JADIDISM AND BASMATISM: TRENDS AND CONTRADICTIONS
This article examines one of the most important aspects of the microclimate of Turkestan Islam during the years of Sovietization of Central Asia, as the relationship between the Basmachi and the Jadids. Jadidism originally emerged as a progressive enlightenment and reform movement within Islam. By 1917, it had transformed into a political movement that insisted on an autonomous and all-Russian (and later independent and nationalist) democratic, secular way of development and the future structure of Central Asia. It is noted that from the very beginning, the progressives were actively opposed by the most conservative wing of Turkestan Islam, called "Kadimiya", which defended the traditional, Sharia way. During the years of Sovietization, this confrontation resulted in a struggle with a new force - Basmachism, which arose by 1918 due to a whole set of reasons. It is emphasized that in the relations between the Jadids and the Basmachs they were not representatives of a single camp and did not have unified coordinated goals.
Key words: Jadidism, Basmatism, Islam, Central Asia, Soviets.

ON THE ISSUE OF STUDYING THE ACHKHOYEVO-BAMUT MOUNTAIN-WOODED ZONE OF THE CHECHEN REPUBLIC
(BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE HISTORICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC EXPEDITION)
This article is written on the basis of field materials of a historical and ethnographic expedition to the Achkhoyevo-Bamut region of the Chechen Republic.

Some toponymic data indicate the ancestral affiliation of the owners. The article presents a rich material on the flora and fauna of the district. A wide range of pottery products shows the pottery production developed for its time, and the mixed composition of the samples also allows for the presence of an underlying layer. It is emphasized that this zone is a historically important place, combining economic and strategic importance.

NATIONALISM IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD: TYPOLOGIZATION AND WAYS OF MANIFESTATION
The article examines various types of modern nationalism as a phenomenon of political life. It is shown that it can manifest itself in the form of separatism, irredentism, protective reaction to immigration, etc. It is noted that nationalism is often associated with painful reflection and an inferiority complex. The political practice of nationalism inevitably involves discrimination against ethnic minorities and can lead to acute conflicts up to civil wars. The question of the degree of compatibility of nationalism with respect for fundamental democratic principles and human rights remains debatable.
Key words: nationalism, nation, separatism, irredentism, national egoism, xenophobia, terrorism, ethnocracy, revanchism, radicalism.

HISTORIOGRAPHY OF POLITICAL INVESTIGATION IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE 1881-1917
At the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century, there was an increase in public discontent in different strata of society, which required the strengthening of law enforcement activities of the state. Similar conditions are developing now. In the conditions of increasing uncertainty of development and socio-economic tension in modern Russia, the study of best practices in ensuring security and public order can help ensure the preservation of internal order and security in the country. The study of historical experience is primarily based on the historiography of the problem. The article examines in detail the historiography of political investigation in the context of three chronological stages.
Key words: historiography, political investigation, political police, okhrana, security departments.

RELIGIOUS FACTOR IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL LIFE OF MODERN SOCIETY: SECULARIZATION AND DESECULARIZATION
This study is devoted to the examination of two parallel processes in modern society: secularization and de-secularization. Because to globalization, the humanity of the XXI century mostly exists in a single information field: we are all familiar with Hollywood films, Russian classical literature and Eastern poetry. However, can we say that the era of “intercultural confrontation” has come to an end? Not at all, especially taking into account that the religious factor still remains a reason for conflicts, because along with the general trend towards the growth of atheism, we are seeing a completely opposite surge in the activity of radical religious movements, it is this phenomenon that the work will be devoted to.
Key words: secularization, desecularization, multiculturalism, globalization, Arab-Muslim society.

THE ACTIVITY OF THE CPSU (B) IN THE MIDDLE VOLGA REGION IN THE "PRE-COLLECTIVE FARM" PERIOD: A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF THE 1920S-1930S.
The article attempted to disclose the activities of the CPSU in the Middle Volga region in the pre-farm period, during the period to implement the Leninist plan for co-operating peasant farms. In summarizing the experience of the Communist Party in implementing the Leninist cooperative plan, it is of great importance to study the laws of the socialist transformation of agriculture, which were manifested differently in certain paradise areas of the country. For example, local party organizations had to take into account the national characteristics of the population. In the middle Volga provinces there were national regions inhabited by Tatars, Chuvash, Mordovians. There were significantly fewer communists in them than in areas with a predominant Russian population, which created additional difficulties.
Key words: CPSU, village, collective farm, cooperative plan, socialism, small-scale production, cooperation, NEP, peasants, Soviet power.

