FYODOR ANDREEVICH SHCHERBINA ABOUT THE LOCAL HISTORY AND NOMADIC CULTURE OF THE KUBAN COSSACKS

The article offers an analysis of the main social, military, everyday and territorial aspects that formed the basis of the local history of the Kuban Cossacks, and formed a special semi-nomadic way of life within the framework of the activities of local communities. The relevance of the study determined the need for a more detailed study of the reasons and prerequisites for the formation of the nomadic culture of the Kuban Cossacks, which today corresponds to the national policy for the development of the regional Cossacks of the South of Russia. If we compare the existing system of values of nomadic culture with the peculiarities of the development of the rhizome in botany, we can come to the conclusion that nomadic culture grows the easier, the more its representatives (national, cultural and linguistic) have spaces for growth, opportunities for creative development, actualization of will and realization of primary volitional qualities. A nomad always has divergent thinking, and especially the “great nomad”. In the framework of this study, we use special historical methods, methods of historical anthropology and cultural studies. The results of a study of the consistent evolution of local communities into a kind of synthetic formation, including peasant and Turkic-nomadic segments that determined the way of life of the Cossacks in the XIX century.

CURRENT CONCEPTS AND DIRECTIONS OF MODERN DOMESTIC THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL DISCUSSIONS, REPRESENTING THE CIVILIZATIONAL-ELITIST APPROACH: "COEVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT" AND "EURASIANISM"

The author concludes that the identified ideological and theoretical trends in the development of Russia and domestic elitogenesis reflect the current renormalization of the value-oriented foundation of Russian modernization on traditional cultural and civilizational grounds, which can be considered a positive trend in the formation of a Russian civilization-oriented paradigm in political science and the formation of a patriotic elite.

THE ROLE OF PARTIES IN THE SYMBOLIC DIMENSION OF POLITICAL SPACE

The aim of this article is to delineate the role of political parties within the symbolic dimension of the political sphere. Throughout this piece, the authors explore various approaches to understanding symbols at large, with a special focus on symbols in the context of political interaction. Theoretical insights from T. Parsons on social interaction are employed, highlighting the significance of «expressive symbols» and «propagandists» within political communication. Subsequently, the discussion turns to the specific symbols that constitute the symbolic structure of a political party – «object symbol», «idea symbol», «sound symbol» and «person symbol». Party symbols serve a critically important communicative function between society and authority, playing a pivotal role in political propaganda and the political socialization of society, thereby influencing the formation of political beliefs.

The authors conclude that the symbolism utilized by political parties plays a key role in stabilizing and integrating the political system, facilitating the reproduction and strengthening of political connections within society. However, since the early 2000s, there has been a transformation in Russia's political landscape, characterized by a push towards the consolidation of social and political forces, leading to a simplification of the «political mosaic» and a reduction in the number of parties. This process, in turn, has led to a narrowing of the «symbolic space» and a decrease in pluralism within the public political dialogue, i.e., the formation of a political system dominated by a single actor, thereby distorting the reality of political competition. The authors suggest that in this context, some remaining parties attempt to adapt to new conditions by borrowing rhetorical strategies from others, ultimately leading to a blurring of the boundaries between different political identities and creating an illusion of political diversity.

Key words: symbolic politics, symbolic relationships, symbolic structure of the party, image of the political party, political identity, political symbols.

IMPROVING THE CLASSIFICATION OF URBAN ELECTRIC TRANSPORT

This article raises the issue of the lack of an up-to-date classifier of urban ground electric transport, which significantly complicates the formation of target indicators necessary for the development of this category of transport, and also complicates the determination of the regions' needs for rolling stock. Outdated classifiers do not reflect the current situation in urban electric transport and significantly complicate the development of transport planning documents. The author proposes a new classification that takes into account the parameters of the existing model range on the market of the domestic manufacturer, as well as in the fleets of electric transport enterprises. This classifier is recommended for inclusion in regulations at the federal level to improve state policy in the field of transport.

Key words: public administration, state policy in the field of transport, urban electric transport, transport development, transport classifier.

TECHNOCRATIC LEGITIMIZATION AND DIGITALIZATION IN MODERN RUSSIA

Power is always inextricably linked with society, which gives it legitimacy – the right to implement political decisions. At the same time, public trust in the government is based on a number of ways that, one way or another, can be indicated in various types of legitimacy. It is natural that the political thought of the XX and XXI centuries so thoroughly approached the conceptualization of the ways in which power achieves unconditional recognition of society. In the 21st century, due to the large-scale digitalization of all spheres of public life, legitimacy begins to be based on completely different principles. The technocratic component and the special qualities of a politician as a technocrat become the basis of legitimization. Similar processes are more or less present in all countries of the world, including modern Russia. The author discusses the technocratic model of government in the 20th century and the problems of legitimizing political power and public life through digitalization in the 21st century.

Key words: Russia, government, legitimization, technocracy, meritocracy, legitimacy, society, digitalization, IT sphere.

