recognizable
semiotic image of the current state of affairs in society. Semiotic representation emphasizes
the sign, symbolic nature of political action as a political event, realized by its subject in the
process of normogenesis and anchored in the pragmatics of everyday activity. Conditional
analytical dismemberment of the process of semiosis (syntactics, semantics, pragmatics) of
political action initiates the synchronization of methodological synthesis, which leads to the
co-creation of the subject and structure at the level of reflective analysis. This allows us to add
the “included third”, traditional for the transdisciplinary methodological approach, into the
agent-structure dichotomy, which is classic for the science of politics, serving as a target reason
for creating integral image of political action. It should be noted that the “included third”
as the target cause does not guarantee the unambiguity of the outcome of the formation of the
specified action, but only adjusts the optics of tracking its possible configurations, taking into
account both contextual and environmental conditionality.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem, the solution of which this article is devoted to, is related to the lack of special
studies of the concept of “invisible enemy” in political philosophy. Existing theoretical works do not pay enough attention to this concept. Its metaphorical use fails to make explicit all
of its potential and importance for political philosophy. As “invisible enemies” only in the
metaphorical sense of this term can be regarded objects that have a non-anthropogenic nature
(viruses, bacteria, sources of disease), as well as extraneous elements of the political body
that have destructive potential. The analysis carried out revealed two semantic areas of using
the concept of “invisible enemies”, relevant to political philosophy, and namely physical
and symbolic invisibility. The physical invisibility, which is regarded in the works by Сarl von
Clausewitz, Сarl Schmitt, Zygmunt Bauman, Grégoire Chamayou and others, belongs to enemies
on the battlefield or to remote warfare. Russian philosophers look at this concept from
an ethical perspective (Vladimir Solovyov, Lev Karsavin, Nikolai Berdyaev, Fyodor Stepun).
The author of the article substantiates the thesis about the situational and relative nature of the
phenomenon of the invisible enemy, associated with reaching the limit of perceptual indistinguishability.
The physical invisibility of the enemy is caused by the appropriation of new war
spaces in which vertical dimensions are established. Arguing with the ideas of Carl Schmitt,
the author uses this concept not only in relation to the irregular fighters (partisans), but also in
relation to modern combatants. The ways of acquisition of the symbolic invisibility are revealed
in the works of Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, Carl Schmitt. It is based on the transfer of
the war actor to a different semantic field, in which it is depoliticized and re-symbolized as a
civilian object.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of the article is to clarify the concept of social amnesia, which often does not differ
in modern research works from other manifestations of social forgetfulness. The author offers
a general typology of this phenomenon, based on the conceptual distinctions introduced
by T. Parsons and D. Easton. These refer to the difference between a social system and an actor,
on the one hand, and the difference between a social group and grouping, on the other.
Accordingly, the author identifies three types of social amnesia: systemic, structural, and actor
one. The article draws attention to the difficulties of conceptualizing actor and structural
amnesia, since they are often mixed with organized (prescribed) oblivion or the pragmatics
of forgetting, complementing the process of memorization. To clarify these points, the author
turns to the experience of studying the amnesic effects generated by the totalitarian organization
of oblivion. To this end, the article analyzes the understanding of totalitarian amnesia
in the artistic images of George Orwell, as well as in the concepts of Hannah Arendt that are
consonant with them. The author emphasizes that the totalitarian “neuro-linguistic politics of
memory” gives rise to amnesic effects regarding the past primarily in its living witnesses, and
not only in future generations. Further, the author clarifies the concept of structural amnesia,
which has received a contradictory interpretation in modern social sciences and humanities.
In this regard, the article discusses the significant role of structural amnesia in the destruction
but also in the formation of social identities. Based on the cases presented in the scientific
studies to this topic, the author raises the question of the specifics of structural amnesia as
an effect of social modernization and high mobility in the formation of national identities at
micro- and macro-level.

Fish-related trade disputes dealt with by the World Trade Organization (WTO) arise from
the complexity of the fisheries industry, and the transboundary nature of fish, combined with
differing national policies and interests. The Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS) aims to
strengthen the role of the WTO in regulating the fish trade and curbing unsustainable fishing
practices such as illegal fishing, overcapacity, and overfishing by limiting excessive fisheries
subsidies. This article reveals the legal framework of the WTO to regulate the fish trade and
resolve trade disputes and outlines the prospects for fish trade in light of the Agreement on
Fisheries Subsidies (AFS). It has been established that general principles, quantitative restrictions,
and anti-dumping measures, rather than subsidies, are the most common legal issues
in trade disputes on fish products. Technical trade barriers, sanitary and phytosanitary measures,
and general national exemptions are also frequent sources of disputes in the fish trade.
These measures, designed for safety, health, and environmental reasons, are increasingly used
for protectionist purposes by creating trade barriers. The AFS expands the legal framework
for resolving trade disputes in the field of fish trade after its ratification. However, this recent
international regulation combined with climate change and tightening food standards, is expected
to lead to more disputes with developing countries over the fish trade.

