FOLKLORE AS A MEANS OF ETHNIC EDUCATION OF NANAITS OF KHABAROVSK TERRITORY

The regional public organization “Association of Indigenous Minorities of the North” of Khabarovsk considers the problem of preserving and developing national culture as an integral part of ethnocultural education. Its main activities are the protection of the rights and interests of indigenous peoples, the formation of national identity. The state financially supports the activities of national centers and cultural events.

The revival and preservation of the national tradition is shaped by an appeal to values, including through folk pedagogy. The interdistrict regional competition "The best teacher of the native language" is organized with significant motivation and the opportunity to exchange experience for teachers. They hold a regional Olympiad on the knowledge of the native language, national culture among students.

With the help of folk pedagogy, through Nanai fairy tales, legends, myths, moral consciousness was formed, much attention was paid to family traditions. According to our observations, the main place for studying the knowledge of Nanai culture is a kindergarten, a school where the native language is taught by qualified teachers. Oral folk art occupies one of the key places in the life of the Nanai people. From early childhood, their stories were introduced to the traditional patriarchal family way of life, certain rules of behavior, and everyday labor practices. Of greatest interest for our research were works that represent folklore material published in collections by A. Chadaeva, K. M. Beldy, G. A. Beldy, V. A. Avrorina, E. D. Samar, L. E. Fetisova, Kile Nikolai Batunovich systematized the folklore material of the indigenous small people of the Amur.

CHANGES IN THE RELIGIOUS POLICY OF THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT IN 1918-1932: ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ORTHODOX BROTHERHOODS OF PETROGRAD-LENINGRAD

The article is devoted to the analysis of changes in the religious policy of the Soviet government in the 1920s on the example of the post-revolutionary Orthodox brotherhoods of Petrograd-Leningrad.

An appeal to the history of the Orthodox brotherhoods of Petrograd allows us to consider how successful the efforts of believers aimed at unity and survival in the conditions of atheistic state policy. It is important to study the experience of interaction of Orthodox brotherhoods with the Soviet power, which gradually tightened its repressive policy towards them. In order to achieve these goals, a partial reconstruction of the evolution of state policy in relation to religious public associations was carried out: thanks to the analysis of the situation, based on current research, the specifics of the use of such an instrument as the "border of the legitimate" were considered. With the help of this tool, the Soviet government could establish permissible, legal frameworks for each particular denomination and determine which aspects of religious life had no place in the Soviet Union.

Key words: Orthodox brotherhoods, post-revolutionary Orthodox brotherhoods, religious associations, Petrograd, Leningrad, Alexander Nevsky brotherhood, Spassky brotherhood, the cause of Petrograd brotherhoods, religious policy.

ON THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGY IN THE FORMATION OF THE RED ARMY

Based on the analysis and understanding of archival sources, memoirs, correspondence of contemporaries of the events of the early twentieth century, the author shows the place and role of ideology in the formation of the Red Army. It is concluded that in the mess of the civil war, the army that was most confident in the rightness of its actions – the Red Army – survived and took shape.

Created from qualitatively diverse detachments, deprived of a single command, it became a rather strong ideological factor (indeed, many fought in it, being exclusively convinced of the rightness of Bolshevik ideas).

MODERN RUSSIAN WORLD IN THE USA (METHODOLOGY FOR STUDYING IDENTITY)

The article examines various methodological approaches to studying the transformation of sociocultural and ethnocultural identity of post-Soviet immigrants in the modern United States. Several of the most famous methodological schools (both foreign and domestic) are listed, which have developed the most famous theories in the scientific world, allowing one to get an idea of the “marginal person” (Robert Park, Chicago School), the problems of immigrants who find themselves in an “intermediate state” and experiencing the “restlessness” complex (A. von Gennep), the possibilities of studying the everyday life of immigrants using a microhistorical approach (Levi), “home anthropology” (Anderson), etc. D. Berry's theory of acculturation, based on several models of adaptation to a foreign cultural environment (assimilation, biculturalism and marginalization), was opposed in the late 1980s by a constructivist theory emphasizing the role of immigrants' independent efforts to form their identity. The article also touches on various versions of the theory of globalization and glocalization, emphasizing the features of the ethnocultural identity of migrants in the modern world.

