CONCEPT I.A. ILYIN "ON RESISTANCE TO EVIL BY FORCE" IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN POLITICAL RADICALISM

The article deals with the problems of combating modern manifestations of socio-political extremism, radicalism and terrorism in the context of the concept put forward in the early 1920s by the famous Russian philosopher and political thinker I.A. Ilyin "On resistance to evil by force". As the basis for the analysis, approaches to the problem of the relationship between politics and morality are considered within the framework of such basic paradigms as "Machiavellian", "Weberian", "humanistic", "postmodernist". There are such main vectors of "resistance to evil" of radicalism and extremism as: "rehabilitation of evil", "political and managerial", "value-socializing", "systemic-social".

In the final part of the work, the possibilities of forming a new political and ideological approach to the problem of combating "evil" in political activity are analyzed, which provide developments in the field of political philosophy, political ethology, and biopolitics.

Key words: national security, political radicalism, extremism, violence, non-violence, paradigms of the relationship between politics and morality, vectors of development of extremism, political ethology, biopolitics, political philosophy.

LIBERAL OPTIMISM AND THE CRISIS OF THE IDEOLOGY OF LIBERALISM: AXIOLOGICAL ASPECT

The article is devoted to the study of the ideology of liberalism, which, having legalized in the political and legal field of many civilized states in the form of normative consolidation of the rule of law, constitutional government, market economy, private property, protection of civil rights and freedoms, in the socio-spiritual sphere was transformed into its extreme form – libertarianism, absolutizing the idea of freedom of human manifestation in society, religion, art, ethics, aesthetics, customs, culture, declaring it as freedom "without shores". If the values of liberalism in the political sphere or economics can be reasonably limited by the rules of law, then due to the fact that the spiritual sphere of human being is outside the normative regulation, today it is more subject to reassessment of its substantive foundations, the process of reformatting, and therefore needs to be protected from the standpoint of traditional values. The clash of conservative ideas of different nations about the correct organization of public life with the imposition by the Euro-Atlantic civilization of a “new” system of liberal values in a quasi-scientific and quasi-ethical way caused a crisis of the very philosophy and ideology of liberalism. The basic values of classical liberalism, which were considered the highest achievement of human history, have reached their apogee in the politics of many European states and the United States and have lost their moral and ethical foundation. At the same time, the internal contradictions of these states, as well as their external manifestations in international politics, have escalated to military conflicts and require a deep critical analysis. Revealing the essence of modern political radicalism and motivation, from which new ideologemes have been formed, will make it possible to determine the political trend for the peaceful settlement of conflicts that have arisen and to harmonize interstate relations.

Key words: liberalism, free will, personality, individual, human rights, liberal democracy.

THE EVOLUTION OF GEOPOLITICAL THEORY: FROM GEOGRAPHICAL DETERMINISM TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF SPACE

The purpose of this article is to study the process of development of the theoretical and methodological principles of geopolitics as a field of knowledge. The object of study is geopolitical theory in its evolutionary dynamics. In the process of research, a general systematization of geopolitical theory is carried out. Geopolitics is divided into classical and modern, which in turn is also divided into neoclassical direction and critical geopolitics. As a result, it was possible to highlight the key differences between classical geopolitical theory and modern trends in geopolitics. The methodological basis of classical geopolitics is the principle of geographical determinism, when geographical location is the main variable for explaining the behavior of a state in the international arena. A systematic analysis of modern geopolitical theory has shown that for a better geopolitical analysis it is necessary to use such variables as economic potential, which manifested itself in such a direction as geoeconomics. In addition, modern geopolitics analyzes such factors as demographic potential, level of technological development, civilization specifics. The geographical factor is understood as a determining one. A separate trend in modern geopolitical theory is critical geopolitics. Within the framework of this postmodern direction, the deconstruction of ideas about geopolitics as a field of knowledge is carried out. Considering various geopolitical structures as the result of a certain discourse and geopolitical imagination, critical geopolitics seeks to study first of all the social and political factors that influence the establishment of a particular geopolitical discourse and its direct influence on geopolitical practice. Therefore, the methodology of critical geopolitics is based on discourse analysis used to study the mechanisms of construction of geopolitical reality. Thus, on the basis of the studied material, it was possible to come to the conclusion about the increase in the research capabilities of modern geopolitics, in which both quantitative and qualitative research is used today.

Key words: geopolitics, modern geopolitics, geostrategy, theory, methodology.

N.K. MIKHAILOVSKY'S CONCEPT OF LIBERAL SOCIALISM: FROM THE FIRST SUCCESSORS TO THE MODERN CIVIL SOCIETY IN RUSSIA

The article is devoted to the formulation of problems revealing the ideological foundations of the liberal-socialist initiatives of the neo-populist parties of the «Enes» and «SRs» as the first followers of N.K. Mikhailovsky in the early 20th century in Russia, as well as the applicability of the conceptual complex of his ideas to the analysis of social processes in the Soviet and modern Russian experience. The author actualises the role of N.K. Mikhailovsky as an "icon of Populism" and a reference point both in philosophical-methodological and political-ideological directions. The study reveals the main programme provisions and methodological features of the «Enes» and «SRs» parties, clarifies the nature of transformation projects, the role of the state, the intelligentsia and the people. Through historical analysis and modelling, the possibilities of liberal-socialist constructions are considered in an alternative way, both in the economic experience of the Soviet state (cooperative activity) and in the rethinking of the pair of liberalism-socialism in the socio-political interaction between the authorities and citizens (proactive democratic civil platform) in modern Russian society.

Key words: intelligentsia, liberal nationalism, ideology, socialist transformations, people, cooperative, democratisation, political institutions, paternalism, civic activism.

SOVIET VISUAL PROPAGANDA DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR

This article is devoted to the study of the impact on the mass consciousness of visual propaganda in one of the most difficult and tragic periods of Russian history – the Great Patriotic War. Visual propaganda of 1941-1945 is considered as a factor that had a positive impact on the psycho-emotional state of Soviet society, contributing to its mobilization and consolidation on the way to victory. Based on the analysis of the content of the main means of visual propaganda – a political poster, the authors identify its main themes and trace the changes in the context of the processes and events that took place. It is noted that the effectiveness of the poster was due to the institutionalization of propaganda in the early years of Soviet power and the availability of appropriate managerial experience. From the very beginning of the war, there was a material and technical base, experienced and talented artists worked. Attention is drawn to the accessibility of distribution and perception of the poster. The complete reliability of the information posted about the situation on the fronts, especially in the initial period of the Great Patriotic War, was a new characteristic of the Soviet political poster. The appearance of groups of political posters devoted to new tasks and phenomena arising as the military-political situation develops is traced. These are themes of heroism and heroism, protection and salvation, grief, revenge, liberation and restoration, glory, liberating warriors, Victory. The authors conclude that throughout the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet political poster had a positive impact on the morale of Soviet citizens, supported courage and strengthened faith in victory in full accordance with the natural desire to protect and liberate their Homeland.