international cooperation came to the organizers as early as mid-2021. Substantial escalation
of the geopolitical tension by Spring 2022, on the one hand, made the selected topic
much more relevant, on the other hand additionally limited the list of potential discussants.
Nevertheless, despite of this obstacle programme committee managed to arrange the international
team of experts giving their answers to the questions asked by moderators. The
questions included necessity and possibility for the radical reassessment of the perception
traditionally prevailing among social scientists. According to this perception expansion of
trade has the positive impact on political relations between trading partners. Another topical
issue deals with possible repercussions of economic sanctions actively imposed by some
members of international community. The experts also discussed the motives behind decisions
made by many foreign companies to exit from the Russian market. At the final stage
of the panel its participants expressed their views on the prospects of the global governance

Correlation problem of contradictions between “risk-beneficiaries” and “risk-outsiders” gains
particular relevance during periods of the established order’s forced change and fundamental,
ontological uncertainty. On the basis of riskological literature generalization we offer conflict
potential’s analysis methodology of different risk-reflections’ types. Theoretical developments
on problems of risk and protection/security forms’ dialectic and dialectic of risk’s foundation
and its reflection had served as research’s conceptual framework. In this debate special place is
occupied by works by U. Beck whose interpretation of actualization of social tensions is linked
with the conflictual perception of risks’ producers and consumers and works by P. Virno who
suggested certain theoretical solutions on methodology of risks-reflexivity’s key elements’ singling
out. Authors’ attention is focused on the main reflexive characteristics of stakeholders’
analysis. It is shown that risk-reflections are fraught with ideological and political preferences
while in risks’ distribution process there is difference of hierarchies in which under certain
stakeholders’ dominance, risk-beneficiaries shape outsiders’ adaptation strategies to their advantage
in zone of threats and dangers, imposing them certain risk-reflections models, winning
chances’ institualization forms and risk behavior strategies. Article considers approaches
to the solution of the issue of the different interests’ groups’ selection criteria of the dangers’
priorities’ importance and significance and evaluation/revaluation/underestimation issue of
risk severity levels and its social acceptability. Article presents theoretical perspective of the
socially acceptable risk level, its capacity, limit and disagreement of social subjects with the
evaluation of tolerance towards risk on the basis of “risk-appetite” model. In this context special
attention is paid to the threats’ free “selling and buying” logic, e.g. security as the source of
risk management resources’ conversion into possession of power and property. Authors come
to the conclusion that risks exploitation and earning rent from risks management along with
reflexive conservation of risks’ distribution system cause society’s conflict potential’s growth.

The article examines the conflict and balance perspectives of ethical reflection on the digitalization
challenges. Based on digital society conceptions by Manuel Castells, Tom Redshaw,
Mary Chayco, the theory of communal and non-communal conflicts by George Simpson, the
ethics of technology by Joseph Pitt and Peter-Paul Verbeek, the author suggests that the digital
society is indeed a specific model of social relations with an ever-increasing connectedness
and speed of exchange, which, nevertheless, realizes itself in the previously established and
essentially unchanged socio-economic structure. At the same time, the consistently expanding
digital intervention in the space of value interactions makes ethical reflection of digitalization
necessary, which should realize itself not as an explication of digital ethics as a new morality,
but by adapting the already existing body of theoretical and applied ethics to the conditions of
the digital age. In this context, the article focuses to the conflict of values as the dominant way
for ethical positions updating and a new moral balance achieving in order to effectively absorb
the contradictions caused by digitalization. The article shows that such conflicts are communal;
the options for their deployment do not contain a scenario of a structural crisis, due to
the sufficient elasticity of the zone of disagreement, which makes it possible to accommodate
a large number of compromise settlement strategies. On the basis of the identified substantial
characteristics of the digital society, the author concludes that the speed of changes, the lack
of localization, will contribute to the ethical institutionalization of the innovations results as a
more flexible form of regulation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
For Kant causality is an a priori category of the understanding, a necessary condition for the
possibility of any experience. Later Wittgenstein’s philosophy rejects transcendentalism. We
can only speak of causes and effects if in some basic situations, or ‘language games’, we already
treat some things as causes of what happens. Since the notion of cause becomes meaningful
only within a language game, it is not unambiguous. Quantum causal language games presuppose
the use of quantum theory. We treat the latter as Wittgenstein’s grammar of a quantum
‘form of life’, or rule (norm), anchored in its applications — quantum phenomena as language
games. Quantum correlations are often interpreted as a manifestation of the nonlocality of
quantum mechanics. This is a view of quantum phenomena from the perspective of classical
physics. Our contextual point of view rejects the nonlocality of quantum theory in the
sense of instantaneous causal influence at a distance. But it does not admit its locality in the
sense of classical causality either. We introduce the notion of quantum causality which allows
us to treat quantum correlations as local, but context-dependent. Their formal cause is an entangled wave function. Any particular quantum correlation, identifiable in a context of its
observation as a result of the wave function reduction, post factum can be treated as a classical
causal correlation. From the point of view of the proposed contextual quantum realism,
epistemology is secondary, and ontology is sensitive to context. Quantum correlations exist
(are real) before application of the theory, independently of their identification (description,
measurement), but have no identity, which appears only as a result of application of the theory
and their identification in the context. In other words, they are real, but not pre-determined,
not autonomous.