ASSESSMENT OF DAGESTAN YOUTH POLITICAL ACTIVITY OF THE REPRESENTATIVE AND LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF DAGESTAN

As part of the planned research work in September 2023, a mass sociological survey was conducted among students of the Republic of Dagestan, elementary and senior students, 800 people were interviewed. Several options were allowed for the questions asked in the questionnaire. The purpose of the article is to study the public opinion of Dagestan youth on the topic of political activity of the representative and legislative authorities of the Republic of Dagestan. The research method was a mass sociological survey of Dagestan youth. As part of the study, results were obtained regarding awareness of the location of one's polling station, awareness of the upcoming elections, pre-election campaign work, acquaintance with the election program of political forces, acquaintance with deputies of the legislative body of the Republic of Dagestan, acquaintance with and voting for amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, independent adoption choice during the voting process. To summarize, we can say that Dagestan youth have a weak level of electoral awareness, indifference and the cognitive element of political culture. These low indicators of elements of the political culture of youth are directly related to the low level of communication between political forces and youth, the low level of behavioral activity of political forces in the form of intensity of campaigning and information work in order to increase the electoral activity of the population. All this taken together has a negative impact on voter turnout and the final election result.

Key words: elections, deputies, campaigning, electorate, absenteeism, indifference, political culture.

THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS A FACTOR OF UNIFICATION OF PEOPLES IN THE EURASIAN SPACE

The role of the Russian language as one of the factors in the unification of the peoples of the Eurasian space is considered. One of the fundamental components in this process is the ethnodemographic aspect, since in a number of republics the predominant ethnic group in the national composition are Russians. In this context, the language of the majority of the population is dominant. In those regions with a multiethnic and ethno-linguistic composition, Russian acts as the language of interethnic communication. Russian Russian is a Russian language. It has been established that according to the census data over the past 30 years, despite the reduction in the Russian population in a number of republics, the introduction of non-Russian peoples to the Russian language is gaining a large-scale character, because from year to year there is a tendency of growth of those who speak Russian. Russian Russian as a native language has a tendency to decrease in favor of the recognition of the Russian language as such, despite the measures taken to revive national languages During the ethnosociological survey, it was found that respondents of non-Russian nationality who use the Russian language in everyday life are more inclined to consider themselves Russians than to identify with regional identity.

In this article, based on the sociological method in the context of comparative discourse of the ethnodemographic and ethnolanguage situation in a number of republics of the Eurasian space of the country, an attempt is made to reveal the role of the Russian language as an instrument of soft power in uniting the peoples of the Russian Federation.

Key words: Russian language, Eurasian space, identity, soft power, ethnodemographic aspect, native language.

THE ROLE OF THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION IN ENSURING REGIONAL SECURITY AMID THE FORMATION OF A NEW WORLD ORDER

The article examines the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in ensuring regional security amid the formation of a new world order. Against the background of unprecedented changes in international relations and world politics, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the organization will not be able to stay away from what is happening in the world. On the one hand, the geopolitical situation in the immediate vicinity of the SCO's area of responsibility is escalating, on the other hand, there is a desire by some Western countries to undermine the unity of the organization. In these difficult conditions, strengthening regional security and stability in the SCO space is of particular importance. At the same time, the key trend is the role of the SCO as a new center of power, where interaction between its participants takes place not on the basis of some externally imposed rules, but on the basis of generally recognized principles of international law. The States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization advocate the formation of a multipolar world order, equal and indivisible security, which makes the organization very attractive to many countries. In this regard, the noticeable expansion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which currently includes a total of 26 countries – full members, dialogue partners, and observers, is very indicative. The totality of these trends favor the SCO as one of the attractive centers of power in the emerging new world order, which is able to contribute to ensuring regional security and stability.