LABOR ACTIVITY OF THE PEASANTRY MIDDLE VOLGA REGION IN THE PERIOD OF DEVELOPED SOCIALISM: A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL VIEW
This article attempts to identify some trends in the study of the labor activity of the peasantry of the Middle Volga region during the period of developed socialism in the historical literature published in 1965-1975. The literature published mainly in the autonomous republics is analyzed, since familiarity with these publications gives reason to note that the greatest attention of researchers was paid to such issues as identifying factors affecting the growth of labor activity of the peasantry, the forms of its appearance and its impact on the development of agriculture. The sources note in a complex system of factors that determine the growth of labor activity, the decisive role of the material and technological working conditions of the peasantry. The researchers paid special attention to such simple resources of the CPSU policy as "non-material stimulation" of workers of state farms and collective farmers, to the agitation of positive examples of leaders, heroes of labor and collectives.
Key words: Village, collective farm, state farm, peasantry, agrarian history, labor, agro-industrial integration.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE RUSSIAN AND CHINESE VECTOR OF TRANSATLANTIC COOPERATION AT THE PRESENT STAGE
The article deals with the problems of interaction between Western countries in the Russian and Chinese directions. The chronological framework is determined by the current process of forming the policy of Western states in relation to the Russian Federation and the PRC, as well as the existing difficulties on this path.
According to the author, the foreign policy course of the leadership of the United States and the EU since the second half of the XX century has been focused on an active international policy in promoting their interests. Meanwhile, the development of the situation in the world over the past 20 years has significantly changed the geopolitical alignment and the role of world powers in civilizational development. There is no doubt about the economic breakthrough of the People's Republic of China and the country's entry into the leaders of world development. The restoration of Russia's political and economic positions is progressing steadily, with a stable prospect of reaching the level of influence on the world processes of the Soviet Union. The article emphasizes that all parties will strive to find ways of geopolitical balance. At the same time, the outcome of the confrontation between the superpowers will determine the role and place of each of them for the next 30-50 years.
Key words: the United States, the European Union, Russia, China, NATO, transatlantic cooperation, international relations.

The main direction of authors research is Southeast Asia, where fundamental world problems are concentrated today. In addition, during COronaVIrus Disease 2019 billions of people were sent to isolation, the world economy plunged into a full-scale crisis, and most international institutions were devalued. And it makes the situation particularly acute. The international community has not made any effective attempts to coordinate international efforts to get out of this full-scale crisis. To date, an effectively functioning international order based on global governance has not been created, while the system has occupied a new attractor.

FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AFRICAN VECTOR OF CONTEMPORARY TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY
Turkey's penetration into Africa is a popular topic in media publications and scientific research. Neo-Ottomanism, imperialism – this is how international think tanks and journalists characterize Ankara's actions on the continent. After Erdogan came to power, Turkey's foreign policy expanded to the African continent, which has never happened in the history of the republic. The intensification of the activity of the Turks at the present stage raises many questions not only about what impact this will have on economic and political processes, but also causes great concern for security. Military intervention, the operation of private military companies, interference in internal political processes, support for radical Islamist groups have become the subject of UN reports, as well as a reason for disagreements with the countries of Africa and Europe.

SOFT POWER AS A NEW SYSTEM FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FOREIGN POLICY INTERESTS
Today, one of the main instruments of influence in the foreign policy of subjects of international relations is soft power, but there is not always a clear idea of what it is and how it works. This article discusses theoretical approaches to the concept of soft power and its main mechanisms. The general tools of soft power and hard power are considered. This paper focuses on the comparison of soft power and propaganda approaches. The author's definition of the concept of "soft power" is given. The possibilities of methods and strategies of soft power are analyzed from the point of view of the attractiveness of its potential and resources. It was revealed that this concept cannot fully explain the foreign policy of states that use soft power technologies in order to increase their influence on socio-political processes in countries falling under their sphere of interests.
Key words: soft power, propaganda, "Step to a Better Future", coercive mechanisms, Georgia, Republic of South Ossetia.

REFLECTION OF RELEVANT FOLKLORE OF VALACHIA, MOLDOVA AND TRANSILVANIA IN THE IDEO-IMAGE LEVEL OF THE «VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE – BLOODLINES» VIDEO GAME
This article is devoted to the analysis of mythologemes and eternal images of mystical creatures – strigoi in the current folklore of the peoples of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. The relevance of the research topic lies in the need for a private study of Romanian mythology in aspects of demonology and myths about mystical creatures.

