THE CONFRONTATION OF MODERN AND POSTMODERN IDEOLOGIES IN MODERN POLITICS
Modern society is characterized by an information revolution with constant progress in the ideological field and a change in ideologies and traditional meanings. Globalization and the development of information technologies contribute to the transformation of society's values, postmodernist paradigms are replacing the ideology of modernity. At the same time, the heterogeneity of development and cultural differences of modern states lead to the parallel coexistence of heterogeneous ideologies in the world community, giving rise to their confrontation, which simultaneously serves their development. This article attempts to analyze the features of the manifestation and confrontation of the ideologies of modernity and postmodernity in the modern political and cultural space.
Key words: modernism, postmodernism, values, modern politics.

E-DEMOCRACY AS A NEW MODEL OF DEMOCRACY
The high level of development and dissemination of digital technologies is considered one of the main reasons for the transformation of public administration systems and political institutions. The ideal of modernity is becoming an open, transparent and interactive state that provides its citizens with ample opportunities for political participation and decision-making. These ideas acquire theoretical form in the concept of "electronic democracy", in which digital technologies are introduced into the public space, changing it. The author examines the structure of e-democracy, consisting of e-participation and e-government. If e-government is characterized by standardization and optimization in the provision of online services to citizens, then e-participation requires a large-scale modernization of the electoral system. The article emphasizes that the range of tools and mechanisms used by e-democracy is quite extensive and includes: digital platforms and services, electronic voting systems, virtual reception rooms and digital crowdsourcing. The author also highlights the main problems that modern countries can and do face when introducing digital technologies into the political process. Among them, the most common are: 1) financial problems; 2) digital inequality; 3) low level of digital competencies; 4) technological problems related to the security of confidential information; 5) alienation of certain categories of citizens from politics. In addition, the author suggests that the determining factors of success in the development of e-democracy are the type of political regime, the level of civic participation, the nature of social capital, economic efficiency and the general course of digitalization of the state. The article concludes that digital technologies actually have the necessary resources and capabilities to solve many socio-political problems of modern states. However, the consequences of such a transformation of the public political space can be very dangerous even for consolidated democracies. Therefore, the use of electronic technologies is possible, but requires additional consideration of possible risks.
Key words: e-democracy, the main problems of e-democracy, e-government, e-participation, digital tools.

STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA: ON THE QUESTION ABOUT PREFERENCES AND TRENDS
The presented review is an attempt to analyze the problem of what is happening in historical research regarding the thematic preferences that dominate historical science today. The looming threats of a global scale over the future of humanity, the large-scale falsification of historical events and processes shock both the consciousness and reason of even high-level and quality historians. Don’t they know by purpose that there was a worse fear, which will no longer be. It is increasingly said about historical science that it is at a dead end. The subject of not only historical research, but also theirs, is not the dialectic of the past, present and future reality surrounding the historian and his life path, his meaning, but only the historian himself, his subjective existence, which sometimes lies on the other side of reason and logic. The analysis carried out, it seems to us, still allows us to see the dominant trend of “good news” in the thematic focus of historical research. The results of the analysis showed that today’s “newfangled” approaches, interpreted in terms of the “digital turn in historical research”, modernist or postmodernist interpretation of traditional and newly-minted values, have not found the level of popularity and recognition among domestic historians that is attributed to it, or which is pompously is declared as a progressive and effective style in the study. The complex issue of scientific thematic and semantic preferences in the situation of a turn in the fate of Russian civilization is shared by almost all historians. And therefore, historical researchers and history as an educational and educational practice are facing a turn towards rediscovering the meaning of conservatism, traditional national values of Russian civilization as true modernity and true progress.