Key words: Soviet propaganda, the Great Patriotic War, political poster, impact on mass consciousness, historical experience.

THE SECTS IN THE TAURIDA DIOCESE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURY

The Tauride diocese was organized on the territory of the Tauride province and consisted of the territory of the Crimean peninsula, as well as the Melitopol, Dnieper and Berdyansk districts. Long before the founding of the diocese, various sects began to spread in this region. The purpose of this article is to consider the sects that spread on the territory of the Tauride diocese in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, their religious teachings and social status. For this, the corresponding tasks were set: to identify the sects that are widespread in the diocese; show the features of the structure of sectarian communities and their dogma; analyze their development in the diocese. The following methods were used in the work: induction and deduction, the historical and chronological method, the method of a systematic approach. The methodological basis of the study was based on the principles of historicism, scientific character and objectivity. In the course of the study, the following results were obtained. Rationalist and mystical sects, as well as sects of Protestant origin, were widespread on the territory of the Taurida diocese in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The largest number of adherents at different times were Doukhobors, Molokans, Stundists, Stundo-Baptists, Eunuchs, Baptists, Mennonites. According to the results of the study, the corresponding conclusions were drawn. Sectarianism on the territory of the Taurida diocese began to emerge before the foundation of an independent diocese. The reasons for its spread among the local population include religious quests and differences of opinion, reformation ideas that acted as an alternative to Orthodoxy. The sectarians did not recognize the Orthodox dogma and rituals. With the outbreak of the First World War, the sects were characterized by an outflow of their adherents. This subsequently led to the extinction of many Tauride sects.

Key words: Taurida diocese, sectarianism, rationalistic sects, mystical sects, Protestantism.

POLITICAL WORK TO EDUCATE THE PERSONNEL OF THE RED ARMY ON THE TRADITIONS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY DURING THE PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION EAST PRUSSIAN OFFENSIVE OPERATION 1945

The purpose of this scientific article was to study the political work with the personnel of the Red Army during the preparation and conduct of the longest strategic offensive operation of the Soviet troops in 1945 – the East Prussian. The main attention in the publication is paid to the issues of political work carried out by the military administration bodies on the education of Soviet soldiers on domestic combat traditions during the East Prussian Strategic Offensive operation of 1945. It is stated that by the time of the East Prussian operation, from the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the basis of educational work in the Soviet troops was an appeal to Russian military traditions. The East Prussian operation was preceded by the establishment of military awards named after famous Russian commanders, the return of shoulder straps, the rank of "guards" and the concept of "officers". The article focuses on the special importance of purposeful political work with personnel in connection with the special strategic objectives of the East Prussian military operation. Political work was based on historical lessons of the fighting of the Russian army in East Prussia during the First World War. The military-political tasks were justified, among other things, by the need to avenge the blood of Russian soldiers shed in East Prussia. The victory in the East Prussian military operation was the result, among other things, of substantial military-political work, which was based on an appeal to the centuries-old Russian military traditions. It is emphasized that the current military-political situation in the world urgently requires the study and creative application of the experience of military-political work accumulated during the Great Patriotic War.

Key words: the Great Patriotic War, military traditions, political work, East Prussian strategic offensive operation, education of personnel.

IMAGE OF THE FUTURE IN MODERN RUSSIA: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND SPECIFICITY OF POLITICAL ANALYSIS

The article is devoted to conceptual foundations of the political understanding of the image of the future in modern Russia. It is noted that the most productive view on the image of the future is based on its interpretation as a component of national-state identity, a value-semantic frame that acts as a mechanism for positive and long-term consolidation of society. It is emphasized that the basic parameters of the image of the future, which ensure its stability, are semantic variability, polycentricity and integrative orientation. A comprehensive analysis of the collective image of the future emerging in today's Russia should involve taking into account such key factors as the multi-component nature of Russian society, the presence of intergenerational divisions in it, and the impact of digital transformation on the political consciousness of Russian citizens.

Key words: image of the future, national-state identity, identity politics, Russian youth, political socialization.

THE PROBLEM OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION AS A POLITICAL PRIORITY AND THE PRIORITIES OF CHINA'S POLICY IN THE FIELD OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

In the work the author addresses the problem of preschool education as a political priority. The problem and contradiction here is that, despite the decisive and universally recognized importance of preschool education in the development of children, ensuring their well-being, preschool education is almost never considered in the context of political management and public policy, while other levels of education attract much more attention from politicians. Preschool education rarely becomes an object of study in political science, traditionally remaining the object of study in pedagogical sciences. Without analyzing the reasons for such an undeserved "exclusion" of preschool education from the subject field of political science, the author turns to an analysis of China's policy priorities in the field of preschool education, emphasizing that education (including preschool education) in China is not only not neutral, on the contrary, it is rather political in nature. This actualizes the consideration of the relationship between education and the state and the study of education in general and preschool education, in particular, within the framework of not only pedagogical, but also political sciences.

Key words: politics, political sciences, preschool education in the context of political sciences, preschool education policy, China's policy in the field of preschool education.

It should be emphasized that in recent years, the scientific community has begun to apply a gender approach to the study of this topic, which offers women a completely new and unique perspective on political participation. However, this approach also depends on initial research, as well as on the lack of depth of current research for further expansion and deepening.

The team of authors presented an analysis of the following problems of the functioning of domestic science in the system of sanctions: massive refusals of Western countries to publish the results of scientific works of domestic specialists; reduction, and sometimes even a complete suspension of international cooperation in the scientific field; cancellation of international events that were supposed to take place on the territory of our country; exclusion of domestic representatives from the governing bodies of a number of international scientific organizations; disconnection from information sources that are under the patronage of foreign institutional units; termination or radical increase in the cost of supplied foreign equipment, which is necessary for scientific research; curtailment of training and internship programs for domestic specialists in foreign scientific centers; restriction, and sometimes even a direct ban on visiting domestic scientific centers by foreign specialists, which also contributes to the isolation of Russian science and reduces the potential for its development. To substantiate the conclusions drawn, an analytical diagnostics of statistical material was performed that characterizes the volume of foreign financing of scientific developments in the Russian Federation, the share of foreign sources in the total volume of financing of scientific developments in the Russian Federation, and the dynamics of expenses for the import of scientific research equipment in the Russian Federation.

Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to study the problems and specifics of the functioning of Russian science in the context of sanctions and political tensions. Achieving this goal is the result of solving the following list of tasks:

– to focus the main problems of the development of Russian science in the context of sanctions;

– highlight the key vectors of pressure from unfriendly countries on domestic science;

– substantiate the prospects and potential for the destructive impact of sanctions in the short term for the scientific community;

– to characterize the possibilities for the development of Russian science within the framework of a negative political background.