On the example of the video game «Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines», one can gather a number of information to establish the continuity of the cultural traditions of myths and fairy tales in the products of media culture. The practical significance of the study is due to the possibility of using the materials of the work for further study of Romanian myths and folklore. In the methodological aspect, the results of the research can be used as actualization in the lessons on «World Art Culture» at school, as well as in the classroom on cultural disciplines at a higher educational institution. The scientific novelty of the research is expressed in a comprehensive analysis of the mythological essence of the strigoi vampires in two sources – folklore, Romanian mythology and the lore of the video game «Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines». A new look at the ideological and imaginative component of the mythical creature of the strigoi is reflected in the mythological tradition, actualized by the authors – developers of the video game. The purpose of the research is to analyze the inheritance of Romanian mythological traditions in describing strigoi using the example of folklore and the ideological level of the video game «Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines». The result of the research was the study of all the key mythologemes and eternal images associated with popular beliefs, omens, folklore of the peoples of Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania on the example of the stable connections of myths in the video game «Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines».
Key words: mythology, folklore, tradition, creativity, clan, vampire, strigoi.

SITUATIONAL FACTORS OF CULTURAL INTEGRATION OF MIGRANTS IN RUSSIA (ON THE EXAMPLE OF CITIZENS OF AZERBAIJAN)
The article examines the situational factors of the integration of migrants in the cultural sphere. The study is based on semi-formalized interviews with migrants from Azerbaijan in Moscow and the Moscow region, as the region that receives the most numerous flows of labor migrants. Based on the research approaches of European scientists (R. Penninx, H. Entzinger), cultural integration is considered as one of the most important spheres, along with political, legal and socio-economic. It is shown that migrants from Azerbaijan, being «visible minorities» and «objects of unwanted presence», assess relations with Russians in a positive way, and also see themselves as a part of the host society, based on getting used to life in it. Plans to return to the country of origin are not very common for them, the desire to «settle» in Russia looks like a more acceptable strategy, especially among long-term migrants.
Key words: migration, integration of migrants, migrants from Azerbaijan, cultural integration, transnational connections of migrants.

TURKEY'S POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH IRAQI KURDISTAN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MIDDLE EAST FOREIGN POLICY STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY
Over the past ten years, the Middle East has been occupying a special place in the foreign policy strategy of the Republic of Turkey. During the Arab revolutions, the Turkish leadership began to actively take an interest in the affairs of the region in order to create a Turkish sphere of influence there. Within the framework of Turkey's Middle East policy, Iraq and especially the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan occupy a special place. The particular importance of this region for Turkey is due to several factors. First, the necessity to ensure the security of the Turkish borders. Second, it helps to influence the political situation in Iraq. Third, Iraqi Kurdistan, with its oil and gas resources, plays a significant role in the Turkish government's plans to turn Turkey into an energy hub of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Fourth, this region is a lucrative market for Turkish companies.
Key words: Turkey, Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq, USA, foreign policy.

REASONS FOR THE ONE BELT, ONE ROAD INITIATIVE
Since ancient times in China there was the so-called Silk Road, the idea of its revival was expressed by the head of China in 2013. At the first stage, the idea was based on the creation of transport corridors between China and the western part of Europe, which is the main consumer of Chinese products, later the proposal to form a sea route was put forward. It is worth noting that the reference to the historical silk road is not accidental, the currently used routes basically repeat the historical caravan routes. Skepticism about the Chinese initiative on the part of many countries, over time, has been replaced by the understanding that the program is able to change the balance of power in the political and political arena. In this article we will examine the reasons for the initiative under consideration.
Key words: China, Belt and Road, Russia, interaction.

MODELS OF ETHNO-SOCIAL INTEGRATION REGULATION IN SINGAPORE
As an independent modern island city-state in Southeast Asia, Singapore is at the intersection of ethnic, cultural and religious diversity. Ethnic diversity is the main characteristic of Singaporean society. Singapore's independence, the country's complex ethnic history and the dangerous geopolitical environment surrounding it have become a major challenge that Singapore has faced since its founding. However, after more than half a century of development, Singapore has evolved from an island country devoid of resources to a modern city-state with developed economy and coherent ethnic groups. The Singapore government utilizes multiculturalism to shape the national identities of several ethnic groups and a series of pragmatic strategies to break the segregation of the various ethnic groups formed in colonial times. How Singapore government manages ethnic differences, implements ethno-social integration, which becomes the subject of our analysis in this paper.
Key words: Singapore, Ethnic issues, Ethno-social integration models, State housing policy, Language policy.

INFORMATION SPACE AS A GEOPOLITICAL CATEGORY OF THE GLOBAL WORLD`S ERA
The 21st century is fairly called the «century of information technologies», which came with advanced communications equipment and transcontinental communications. One of the consequences of technological progress is the influence of the territorial factor, which was one of the key factors at the dawn of the formation of the geopolitics. In the fact, the territorial factor is beginning to weaken. At the same time, economic, cultural and informational factors that form the corresponding spaces are increasingly involved in geopolitical processes.
Thus, the relevance of this study is determined by the fact that the information factor acts as an important determinant of the dynamics of geopolitical processes.
Key words: information space, information space structure, geopolitics, territory, information factor, global world.
