THE DYNAMICS OF CHANGING THE CONDITIONS OF THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE POPULATION IN THE 1950S-1970S: ON THE MATERIALS OF THE AREAS OF THE CENTRAL CHERNOZEM ECONOMIC REGION

The study of the living conditions of the population is an integral part of the analysis of the implementation of the social policy of the Soviet state, implemented during the 1950-1970's. Based on specific indicators of everyday reality, it seems possible to determine the overall level of social welfare of citizens. During the preparation of the article, the aim was to show the most common ways to meet the needs of citizens of the regions of the Central Black Earth Economic Region based on the use of established family budgets. A comparative analysis was made of the budgetary opportunities of both urban and urban residents and rural population. To achieve this goal, such general scientific methods of cognition as description and measurement, including such direction as aggregation, that is, data averaging, analysis and synthesis, classification and typology, system-structural and functional analysis, were of great importance. Taking into account the historical and economic character of the research, an abstract logical method of cognition of historical reality was used, providing for a purposeful study of a complex of various systematized sources. On the basis of identified archival documents, not only the typical directions in spending money earned, but also revealed the inconsistency of income and expenditure components of financial opportunities of citizens. The conclusion is drawn that due to the low level of development of the production of consumer goods and durable goods, insufficient volume of household services, a significant part of the financial resources remained unrealized and accumulated on accounts in savings banks. This circumstance had a negative impact not only on the social situation, but also on the stability of the functioning of the political system of the Soviet state.

Key words: social policy, Central Chernozem economic region, incomes of the population, family budget, daily life, purchasing opportunities, commodity turnover.

KYRGYZSTAN AND JAPAN: HISTORY AND PROSPECTS OF MUTUAL COOPERATION

The financial assistance became a one of the significant component of Japan's policy towards the countries of the former USSR in the early 1990s. In October 1991, the Japanese government decided to grant grant aid to post-Soviet countries amounting to $ 2.5 billion, which together with other measures amounted to almost $ 3 billion. Japan's assistance included technical and humanitarian assistance, as well as support for trade facilitation. Partnership with Japan for Kyrgyzstan is one of the main priorities of the modern foreign policy of the state. During the last period, several important bilateral events were carried out that had a positive impact on the overall dynamics and background of cooperation.

Key words: Japan, Kyrgyzstan, cooperation, economy, development.

THE “OTHER” ISLAM IN TURKEY: SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE ALEVI COMMUNITY

The title of this paper is The “Other” Islam in Turkey, which aims to reflect two main points. Namely, Turkey is a Muslim-majority country that is also a secular democratic state. Turkey’s religious tradition is extraordinarily rich and Islam is not a monolithic religion in the country. The Alevi community is Turkey’s leading non-Sunni Muslim minority. There are no precise data on the number of Alevis in Turkey, but estimates range from 10 to 15 million.

The second point concerns the phenomenon of “othering” and its implications for the daily life and social status of the Alevi community today. In the Ottoman Empire, Alevis were considered heretics and, therefore, suffered severe discrimination. That is why they supported the establishment of the secular republic, which severed ties to Sunni Islam as the state religion and put an end to formal discrimination against Alevis. Despite its secular nature, however, the republic maintained the privileged position of Sunni Islam. Nevertheless, especially since the 1990s, the Alevis have become more visible in society and more active in the political arena. Today, the Alevis are a significant factor in Turkey’s social and political climate.

This paper gives a general description of the Alevi community in Turkey and focuses on the evolution of its social and political status from the proclamation of the Republic to the present day.

Key words: Turkey, Alevism, the Alevi community, political Islam, non-Sunni Muslim minorities, secularism, democracy.

NATIONAL INTERESTS AND THE DECLARATION OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY OF KABARDINO-BALKARIA

The national question is connected practically with all spheres of life of a society and can be dictated by problems of social and economic, political and cultural-ideological development of the people. Its final solution seems impossible, since every historical stage pushes new objective challenges in the sphere of national development. In this regard, it is obvious that there are no universal ways to solve them. However, the above does not mean that the national question can not be kept within a civilized framework. One of the important and indispensable conditions for this is an objective and comprehensive study of the national question at different stages of national historical development.