Results of the study: the work of the team of authors presents a general assessment of the main problems of the development of Russian science in the context of sanctions, which includes the study of the most relevant tools of external pressure on the scientific space, among which one can single out the massive refusals of Western countries to publish the results of scientific works of domestic specialists, limiting international cooperation in the scientific field, the cancellation of international events that were supposed to take place on the territory of our country, the exclusion of domestic representatives from the governing bodies of a number of international scientific organizations, restriction of access to international sources of information, a ban on the supply of scientific equipment, minimization of scientific communications.

Key words: science, sanctions, Russia, education, international cooperation, scientific development, scientific environment.

DIRECTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT OF STATE CULTURAL POLICY: FROM PROTECTION OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE TO LEADERSHIP IN CULTURAL INNOVATIONS

This article discusses the directions of development of modern state cultural policy in terms of protecting traditional culture, as well as introducing innovations in the field of arts. The author gives a brief description of China's cultural policy, as well as the concept of "soft power" as a new means of changing the state image. As a result, it was found that the Chinese government has made significant efforts to strengthen its soft power and improve the efficiency of state policy in the field of culture. It is worth noting that it takes time to create soft power, but once its impact is achieved, such attraction and persuasion generates long-term changes. Cultural efforts help build a good reputation for China and have the potential to combat stereotypes about China, which will then boost its economic development by attracting more foreign investors and tourists to the country. At the same time, it helps build trust in the homeland among Chinese citizens and promotes a sense of belonging between themselves and the nation. This also applies to soft power with Chinese characteristics, which scholars discuss, stating that the Chinese soft power project emphasizes the creation of an international reputation and the creation of a modern society at home.

Key words: culture, politics, state, innovations, traditions, protection.

STATE SOCIAL POLICY AND STAGING SOCIAL ISSUE IN THE PROGRAMS OF RUSSIAN POLITICAL PARTIES

The article analyzes the role of the welfare state in solving the social issue, as well as the formulation of this problem in the programs of Russian political parties. It is noted that not all Russian parties have a social program, despite the fact that political parties have the opportunity to formulate the main directions of social policy and implement them. The program documents of such parties as United Russia, Just Russia, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are the most informative. Pension provision is the most demanded by political parties, therefore, each program contains proposals for its solution. It should be noted that not all political parties offer real plans for improving pensions, many party documents contain criticism and rhetorical exclamations. The issue of social insurance is considered by the parties to a lesser extent. We can note the specific proposals of the parties "United Russia" and the Liberal Democratic Party. The article concludes about the important role of social policy programs for the political future of parties.

Key words: welfare state, social policy, social insurance, pension provision, social support, social projects.

FEATURES AND POTENTIAL OF THE IMPACT OF THE SANCTION POLICY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Introduction: the article discusses the most relevant aspects of the influence of the sanctions policy of unfriendly countries on the system of higher education in Russia. The team of authors concludes that the sanctions in general had a negative impact on the functioning of the domestic system of higher education, but at the same time formed a certain window of opportunity for its transformation, taking into account national interests and state priorities. The current difficulties are temporary and do not have significant destructive consequences, and building a sovereign vector for the development of the higher education system is an essential element in the implementation of the national security strategy. Geopolitical turbulence has once again shown the complete unscrupulousness and unreliability of Western partners who sacrifice long-term relationships in the higher education system to local political ambitions. Thus, at this stage, the most important strategic task of developing and implementing a new concept for the development of the Russian education system is being formed before the relevant state authorities and political elites of the country, which should guard historical justice, national values, and also ensure the protection of the future generation within the framework of a hybrid war.

Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to consider the features and potential impact of the sanctions policy on the development of the higher education system in Russia. Achieving this goal is the result of solving the following list of tasks:

– highlight the main directions of the sanctions pressure of unfriendly countries on the system of higher education in Russia;

– to substantiate the prospects for using the instruments of sanctions pressure of unfriendly countries on the functioning of the system of domestic higher education;

– to formulate the key problems of the functioning of the country's higher education system under the conditions of sanctions and to construct probabilistic ways to solve them;

– to carry out diagnostics of statistical material characterizing the potential impact of sanctions on the higher education system of the Russian Federation.

Results of the study: the team of authors summarized the main directions and features of the influence of the sanctions of unfriendly countries on the development of the higher education system in Russia. Within the framework of the study, the main consequences and results of the sanctions pressure of unfriendly countries in this context include: discrimination of students on the basis of nationality in universities of unfriendly countries and expulsion of Russian students, the maximum reduction in opportunities for Russians to study in educational institutions of unfriendly countries, restriction of international exchange of students, in including in the form of internships, which in a certain sense leads to the impoverishment of the educational process in the Russian Federation and a decrease in its practice-oriented potential, the almost complete freezing of partnerships between educational organizations, the departure of individual representatives of the foreign academic environment from the domestic education system, the potential departure of individual domestic teachers abroad for conducting academic courses, the formation of an aura of toxicity of the relative domestic system of higher education and the received attestation documents on the basis of successful completion of academic courses, as well as access to international online platforms is closed for Russian students, which reduces the potential of the educational process, reduces the opportunities for obtaining information and exchange of results of scientific activities, the largest international educational online platforms closed access for students to Russian educational programs.

Key words: higher education, sanctions, Russia, international cooperation, educational potential, educational space.

DIGITAL HEALTH POLICY AND PECULIARITIES OF THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE IN SURGERY

Introduction: the article discusses the features of the use of telemedicine in surgery in the wake of expanding the potential of digital policy at the present stage of development of the healthcare system. The adaptation of digital technologies and interactive platforms is a key trend in the current stage of development of the healthcare system. The use of digital platform solutions contributes to an increase in the efficiency and quality of medical services, which is especially important in the context of a deteriorating sanitary and epidemiological situation. In this regard, the domestic authorities are facing an important task in the vector of promoting digital technologies in the healthcare system while minimizing the risks of information security. The use of telemedicine has its own characteristics in each area of the health care system. The use of digital technologies in surgery is becoming increasingly important, which contribute to improving the accuracy of preoperative diagnostics, and also actively participate directly in surgical intervention procedures. Expanding the capacity of using telemedicine in surgery is a breakthrough direction for maximizing the effectiveness of surgical intervention. In some cases, it is telemedicine technologies that generate the necessary set of factors for successful treatment of patients. The integration of telemedicine into surgery is necessary to build a progressive track for the evolution of this area of the healthcare system and requires the constant growth of a wide range of professional competencies of medical workers.

Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to consider the key directions in the development of digital health care policy and to study the features of the use of telemedicine in surgery. Achieving this goal is the result of solving the following list of tasks:

– substantiate the relevance of the use of digital technologies in the healthcare system;

– highlight the key aspects of the modern development policy of domestic telemedicine;

– to characterize the features of the use of telemedicine in surgery.

Results of the study: the author concludes that it is necessary to expand the potential of using digital technologies in the modern domestic healthcare system to improve the quality and efficiency of medical services. As a result of the analytical diagnostics, the presence of a positive trend in the perception of digital technologies in the healthcare sector by the population was highlighted. The study revealed the features of the use of telemedicine in surgery, which confirm the hypothesis about the relevance of expanding the potential of using this tool in the organization of surgical intervention. The use of telemedicine technologies in surgical procedures greatly increases the likelihood of achieving a positive result in the focus of saving the life and health of the patient.