The purpose of the article is an attempt to develop approaches to the reconstruction of the
place and role of literature in the intellectual and information sphere of Russian theological
academies of the nineteenth — early twentieth centuries. The current publication has been
prepared on the basis of sources of various origins: catalogs of libraries of theological academies,
periodicals published in the Orthodox theological academies of the Russian Empire
(Khristianskoe chtenie (Christian Reading), Trudy Kievskoi Dukhovnoi Akademii (Proceedings
of the Kiev Theological Academy), Pravoslavnyi sobesednik (Orthodox Interlocutor), Bogoslovskii
vestnik (Theological Bulletin), for instance), Orthodox autobiographies, proceedings
of meetings of councils of theological academies, programs of training courses, teaching
manuals (textbooks and anthologies), etc. The analysis of those numerous sources shows that
the libraries of four Orthodox theological academies of the Russian Empire had large collections
of fiction in various languages, including works of Russian literature. Studying Russian
literature was also part of a number of training courses. Initially, it was due not so much to the
desire to provide students with a versatile education, but to the desire to develop their artistic
taste and literary abilities, which was necessary for composing sermons. But later, literature
was interpreted as something of powerful influence at a person’s worldview, something that
could compete with religion. The study shows that the influence of contemporary Russian
literature was constantly increasing, and, by the early twentieth century, the programs of theological

dc.description.abstract

value:
The scholarly understanding of the problem of the cultural and civilizational fate of Russia is
largely relevant due to the Eurasian civilizational breakdown that occurred on the territory of
our great Motherland at the end of the 20th century. Currently, there is a need for a project that
can accelerate integration processes in the North-East of Eurasia. This requires an appeal to
the intellectual heritage of prominent Russian thinkers, including the ideological predecessors
of the classics of Eurasianism. Using the historical and philosophical methodology, the methodology
of civilizational theories, the author of the article substantiates the conclusion about
the scientific significance of both the Eurasian civilizational concept and the ideas of major
thinkers — predecessors of historical Eurasians. Elements of novelty are contained in the author’s
criticism of two dubious positions in covering the issue of the ideological predecessors
of the Eurasians. The conclusion is substantiated that the ideological predecessors of Eurasians
were thinkers of various worldview orientations from Slavophiles, soil workers, conservative
monarchists to existentialists, supporters of Orthodox Socialism. The research novelty is also
contained in the author’s judgment that classical Eurasians managed to overcome the exclusiveness
of the Great Russian and the limited Slavic nature of Russia’s civilizational identity
contained in the works of their predecessors. In determining the ideological predecessors of
the Eurasians, the classical concept of the latter was taken into account, and not the Renewed-
Clamar variation of this movement. Thanks to the influence of the ideas of predecessors, classical
Eurasians managed to develop a holistic concept of the cultural belonging of our country.
It is based on the judgment of Russia-Eurasia as a civilizational continent of equal Europe.
The comprehension of the Eurasian concept acquires special significance in connection with
the objective need for the development of a social project for the civilization revival of Russia.

The article analyzes for the first time the features of the publication policy in the field of philosophy
in university journals published in Russia in the second half of the 19th — early 20th
centuries, using the example of publications on Classical philosophy. The author shows that
the materials presented in university journals reflected the results of research and educational activities in the field of Classical philosophy, including not only conceptual and critical articles,
but also dissertations, act speeches, lectures, historiographic reviews, source descriptions, and
commented translations of ancient authors. While the professors of Saint Petersburg, Moscow,
and Kharkov Universities preferred to publish their philosophical works in specialized journals
— Zhurnal Ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya, Voprosy filosofii i psihologii, and Vera
i razum, the professors of Kiev, Kazan, Novorossiysk, and Warsaw Universities published their
works on Classical philosophy, first of all, in their university journals, maintaining the authority
of a certain university academic school. The article highlights the works by Professors
D. F. Belyaev, E. A. Bobrov, A. N. Gilyarov, Yu.A. Kulakovsky, F. G. Mishchenko, V. I. Modestov,
Ass. Professor G. I. Yakubanis, who made a significant contribution not only to the study of
Classical philosophy, but also to the development of the studying antiquity in general, their
research works became the foundation on which the modern study of the history of Classical
culture in Russia is developing.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article analyzes incidents of blasphemy that occurred both during and in the period immediately
following the Russian Revolution. The debate on blasphemy in revolutionary Russia
was initially tied to the political system and ecclesiastical structure of the Romanov Empire.
One possible explanation for this anomaly is the political discourse of a “victorious revolution”,
according to which revolutionary turmoil had birthed a modern, progressive and secular
society. A reconstruction of debates on blasphemy, and of sacrilege too, do not fit this narrative.
The Soviet state used a rhetoric that would historically have been seen as blasphemous as
well as actions that would have been dubbed sacrilegious to push its agenda for modernization,
for the redistribution of material resources, the de-legitimization of imperial institutions
and the neutralization of political opponents. Violence was a steady companion here. It could
take the form of repression by removing relics and liturgical vessels that were venerated by
individual believers. It could be cleansing whereby the relic of a saint would be destroyed. Violence
also emerged in the physical exchanges between State officials and believers resisting the
unsealing of relics and usage of liturgical vessels outside of worship or mass as well as countering
the expulsion of church valuables. Finally, a form of symbolic violence could be found in
the way in which the faithful were forced to attend the display of relics in public exhibition hall
or in the photographic coverage of sacrilegious acts. This was a deliberate move to confront
and hurt the feelings of individual believers. This was a deliberate move to confront and hurt