PATRIOTISM AS A BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIZENSHIP IN RUSSIAN SOCIETY
Within the framework of this article, the analysis of the formation of patriotism and the culture of patriotism based on the features of the modern world order is carried out. The starting point in the formation of both patriotic consciousness among citizens and citizenship is ideology. The author conducted a study of basic concepts and moral frames in the ideology of nationalism and patriotism. The fundamental characteristic of a nation and "patria" is the presence of love and trust in one's fatherland and nation. In this context, the superframe refers to the relation of the subject to various concepts and occupies an important place in the hierarchy of the moral framework of nationalism.
Key words: patriotism, nation, citizenship, frames, ideology, morality, culture of patriotism.

THE PHENOMENON OF CANCEL CULTURE THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE CONCEPT OF “HISTORICAL TRAUMA”
The article attempts to conceptualize the phenomenon of cancel culture as a part of collective memory and the process of oblivion using the concept of historical trauma as a forced change of collective identity leading to the necessity of the reconstruction of collective memory with the subsequent formation of a stable post-traumatic representation. The analysis made it possible to describe the mechanisms of the functioning of cancel culture as a factor of the disruption of collective memory algorithms. It is concluded that the phenomenon of cancel culture is associated with the mechanism of silence and memory repression that can lead to the emergence of the gaps in collective historical memory thus causing the emergence of quasi-representations of traumatic events and maladaptive social behavior of the traumatized community. It is noted that the format of cancel culture makes it difficult to build a post-traumatic narrative necessary to overcome the irrepresentability of traumatic experience.
Key words: cancel culture, collective memory, historical trauma, collective trauma.

KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY – PRESENT AND PROSPECTED
The main feature of the ideology of the knowledge society should be the quintessence of a human researcher (conscious). A human researcher strives for knowledge not as an encyclopedist, but as a thoughtful analyst who understands the processes that may be behind information or be associated with it in the coordinates of space and time. He uses knowledge as efficiently as possible for the benefit of himself and society, at the same time understands and assumes full responsibility for his actions or inaction in certain circumstances. Such a person is characterized by harmony of the inner and outer world, as well as high demands on himself and others. He is aware of his purpose in society, his role in the world and is not subject to means of manipulation. Truth and morality are the main reference point of a human researcher. Family harmony and harmony with society and nature are important to him. Such a person is a reliable support of the state.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS OF THE "GREEN PARTIES" OF RUSSIA, ASSESSMENT OF THEIR PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND WORK WITH VOTERS
The article highlights the importance of environmental issues in political agendas, especially in the context of the recent successes of the Green parties in Germany. The German Greens have demonstrated the ability to turn initial ideas into a long-term movement, which emphasises the growing public awareness of the importance of taking the environment into account for public well-being.

This research provides a deeper understanding of how environmental issues are influencing electoral processes in Europe and how they are becoming increasingly important on the political agenda of these countries.
The study analyzed that there is an important correlation between economic stability, the quality of life of the population, competition among political parties and the positions of green parties. This relates to their effectiveness in promoting environmental stories and mobilizing voters. Green parties have achieved significant success in the European Union countries.

MULTIPOLAR STATE OF THE WORLD POLITICAL SYSTEM AND ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY OF EU MEMBER STATES
The article discusses the concept of energy sovereignty in the context of the multipolar system of global politics and the increased use of energy resources as a tool of political pressure. The article focuses on the concept of energy sovereignty and its application in the European Union (EU), as well as the challenges and threats the EU faces in its energy policy. The article also examines the role of the United States in the energy sector and its impact on EU energy sovereignty. The role of the United States (US) as a net energy exporter has changed in recent years. Previously a major importer of oil and natural gas, the United States has now become a net exporter. The U.S. intends to continue to invest in shale oil and gas technologies, and global energy demand is expected to continue to grow, further increasing U.S. energy exports. Currently, the U.S. has rallied the Western collective against Russia, as manifested in sanctions, and has weakened the EU by forcing it to purchase more expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) while it transitions to renewable energy sources. The article is that the EU has the potential to restore its energy sovereignty in the long term through a change in political leadership and increased integration, but also faces new threats in the form of increased competition from the US. However, increased US competition for the European energy market poses new threats to EU sovereignty. In addition, the weakening of the US as a global hegemon due to the weakening of the dollar may offer opportunities for the EU, but may also pose new challenges to its sovereignty.
Key words: EU energy policy, energy sovereignty, European Union, multipolarity, United States of America.