Key words: Shanghai Cooperation Organization, SCO world order, regional security, center of power.

EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION (EAEU) AS A REGIONAL INTEGRATION ORGANIZATION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS

Since its official establishment in 2015, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has traveled an eight-year path of development. However, if we analyze the prehistory of its emergence, we can see that the idea of the Eurasian Union was put forward thirty years ago by N.A. Nazarbayev. Over these years, the EAEU has achieved some success in creating a customs union, uniting the markets for energy, financial and transport services, developing common regulatory and technical standards, creating working groups on integration cooperation and import substitution in the industrial sector, free movement of labor and other types of functional interactions in low-political areas. However, the level of political "spillovers" remains low, and the supranational system is preserved only at the institutional level, and in practice strategic decisions are still made by top-level politicians. The development of the EAEU is constrained by the nationalistic tendencies of the member states, the lack of collective identity and the play of big powers in the region. Thus, the future development of the EAEU remains a challenge.

Key words: Eurasian Economic Union, neofunctionalism, intergovernmentalism, history of development.

THE MAIN CONFLICTS OF THE CUBAN POLITICAL MODEL AT THE PRESENT STAGE

Cuba built its political regime and economic concept on socialist/communist ideas, and by the end of the twentieth century began to carry out serious reforms in these areas. The revolutions she experienced in the middle of the century, the transition to the socialist system and the subsequent reverse waves became turning points in her history. The increased scientific interest in the peculiarities of the development of Cuba's political system is conditioned by the preservation of the "socialist" model despite numerous objective obstacles, bypassing the paths of "capitalist restoration" chosen by the states of the former USSR and Eastern Europe, semi-capitalist development (Vietnam, China), as well as dictatorship (North Korea). The authors identify the main conflicts of the Cuban political model at the present stage.

PECULIARITIES OF POLITICAL STUDIES IN THE ARAB COUNTRIES

The article analyzes the process of formation and development of socio-political thought and political studies in the countries of the Arab East. For centuries political science in the Arab countries was closely connected with the basic principles of the Muslim religion, which established the fundamental basis of the Arab-Muslim statehood. Radical changes occurred in the IX-X centuries, when Arab theologians and theorists began to borrow philosophical concepts of ancient Greek thinkers, thus forming the doctrine of Eastern Aristotelianism. Today, research institutions, think tanks, faculties and other organizations dedicated to the study of political science are being actively established in the Arab world.

JAPAN AND EU: COOPERATION IN THE SECURITY FIELD

The aim of the present article is to analyze the ties between Japan and the European Union in the field of security at the present stage. This research is highly relevant because studying the interactions between Tokyo and Brussels will contribute to understanding the new international security architecture.

The number of researches dealing with the issue of cooperation in the field of security between Japan and the European Union has remained low up to the present day. The reason for this is that the said cooperation is a new phenomenon caused by the complicated geopolitical situation and the launch of strategic partnership between Tokyo and Brussels. Most of these researches are focused on the current state of affairs while disregarding the processes that lead to its formation. Thus, the novelty of the approach used by the author of the present article is the demonstration of the historic road travelled by Japan and the European Union to achieve the current level of cooperation in the sphere of security.

This article discusses the problem of non-ecological production in Russia and the need to balance between the development of domestic production and the improvement of the environmental situation. The authors use the prism of institutional theory to analyze the problem and point to the opportunistic behavior of entrepreneurs associated with the public benefits of natural resources and the quality of the ecological environment. To solve the problem, an integrated approach is needed, including the creation of incentives for the transition to environmentally friendly materials and production methods, as well as support for the development of a culture of eco-friendly consumption.

Key words: Small and medium-sized businesses, ecology, institutional economics, opportunistic behavior, the problem of a stowaway, sustainable development, eco-friendly production.