Key words: telemedicine, healthcare, digital technologies, digitalization, digital policy, surgery, medical services.

BUDDHISM IN WORLD POLITICS

The article considers the participation of Buddhism in the world political process. Being an integral part of Asian cultures, Buddhism as a factor of identity exerts a significant influence on social and political life of the Buddhist countries. Buddha’s teaching is characterized by flexibility and adaptability to different cultural environments. In addition to the traditional Buddhist branches of Mahayana and Theravada the global or transnational Buddhism, free from the context of cultural traditions, is developing.

Buddhist political doctrine is based on the teaching of the Chakravartin – the noble ruler – the guardian of Buddhist teachings and the patron of Dharma. The presence of personal merits forms the basis for legitimizing the power of the sovereign according to the Buddhist concept. It is noted that the ideology of the Buddhist Dharmic state remains open to interpretations within the Mahayana and Theravada traditions. The principle of «ahimsa» (Sanskrit: «non-harm», «nonviolence») is being explored as a fundamental principle of Buddhism, which implies rejection of harming living beings. The article considers the potential of Buddhism in the context of implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The author explores the phenomenon of Buddhist diplomacy.

On the example of the Buddhist-Muslim conflict in Myanmar, the problem of distortion of Buddhist teaching is considered. It is concluded that Buddhism in its nationalized forms becomes part of the worldview based on the «friend-foe» dichotomy and thereby undergoes significant deformation under the influence of local socio-political and economic conditions.

The article considers the main platforms of interaction between Buddhist confessions. It is concluded that, unlike transformed, politicized forms, traditional Buddhist teaching possess a huge peacemaking potential. Based on the principle of ahimsa and mutual responsibility, Buddhism can contribute to the effective conflict resolution.

Key words: Buddhism, ahimsa, Buddhist civilization, Buddhist diplomacy, Dalai Lama, Tibet, Myanmar, World Fellowship of Buddhists, Asian Buddhist Conference for Peace.

PRODUCT APPROACH IN DESIGNING THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF EURASIAN INTEGRATION

The product methodology in the work will be revealed from the standpoint of constructing the attractiveness of Eurasian integration, its meanings and values for the international community. The uniqueness of the application of the product methodology in building external relations of states lies in the focus on managing the chain of creation of products that have value for integration. Not all modern projects in the field of interstate cooperation have a significant effect on integration. This effect is difficult to quantify, it is determined by dedication, involvement in specific interstate structures, as well as their assessment and semantic content. The result of the Eurasian integration, according to the author of the article, should primarily form a value for the participants of this process, projected on a national scale. The article analyzes the situation of uncertainty in which international Eurasian processes arrive and develop, and also identifies the main "pains" that hinder Eurasian integration in the context of the current world agenda, and offers solutions for their "treatment".

Key words: Eurasian integration, product approach, value, interstate cooperation, tools.

A CRITICAL STUDY OF WESTERN DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM – TAKING AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM AS AN EXAMPLE

Democracy is the basis of the discourse of modern Western politics, from the moment the concept appeared to the present day at the level of the "hierarchy of values", a complex process has taken place. After the bourgeois Revolution in England, the American War of Independence and the French Revolution, the developed modern Western countries were raised to "arrogant values". At the same time, all countries of the world also imply "institutional democracy" as the main international moral principle "beyond borders". However, in practice, the institutional vector that Western countries, led by the United States, rely on is still a representative democracy characterized by representation and elections, and objectively far from meeting people's expectations regarding democracy. In addition, due to the great cultural differences between the countries of the world and the fact that "democratic issues" were arbitrarily used by some countries with ulterior motives, this led to large disputes between countries, serious interstate conflicts. The article attempts, within the framework of the approach of the ideological and logical source of "democracy", in combination with relevant political theories, as well as history and practice, to try to explain the true values of democracy and its shortcomings in the Western style. The article analyzes the interests of various US political parties and groups, their political platforms in the context of democratic procedures, which is insufficiently studied in Russian historiography. The purpose of the study is to propose some possible directions for the democratic development of the international community on the basis of scientific analysis.

Key words: Western democracy, criticism, US democratic policy, US history.

MAIN VECTORS OF PRC MODERN INFORMATION POLICY: PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

This article is devoted to the study of the basics of information policy of the People's Republic of China, which the country's leadership began to actively promote after the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012. It was then that the main goal of China's information policy was to become a "Strong Network State". Thus, the basics of the information policy pursued by the Chinese leadership were defined by the increasing role of state and non-state actors in the digital environment, including the media and various transnational corporations. The main objective pursued by the PRC leadership in its information policy is to ensure the country's information security and to create conditions in which the state can control the flows of information that appear in the digital environment and in which the digitalisation of the state's political life will occur. The relevance of this study is due to the increased academic interest in studying the basics of information policy of various countries, including the PRC, as one of the largest markets for IT technologies and services. Thus, the main directions of modern information policy in the People's Republic of China (PRC) are related to digitalisation, information control, the development of a digital political environment and the use of social media as a tool for state-society interaction.

THE SECURITY CONCEPT OF THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION

With the end of the Cold War, calls for a change in the traditional concept of security are heard more clearly. In this regard, today each actor in international relations is developing new concepts of security that correspond to their specific development. Since its inception, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (hereinafter SCO) has given priority to security relations, including research on this topic. At present, however, the attention of the academic community is focused on practices, while research on theoretical aspects is incomplete. The current SCO security system is based on the New Security Concept, which is expressed through the notion of the Shanghai Spirit. This paper compares the SCO security concept with other security concepts within international relations theory by analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, which may contribute to theoretical research in this field and further improve the organization's security strategy.

Key words: Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), security concept, New Security Concept, Shanghai Spirit.

RUSSIAN SOFT POWER IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE

Soft power is an important foreign policy tool that allows a country to influence other states not by force, but through the recognition of ideals, values and culture. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has faced challenges in maintaining its influence in the newly independent states. According to the modern foreign policy strategy of Russia, which was approved in 2000, the post-Soviet space is the highest priority for our country. One of the main tasks of foreign policy is to create a favorable image of the country among the peoples living in the post-Soviet space. The soft power of Russia has a great influence on various aspects of life in the countries of the post-Soviet space. It helps to strengthen cultural, educational and economic ties, contributes to the settlement of political conflicts and the development of mutual understanding. The use of soft power is a fundamental element of Russia's foreign policy and proves its desire to establish stable and trusting relations with the countries of the region.

Key words: soft power, post-Soviet space, cultural diplomacy, foreign policy of Russia, CIS.