SOCIO-CULTURAL DIMENSION OF THE PROBLEMS OF WOMEN LEADERSHIP IN MODERN RUSSIA
The article examines a set of issues related to the problem of the significance of gender models of female behavior in the approach to leadership. The author explores the main cultural and social factors of influence of the sociocultural environment of modern society on the formation of women's life strategy as a social phenomenon. The research methodology is based on systematic and comparative approaches, within which the phenomenon of female leadership is analyzed simultaneously both as an element of the current political process and as an issue raised in society within the framework of the discussion about gender roles. A historical analysis of the development of women's political role shows an evolution from the lack of mechanisms for women's access to the highest echelons of power to the transformation of political and family relationships, as well as patterns of behavior, which is reflected in the style of women's management and leadership at the present time. Changes occurring in gender roles under the influence of globalization and innovations of the information society are considered as the main sociocultural prerequisites for expanding opportunities for the development of women's leadership. The article also provides an analysis of the features of women's participation in government in modern Russia. The current socio-political situation and crises of recent years are taken into account. The prospects for the development of the institution of women's leadership are assessed in the context of possible benefits (such as, for example, reducing the level of corruption) for the state apparatus and society. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the modern world increasingly needs a combination of both “male” and “female” approaches to achieve the greatest success, and the compromise inherent in the decisions of women leaders contributes to the stabilization of the socio-political situation.
Key words: women's leadership, women's management, gender stereotypes in management, gender models of behavior, gender theories of leadership, female leader, emotional intelligence, female management style.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND INFORMATION PROJECTS IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS OF CHINA AND RUSSIA
The integration of digital technologies and information projects into countries' political processes has become a central theme in global discourse, with particular attention paid to countries such as China and Russia. As both countries use technology to shape their political landscapes, numerous issues and questions arise, necessitating a comprehensive investigation into the following key areas of concern: government surveillance and privacy issues, information control and censorship, cybersecurity threats and election integrity, technological nationalism and digital sovereignty, citizen participation and the digital divide, ethical considerations in artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision making.
By addressing these problem areas, the study aims to provide a detailed understanding of the relationship between digital technologies, information projects, and political processes in China and Russia, contributing to broader discussions about the implications for governance, democracy, and global technology landscapes.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the role of new technologies in the political process of China and Russia. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to complete a number of tasks, namely, identifying forms of introduction of digital technologies and projects into the political process, attitudes of the population and the degree of its readiness for change, the role of political institutions. The main methods were the comparison method and the statistical method.
While China and Russia show similarities in their use of digital technologies for government control, information dissemination, and electoral processes, there are nuanced differences. China's pervasive surveillance and tight controls on information are significantly shaping its political landscape. In contrast, Russia maintains a more diversified media landscape but still exercises significant control over digital platforms and faces similar challenges to freedom of expression and activism. The relationship between technological progress and political control is different, but both countries demonstrate a complex relationship between digital technologies and their respective political processes.
Key words: digital technologies, information projects, political process, artificial intelligence, Chinese policy, Russian policy.