value:
Digitization or the introduction of modern digital technologies in various spheres of life and
production underlies numerous changes in modern society. Digital technologies have enormous
social and economic potential. However, trust in digital technologies cannot be taken
for granted. Broad public acceptance of new technologies and business models can only be
achieved if governments and organizations design their digital transformation with ethical
values in mind. Therefore, today it seems important to analyze the ethical principles and
norms used for the development and implementation of digital technologies. The use of large
amounts of data, often personal or confidential, the growing reliance on algorithms to analyze
it to inform choice and decision making, the phasing out of human involvement or even control
over many automated processes raises pressing questions of fairness, responsibility and
respect for human rights. On the one hand, ignoring ethical issues can cause negative social
consequences; on the other hand, an overemphasis on the protection of individual or collective
rights can lead to the establishment of rigid rules and regulations that prevent the use of
the social value of digital innovations. The article focuses on some modern aspects of digital
ethics, namely data and data management, social media. The important role of confidentiality
in human relations is emphasized, which is considered not only as an individual, but also as
a public good. Attention is focused on the fact that confidentiality is closely related to other
fundamental values, such as autonomy and equality. It is concluded that in order for social
media to remain an open and empowering space for all people, it is necessary to maintain
a balance between freedom of speech and access to reliable information, as well as raising
people’s awareness of the ethical implications of the development of information and communication
technologies.

value:
The article analyzes the subject of interethnic relations in the interpretation of the Russian
citizen of Polish origin Marian Edmundovich Zdziechowski — linguist, theorist of Russian
literature, religious thinker, philosopher, publicist, and public figure. Researchers from many
Slavic countries turn to the study of the ideological heritage by Zdziechowski, since his sphere
of research interests, as he claimed it himself, was centred at “the study of Slavs”. While we
acknowledge the extensive work done in this field, we must admit that works by Zdziechowsk
published in Russian periodicals of the pre-revolutionary period are still insufficiently introduced
by modern scholars into their studies. That is the gap which this article seeks to fill. The
article presents and analyzes the Zdziechowski’s opinions on the current system of interethnic
relations in Imperial Russia and the cultural policy of that epoch regarding national minorities.
is the authors show that, in presenting his views, Zdziechowski relied on the authoritative
opinions on this issue of well-known Russian cultural figures of the time: Leo Tolstoy,
B. N. Chicherin, G. N. Trubetskoy, A. N. Pypin, and V. D. Spasovich. Although Zdziechowski
considered the problems of interethnic relations mainly at the example of the analysis of Russian
state policy towards Poles living in the country, his views are regarded as important for
understanding the nature of the imperial ethnic policy, in general. The editors of Moskovsky
Ezhenedelnik, and Novoe Zveno, where his texts were published, give their appraisals of the
activity of Zdziechowski. The evolution of the thinker’s views from the expressions of hope for
a beneficial solution of the Polish question to the emergence of a sense of disappointment and
pessimism is traced in the article. The coverage of this problem in the historical perspective
reveals the ambiguity of its interpretations and solutions in the past and might help to improve
the national policy in modern Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the anthropological paradigms of the mainstream approaches to AI development.
The article concludes that the principle of computability (quantifiability) first introduced
in the early stages of AI development (namely by A. Turing) is still paramount. The article
showcases the way this principle is rooted in what Heidegger described as treating humans
and the state of being itself as a consumable and ultimately destructible commodity. One tries
to quantify the state of being in order to consume it. As a consequence, humanity approaches
the creation of a “thinking machine” as an exercise in self-imitation. The article highlights
the deficiencies of creating AI via copying human patterns. The article also suggests a viable
alternative — a mediatory method, developed by culturally-historical psychology. The latter
perceives the thought process not as a brain activity but as a objective act, mediated through
sings and speech. This way of thinking leads to a new strategy of AI development — as a smart
helping hand for humans. This, however, requires an overhaul in medical, educational, governmental
and many other social practices. The author concludes that any AI development
is bound to start with a social engineering process, renovating the principles, governing day
to day lives. This is why the development of AI is not a purely technological task. Is affects a
deeper level of human existence, unfit to be interpreted in numerical terms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of this article is to analyze the intellectual prerequisites for the formation of the
discourse of the ethics of history in the modern philosophy of history and the ethics of science.
An analysis of the transformation of the ethics of responsibility, the value attitude to the
past in philosophy and the theory of history, as well as the axiological component of historical
didactics in the 20th century testifies to the growth of theoretical interest in ethical reflection
on past events. It is substantiated that the further development of the ethics of history as an
independent discipline requires a unified conceptual approach in understanding its subject,
theoretical and methodological foundations, and basic values. It is concluded that the ethics
of history as a branch of applied ethics is wider than the “ethos” of historical science. A position
is put forward on the consequential and socially oriented specifics of the ethics of history.
Its subject is the ethical problems of referring to the past in the historical culture of society.
The externalist interpretation of the ethics of history allows us to consider the latter as an
important factor in the circulation of ideas about the past in historical culture. An analysis of
the project of transcendental history by H. M. Baumgartner points to an important trend of
overcoming descriptivism by the ethics of history, a movement towards its normative definition,
and also emphasizes its interdisciplinary nature.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The term mathematical diagnostics was introduced by V. F.Demyanov in the early 2000s.
The simplest problem of mathematical diagnostics is to determine the relative position of
a certain point p and the convex hull C of a finite number of given points in n-dimensional
Euclidean space. Of interest is the answer to the following questions: does the point p belong
to the set C or not? If p does not belong to C, then what is the distance from p to C? In
general problem of mathematical diagnostics two convex hulls are considered. The question
is whether they have common points. If there are no common points, then it is required to
find the distance between these hulls. From an algorithmic point of view, the problems of
mathematical diagnostics are reduced to special problems of linear or quadratic programming,
for the solution of which there are finite methods. However, when implementing this
approach in the case of large data arrays, serious computational difficulties arise. Infinite
but easily implemented methods come to the rescue, which allow obtaining an approximate
solution with the required accuracy in a finite number of iterations. These methods include
the MDM method. It was developed by Mitchell, Demyanov and Malozemov in 1971 for
other purposes, but later found application in machine learning. From a modern point of
view, the original version of the MDM method can be used to solve the simplest problems of
mathematical diagnostics. This article gives a natural generalization of the MDM-method,
oriented towards solving general problems of mathematical diagnostics. The equivalence of
the general problem of mathematical diagnostics and the problem of linear separation of
two finite sets with the largest width of the margin is established.