HOW THE GIEDROYC-MIEROSZEWSKI DOCTRINE EVALUATED BY RUSSIAN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS LITERATURE: AN EXAMPLE OF COUNTER-SECURITIZATION

The ULB Doctrine, developed by Jerzy Giedroyc and Juliusz Mieroszewski during the Cold War, ties Polish independence and security to that of the countries of the ULB region, which are Ukraine, Lithuania, and Belarus. This line of thought is generally considered positive by Western/Polish IR literature since any kind of historical revanchism and one regarding borders towards these countries is denounced. Attitude of the doctrine is cautious towards Russia, which may turn out a potential threat to Polish statehood in the future according to the theory, but again any kind of revanchism is denounced. Solution of this geopolitical bottleneck is found in strong cooperation with the ULB countries and in the promotion of Western values in Poland, the ULB countries, and Russia. The ULB doctrine has generally been critically received, if not completely negatively, by Russian IR literature. Most basic explanation would be the conflict of interests between Russia and Poland over the ULB region. I propose that discursive dynamics of the said conflict of interests can be understood in terms of securitization and counter-securitization committed by the ULB doctrine and contemporary Polish foreign policy, and Russian IR literature, respectively. The ULB doctrine commits an act of securitization by demarcating the region, meanwhile contemporary Polish foreign policy takes it even further and independently. In this case, Russian IR literature’s criticism of the doctrine can be accepted as an example of counter-securitization.

Key words: Counter-securitization, The ULB Doctrine, Polish-Russian Relations, Jerzy Giedroyc, Juliusz Mieroszewski, Prometheism, Eastern Partnership.

ANTI-COLONIAL RHETORIC IN THE FRAMEWORK OF RUSSIA'S USE OF THE CONCEPT OF "DISCOURSE POWER": OPPORTUNITIES AND LIMITATIONS

The paper touches upon the problem of search for a concept that could be used to systematize efforts aimed at exercizing foreign policy influence by non-coercive methods. Considering the fact that there exists a discussion regarding the relevance of the "soft power" concept and its applicability in the modern geopolitical realia, the author proposes to turn to the Chinese concept of "discourse power". The article examines the essence and gives examples of this concept as well as argues that the Russian "discourse power" can be based on anti-colonial rhetoric. A brief review of several speeches and publications of Russian officials on the subject of the fight against colonialism is provided. In addition, the author analyzes the advantages and possible risks of using anti-colonial rhetoric within Russian foreign policy: the former include a solid historical basis, positive perception from the countries of the Global South and the opportunity for an interpretation of the causes and events of the Ukrainian crisis alternative to the Western one, while the latter include a certain ideological contradiction between the Russian political system and the traditionally left-wing nature of anti-colonial discourse, insufficient economic support and the possibility of using anti-colonial themes against Russia itself.

Key words: discourse power, soft power, anti-colonialism, Russian foreign policy.

DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIAN-CHINESE RELATIONS IN THE MODERN WORLD

Russia's relations with China occupy one of the most important places in Russian politics. This is due to geographical proximity, the place of the People's Republic of China in the world economy and its potential, and its influence on the international situation. At this stage, relations with China are becoming increasingly important for the Russian Federation, which is under international sanctions and considers China as a country that can help it solve a number of problems that have arisen in the economic, foreign policy and other spheres. The Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China are building their strategic partnership on the basis of common national interests and on the basis of the historical experience of four centuries of neighborhood. The level of development of Russian-Chinese relations is characterized by stability, maturity and mutual trust. Differences in the level of development of national economies do not prevent the two countries from maintaining a dialogue based on equality, trust and mutual benefit. This article describes the development of Russian-Chinese relations, describes the nature of cooperation between the two countries at the present stage, examines the challenges and problems arising from the point of view of the economic and political sphere of international relations between Russia and China.

COVID-19 AS A GLOBAL POLITICAL CHALLENGE: CONTENT AND MAIN TRENDS

The study is devoted to the study of the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global political dynamics. It is stated that the pandemic, being a global global challenge, acted as a catalyst for such trends as the growing crisis of the unifying Western-centric model of globalization and the increasing fragmentation of the «global world», the accelerated formation of new geopolitical and geo-economic regions, which are largely reflected in the «vaccine areas». Special attention should also be paid to the growth of political influence of non-state actors: first of all, transnational corporations whose activities are related to countering the pandemic. Among the indicated trends, a special place is occupied by systematic attempts of opportunistic use of the «pandemic factor», including for purely instrumental electoral purposes.

Key words: COVID-19, pandemic, global peace, medical diplomacy, «vaccine areas».

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RULING COMMUNIST PARTY OF VIETNAM IN THE PERIOD 1945-1988

The article points out the characteristics of the Communist Party of Vietnam in its leadership role for the State and society of Vietnam in the period 1945-1988. For the period 1945 to 1954, when the Democratic Republic of Vietnam declared its independence, the ruling characteristics of the Communist Party of Vietnam were mainly expressed through its diplomatic and revolutionary lines to fight against French invasion. For the period 1954 to 1975, faced with the nature of the country being temporarily divided into two regions (North and South), the ruling characteristics of the Communist Party of Vietnam were evident in the process of solving the tasks of each region and the whole country, both to develop the economy in the North and to fight the revolution in the South. For the period 1975 to 1988, as Vietnam was peaceful, independent, and unified in both the North and the South, the ruling characteristics of the Communist Party of Vietnam clearly showed its advantages and limitations. Going through different periods with different historical characteristics, the Communist Party of Vietnam has made adjustments in its ruling role to meet the specific goals of each period. With the results achieved, the Communist Party of Vietnam has maintained its ruling position over the State and Society of Vietnam until now.

THE UNITED STATES AND PAKISTAN AS EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE RUSSIAN-INDIAN-CHINESE TRILATERAL RELATIONS

With the end of the Cold War and growing pressure from the United States, Russia, India and China began to actively cooperate, which eventually led to the creation of the RIC group (Russia-India-China). The article deals with the problems of modern Russian-Indian-Chinese trilateral relations. The purpose of the article is to identify the main external factors influencing the development of Russian-Indian-Chinese trilateral relations. Special attention is paid to the influence of the USA and Pakistan on the existing "triangle". The analysis of the key factors affecting the relations between Russia, India and China makes it possible to determine the key directions of the development of international relations between Russia, India and China. The analysis showed that the United States and Pakistan at different times played a role in promoting/inhibiting trilateral cooperation. The interaction of trilateral relations should be considered from the point of view of "3+1" or "3+n", and attention should be paid to the partial overlap of the set of trilateral relations.

Key words: Russia, India, China, USA, Pakistan, Trilateral Relations.

A.D. SAKHAROV'S INFLUENCE ON PERESTROIKA IN THE USSR

The purpose of the study: to find out exactly what ideas Sakharov proposed long before perestroika in the USSR. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to perform the following tasks:

1) get acquainted with Sakharov's biography and his political works;

2) conduct a political and textual analysis of the work "About the country and the World" (1975);

3) to analyze the video recording of Sakharov's speech at the "1st Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR" in 1989;

4) conduct a political and textual analysis of Sakharov's "Decree on Power".

