POLICY OF SOVIET POWER ON ORGANIZATION OF LEISURE OF CITIZENS IN 1950-1960 (ON THE MATERIALS OF CENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN)
This article examines the Soviet policy in the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century on the organization of leisure activities for the citizens in Central Kazakhstan. The systematic approach as the method of scientific analysis towards the culture research is applied in the paper. That allows to analyze cultural and leisure activities as an integral component of the Soviet government policy as well as a specific social system consisting of individual elements.
The basis of this cultural research is the policy of the Soviet authorities in Central Kazakhstan, in particular, in the Karaganda region.
In order to study public opinion on the work of various leisure centers a number of respondents were interviewed, using the formalized interview-based method.
When writing this work, special attention was paid to the study of such aspects of leisure as movies, theaters, clubs, television and radio.
Key words: politics, Soviet power, Central Kazakhstan, Karaganda region, leisure, culture.

NATIONAL PROJECT OF P.I. PESTEL
In the article analyzed the famous constitution project ‘Russian Justice’ (Russkaya Pravda) by Pavel Pestel’. The main attention is paid to Pestel's ideas on changes in the national policy of the Russian Empire. As a result of the research of historiography on this topic and the primary source itself, it is concluded that ‘Russian Justice’ was the first Russian nationalist project of reconstruction of Russia. Another conclusion is that this project was a typical Western nationalist project of the early nineteenth century and that ‘Russian Justice’ had roots in the French Revolution.
Key words: Russian nationalism, modernism, ethnosymbolism, P.I. Pestel, imperial nationalism, civil nationalism.

THE REVOLUTIONARY PROCESS IN RUSSIA IN THE VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MOSCOW AND ST. PETERSBURG RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETIES OF THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY
The beginning of the XX century in the intellectual history of Russia was marked by an active creative search, development and implementation of various projects aimed at socio-cultural, socio-political, spiritual and moral transformation of Russian society, the development of public, circle associations, in the forefront of which were representatives of various groups of Russian intellectuals.
Such terms as "silver age", "Russian cultural Renaissance", "spiritual revival"are actively used to characterize the development of national culture of the late XIX – early XX century. Without going into cultural discussions about the semantic shades of these terms, the author believes that they reflect the fundamental process in the intellectual life of Russia at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries – the desire of part of Russian society and, above all, the domestic intelligentsia to revise worldview ideas, the search for new models of the historical path of Russia.
In addition, at the beginning of the XX century in Russia religious feeling rapidly went beyond the Church and confessional limits. The reasons for this process should be considered, in our opinion, in two aspects: in the specific historical problems of Church-state and intra-Church relations, in the global modernization processes of neochristianism.
This work is devoted to understanding the influence of the revolutionary process in Russia in 1905-1917 on the formation and development of the Moscow and St. Petersburg religious and philosophical intelligentsia as a socio-cultural phenomenon of intellectual history of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries.
The subject of the study is the Moscow and St. Petersburg religious and philosophical intelligentsia as a phenomenon of intellectual history of the early XX century. Object of research: socio-political and socio-religious thought of the early XX century. Representatives of the religious and philosophical intelligentsia are considered as the exponents of the idealistic direction of the Russian thought of the beginning of the XX century.
Key words: Moscow religious and philosophical society of memory of Vladimir Solovyyov, St. Petersburg religious and philosophical society, religious and philosophical, intelligentsia, Christian modernism, neochristianity, religious updating, Christian socialism, demokhristianstvo.

SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF TRANSFORMATIONS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE KHABAROVSK TERRITORY IN EARLY THE 90s OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
The article is devoted to social problems in agricultural production in the first half of the 1990s. The author of this article analyzed the solution of social problems through the prism of the relationship between federal and regional authorities, in the relationship of social sphere and agricultural production. Government measures aimed at mitigating the negative social consequences of changes in the agricultural sphere are considered on the basis of documents first introduced into circulation. The reform of the agricultural sector in the early 1990s under the auspices of the program “Revival of the Russian village and the development of the agro-industrial complex” was carried out under conditions of a radical change in the political and economic course, the transformation of economic relations, the collapse of the USSR, difficulties in providing material and technical resources. These factors significantly influenced the effectiveness of reforms, which only aggravated the socio-economic situation of agriculture. According to the author, a sharp reduction in support for the agricultural industry by the state, unreasoned attempts to form private ownership in the village, led to the collapse of state farms - the main employer in rural areas and the producer of products, which significantly affected the agricultural production crisis affecting the village social sphere. According to the author, a sharp reduction in support for the agricultural industry by the state, unreasoned attempts to form private property relations in the village led to the collapse of state farms - the main employer and producer of products in rural areas, which significantly contributed to the crisis of agricultural production and the social sphere of the village.
On the example of the Khabarovsk Territory, it is considered how local authorities, solving the personnel and housing issue through concessional lending measures, tax preferences, organization of agricultural-type educational institutions, tried to minimize the migration of people from rural areas.
Exploring the diametrically opposed points of view on the transformation of the social sphere in agricultural production and the consequences of these transformations presented in the article, the author comes to the conclusion that in reforming the agricultural sector a constructive dialogue between politicians, scientists and farmers is necessary.
Key words: Khabarovsk Territory, social policy, social sphere, agro-industrial complex, agriculture, food, collective farms, state farms, agricultural production, people.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE POLISH UPRISING OF 1830-1831 ON THE TURN IN THE ST. PETERSBURG OFFICIAL ATTITUDE TO THE POLISH QUESTION
The article is devoted to the description of the basic principles of the policy of the government of the Russian Empire concerning the Kingdom of Poland before the uprising of 1830-1831, when the Constitutional Charter was in force, and after it, when it came to the introduction of martial law. The author sees the essence of such turn in the fact that before the uprising of 1830-1831 the Russian authorities included Polish nobility in the political and cultural elite of the Russian Empire, giving it the role of a "locomotive" in the process of Russia’s rapprochement with the West European civilization. The article emphasizes that the main task of the state was to unite the Slavic peoples, to incorporate the Polish lands into the Russian Empire and to make its population citizens of the Russian Empire, when the Poles did not have an opportunity to have a sovereign independent state, after the uprising that task was solved on the fundamentally different grounds. The unification program was implemented through the submission to the existing law, subordination to the state and the Emperor. It is shown that the uprising changed the attitude of the public opinion in Russia to the issue of Polish participation in the all-Russian affairs. The problem is personified and considered through the prism of such personalities as Emperor Alexander I, Prince A. Czartoryski, Emperor Nicholas I, General Field Marshal I. F. Paskevich, Prince of Warsaw and Count of Erivan.
Key words: The Kingdom of Poland, the Constitutional Charter, the unification of the Slavic peoples, the uprising of 1830-1831, the Organic Statute, martial law, Alexander I, Czartoryski, A., Nicholas I., F. Paskevich.

THE IMAGE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE EURONEWS MASS MEDIA
The article analyses the coverage of the Catholic Church activity by the Euronews mass media in 2018 through content analysis of the materials, published on its website. The Holy See is one of the most regularly discussed subjects of the channel and it gets a systematic coverage by the Euronews. The results of the research show, that the Euronews media coverage of Church activities is directed towards depicting it in predominantly negative way and strongly associating Vatican with sex abuse. Every second time the Catholic Church is mentioned it has a negative coverage. If the neutral coverage is not considered, as it doesn’t shape any attitude amongst the population, the percentage of negative materials, compared to positive is even higher – 75%.
Key words: media coverage, Euronews, Christianity, Catholic Church, Holy See, mass media.

INTEGRATION PROJECTS IN THE FORMER USSR IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE POST-SOVIET POLITICAL SPACE
The article discusses the dynamics of the functioning of integration processes in the post-Soviet space in the process of formalizing new political and economic realities. The high degree of relevance of integration associations in the former Soviet Union is increasingly increasing due to objective reasons related to the presence of established traditional ties in all spheres of public, political, financial and economic life, as well as subjective ones caused by the increased fragmentation factor in the regional space under the influence of an external factor. The concentration in the space of the former USSR of the interests of various world actors leads to a shift in the previously established norms, thus forming the depth of the apparent regional order. Against this background, an integration association as a structural unit of the modern world order can be represented as a player who adheres to the rules of the world order, and in some respects is their generator.

