In this regard, the factors contributing to the victory of our people in the Great Patriotic War are of particular interest. One of the factors that ensured the victory of our country over a strong and high-tech enemy was the steady work of the agricultural sector of the USSR. The key to the successful organization of socialist competition among rural workers was the propaganda work organized among rural workers during the war years. An important area of propaganda work was the organizational and propaganda support of the internal competition of rural units and collective farmers themselves.

Key words: agriculture, machine operator cadres, agricultural mechanization school, machine operator training courses, machine tractor stations.

RUSSIAN CULTURE AND THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AT THE TURN OF THE XIX CENTURY – XX CENTURY: FROM THE OLD CULTURAL PATTERNS TO THE NEW SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTENT

The article examines the problems of the formation of a new Russian culture in the late XIX – early XX centuries. The authors explore general civilizational and geopolitical factors, as well as the internal Russian causes of the processes that led to the emergence of a new Russian culture. They show that, taken together, these reasons have determined the direction of socio-cultural changes in Russian society. However, these processes acquire true dynamism and acceleration after the fundamental revolutionary changes that took place in February-October 1917. The authors consider these events to be the starting point for the construction of a new culture in the former Russian Empire. At the same time, the authors focus on the linguistic aspect of the existence of Russian culture of the period under review, since the language, of course, was a reflection of those fundamental socio-political and socio-cultural changes that occurred in Russian society at the turn of the century. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the authors, for the first time, having analyzed historical material, showed the relationship between the political, cultural and linguistic aspects of Russian public life that arose after the fundamental revolutionary changes in October 1917. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the processes of transformation of socio-political life, culture and language in Russia at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries.

ON CLARIFYING THE SIZE OF DEMOGRAPHIC LOSSES OF THE POPULATION OF RUSSIA AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE COLLAPSE AND LIQUIDATION OF THE USSR

The article is devoted to the problem of demographic losses incurred by the Russian Federation (RF) as a result of the collapse and liquidation of the Soviet Union (USSR). When calculating quantitative estimates, the authors relied not only on the indicators of population size and its natural movement, but also on external migration. The analysis was conducted on the basis of a comparison of time series of indicators for 1975-1991, the last stage of the USSR, and for 1992-2022, the latest stage in the history of the Russian Federation. It is shown that after the collapse of the USSR, the demographic situation in the Russian Federation developed according to a pessimistic scenario, as a result of which the size of demographic losses at the upper limit of the estimate was comparable to the losses of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, and at the lower limit – with the losses of the Russian Empire in the First World War and the Civil War. It was established that demographic losses were compensated mainly by external migration growth, the consequence of which are the risks of destructive processes in Russian society. The timeliness of the correction of the vector of demographic policy in the direction of strengthening the institution of the family, increasing the birth rate and improving the health status of the population was noted.

Key words: human potential, natural population movement, birth rate, mortality, external migration, demographic losses.

INTERACTION OF SUBSYSTEMS OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF CRIMEA

The amendments to the Basic Law of the Russian Federation adopted in 2020, normatively enshrine the collective concept of "public authority system", designed to unite state and public principles in the vertical of power into a single legal organism. The scientific community is still debating the conceptual and practical consequences that are brought into the legal and administrative spheres in connection with these legislative changes. The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanisms of interaction between state authorities and local governments in the Republic of Crimea within the framework of a single administrative and legal model. The article attempts to analyze the problematic aspects of cooperation between state authorities of the subject and local government. The author's classification of the mechanisms of interaction of public authority subsystems is proposed, dividing them into prescriptive, consultative and coordinating, and evaluation and control. The author's approach to understanding the mechanism of "redistribution of powers" is declared by identifying three models of its implementation. Within the framework of the mechanism of vesting local government bodies with individual state powers, its variety "sub-vesting" is distinguished. Using the example of the Republic of Crimea, the practice of applying the mechanisms of vesting and redistributing powers in terms of quantitative and qualitative indicators is considered. Based on them, a conclusion is made about the non-prevalence of these mechanisms in practice in the subject under consideration.

Key words: local self-government, public authority system, public authority, state authorities of the subject, delegation of powers, redistribution of powers, interaction mechanism, hierarchical descent of subsidies.