PECULIARITIES OF USING SOCIAL NETWORKS AS A TOOL OF POLITICAL MOBILIZATION IN MODERN RUSSIA: PROBLEMS OF INCREASING EFFECTIVENESS
In the modern information society, social networks occupy an important place in political life, representing a powerful tool of the political mobilization. They have several unique features, such as the speed of information dissemination, the possibility of creating communities and organizations, attractiveness for young people, anonymity and the possibility of creating virtual protests. All these features make social media one of the most effective tools for political mobilization.
The study covers a variety of actors of political mobilization, including political parties, civic organizations, trade unions, religious organizations, and individual citizens. These actors can actively use social media to achieve their political goals.
Real-world examples, such as the mass protests of 2011-2012 and the anti-corruption rallies of 2017, emphasize the importance of social media as a means of organizing and coordinating political events. The paper also examines the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, which used various methods of online political mobilization such as online advertising, social videos and influential personalities.
The study emphasizes that the success of online political mobilization depends on the situation and campaign objectives, and the effectiveness of the methods can vary. However, social media provides many tools and strategies that can be employed to influence public opinion and mobilize citizens.
The study concludes that social media is indeed a powerful tool for political mobilization and promotes a variety of methods to influence public consciousness and political participation.
Key words: social networks, political mobilization, Internet technologies, network political mobilization, subjects of political mobilization.

APPLICATION OF “NEW” MEDIA: FROM WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES TO POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE
An increasing number of people are accessing the Internet not only to gain political knowledge, but also to interact within the Web 2.0 political community. It is currently unclear who is using the Internet for “cyberparticipation” as an interactive tool rather than as a modernization of traditional participation. Moreover, there is little information about the impact of this cyberpolitical participation on turnout. This study aims to identify the characteristics of people who use online social networks to participate in cyberspace as a first step to determine whether the Web 2.0 environment is eroding traditional barriers to political participation. Moreover, it demonstrates that participation in cyberspace is a unique form of political participation that is significantly related to voter turnout.

RUSSIA'S TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY AS A MODEL OF CATCH-UP DEVELOPMENT? THE MILITARY-POLITICAL ASPECT OF THE PROBLEM
In the proposed article, the authors addressed an urgent problem – ensuring the technological sovereignty of Russia, which is considered in the geo-political plane, having acquired strategic importance for the country. The issue of technological independence and security is becoming fundamental for both Russia and the main players in world politics. This statement requires a more rigorous study of this concept. At the same time, the authors try to approach the problem from the perspective of analyzing the theory of catching-up development of Friedrich List, as the founder of this concept. The authors conclude that it is impossible to ensure technological independence from Western platform suppliers, including the military sphere. At the same time, this problem does not have a simple solution, especially in the conditions of the country's political leadership conducting its own and ensuring the security of the state. The conduct of a special military operation confirmed that it is necessary to solve emerging problems in the process of catching up.

INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY IN DIGITAL HEALTH: ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS
Introduction: the article examines the main aspects of information security policy in digital health through the prism of the implementation of the organizational and legal mechanism. The team of authors notes the presence of a number of problematic aspects in the digital space of the domestic healthcare system, focused on the protection of personal data and the security of the information circuit from unauthorized influence. The functioning of the digital ecosystem of a medical institution is associated with a set of risks for the patient, which can be expressed in the form of loss of personal data, unauthorized access to test and diagnostic results, as well as misuse of treatment methods. The key task of a medical institution in this aspect is to mitigate the noted potential risks by ensuring that the digital ecosystem is inaccessible to outside interference and other information leaks. The identified issues require improving the mechanism of legislative regulation, which should be maximally correlated with evolutionary processes in the digital environment, as well as expanding the potential of the sectoral organizational system of administrative regulation of data storage.
Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to consider certain aspects of information security policy in the digital health space. The objectives of the study are as follows:
– substantiate key aspects of the relevance of strengthening information security in the digital healthcare space, taking into account the need to eliminate objectively existing problems;
– present the basic elements of the regulatory field governing information security processes in healthcare;
– conduct an analysis of the litmus indicators of cybersecurity in the domestic healthcare system.
Research results: the team of authors specified the main problems of information security in the use of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence in digital health based on a study of existing law enforcement practice, diagnostics of panel statistical data and content analysis of the publishing digital space.
Key words: information security, digital health, telemedicine, digital transformation, personal data protection.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND THE INTRODUCTION OF DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, MODERN PLANNING AND DECISION-MAKING TECHNIQUES
Modern society is characterized by a fairly rapid development dynamics. The functioning of society, the development of science, digital technologies – all this has a significant impact on the development of various spheres of life, including public administration.

INSTITUTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AS AN ELEMENT OF THE STATE INNOVATION POLICY
The presented study is devoted to the question of the structure of mnemonic actors in the modern space of memory and their role in the formation of negative ideas about terrorism through the formation of a corresponding image of the past. The author constructs a universal model of memorial actors, suitable for use within any socio-political system, regardless of the local context of “memory wars”. The interaction of mnemonic actors with interest groups is traced. It is concluded that the presence of many mnemonic actors naturally determines the specifics of the implementation of policies in the field of countering terrorism through memorialization. The construction of a negative image of terrorism in a historical context cannot be carried out solely through the direct efforts of the state. Institutions of public power must also mobilize other mnemonic actors and the interest groups behind them, as well as coordinate their activities and, if necessary, provide resource support. The latter will not only ensure compliance with the principle of totality within the framework of promoting the anti-terrorist narrative, but will also allow us to significantly diversify its structure, adapting the content to the specific perception of specific groups of the target audience.
Key words: innovation policy, scientific and technical policy, development institutions, efficiency.

PROSPECTS FOR THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE-INDUSTRY TOWNS OF RUSSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
The development of the territories of the Russian Federation, the disclosure of the potential of human capital and the provision of decent living conditions for the population of the country are particularly relevant goals of state policy in the context of economic restrictions. Single-industry towns are particularly sensitive to the scientific validity and compliance of the applied measures with country characteristics, the positive and negative effects of their implementation are not always noticeable even in the medium term. The purpose of our work is to identify the most effective ways to solve the problems of socio-economic development of single-industry towns, taking into account the effect of economic sanctions imposed on Russia and the world experience in overcoming similar problems. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to implement the following tasks: 1. To analyze the specifics of the impact of economic sanctions in 2022-2023 on the municipal level of territorial administration; 2. To assess the effectiveness of the system of budgetary federalism in Russia in the context of solving the problems of single-industry towns; 3. To identify potentially effective measures to solve the problem of single-industry in foreign federative states, taking into account their possible applicability in Russian realities. The methods of our research are: historical analysis, comparative analysis, statistical analysis, structural and functional analysis. The results of our study include conclusions on the nature of the impact of short- and long-term effects of economic sanctions on the development of Russian single-industry towns, proposals for the development of measures that can have an effective impact on overcoming the problem of single-industry, taking into account the state of the system of center-regional relations in Russia and experience with similar cases in foreign federative states.
Key words: state policy, economic sanctions, regional policy, social policy, single-industry towns.

THE POTENTIAL OF CUBA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESSES OF THE MODERN WORLD ORDER
The devaluation of socialism caused by the collapse of the USSR and the paradigm shift in world politics and economics led to serious cyclical changes both in the ideologies themselves and in socialist/communist regimes. We are currently witnessing a new stage in world history in the transformation of the world order. Against the background of the preservation of the socialist regime, the Cuban economy has been severely affected by the economic consequences of the response to the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19 pandemic), the reduction of support from Venezuela and the strengthening of US economic sanctions. The authors analyze the prospects for the development of Cuba's socialist system in the context of global transformations, assessing the stability of Cuban reforms and opportunities for advancing goals and projects.