Increasingly, provocative nuclear ultimatums are being heard from the mouths of officials of post-Soviet countries. The largest players are forced to respond to such attacks in a timely manner not only to consolidate their authority in the system of international relations, but also to strengthen territories and preserve the parity of nuclear forces. Without a timely constructive reaction, the same thing can happen to the state that happened to the USSR in the 90s. Mikhail Gorbachev used the ideas of A.D. Sakharov, which led to the collapse of the USSR. The result of the study is conclusions about Sakharov's contribution to perestroika. Sakharov's influence consisted in his definition and clear formulation of the measures necessary for the reform of the USSR. The list of these measures included economic (independence of enterprises, denationalization of services, light industry and decollectivization, the right to strike, free exchange of the ruble for foreign currency, restriction of the monopoly of foreign trade), socio-political (amnesty of political prisoners, abolition of the death penalty, etc., multiparty system, equality of all citizens, freedom to choose a place to live, etc. works; freedom of opinion, freedom of conscience, freedom of information dissemination, publicity, etc.) reforms ("About the country and the World", 1975). Sakharov's contribution to determining the prerogatives of the highest state authorities, the federal territorial-state structure of the country, the electoral and judicial systems is also significant ("Crisis of People's Trust", "Decree on Power", 1989). Research method: historical and political analysis.

Key words: Perestroika, reforms, Decree on power, speech "crisis of people's trust", legislative acts, collapse of the USSR, constitution, glasnost, Congress of Deputies, head of the Supreme Council, denationalization, decollectivization, freedom of speech, political prisoners, modern liberalism in Russia, judicial system, Gorbachev, Bonner.

THE IDEOLOGY OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

The absence of a state ideology in Russia negatively prevents the population from uniting and mobilizing to achieve socially significant goals for the sake of the country's future. Both representatives of science and high-ranking Russian officials talk about the need for a state ideology. But at present, only the foundations of ideology have been proposed, which are the values traditional for our country. The article proposes to develop an ideology based on the highest priority value, namely spiritual, with the main goal – the spiritual development of every citizen. The proposed ideology expresses the interests not of a narrow group of people, but of the majority of the country's population.

Key words: ideology, spiritual development, traditional values.

THE DEFEAT OF THE TROOPS OF THE SATELLITE COUNTRIES OF NAZI GERMANY IN THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD: FACTS AND HISTORICAL LESSONS

The current military-political situation encourages us to turn to the study and understanding of historical experience, which allows us to draw certain analogies with modernity. There are many examples in Russian history when Russia defended its independence in a military confrontation with consolidated enemy forces. One of such tests was the Great Patriotic War, where the goal of the collective enemy was the destruction of Russian statehood as such. An appeal to the history of the Great Patriotic War is also necessary in order to expose and prevent numerous falsifications and speculations. Currently, problems related to the coalition nature of warfare are of particular interest. In this regard, it is important to define the role of the allies of fascist Germany – the "united Europe" model of the mid-twentieth century, their goals and participation in the war crimes of fascism. The armies of Nazi Germany's satellites were most fully represented in the decisive battle of the Great Patriotic War – the Battle of Stalingrad. The analysis of events related to the defeat of the satellite armies of nazi Germany at Stalingrad is one of the most important tasks of historical science. The need to strengthen Hitler's army was the main reason for the large-scale involvement of the troops of the satellite countries. Among other reasons for their defeat, an unsatisfactory moral and psychological state and mutual hostility stand out. The participation of the armies of a number of European states made the war bloody and delayed the defeat of Nazi Germany. For the satellite countries themselves, participation in the Battle of Stalingrad had extremely negative consequences, which accelerated the collapse of the fascist bloc.

Key words: the Battle of Stalingrad, the Great Patriotic War, the satellite countries of Nazi Germany, defeat, historical lessons.

KOREANS IN KAZAKHSTAN: LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY

The forced ethnic immigration policy during the Soviet era was the main reason why Koreans came to Kazakhstan, and they were completely different from other local ethnic groups in terms of language and culture. Currently, Koreans in Kazakhstan face the problem of language assimilation, but still maintain a unique identity. Since the independence of Kazakhstan, the Koreans in the country have always been the bridge of diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan and South Korea, and also an important tool of "soft power" in South Korea's diplomatic activities towards Kazakhstan.

Key words: Kazakhstan, Koreans, national politics, identity.

THE PROBLEM OF MIGRANTS IN EUROPE AS REFLECTED IN THE MEDIA (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MIGRATION CRISIS OF 2015 AND THE MIGRATION FLOW FROM UKRAINE IN 2022-2023)

The article analyzes the migration crises in Europe in the reflection of the Russian and foreign press to identify the leitmotifs and opinions that publications seek to convey to their readers. The relevance of the study is emphasized by the fact that modern media, covering events and significant social problems, form mass behavioral models and stereotypes, causing an emotional reaction from the audience and changing public opinion and the behavior of the population. The article focuses on both migration issues to cover the background of the issue under study, and the media, which reflect these processes. The study considers two chronological stages: migration in 2015 and migration in 2022-2023, briefly describes their impact on the dynamics of relations between Europeans and migrants, and socio-political consequences for the entire European society. The focus of the article is on the position of different media. A large volume of articles was analyzed, covering the indicated periods of migration in various media, and a conclusion was made about the socio-cultural and political tasks of the sources. Based on the results of the study, a conclusion was made about the position of the media in both conflicts: in 2015, the media took a more neutral position than in 2022-2023, when emotional, defiant and aggressive headlines and theses began to prevail in the information field. The authors attribute this desire to the growing degree of the country's participation in the new conflict and the acute political need to formulate common worldview standards among the Russian population on related topics (Ukraine, Europe).

Key words: Mass media, migration, European migration crisis, European society, refugees.

POLITICAL SCIENCE INTERPRETATION OF THE MYTH OF THE GOLDEN AGE POLITICAL SCIENCE INTERPRETATION OF THE MYTH OF THE GOLDEN AGE

Introduction. The political science interpretation of the myth of the golden age is of great importance for understanding modern political processes. The main task of the work is to identify the causes of its occurrence, stability at various stages of human history, as practice shows that in the era of feudalism, enlightenment and capitalism, secularization of society, periods of disillusionment with the existing order returned to its basic values. Therefore, the structure of the myth is revealed not in an idealistic, but in a rational and constructive context, which makes it possible to identify the values that guide the content of the vector of functioning of political institutions and processes.

Goals and objectives. The purpose of this work is to show the anthropological and political nature of this myth and the need to rethink it in modern conditions, the enduring significance of which can change the destructive tendencies of the global world for the better. The thesis of global collective security, the desire for wealth and rivalry between States should be replaced by the principle of global social well-being of citizens of all countries of modern humanity.

Methods. The paper uses structural-functional, analytical, classification, cultural and anthropological research methods.