CLIMATE POLICY IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD

The article considers the problem of the effectiveness of the global climate policy implemented by various countries. The author notes that despite the large enough financing of decarbonization projects by different countries, no significant results have been achieved to reduce the rate of global temperature growth. At the same time, it is emphasized that the real counteraction to climate change primarily requires solving the problem of cross-country management of the planet's water resources, which necessitates the construction of a multipolar climate policy. The author concludes that it should be about the priority of the «water climate transition» over the «green» one. The author also comes to the conclusion about the priority of the strategy of «small things» over the strategy of global abstract promises.

Key words: climate policy, multipolar world, water resources, hydropolitics.

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FEATURES OF CYBERSECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF HIGH-TECHNOLOGY CRIME

The article considers the role and significance of high-tech crime in the modern world, shows its distinctive features, such as transnational nature and constant evolution. Since criminals today can carry out their criminal activities from anywhere in the world, and victims and targets of cyberattacks can be located in completely different jurisdictions, the author draws attention to the importance and necessity of revising approaches to combating cybercrime and emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in this area. Particular attention is paid to the importance of the development of normative legal acts and international cooperation to ensure security in the digital environment. The draft Convention on Combating Cybercrime as an alternative to the Budapest Convention, proposed by the Russian Federation and adopted at the final session of the UN Ad Hoc Committee on the Elaboration of a Comprehensive International Convention on Combating the Use of Information and Communication Technologies for Criminal Purposes, is considered. A chronology of the discussions on the UN Convention on Cybercrime is presented.

The author believes that despite the fact that the text of the Convention was partially agreed upon and the final document contains fragments adopted behind the scenes, as well as some of the provisions could not be agreed upon, the adopted draft UN Convention will become the basis for international law enforcement cooperation in the fight against cybercrime, and it can undoubtedly be considered a success of Russian diplomacy, expert community and law enforcement agencies of different countries, as the document will allow to legalize a number of necessary tools at the international level.

Key words: high-tech crime, UN, UN Convention on Cybercrime, international cooperation, Budapest Convention, cybercrime.

INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES IN THE IDEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF GUNNAR MYRDAL

The present article is devoted to the consideration of scientific views of Gunnar Myrdal (1898-1987), a prominent Swedish socio-political and scientific figure. A major researcher of socio-economic processes, G. Myrdal is one of the central theorists and ideologists of the social-democratic model of the welfare state, which was established in Sweden in the second third of the XX century. The scientist's scientific heritage is also great - outside the Nordic countries he is known as the creator of the Stockholm school of macroeconomics, institutional and sociological direction of scientific thought, substantively echoing Keynesianism. Many provisions formulated by G. Myrdal and his followers were widely reflected in the processes of economic, social and political integration in Scandinavia and Finland, which unfolded in the region of Northern Europe immediately after the end of the Second World War under the leadership of the ruling social-democratic parties. In no small measure, the integration processes in the Nordic countries anticipated similar phenomena in the leading countries of Western Europe, and the ideological and scientific heritage of G. Myrdal continues to attract the attention of various public figures and researchers.

Key words: Gunnar Myrdal, Sweden, integration processes, regional integration, Nordic Council, the Nordic countries.

STRUGGLE FOR SOVIET POWER: THE ROLE OF CHINESE VOLUNTEERS AND THE WORKING CLASS IN THE FORMATION OF THE RSFSR (1917-1922)

The relevance of the paper stems from the need to consider international Russian-Chinese relations, especially the role of Chinese workers and volunteers in the establishment of Soviet power. The ideas of the Soviet Russian programme, freedom of equality and fraternity formed the basis of the First Programme of the Chinese Communist Party. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that archival materials, articles by Soviet and Chinese historians reflecting the role of Chinese volunteers in the establishment of Soviet power in the RSFSR are investigated. The main methods are diachronic method (the period from 1917 to 1922 is considered), retrospective method (examination of the role of Chinese volunteers on the basis of archival and contemporary sources), anthropological method (influence of the struggle of Chinese workers on the formation of the ideas of the CPC). The aim of the work is to examine the role of Chinese workers and volunteers in the formation of the RSFSR in 1917-1922. The sources for the study are archival documents («Central State Archive of the Soviet Army», «Central State Archive of the October Revolution and Socialist Construction of the USSR»), issues of «Pravda», «Shen Bao», «Sovetskaya Rossiya», and «Ural» newspapers, research by Soviet and Chinese historians, as well as modern scholars. The author concludes that courage, fortitude, heroism and interest in the ideas of socialist revolution among Chinese workers and volunteers made it possible to convey the ideas of equality and brotherhood to their compatriots and fight for liberation of oppressed peoples.

Key words: RSFSR, Republic of China, Chinese volunteers, Chinese workers, Soviet power, Comintern, Communism, 1917-1922.