Within the framework of the new post-Soviet Russian statehood, the national question has been transformed and has found new facets of its manifestation in the subjects of the federation. Taking into account the above-mentioned circumstances, the aim of the research is to consider the process of adopting the Declaration of Sovereignty of Kabardino-Balkaria in the conditions of democratization of the country's socio-political life.

To achieve this goal, the following research tasks were set: for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of all submitted drafts of the Declaration; Determine the share of the manifestation of national "egoism" by project developers, which will reveal their conflict potential.

The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism (the consideration of phenomena and events in interrelations and interdependence in a concrete historical situation and in chronological order), objectivity (the desire to make research credible and the principle of systemicness (events and phenomena of the past are regarded as links in one system).

Analysis of the research problem led to the following conclusions: in the context of the general crisis and the weakening of the system of central and republican power, the national movements of Kabardino-Balkaria took the initiative in their own way to express and realize their national interests; The Russian-speaking population of the republic during the period under review played a role of a deterrent in the ethnopolitical opposition of "titular" peoples.

Key words: Kabardino-Balkaria, Declaration, sovereignty, project, national movements, statehood, self-determination, ethno-elite.

VALUE THE ISLAM EXPERIENCE FOR THE EEU

The Eurasian Economic Union was initially designed in accordance with the European liberal model of "four freedoms", that cannot be realized today because of the sanctions reality. It must be stressed that the long-term functionality of such model is controversial because it started to cause failures also within the EU. Islamic model can be suggested as one of the substantial alternatives to the above concept because it consistently implements the principle of justice. The article is an attempt to analyse how values are associated with economic prosperity, how they structure the social organism and which model ensures a greater degree of fairness in the redistribution of resources.

Key words: Eurasian integration, globalization, the Eurasian Economic Union, Islamic finances, Islamic economics, international economic relations.

RUSSIAN COMMUNITY IN THE BALTIC STATES: CAUSES OF DISCRIMINATION

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and to draw attention to the humanitarian problem and the political situation in the countries of the Baltic region after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Another purpose was to consider the issue of infringement of the rights Russian-speaking population in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in political and historical discourse. The author also made an attempt to analyze an imposed myth about the occupation of the Baltic republics by the Soviet Union and to compare the national policies of the Baltic States with other countries of the world. The article examines policy of the Baltic republics in respect of the Russian-speaking population at the present stage, and also throughout the 20th century. Political interests here are implemented by flirting with the national feelings of the people, as the most accessible and primitive way in winning votes. Russians live in the Baltic for quite a long time, but Russia should not forget about its compatriots and should pay more attention to the infringement of the rights of the Russian-speaking people abroad.

Key words: the Russian-speaking population, linguistic minority, ethnic minority, population, infringement of rights, discrimination, the titular nation, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, language policy, citizenship, the USSR.

FEATURES OF POLITICAL IDENTITY IN RUSSIA AND GREECE

The problem of political identity is extremely relevant in the modern world. The problem of identity and the definition of the grounds for its study are also relevant because of the crisis of the identity of modern man. There are different points of view on the concept of political identity. In the West, political identity is inseparable from the concept of state-nation and national identity. In Russia, political identity is often interpreted as an electoral choice of citizens. In this article, an attempt is made to disclose the concept of political identity as an identity of the national-state community and the collective self – consciousness of its citizens. It is political identity that turns a people or several peoples living in a certain territory into a nation by creating or deepening a common cultural paradigm of thinking, a common set of values, ideals, a common world view. Which, in turn, are precisely those key and fundamental factors that ultimately determine the inseparable link between society and the state. Political identity influences the foreign policy of all modern states. The article examines the political identity of such states as Russia and Greece. Russia appears to be making several choices at once – between integration into European civilization and the desire to preserve itself as an independent center of power, relative isolation and complete openness, an empire and a nation-state. The influence that the Greek political identity has on the behavior of Greece in recent years postpones the foreign policy of the state, since the Greek government seeks to gain EU confidence and renew ties with friendly countries in spite of the crisis.

Key words: political identity, state, collective identity, national state, foreign policy, Russia, Greece.