EFFICIENCY OF THE NON-STATE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITY FOR REALIZATION OF THE NATIONAL POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (TULA AREA EXAMPLE)
The article analyzes the activities of non-state NPOs in the process of fulfilling the main tasks outlined in the Strategy of the State National Policy until 2025. Today, the activity of such structures is marked by excessive intensity in the direction of some areas and insufficient attention to others. So non-governmental non-profit organizations in a fairly large amount of events hold for the patriotic education of young people and countering the spread of ideologies of extremism and terrorism in educational institutions. However, some socially significant areas of state national policy remain outside their field of vision. As a classic example, we considered the situation in the Tula region, which made it possible to draw a number of conclusions. Often, events concerning patriotic education and the fight against manifestations of extremism are organized on the initiative of state structures, where non-state non-profit organizations take a far from leading role. In other words, there are still not enough initiatives from civil society, including in the process of implementing the state national policy. Civic political culture, which implies greater independence, activity and responsibility on the part of civil society organizations, is at the formative stage, which determines the orientation of NGOs in their activities on the political course set by the federal and regional authorities.
Key words: state national policy, non-governmental NGOs, civil initiatives.

HISTORY OF US DIGITAL DIPLOMACY AND ITS PECULIARITIES
Turnaround of the national interests and priorities in the US foreign policy in the age of globalization has led to the development of the basic instruments and mechanisms of public diplomacy. The article presents the main stages of the evolution of “digital diplomacy” as a new instrument of strategic deterrence and global security. From the very beginning of 2000 up till now “digital diplomacy” remains the key mechanism keeping up foreign policy discussions at the highest level, state departments and institutions, international and nongovernmental organizations, media platforms and Internet users. Successful and as promptly as practicable institutionalization, effective mechanism of the promotion of foreign policy ideas and interests and searching for allies and adherents abroad, online principle of feed-back, split-level interaction between the representatives of foreign policy departments and society, opening of the new channels and platforms for the enhancement of national interests are among the strong points of the US digital diplomacy. There are also some disadvantages of using “digital diplomacy” by the US foreign policy departments like unleashing of informative and net wars, regional and global conflicts, advancing one-sided position on international issues and spread of misinformation.
Development of the institutions of “digital diplomacy” by the other countries has doubled the results of the new communication technologies and become the mechanism to maintain the global informative security.
Key words: US digital diplomacy, global informative space, international relations, digital interaction, institutionalization of informative diplomacy, strategic deterrence, net wars.

STRATEGIC EVALUATIONS OF RUSSIAN-EUROPEAN RELATIONS AFTER THE UKRAINIAN CRISIS
Five years have passed since the start of the Ukrainian crisys, and the de facto union of the Crimean region with the Russian Federation. The events have a lots of explanations, but there is a consensus forming arround the notion that the Ukrainian crisys is a European-Russian matter and finds its source of the conflict precisely in the European Union's expansion and the Russian Federation's response policy. The result is that relations between the European Union and Russia, one of the most consolidated international relations on the European continent, are at the lowest level of cooperation from the formation of bilateral relations.
There are numerous measures and counter measures that have been taken over 5 years that led to the formation of a new Russian-European relationship. Todays status-quo is a delicate one and although it has had its own moments of excess, it is now in a period of adaptation and transition. The Russian Federation is looking for resources to defend itself from the effects of European sanctions and to look for beneficial strategic solutions, and the European Union seeks to undermine the influence and potential of future Russian actions.
Key words: European Union, Russian Federation, Russia-european relations.

RUSSIAN EMIGRATION TO LATIN AMERICA: SPECIFIC FEATURES, ROLE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF RUSSIAN EMIGRATION IN PARAGUAY
The emigration as the phenomenon of massive resettlement has its own general trends throughout human history, as well as some peculiarities if we regard it, for instance, through the prism of Russian emigration to different countries and regions of the world. Among such principal directions of Russian emigration Paraguay can be designated. In the present article the author pretends to demonstrate and critically analyze on the basis of available sources and including different publications in foreign languages, the role, features and significance of Russian emigration in Paraguay. This article also reflects the polemic over different points of view on the importance of Russian emigration in Paraguay. The results of the study show that Russian emigration overcame enormous difficulties and despite all negative experiences formed the Russian diaspora in Paraguay, wining trust and recognition of most of the local elite and the population itself. Prominent personalities emerged from the Russian diaspora, many of them became the historical and national heritage of Paraguay. The Russian Diaspora in Paraguay is currently making efforts to create and maintain a “Russian hearth”, the organization of which was one of the main goals of the first “white emigrant” Ivan Belyaev. However, without necessary assistance of the Russian Embassy in Paraguay, maintaining and strengthening ties with the historic homeland remains a rather difficult task. The movement towards mutual actions of Russian-Paraguayans and indigenous Russians creates the conditions for a positive outcome in bilateral relations in the name of creating a “brand of Russian culture” in Paraguay.
Key words: Russian emigration, Russian emigration to Latin America, Russian emigration to Paraguay.