The range of conflict markers in confrontational interaction is determined largely both by the
situation provoking the collision and by the conditions for the communication implementation.
The context of the conflict in this work was the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
conditions for the conflict implementation became the virtual environment; Internet comment.
The purpose of this reseach is to calculate the verbal and non-verbal markers of conflict speech behavior observed in Internet comments during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve
this goal the methods of complex communicative-pragmatic analysis, linguostylistic analysis
and contextual analysis were used. With the methods of statistical analysis the frequency of
the indicated verbal and non-verbal markers manifestation was determined and the preferred
speech means to implement authorial conflicting intention in the designated time period was
established. The verbal markers are some pejoratives, colloquies, jargon, occasional words,
zoo-metaphors, English-language intersperses, phraseological units, lexemes with negative
connotation which characterize human mental development, contain an expressive negative
assessment of health, level of education, ethnic, racial, national, social affiliation of the characterized
person, negative nomination of persons from the point of view of the profession,
origin, socially condemned activities, persons with non-actual behavior, dissonant views, ideas
and positions, language tools with the semantic meaning of threat, isolation, vaccination,
imperatives, parceled constructions, subjunctive, multiple questions, repetitions, incomplete
sentences, parallel constructions. Non-verbal markers include text in capital letters, strikethrough
text, erratives, Internet memes. These verbal and non-verbal markers ensure the implementation
of strategies and tactics of the conflict speech behavior of communicants of this
period; they are the key factors in constructing attitude among the audience.

value:
The development and improvement of communication strategies of the information society
through the formation of interactive network communication and the activation of interactive
interaction processes in the media sphere make the issue of studying the potential of interactive communication in the aspect of community formation especially relevant. The research
task of the article is to analyze the interactive components of media content and the communicative
practices of building a dialogic model of communication as a means of forming a community.
The study is based on the empirical material of the media community focused on the
audience of the most popular channels for broadcasting information in the media environment
— the Afisha Daily entertainment web platform and popular channels of the Russianspeaking
sector YouTube. The authors of the article used textological, comparative-typological
and historical-functional methods to analyze these platforms. This technique makes it possible
to carry out a productive study of the forms of increasing the interactivity of the audience
of the media community in the content and technical aspects. In the course of studying
intra-text and out-of-text forms of increasing interactivity within each aspect, a conclusion
was made about the main conditions for the successful functioning of the media community:
positioning one’s own values for the audience, building storytelling and personalized communication
and etc. As a result, interactive communication in a network environment acquires
obvious features in terms of a whole range of parameters that distinguish it from linear communication:
psychological dynamics, semiotic specialization, social distance and others. All
these parameters stimulate the creation of a common field of communication and form media
communities, which subsequently turn into real ones, which confirms the authors’ conviction
that the network environment is a favorable platform for the formation of a community.

