ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF ADYGHE SOCIETY

This article is devoted to one of the poly-ethnic regions of Eurasia, in particular, the Western Caucasus. It is emphasized that the factor of ethnic origin is of great importance for the Caucasian peoples, as it largely determines the way of life and mores of society. It is noted that the Adygs, once one of the numerous ethnic groups of the Western Caucasus, were forced to leave their native places and move to the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the XIX century. Currently, the Adygs live in Russia and abroad, and retain their identity.

Key words: Adygi, Caucasus, Caucasian war, Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire, ethnos.

FORMATION OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN EMERGENCY COMMISSION AND ITS EMERGENCY BODIES IN THE MIDDLE VOLGA REGION IN 1917-1919

This article is devoted to the analysis of the formation process of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission and its emergency bodies on the territory of the Middle Volga region in 1917-1919. The author considered the following points in the work: first, the evolution of the views of the leaders of Bolshevism on the need to form security agencies; secondly, the process of creating a Cheka to combat counterrevolution, sabotage and crimes by positions and regional structures. and thirdly, the regional peculiarities of the exclusion of the county emergency commissions. As a result of the work, it was revealed that, despite the heterogeneous process of the formation of emergency bodies, they quickly took a firm place in the system of state bodies and began their main task – the fight against counter-revolution, speculation, and malfeasance.

Key words: Dzerzhinsky, Military Revolutionary Committee, all-russian extraordinary commission, emergency commissions, the Middle Volga region.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE DATE OF THE APPEARANCE OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF RUSSIAN PATHFINDERS

The National Organization of Russian Pathfinders (NORR) was a prominent phenomenon of Russian emigration in the 30s of the XX century. Its patrons were grand dukes and famous officers of the White armies, numerous newspapers and magazines enthusiastically wrote about the Pathfinders, parents were happy to give their children to an organization where they would be raised in the native Russian spirit. But after the World War II, the movement declined and was almost forgotten. In recent years, researchers have rediscovered this organization, but there are still numerous gaps and controversial points. One of the issues on which different information can be found in the scientific literature is the question of the date of the organization of Pathfinders. The proposed article will attempt to understand the origins of this discussion and provide a definitive answer. The research focuses on the scientific literature, which deals with the question of the origin of NORR. As auxiliary sources, modern publications of this organization, published both by Pathfinders and simply mentioning their activities, and archival materials are used. Based on a comparison of scientific literature and sources, the paper concludes that the Pathfinders from the moment of their appearance mythologized their history, which subsequently interfered with the work of researchers. Also adding to the confusion was the use of the term "Pathfinder" ("razvedchik"), which was simultaneously used for self-designation by Russian Scouts and NORR. These two factors explain the existence of different versions about the time of the appearance of this organization.

Key words: NORR, scouting, Russian emigration, P.N. Bogdanovich, national education.

SOCIAL STEREOTYPES ABOUT COSSACKS IN SOVIET FILMS «OVER KUBAN», «DAURIA» AND «FATHER'S HOUSE»

This article is devoted to the study of historical and social stereotypes about the Russian Cossacks. In the course of the study, we analyze the nature and structure of the social stereotype, as well as directly stereotypes about the Cossacks that were entrenched in the Soviet consciousness. Taking Soviet cinematography as a basis, we strive to show stereotypes about the Cossacks, created with the help of vivid images necessary for a visual representation of the Cossack in the historical and sociological sense. The first wave of films on the Cossack theme, released in the middle of the 20th century, met with misunderstanding. The image of the Cossack in the films presented was conveyed in its natural form. A lot of contradictions did not allow transferring the inherent image to a wide segment of the population. We see that already the second wave of films of the 1970-1980s. aroused the interest of the Soviet audience. Each film contained many social stereotypes about Cossack history and culture. Nevertheless, the Communist Party, its most prominent representatives, journalists who were part of the party, positively assessed all films on the Cossack theme in this period. There were no art critics who could find flaws in these films. Moreover, the material of some films, in particular, the film «Dauria», formed the basis of some textbooks on «History» and were even indicated in the list of recommended literature. What is interesting here is, first of all, why did stereotypes have such an effect? How exactly did social stereotypes contribute to the growth of interest in the Cossacks and Cossack culture?