THE IMAGE OF RUSSIA IN THE VIEW OF CHINESE STUDENTS

In the context of deepening globalization and increasing frequency of international cultural exchanges between Russia and China, as countries with deep historical roots, it is of particular importance to consider the mutual image of the countries. The elements of its formation are cross-cultural and educational contacts, which include student exchanges. When Chinese students come to the Russian Federation, they not only gain new knowledge, but also enrich themselves culturally and form their own idea of our country. The purpose of this article is to study the image of Russia in the representation of Chinese students, analyze the factors influencing this image and put forward appropriate proposals. The authors come to conclusions about the difficulty of verifying the information received and the need for additional mechanisms in order to constructively shape the image of our country among foreign students.

Key words: China, Chinese students, image of Russia, Russia.

EUROPEAN UNION AS AN ELEMENT OF A SYSTEM OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

The European Union as a regional political and economic association of European countries can be considered from the point of view of various approaches and theories in the field of international relations.

In the current state of the system of international relations, the European Union is considered as a politically organized but dependent part of the global governance system, performing supporting functions in the global geopolitical project of the Anglo-Saxon world. Europe's dependent position arises as a result of the control established by the United States over the regional system of international relations in the field of military-political cooperation.

The polarization of international relations based on the principle of states' commitment to one of two globalization projects, led by the United States and the leaders of the world majority, respectively, influenced the differentiation of formats for developing global policy. The concept of multipolarity influences the further decentralization of global governance, implying a strengthening of the role of regional systems for regulating international relations.

From the point of view of the concept of multipolarity, the bodies of the European Union and regional international organizations form an incomplete regional system for regulating international relations, complicated by the geopolitical aspect. In the context of the concept of multipolarity, the positive prospects for the European Union are associated with the formation of the status of one of the equal actors in global politics and the collective pole of a multipolar world. The key condition for the inclusion of the European Union in a decentralized system of global governance in a multipolar world is the exit from the influence of the Anglo-Saxon world, a formal sign of which could be the refusal of European countries to participate in the North Atlantic Alliance and a foreign policy turn towards the Eurasian security system.

To solve research problems, issues of political integration in Europe were studied in a comparative aspect within the geopolitical approach, the theory of new regionalism and the concept of multipolarity. The methodological basis of the study is also formed by systemic, actor and institutional approaches of global studies.

Key words: European Union, global governance, geopolitical approach, globalization of political processes, regionalization of political processes, multipolarity.

LONG-RANGE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLESIN THE UKRAINE-RUSSIA ARMED CONFLICT

The article considers that in 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the materials of the German newspaper Bild, will be able to strike Russian targets in the Urals and even in the Arctic using long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, these UAVs and components for their assembly in Ukraine will be supplied by 10 Western companies. It has been established that by supplying UAVs, the collective West is trying to avoid the emergence of a regional war with the direct participation of NATO countries and continue the Ukraine-Russia war to ensure the depletion of Russia's resources necessary to achieve the goals of a special military operation. It is noted that for Ukraine, UAVs are weapons for committing terrorist acts on the territory of Russia. The United States and NATO countries are direct sponsors and technical accomplices of terrorist acts through the supply of UAVs. It is shown that at present there is a threat of nuclear terrorism from Ukraine in relation to Russia, and the level of this threat is quite high. It has been established that the United States, forming information support for Ukrainian UAVs, participates in terrorist acts on the territory of Russia. It is emphasized that the conclusion of some Western experts that missiles are the past, the future of UAVs is very controversial. It was noted that the armed conflict in Ukraine for NATO countries is a testing ground for new weapons of destruction, information and control systems, communication systems and target designations. It has been established that by striking deep into Russia with the help of UAVs, Ukraine wants to destabilize the internal situation in the country, cause dissatisfaction with the state authorities, undermine the economy of the state, and influence the moral and psychological climate in the country. Such strikes, according to US experts, can be a catalyst for the "color revolution" in Russia. In conclusion, it was noted that Russia needs a new air defense structure and the supply of new means of hitting air targets in the necessary quantities.'

Key words: long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, regional war, hybrid war, international terrorism, nuclear terrorism, special military operation, "color revolution", information support.

RUSSIA'S RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN COUNTRIES: HISTORY AND CURRENT STATE

The article examines the main stages in the development of Russia's relations with African countries. The Soviet period laid the foundation for Russian-African cooperation, but the difficulties of the 1990s led to a sharp reduction in contacts. The initiatives of the early 2000s were scattered, and the priority of Africa did not change in Russia's foreign policy concepts during a long period. The turning point can be considered the period of the late 2000s - early 2010s, when Russia again began to pursue an active foreign policy course in the African direction. The Russia-Africa Forums held in 2019 and 2023 were a significant success of Russian diplomacy. The interest of political, scientific and business circles in the African continent has noticeably increased. The author concludes that, although there are some difficulties in cooperation with Africa (lack of funding, freezing of some projects), this direction of Russia's foreign policy continues its dynamic development.

Key words: Russia, Africa, military cooperation, concept of foreign policy.