an order no higher than the fifth, a one-to-one correspondence between the coefficients
and correlations of the process is established. For higher-order moving average processes, a
mixed autoregression and moving average model is preliminarily fitted to the initial data.
This option also has an independent meaning.

value:
The study is devoted to the political neologism “Putinversteher”. A comprehensive analysis of
the language material was carried out: in addition to content analysis, the work contains wordformation,
stylistic and semantic types of analysis of neologism based on media publications
from the end of 2013 to 2018. In order to double-check and complete the data, in addition
to the archival materials of the publications, corpora of news texts were used, primarily the
Leipzig Corpora Collection and the corpora of the digital dictionary of the German language
(Korpora im DWDS). The chronological framework of the study is determined by the historical
and political context and the maximum frequency of mentions of the word and its derivatives
in this time period. The selection of sources was carried out on the basis of the principles
of media relevance in the system of the mass press and the number of mentions of the word.
As part of the semantic analysis, the cognitive and pragmatic components of the meaning
of the lexeme “Putinversteher” were determined and the interpretative field of the concept
“understanding” was characterized. The study showed that the neologism “Putinversteher” is
found mainly in the artistic and journalistic and analytical genres of journalism. The nominative
function of the lexeme “Putinversteher” is complemented by significative, evaluative and
expressive functions, which allows us to consider neologism as a metaphorical frame that
conceptualizes a certain political vision. The use of neologism in a media text serves not only
to enhance the expressiveness of the text, but also is a tool for shaping public opinion, when
complex socio-political processes are “compressed” to a pre-established judgment, fixed in the
meaning of the newly formed word. An inevitable consequence of the widespread use of such
neologisms is the simplification of complex political phenomena, the creation and consolidation
of certain stereotypes (frames) in relation to socio-political actors and the establishment
of a legitimate ideology.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Scientific problems are posed: definitions of destructiveness in the aspect of correlation with
related concepts (manipulativeness, illegality, toxicity, etc.); selection and systematization of
criteria for destructive text. The solution of these problems is recognized as extremely important
in the context of increasing threats to the national security of society and the state. The conceptual apparatus and methodology of linguistic research of a destructive text are also
considered. The destructeme is interpreted as a key semantic unit of the text, which is determined
based on the intention of destruction inherent in it and the corresponding purpose
of influence, which find expression in its linguistic fabric. Linguistic parameterization of the
destructive is defined by the authors of the article as the identification of verbal and nonverbal
(in the case of its creolization) indicators of destructive meaning and their description (the
first stage), as well as linguistic processing for subsequent automatic recognition (the second
stage). The article examines the first stage of linguistic parameterization and offers a brief
description of the destructive resources used in mass media texts, which trace the strategy of
devaluing the achievements of the country and the historically significant personalities associated
with them. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that this type of destructeme,
being aimed at transforming the recipients’ worldview and destroying the objective perception
of reality, poses a threat to the national security of the state, contributing in a certain
context to the involvement of citizens in socially dangerous or potentially dangerous groups
and communities. The method of linguistic parameterization of destructive text is in demand
by modern applied linguistics and in the future should be specified in relation to the types of
destructive texts correlated with the types of destructeme.

direction of gravity. The equilibrium positions of the rod on a cylinder form the equilibria
manifold (for all these equilibria the rod touches the cylinder by its center of mass). The
effect of transgression (nontrivial evolution along the equilibria manifold) of the rod on the
cylinder is studied by the normal form method.

Any migration shows the full range of emotional assessments of people, which often leads to behavioral
destructions. Emotive linguomigratiology recognizes that emotions play a decisive role
in the adaptation of the host linguoculture. Migration transforms communication, post-Soviet
Russophony has a significant linguistic and cultural distance depending on the country of origin. The analysis of empirical material made it possible to distinguish between migration discourse
and migrant-oriented discourses reflecting the problems of migration and migrants. The analysis
of the emotive space of the post-Soviet migrant-oriented discourse is based on the theory
of emotions and linguomigrationology, taking into account the principle of representativeness.
This approach allows us to dissect the macrostructure of polycode migrant-oriented discourses
of Armenia, the EU, Kazakhstan and Russia, interpret these discourses in the context of emotivity
of different linguistic cultures, solving communicative tasks. The difference in the perception
of ethnopsycholinguistic norms in migration processes contributes to the appearance of linguistic
and cultural shock in all participants of migration, modeling the development of negative scenarios
in both the releasing and the receiving society. The relevance of the proposed work is due
to the growth of migration between the countries of Europe and Asia, which naturally increases
the interest in studying the ethno-sociocultural characteristics of these countries. Analyzing another
world through the prism of a foreign language means entering another culture with other
speech and behavioral norms, causing changes in the value matrix of a linguistic personality.
Gaps in the background knowledge of the host country become a source of emotively colored
vocabulary in the speech of migrants. The article is written on the material of open sources of
mass media. The article is intended for specialists in the field of migration, political science, linguistics,
intercultural communication, history, psychology, sociology, journalism.