Key words: social stereotype, historical reality, cultural universals, idealization, actor, motion picture, mass media.

DYNAMICS OF THE CRIME RATE IN THE SIMBIRSK PROVINCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURY

This article examines the regional dynamics of the crime rate in the post-reform period. The author aims to analyze the quantitative indicators of preliminary investigations and thereby identify the state of major criminal crime in the territory of the Simbirsk province. The tasks include statistical processing of quantitative data, building a model of the general regional dynamics of crime, highlighting the features of the growth and decline of illegal manifestations in the counties and large cities of the region, comparing the provincial dynamics of crime with the all-Russian one. To solve the tasks set, the researcher uses the following methods: problem-chronological, historical-comparative, historical-genetic and statistical.

Based on the analysis of archival statistical materials, as well as the involvement of scientific works of the largest specialists, it was found that the movement of the crime rate in the region had a pronounced cyclical character and generally correlated with the general imperial trend. It is determined that the phases of growth and decline depend on the current political course. An attempt is made to prove the presence in the statistical report for 1867 of information on minor illegal acts. In conclusion, the researcher summarizes the results and draws the attention of the scientific community to the fact that this problem is poorly studied and requires further research.

Key words: province, the dynamics of crime, major crime, petty crime, illegal act, a consequence of the court.

THE COLLECTIVE SECURITY SYSTEM IN EUROPE IN THE 1930S: REASONS FOR THE CREATION

The foreign policy of the Soviet Union in the 20-30s of XX century was characterized by variability and dualism, which was manifested in support of revolutionary and workers ' movements on the one hand and the desire to establish strong economic and political ties on the other. As the authority of the Soviet government, and with it the Soviet Union, grew and strengthened, the foreign policy course changed, which in the 30s can be described as the desire to maintain international stability and peace. One of the manifestations of this course can be considered a strategy for creating a regional system of collective security in Europe and Asia, which could guarantee calm on the external borders of the USSR at a time when the country is actively engaged in remaking the internal order. This article describes the main prerequisites and reasons that contribute to the change of the USSR's foreign policy strategy in the European direction in the early 30s and the transition to the course of building a system of collective security.

Key words: Soviet Union, foreign policy, the interwar period; the system of collective security, the causes of the Second World war.

APPROACHES TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF «SUPRANATIONALITY»

The term «supranationality» was widely used in the 1950s in the context of the birth and development of European integration. The concept was used in a number of regulations of European organizations, but over time its use in official documents was discontinued. At the moment, «supranationality» is not fixed by law and is used in political and legal discourses as a doctrinal concept. In the scientific community, there is no universally recognized and comprehensive definition of the phenomenon of supranationality, which leads to the emergence of different approaches to its understanding. In this article, «supranationalism» is considered through the prism of neofunctionalism and rational institutionalism.

Key words: supranationality, supranational institutions, integration, neofunctionalism, rational institutionalism.

THE IDEAS OF UNIVERSITY: THE ORIGINS OF MICHAEL OAKESHOTT'S CONCEPT OF LIBERAL EDUCATION

The article examines the ideological foundations of the theoretical model of the university in the political philosophy of the English thinker Michael Oakeshott (1901-1990). The author notes the key ways of developing the discussion around the definition of the aims and objectives of the university corporation. As a result of the analysis of original works of K. Jaspers, T. Fuller, J. Newman, R. Hutchins, K. Mannheim, T. Veblen, and W.von Humboldt, the author traces the points of contact of the philosopher in the process of Oakeshott's creation of the author's concept of an ideal university. According to Oakeshott's views, the university is the bulwark of liberal education through which true liberalism is able to defend itself against external threats. According to the philosopher, modern liberal education dates back to the 12th century, when Western European scholars rediscovered their ancient heritage. The historical approach allows us to construct an intellectual matrix within which the influence of ancient thought and Christian tradition on the formation of Michael Oakeshott's ideas about education is traced. In order to determine the origins of the educational model of the philosopher, the author examines the evolution of the ideas of the university in the political and philosophical thought of its predecessors.