NETWORK APPROACH TO DESCRIBING INTERACTION OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ACTORS

This article provides an assessment of the display of the process of interaction of political and economic actors within the framework of the network approach. The author comes to the conclusion that from the point of view of the network approach, the mechanism of interaction of economic and political actors is constructed as follows. Initially, the process of forming a network coalition of actors is launched. In order to establish primary communication between them, a format for resolving contradictions is selected. Following this, institutionalization of power relations within the coalition of actors occurs. On the basis of institutions recognized by consensus, collective subjects of governance are formed and rights and positions of power are transferred to them. In the course of which the formation of mechanisms for appropriating political rent and "revolving doors" between economic and power structures within the network is carried out.

Key words: network approach, political actors, economic actors, interaction.

POLICY OF INTERACTION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT STRUCTURES AND IT COMPANIES TO ACHIEVE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE RUSSIAN SEGMENT OF CYBERSPACE

The article examines the transformation of relations between the state and business in the IT sphere of the Russian Federation in the period before and after the start of the special military operation of Russia in Ukraine and the introduction of unprecedented sanctions against Russia. The sphere of IT companies in Russia at the present stage appears to be a combination of significant threats and opportunities. Sanctions led to the severance of contacts with a large number of foreign partners and created a deficit of IT products on the Russian market. At the same time, the departure of foreign competitors from the domestic market opens up broad opportunities for the growth of domestic IT companies. To realize the possibilities of accelerated development of the IT sphere, it is necessary not only to have enhanced, systemic measures of state support, but also to revise approaches to the development of the IT sphere. These measures are necessary for the sustainability, security and development of the Russian segment of cyberspace, both in the short and long term.

THE ROLE OF MODERN DIGITAL PLATFORMS & TECHNOLOGIES IN SHAPING OF THE POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Nowadays in the modern world, social media and politics are closely intertwined to the point that separating them is becoming increasingly difficult. Social media now play a key role in shaping and developing the political landscape, contributing to both positive and negative changes. Initially conceived as a mean to unite the people, they have transformed into a powerful tool for political influence and dissemination of information. On a global scale, the influence of Facebook and Twitter (now renamed X) has become especially noticeable during political crises and elections, where the platforms have been used to mobilize activists, coordinate actions, and disseminate ideas. These events have shown that social media have become an integral part of the political landscape, capable of influencing public opinion and political processes. The format of social media changes the language, logic, and structure of political discourse and, accordingly, the communication strategies of political actors.

TRANSFORMATION OF CIVIC PARTICIPATION MODELS IN REGIONAL GOVERNANCE PROCESSES: FROM PUBLIC HEARINGS TO INTERACTIVE FORMS OF INTERACTION

The article explores the transformation of civic participation models in regional governance processes in the context of digitalization and the development of new forms of communication. Based on the analysis of contemporary practices of interaction between governmental authorities and society, trends are identified that indicate a shift from traditional institutionalized forms of participation to interactive formats rooted in the principles of participatory governance and network communication.

THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN INFORMATION WARS OF THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

The spread of artificial intelligence is changing a wide range of areas of human society, and the political sphere is no exception. The article examines the use of AI in information warfare compared to "traditional" combat operations. It is shown that the range of AI systems and algorithms used in information and psychological campaigns is already very broad and is ahead of many other areas of AI use. In the future, it seems likely that AI will become even more widespread for such purposes due to its relative cheapness and availability compared to the tools of "traditional" combat operations. With regard to the latter, the use of AI also seems promising, but in terms of fully autonomous AI in combat systems, it faces fundamental ethical and legal challenges.