Results. The basic values of this myth, community solidarity, political equality, mutual assistance, universal involvement in the creation of the common good and its dominance over private interests – all this can be considered a source and an integral part of modern ideology, the concept of a social state, social equality, welfare society. They led, and still lead to changes from bureaucratic authoritarian regimes to democratic ones. Confirmation of this fact can be considered the desire of many Western countries to organize states based on the simplicity of the internal connection between the government and society, to assert the primacy of social solidarity, equality and collective well-being.

Conclusions. The identification of the origins of the origin of this myth in the East, reflected in the ancient Eastern sacred books, and then its spread in the West, reproduction in the works of ancient Greek philosophers, Jewish and Christian religions, gives grounds to consider the myth of the golden age as the primary source of modern political and socio-cultural values.

Key words: political myth, golden age, Gobi civilization, Atlantis, Vishnu, Brahmanism, Judaism, Christianity, values, utopia, political anthropology.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE FEATURES OF WOMEN'S POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE IN THE 20th-21st CENTURIES: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

The aim of this study is to systematize the results of a systematic analysis of not only the historical features of the formation of women's leadership, but also of the direct participation of women in the political process of the UK and France in the XX-XXI centuries. This makes it possible to understand the state and specifics of women's leadership and to assess the prospects for women's representation in the high political positions of these states. The goal predetermined the formulation of the following objectives: 1) to identify the historical background of women’s representation; 2) to describe the similarities and differences between British and French women’s political leadership; 3) to identify the prospects for the development of women’s leadership in the British and French political process based on comparative analysis. To obtain scientific results among the main ones the author used the following methods: comparative-historical approach, method of mathematical statistics, biographical method, political-textual analysis of sources, case study, event analysis. The key results of the research are the following: firstly, on the issue of politicization the gender difference in the UK and France remains perceptible; secondly, the most prestigious positions, the most fully resourced authorities, are the least accessible to women in the political processes of the United Kingdom and France; thirdly, the practice of sending women to «women’s» fields of political activity began to weaken despite the still high interest of women in «peaceful» political topics. The author identified not only a number of problems hindering the advancement of women’s leadership in these countries, but also proposed recommendations to strengthen the competence of the image of the female policy.

Key words: British women’s leadership, French women’s leadership, political process.

THE BASIC LAWS OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

The article presents a comparative analysis of the Constitutions of the German and Russian Empires. The basic laws of Germany were adopted under the influence of the revolution of 1848-1849 and the unification process of the German principalities. The first basic law uniting the German lands was the Constitutional Charter of Prussia, adopted in 1850. In 1871, the Constitution of the German Empire was adopted, which can be described as federal, imperial and octroized. It is federality that distinguishes the German Constitution from the Russian One. In accordance with the Constitutions, Russia was an absolute monarchy, and Germany was a dualistic one, but monarchical principles were strong in both empires. A comparison of the powers defined by the constitutions of the two states allows us to conclude that the powers of the Russian emperor under the Constitution of 1906 were the same as the powers of the Prussian king under the Constitutional Charter of 1850, but differed from the powers of the German emperor defined by the Constitution of 1871.

Key words: the Constitutional Charter of Prussia of 1850, the Constitution of 1871, the Basic state Laws of the Russian Empire of 1906, the Little German and Great German way of unification of Germany.

SOCIETY OF THE FUTURE AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

The article shows that the next stage in the development of a post-information society will be the formation of a superintelligent society (the so-called 5.0 Society) based on the effective optimization of resources not only of one person, but of society as a whole through the integration of the physical (real) level and cyberspace (virtual level). The author notes that, on the one hand, the key aspect of this society is the creation of equal opportunities for all and providing an environment for realizing the potential of each person, and, on the other, there are serious cyber risks related to the potential probability of hacking systems that ensure the functioning of such a society, and the risks of leakage of confidential data. Based on the picture of leaks that developed in 2022, which shows a strong dependence of the state of information security on the state of world politics, the author notes that geopolitical changes in the modern world have led to an increase in the number of cyber incidents in almost all countries and this has provoked a sharp increase in the number of recorded leaks of personal data. It is concluded that the development of many advanced technologies is impossible without the use of large arrays of personal data, and as a result, currently in science there is a process of formation of a new type of applied ethics, namely data ethics (or data ethics), one of the main functions of which will be to determine the boundaries of data use, beyond which this the process will have negative consequences for a person than positive ones.

Key words: Society 5.0, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of the body, personal data, Internet of Things, Dark Web, data ethics, international information security, cyber risks.

NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT: FROM THE ORIGINS UP TO PRESENT

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been a source of regional instability and armed confrontation between Armenia and Azerbaijan for more than thirty years. The purpose of the article is to identify the features and causes of the conflict and the mechanisms for its settlement. The methodological basis of the study was made up of general scientific methods, in particular, analysis, synthesis, and the historical-genetic method. At the beginning of the article, the author considers the ratio of various factors contributing to the development and escalation of the conflict. Due to the special geostrategic position of Nagorno-Karabakh and the interest of regional powers, the conflict has become internationalized, which significantly complicates the process of its settlement. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the mechanisms of the conflict resolution process. The sluggish negotiation process and the unwillingness of the parties to compromise became the basis for the military option of resolving the conflict. In conclusion, the author comes to the conclusion that the use of force scenario did not contribute to resolving the contradictions between the two warring parties Armenia and Azerbaijan, the positions of the parties on key issues remain different.

TURKEY'S FOREIGN POLICY IN GREATER CENTRAL ASIA AND TRANSCAUCASIA

Central Asia did not play an important role in Turkey's foreign policy until the early 1990s and gained it only after the Turkish side declared its kinship with the Central Asian communities. During the years of the Cold War, Turkish politicians considered Central Asia only in the context of the USSR's policy towards the peoples living there, with whom Ankara had minimal ties. It should be noted that the conceptual foundations of the foreign policy actions of the Republic of Turkey in the Central Asian region were laid during the reign of President Turgut Ozal (1989-1993), which was associated with serious changes in the international arena. The formation of new states as a result of the collapse of the USSR provided Turkey with the opportunity to strengthen its positions in the international arena. Therefore, using the commonality of historical and cultural roots, the Republic of Turkey intended to extend its influence to the newly formed Central Asian republics, which, in turn, were faced with the task of determining national interests and political preferences.

Key words: Russia, Turkey, Foreign policy, Caucasus, Central Asia, Pan-Turkism.

FREE TRADE ZONE BETWEEN ASEAN AND CHINA: PECULIARITIES OF DEVELOPMENT AND COOPERATION PROSPECTS

In the XXI century integration associations are becoming more and more important in the world political and economic processes. The article considers the relevance of FTZ development as one of the forms of economic integration that can lead countries to a more favorable external environment. The example of the free trade area (FTA) agreement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), which has been operating for more than a decade and allows participants to expand the market, strengthen negotiating positions and promote the development of member states' economies, is illustrative.