Key words: Michael Oakeshott, the idea of the university, liberal education, civil education, modern political theory, higher education organization theory.

IDENTITY IN ITS NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DIMENSIONS

Being based on critical analysis of discussions concerning the role of regional identity the authors investigates incorporation of national/communal identity into the forging process of civic nation. National identity, communal identity, special politicized communal identity and plural identity – all these different concepts help us to understand and to pose the idea of the supremacy of regional identity as the most important political and ideological resource which determines the success of strategy aimed to forge all-Russian civic nation.

The authors came to the conclusion that penetrability of regional interests into national policy strengthens the integrity of nation. They support the idea that despite of fragmentations and contradictions of interests and local identification the regional identity represent itself as a dynamic process, which develops institutionally under the influence of political power of the state.

Key words: national identity, communal identity, regional identity, national policy, nation, ethnicity.

RUSSIA'S PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES IN THE SETTLEMENT OF REGIONAL CONFLICTS IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE

In 2020, the problem of resolving regional conflicts in the post-Soviet space has again become particularly relevant. This article analyzes the main causes of conflicts in this region, their common features and characteristics. Ethnic conflicts in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdniestria and Nagorno-Karabakh were and still are the most acute at the present stage. For quite a long time, their peculiarity was the exit from the stage of direct armed confrontation, but without (not yet received) a political settlement, acquiring the status of"frozen conflicts". Peacekeeping operations conducted by the Russian Federation play an important role in their settlement. The article discusses the peculiarities of their implementation, taking into account the national security of Russia, as regional conflicts near its borders pose a real threat to national interests.

Key words: post-Soviet space, regional conflicts, "frozen conflicts", peacemaking, peacekeeping forces, security zones, national interests, threats to Russia's national security.

TECHNOLOGICAL TERRORISM: NEW THREATS

In the era of rapid expansion of the possibilities of man-made civilization, both new opportunities and new risks appear for the modern world. The rapid development of unmanned technologies, three-dimensional printing, artificial intelligence and robotics means that more than ever in the past, ordinary people can gain access to weapons of mass violence previously monopolized by the state. In these conditions, the desire of modern society to optimize the security sphere as effectively as possible becomes especially relevant. The dilemma of the risks and opportunities of the technosphere calls for the mobilization of resources for international cooperation in the development of a global strategy to combat international terrorism.

Key words: technological terrorism, technocentrism, technosphere, the drone artificial intelligence.

TURKEY-EUROPEAN UNION RELATIONS (1992-2013): PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

For many years, the issue of Turkey's membership in the European Union was considered a dead end for objective and subjective reasons. Discussions on Turkey's EU membership, which began with review meetings in 2005, have slowed significantly due to various political obstacles and reached a point of stagnation. In addition, the events in Gazi Park against the incumbent government of Turkey in 2013, the coup attempts on December 17-25 and the EU reaction to the military coup attempt on July 15, and in some cases open support, signaled a transition from stagnation to crisis.

The article uses methods of comparative analysis, content and event analysis to analyze event processes and answer questions.

The article assesses the problems in Turkey-EU relations in 1992-2013, the reasons for their occurrence, as well as the possible prospects for Turkey's membership.

The problematic aspects of relations between Turkey and the EU are identified and grouped, possible prospects are assessed.

METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF RESEARCHING BILATERAL INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

While researching bilateral international relations, a wide range of methods and techniques are used. Traditionally, social sciences use methods of comparison, analogy, content analysis, case study, classification and other general scientific methods. It is very important to find research methods that allow to determine and characterize the uniqueness of the country, its competitive advantages. To increase the objectivity of conclusions obtained, it is desirable to use more widely quantitative research methods, the range of which is constantly expanding. Taking into account the politicization of many indices and ratings developed in the West, it is advisable to use domestic methodological developments in the field of social sciences. When predicting the development of international relations, it seems promising to use the foresight method.