value:
The author explores the texts of Soviet periodicals for children and sets the task to reveal how
science is represented in relation to state policy, as well as defining the semiotic resources that
convey grown-ups’ social practices to children’s audience. Methodologically, the study builds on
content analysis and discourse analysis of the publications drawn from the magazines “Pioneer”
and “Kostyor”. It has been found that publications on science occupied an important place in the
magazines, sections on science were regular, and most of them had exact and natural sciences
as their subject. Specific features of representations have been discovered, including references
to experts’ opinions, channeling of agonality, emotions and ideologies. The validity of scientific
information provided was guaranteed by the expert status of the author or commentator:
their professionalism and public recognition. The texts contained argumentation tactics that
were typical of academic communication, and thus, grown-ups’ social practices were transferred
to children’s magazines. The author claims that the rational sphere of science was discursively
constructed as a source of emotional experience, specifically — the feeling of wonder. The factual
component was complemented by the emotional modus and actualized through the lexical
markers of wonder, evaluative elements and stylistic devices. The journals were used as an
instrument of dialogue between the state and a younger generation, and the representations of
scientific social practices contained markers of ideology. The author claims that convergence of
scientific, media and political discourses is taking place in the process of representation of scientific
practices. The resulting representations build axiological attitudes of a younger generation,
maintain ideological guidelines, and determine a scientific and ideological worldview.

The article is devoted to identifying a science media image speech representation’ features in the
official online news publication of the Chelyabinsk region, covering the events of the industrial
Russian region. The news media texts of the regional news portal 1obl.ru served as the object
of the study, selected by systematic sampling, relevant to the keyword “science”. The specific
formation of science media image is analyzed by frequency and infrequent content analysis.
The analysis’ unit is the frequent lexemes of the text corpus relevant to the topic of science.
To implement frequency content analysis, automatic semantic processing is used, which allows
to identify discursive features, nuclear and peripheral semantic constructions of the concept,
transmitting frequent patterns of behavior and cultural and value orientations. The Miratext
automatic semantic analysis program is used as a toolkit. Infrequent content analysis provides
for the definition of linguistic and cognitive mechanisms by which the media image of science is
presented, emotional and value characteristics, as a result of which significant semantic components
included in the structure of the concept “science” are determined and, moreover, checks
the accuracy of entering into the semantic structures of the concept, eliminates statistical errors
of automatic semantic analysis. The analysis of the material suggests that the media coverage of
the region’s scientific potential, the emotional background and the connotations should be taken
into account. This stimulates the involvement, interest and increases the literacy of the regional
reader in the development of regional science, as well as raises the prestige of the region. The
explanatory function of media publications contributes to the adoption of state priorities in the
field of science and the consolidation of value orientations in the linguistic consciousness of the
reader. The conclusions present the identified features of the South Ural’ science media image.

dc.description.abstract

value:
One of the ways of intellectualization of modern media is a language game, the manifestation
of which can be attributed to the transformation of the form and meaning of phraseological
units. The purpose of this article is to study the functioning of transformed phraseological units in modern press. The research is carried out on the material of phraseological units that
have undergone structural and semantic transformations. The material was extracted from the
modern press. The research is based on the use of introspective, interpretive and contextual
methods of analysis, as well as the reception of quantitative processing of the material. The
analysis has shown that in the modern press, the main methods of phraseological transformation
are literalization, double actualization and contamination of meanings, replacement,
addition or elimination of a component. Among them, the most common is double actualization.
Through this technique, the journalist places the phraseologies in the context in
which the direct and metaphorical meaning of its components are realized simultaneously.
The journalist’s tendency to transform phraseological units to solve stylistic problems is due
to his creative thinking and is explained by the desire for a language game with the addressee.
As a rule, this phenomenon is observed in analytical articles. Creatively transformed phraseological
units are most often found in the heading complex as a strong position of the text. The
stylistic affiliation of transformed phraseological units is determined by the characteristics of
the press. In newspapers published for a mass audience, phraseological units that are characteristic
of colloquial speech and vernacular are often used. In publications for the intellectual
addressee, phraseological units peculiar to book speech are regularly found. The transformation
of stable expressions is an active, but still insufficiently studied, speech phenomenon.