Key words: artificial intelligence, information wars, information-psychological wars, deepfakes, propaganda, psychological impact, information war tools.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE INFORMATIONAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL CONFRONTATION IN THE FIRST HALF OF XX CENTURY: USSR’S EXPERIENCE

The article deals with the evolution of the concepts of information-psychological confrontation of the USSR in the first half of the XX century. The concept of information-psychological confrontation of the USSR is defined, based on theoretical studies. The article demonstrates the process of evolution of the concept, presents problems and challenges. The article considers 2 stages of development of the concept of information-psychological confrontation – the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War. The examples of these stages are used to analyze the means, methods and orientation of information-psychological confrontation and to evaluate its effectiveness. Another task of the article is to determine the reasons for the changes in the concepts of information-psychological confrontation. The main conclusion of the work is that already at the time of the first half of the XX century such key principles of realization of information-psychological confrontation were formed as the provision by the authorities of the country of control over specialized state institutions responsible for the dissemination of information, active psychological work to decompose the enemy's morale, timely use of technology. Based on the work done, the author proposes to pay special attention to the modern process of building a new concept of information-psychological confrontation, addressing the current threats and challenges caused by the introduction of technologies based on artificial intelligence, based on the key principles laid down in the first half of XX century.

Key words: information-psychological confrontation, psychological warfare, Great Patriotic War.

POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF YEMEN IN LIGHT OF REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CHANGES

The article highlights the political aspects of the Yemeni crisis, in which it was possible to achieve a sustainable political settlement with the participation of all parties in discussing the geographical and military aspects of the country's future. The author analyzes the political situation in the country from the launch of the Peace and Partnership Initiative to the Houthi coup against legitimacy in September 2014, the negotiations in Kuwait in 2016, which the Houthis refused at the stage of signing the agreement to the Stockholm Agreement in 2019. The author emphasizes that a large number of opportunities for conflict resolution were missed in April 2022, when a ceasefire agreement was reached under the auspices of the UN, and in September 2023, when the UN envoy to Yemen Hans Grundberg proposed a settlement option through a “road map”, but the events of October 7, 2023 and the war in Gaza cut off the road.

"INDO-PACIFIC STRATEGY": SECURITY ISSUES BETWEEN CHINA AND INDIA AND POSSIBLE PATHS FOR REGIONAL BALANCE

The concept of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" (IPS) and its implementation have significantly impacted the geopolitical situation in the Asia-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean. As two major regional powers, China and India play key roles in ensuring security within the context of this strategy. The United States, relying on cooperation with India, Japan, Australia, and other countries, seeks to contain China's geopolitical influence, while India uses this strategy to strengthen its regional leadership. The security issues between China and India in this context not only reflect their bilateral contradictions but also directly affect peace and stability in the region. This article aims to analyze the challenges in the field of security within the framework of the IPS and propose possible paths for achieving sustainable regional development through balance.

Key words: Indo-Pacific Strategy, China-India relations, security issues, regional balance, geopolitics.

JAPAN'S STRATEGIC DIALOGUE WITH PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS: FROM ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP TO BUILDING A COLLECTIVE SECURITY SYSTEM IN POLYNESIA, MICRONESIA AND MELANESIA

The article analyses the problematics of strategic relations between Japan and Pacific Island Nations. Between 2019 and 2024, the Japanese government’s interest in the countries of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia has increased significantly, as evidenced by the results of quantitative and qualitative analyses of annual White Papers. In 2019, the umbrella term ‘Pacific Islands’ is mentioned only 27 times in the Defense of Japan. In 2020 and 2021, it is mentioned 34 times each. The increase is noticeable in 2022 as well: 43 times. After that (due to the fixation on other aspects of international politics from Ukraine to Taiwan) interest temporarily drops to 26 times, but then – in 2024 – breaks a new record of 75 mentions per document. The main driver of Japanese presence into the region is the desire to outpace China economically, scientifically, technologically and militarily. To this end, the Japanese government is actively investing in the Pacific Island countries: building infrastructure, training personnel, conducting exercises and helping to overcome the consequences of natural disasters. At the same time, the Japanese leadership pursues at least two goals in Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia: 1) implementation of the American IPOI concept; 2) implementation of the ‘KIZUNA’ plan developed by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and soon continued by his successor Fumio Kishida. The strategic interaction between Japan and the Pacific Island nations is asymmetric, as Japan gives much more resources to its ‘junior partners’ than it receives in return. The main benefit for the Japanese state in this situation is the loyalty of the small powers in the region in case of a confrontation with China. As international tensions grow, Japan, a largely non-self-reliant country, acquires its own ‘spokes’, which then form a buffer zone of security between China and the US. Although this process is still understudied by the academic community, its potential is extremely high.

Key words: Japan, Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, dialogue, strategy, security.