This paper is examined through the lens of neoliberalism and integration theory. The Free Trade Agreement, signed in 2010, aims at a mutually beneficial economic relationship between ASEAN countries and the PRC, which is consistent with the principles of neoliberal theory. According to David Harvey, neoliberals advocate absolute freedom of trade and markets, which is realized in a form of economic integration such as the FTA. From the perspective of integration theory, the establishment of FTA between the PRC and ASEAN can be evaluated as a process of multinational integration, which is understood as a voluntary agreement between independent countries on contractual terms that pursues common goals and interests.

Key words: PRC, ASEAN, FTA, Association, trade turnover, agreement, balance.

DEMOCRATIC TRANSIT OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA: UNREACHABLE EXPECTATIONS

The collapse of the USSR and the acquisition of independence posed the problem of further self-determination for the former Soviet republics. The majority declared their desire to establish a stable democratic form of government. Among them is the Republic of Moldova, which until recently was considered by the West as one of the pioneers in the field of democratization and the implementation of European values in practice in the region. However, by 2023, the country and its leadership were increasingly accused of returning to authoritarianism and undemocratic forms of government. The article examines the expectations placed on democratic transition and concludes that in Moldova, attempts to implement democratic reforms and transformations did not lead to democratization, but to a very specific form of coexistence of oligarchic groups of influence.

Key words: democratic transition, The Republic of Moldova, liberal democracy, Eastern Europe, European integration, Eurasian integration.

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ORIGINS OF TERRORISM IN ANGOLA

The article is devoted to the analysis of the causes of the deterioration of the terrorist situation in Angola in recent years. The purpose of this article is to identify the underlying causes that determine Angola's vulnerability to terrorist threats. Research objectives: 1) to determine the state of Angola's political institutions; 2) to assess the contribution of economic factors to the aggravation of the threat of terrorism; 3) to propose recommendations for the elimination of the terrorist threat in Angola. To achieve this goal, the method of desk research is used. According to the results of the study, the suboptimal institutional development of Angola makes a decisive contribution to the aggravation of terrorist threats in the country. The growth of the terrorist threat in Angola observed in recent years is caused by the combined impact of both political and economic factors. The negative impact of political factors is primarily due to the insufficient quality of political institutions. Modern Angolan political institutions are hybrid: on the one hand, they show tendencies towards the democratization of Angolan society; on the other hand, the inertia of authoritarian institutions formed in the past takes place. At the same time, these political problems are closely related to the peculiarities of Angola's economic development. In conditions when the country's economy remains emphatically focused on the export of minerals, the uneven distribution of minerals across the country creates prerequisites for the disproportionate development of mining and non-mining regions. The main task of the Angolan government is to find effective mechanisms for economic diversification, the development of competitive non-extractive industries in backward regions, as well as providing greater opportunities for participation in the political life of the country to broad segments of the population, which will allow democratically and peacefully resolve the contradictions that exist today.

ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND SAUDI ARABIA AT THE PRESENT STAGE

For a long time, the indicators of the level of Russian-Saudi economic cooperation remained at low values. However, since 2017, there has been a trend of rapid warming in relations between states in a number of areas, including the economic one. Even after the West imposed a sanctions regime against Russia after the Russian Federation announced a special military operation in Ukraine in 2022, Saudi Arabia did not join the economic sanctions. On the contrary, the number of bilateral agreements and projects has only increased. This paper will analyze the risks and further prospects of deepening economic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the KSA, the place of Riyadh and Moscow in the new emerging world order.

PREREQUISITES FOR THE FORMATION OF NON-FORCED INFLUENCE IN THE FOREIGN POLICY OF STATES

The concept of force as the main foreign policy resource of any state in the theory and practice of world politics is difficult to overestimate. Representatives of different schools of research in international relations turned to the analysis of this category in certain historical periods. Until recently, the resource components of the state's forces were traditionally defined and evaluated exclusively in a military or economic context, and the military-industrial complex was considered the main instrument of the arsenal of political influence; Today, however, such factors as economic success, ideological persuasiveness and cultural attractiveness of the country come to the forefront of indicators by which the power and influence of the state in the international arena are assessed, and the toolkit is replenished with completely new methods and strategies. It is difficult to overestimate the degree of influence of those steps that researchers of international relations refer to as "non-coercive", because it is extremely high.

In the article, the author considers the prerequisites that contributed to the formation of non-force tools as such. Analyzes the origins of the concept of "power" in international relations, its interpretation from the point of view of individual approaches and various thinkers and theorists.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHANGE OF KEY COGNITIVE AND POLITICAL CATEGORIES OF THE SOVIET SOCIETY IN THE PROCESS OF PERESTROIKA

The relevance of the topic is conditioned by the changes in people's consciousness that are taking place in post-Soviet Russia, forming conditions including for the exercise of political power and most strongly manifested in an environment of increasing political or economic instability. The vector of these changes lies in the emerging by the end of the century trends in Soviet society and the events of perestroika that consolidated them. Consideration of cognitive-political categories from the point of view of their construction in this regard implies not so much the construction of a historical picture in the key of some reasonable goal setting, but allows through a specific formalized, and therefore available for study, model of events, called Perestroika, to assess their structural inclusion in social and political processes, the composition of society and its characteristics.

The author concludes that Soviet Perestroika was an activity of constructing a new order through cognitive categories of democracy and socialism, which provided the past with new meanings and changed the positions of friend-or-foe in public consciousness, changing the system of typifications, which in the end became an essential factor of restructuring the whole system of social relations.

Key words: democracy, cognitive categories, construction of order, Perestroika, socialism.

ESTABLISHING THE SECURITY REGIME IN THE GEOPOLITICS OF NORTHEAST ASIA

Currently, Northeast Asia is one of the most important and dynamic regions in global politics, with the interests of major global players concentrated in the area. The countries in the region play a key role in the global economy and face complex challenges. Therefore, cooperation in diplomacy is necessary in the post-Cold War era to confront challenging factors, such as regional security issues. However, the security conditions in Northeast Asia differ, and regional cooperation is limited.

This paper is dedicated to the need for establishing mechanisms for cooperation in security in Northeast Asia, which is the most dangerous region in the Asia-Pacific area and has both covert and overt security issues. The authors analyze the changing dynamics of security and explore the future regional security environment. They emphasize the need for flexible and cooperative diplomacy to address complex factors in the post-Cold War era on a multilateral basis. The article also highlights the importance of sub-regional cooperation and discusses the conceptual and policy analysis of creating a cooperative security system. The authors also stress that nations cannot rely solely on military options to preserve their security, as this demands unbearable economic costs.

Establishing mechanisms for cooperative security in Northeast Asia is a complex and lengthy process that requires considering numerous factors, including geopolitical interests, ideological differences, and cultural nuances. The paper provides valuable research insights into the problems of creating mechanisms for cooperative security in Northeast Asia, emphasizing the need for flexible and cooperative diplomacy to confront the challenges of the post-Cold War era.