The article analyzes the formation of the official image of the Soviet authority from its establishment at
the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies until the end of the 1920s when
the NEP was basically over. The author grounds the study on the fact that the supreme authority directly controlled
the completion of this task, but its composition and subordination during the studied period changed significantly
due to the rise of emergency state bodies and the governing structures of the party to the highest echelon of
power, as well as gradual occupation by Communist party’s bodies of dominant positions over the Soviet ones.
The article shows what factors influenced the content and structure of the image of authority and how it changed.
The author believes that three key factors shaped the image of Soviet authority the most: the theory of Marxism,
mainly the doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat; the views of the Bolshevik political elite, primarily the
leader of the Bolsheviks, V. I. Lenin and in the late 1920s, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the
AUCP(b), I. V. Stalin; the objective international and domestic military-political and socio-economic situation in
which Soviet Russia found itself. During the above period, the role of the first factor gradually decreased; the
views of V. I. Lenin began to be praised in some ritual manner. In the second half of the 1920s, the pragmatic views
of the Bolshevik elite became decisively important, which at first were diverse, but by the end of the decade were
completely determined by I. V. Stalin, who identified himself as the successor of V. I. Lenin and the new leader of
the party and the whole country. The author develops an idea that, due to the above reasons, the image of the
Soviet authority was not stable.

In 1936–1939, the Spanish Civil War was a hot topic used for military-patriotic upbringing and political
socialization of children. This article shows has the events in Spain were portrayed in periodicals for preschoolers and primary schoolchildren, including texts and visualizations. While the official perspective of the Spanish
events in the USSR was dictated by the Party, children’s optics was tuned using its own means and methods,
customized to the psychology of this age group. The article discloses the goals of exploiting this topic in the Soviet
child-targeting discourse, reveals the most common plotlines, pinpoints the specific emotion-inciting tricks.
In propaganda work with children, the extreme polarization of good and evil was used, embodied in two political
forces — fascists and republicans. The theme was adapted for children through the extensive use of peer images,
central among which were child heroes and child martyrs. The image of the Spanish child-hero corresponded to
the Soviet concept of a child walking in the forefront of society. At the same time, attention was focused on the difficulties
experienced by the children of Spain, who experienced a “threat to childhood”, which fed the ideologeme
of “happy Soviet childhood”, the exclusivity of Soviet children. The participation of powerful artistic forces in the
information campaign resulted in the construction of a sublimely romantic image of Spain and the Spaniards with
an aura of inflexibility and fortitude, corresponding to the ideal of a Soviet person. There was a feeling of connection
between the Soviet and Spanish loci of heroism and people of heroic professions, among which pilots and
border guards came to the fore. The figures selected to create the pantheon of Civil War heroes and the ways to
fit the images of Franco and Stalin into the context are demonstrated.

The article reflects the process of influence of the German special services on the formation of numerous
Ukrainian nationalist organizations. With the coming to power of Hitler, the ties of the OUN with the fascists
are strengthening, while the leaders of the Ukrainian nationalists widely advertise not only their practical
cooperation with fascism, but also their spiritual kinship with it. The Berlin center of the OUN becomes the body
coordinating its work against the USSR. The establishment of Soviet power in Western Ukraine led to the defeat
of the OUN, the leaders and most active members of nationalist organizations were forced to flee to the territory
occupied by Germany, where the Germans created the most privileged position for them. The Germans began
to use Ukrainian nationalists in conducting political and administrative events in occupied Poland. At the same
time, measures are being taken to train military personnel from among the Ukrainian nationalists, espionage-terrorist
and sabotage-insurgent activities are being intensified in case of intervention by the USSR. With the direct
participation and assistance of the German command, Ukrainian nationalist-minded youth are trained in various
military schools, training centers of the Abwehr. Under the patronage of Germany, the Ukrainian Uniate Greek
Catholic Church operates in the General Government, which was used as a tribune through which nationalism
was propagandized. Her plans included the unification of churches and the expansion of her influence not only in
Ukraine, but also in the long term in the whole of Russia. A great influence on the Ukrainian population was exerted
by various Ukrainian institutions and schools, where the Ukrainian nationalist ideology was formed.

The article analyses the history of the amnesty granted by the Bolsheviks in 1921–1923 to nine Kolchak
ministers led by P. I. Preobrazhensky, G. A. Krasnov, A. A. Gratsianov and N. Ya. Novombergsky, prominent figures of the anti-Bolshevik governments, convicted by the Extraordinary Siberian Revolutionary Tribunal at the open
trial in Omsk on 20–30 May, 1920. Based on a wide range of archival sources, the authors have reconstructed the
entire pardon process, from the improvements in conditions of detention to the official decision of the VTsIK. Amnesty
is considered as a political tool of the Soviet power, which allowed the communist leadership of the country
to effectively correct the cruel punitive policy, play the card of restoration of social justice, and win the victims over
to its side. It is concluded that the pardon of the Kolchak ministers was an individual but significant component of
the process of restoring civil peace in Russia at the end of the internal military-political confrontation. What made
this amnesty unusual among the many similar acts announced by the Bolsheviks in 1922–1923 was that not the
rank-and-file members of the anti-Soviet struggle were pardoned, but its immediate leaders. The main reason for
the rehumanization of former enemies were their personal ties and contacts in the upper echelon of the Soviet
leadership in Siberia, which were formed primarily in the course of joint activities. The main criterion for applying
the amnesty was the high quality work of the Kolchak ministers in the economic departments of the Siberian
Revolutionary Committee under the conditions of severe labor shortage.