FRANCE AND THE WEST AFRICAN CHORD: THE REBELLION OF THE LOST TERRITORIES OR THE BURDENSOME LEGACY OF «FRANCAFRICA»
The article examines the current foreign policy situation in West Africa. It is noted that a significant part of this region consists of former French colonies, which attract the attention of all major powers and military-political institutions of the world. This is primarily due to the new round of the liberation movement in the countries of the region, which are multifaceted and can no longer be described within the paradigm of the liberation movements of the Cold War period. Among the factors that give importance to the situation in West Africa, the authors identify the following: the growing complexity of the region in the context of demographic, military-political, climatic and economic challenges that the states of the studied region are forced to face; the intensification of the struggle between the world centers of power for control over strategically important resources, primarily uranium and bauxite, located in the depths of the studied region; deterioration of the internal security situation in West Africa due to the spread of Islamic extremist movements in these countries. The article emphasizes that at the moment the policy of France, other powers and blocs is actively changing in relation to this dynamic and turbulent region, and also gives a preliminary answer to the question of how current trends may affect the policy of the Fifth Republic and the international relations of the countries of the region. A large place in the work is occupied by the consideration of the influence of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China on the ECOWAS countries and analyzes different views on the problems in the region and possible ways to solve them.

THE AFGHAN WAR IN THE WORKS OF SOVIET JOURNALISTS AND CORRESPONDENTS
During the events of 1979-1989, the press, represented by journalists and correspondents, had the most complete information. On the one hand, they had to risk their lives, along with the military, to see the real picture of what was happening not only in Afghanistan, but also in other countries. And we saw how the civilian population, who were poorly informed about what was happening on the southern borders of the USSR, really treated everything. Some of them wrote articles, short stories, essays, according to the official version of the state or slightly deviating from it, some began to write after the war or during Perestroika.
Key words: Afghanistan, correspondent, journalist, story, work.

FACTORS AND CONDITIONS THAT DETERMINED THE NEED TO CONDUCT POLITICAL WORK AMONG GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR
The article is devoted to the study of factors and conditions that led to the conduct of political work among German prisoners of war. The main directions of the study of political work with prisoners of war during the Great Patriotic War and after its end in modern military-historical research are defined. The author came to the conclusion that the political work with German prisoners of war on the territory of the USSR in 1941-1956 was determined mainly by two interrelated groups of factors: military-economic and political-ideological.
The author focuses on the peculiarities of political work with German prisoners of war in connection with the situation on the Soviet-German front, foreign policy situation, material and living conditions of their detention in prisoner-of-war camps.
Key words: Political work among prisoners of war, German prisoners of war, political work among prisoners of war, All-Russian Bureau of Prisoners, UPVI/GUPVI of the NKVD/Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR.

THE FIGHT AGAINST INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION
Currently, terrorism remains one of the main threats to international security. This necessitates the development of effective strategies to curb it. This work explores various areas and strategies for combating terrorism at the global and local levels, analyzes their advantages and disadvantages.
The process of globalization has opened up new opportunities for the development of terrorist activities. The opening of national borders, massive population and labor movements, the development of new information technologies, and the creation of a global economy allowed terrorists to achieve success in their own development.
The work of international organizations in the fight against terrorism is characterized. The United Nations and its specialized units involved in the suppression of terrorist activities are presented as suitable platforms for coordinating joint actions of the participating countries in this area.
At the level of individual States, the key stages of the formation of a strategy to combat terrorism have been identified. The main functions of the activities of law enforcement agencies of the world's states in the field of ensuring state security are described.
Key words: anti-terrorist activities, counter-terrorism strategy, international organizations, sovereign states.

POLITICAL REGIMS AND INSTITUTIONS OF POWER OF POST-COLONIAL AFRICAN STATES FROM 1900'S TO 1960'S
In this article we will talk about the governance of African states in its political diversity. The African continent as a whole was a completely broken state, torn and divided by concerns emanating from the West for a very specific reason – the division of African states to the detriment of democratization in the 1960s and, during this period, a very specific goal: the means of exercising power. This division consists, on the one hand, in the establishment of Western power as a result of colonial rule, in taking stock of the contexts in which democratization attempts were made in the 1960s as ways of organizing state power. We will first analyze the various options based on sources provided by other authors. We will then attempt to identify the main characteristics of post-colonial African regimes.
Key words: transformation of political power, political regimes of post-colonial states, political problems of African states.

COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF CONSEQUENCES PROFESSIONAL IMMIGRATION POLICIES OF TAIWAN AND OTHER COUNTRIES
Taiwan's high-tech industry and information industry (or IT industry) have been booming in recent years. Discussions about professional immigration often focus on high-tech and IT talent, with the assumption that all countries are seeking these talents. However, these talents suffered from decreased demand and even unemployment following the Internet bubble in 2001, the financial crisis after 2008, and the pandemic in 2020. As a result, the share of Taiwanese immigrants with professional talent has changed. Therefore, this article is inclusive of all professionals and takes into account persistent or at least long-term immigration issues.

ARCTIC STRATEGIES FOR REGIONAL AND NON-REGIONAL ACTORS: THE ROLE OF RUSSIA IN AREAS OF INTEREST
The topic of the article seems highly relevant, since it directly concerns Russia’s national interests in the Arctic region. The Arctic direction of foreign policy is of strategic importance for Russia, however, in the current conditions of geopolitical turbulence, it is of particular importance to take into account the latest changes in the strategic course of other interested states. The methodological basis of the article was quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis. Two hypotheses were put forward – regarding the frequency of references to Russia in the Arctic strategies of foreign states, as well as the semantic load of such references. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that geographic proximity to Russia and the presence of a common border with it do not have a direct correlation with the more frequent mention of Russia in the strategies of these states. The hypothesis was confirmed that the new strategies adopted after the start of the special military operation were more focused on the military-political confrontation with Russia. The results of this study can be useful both to researchers of the northern direction of Russian foreign policy, and to the authorities responsible for the conduct of foreign policy of the Russian Federation.
Key words: Arctic, Arctic states, non-Arctic actors, strategies, content analysis.

SELECTIVE DIPLOMACY: A GUARANTEE OF DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE IN AFRICA
Peace diplomacy is a function of selective diplomacy. The problems of development and peace are both endogenous and exogenous in origin. It has to be said that Africa, the continent most capable of talking even with its worst enemy, capable of dialogue, capable of diplomacy, is a victim of the choice of its partners. This is why Africa, as a continent torn apart by various armed conflicts, increased poverty, famine, migratory flows, inflation, galloping demographics, armed conflicts, inter-ethnic wars, coups d'état, revolts of the middle class, corruption and bad governance are all evils that gnaw at it, and African diplomats should selectively examine their allies with predefined criteria. So let us develop and commit ourselves to selective diplomacy, the aim of which is to promote quality discernment in the choice of partner states and banish the neo-colonialist system.
Key words: selective diplomacy, Africa, development, peace.

DYNAMICS OF SUBJECTIVITY OF FRENCH POLITICAL ELITES
The purpose of this article is to identify the stages of the formation of the subjectivity of the French elites, the formation of their project subjectivity, the problems of national subjectivity and its sustainability. In the first section, the author explores the critical stages of French history in order to understand the origins of the subjectivity of the ruling circles of France. The national political subjectivity of the French elites is determined by the pre-subjective stage of Roman antiquity and subsequent Catholic Christianization. In the second part of the article, the author refers to the legacy of the national French political science school, whose representatives saw citizenship, patriotism, secular humanism, nonconformism, republican radicalism, and thirst for the greatness of France as important properties of the subjectivity of the French. The final part examines the foreign policy problems and challenges that France has faced since the end of the 19th century to the present day, and how these difficulties and achievements affect the subjective status of its political elites.
Key words: ruling elites, subjectivity, dynamics of subjectivity, type of subjectivity, French citizenship, mental and dogmatic foundations, mentalization, political and psychological properties, subjective status, messianism, soft power, global political space, sovereignty, political science, France.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF SINO-EUROPEAN COOPERATION IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE
On February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian crisis erupted when Russia launched a military operation against Ukraine. As a result of the military conflict between the two sides and the regional situation, Europe's energy supply has been strained and energy prices have risen sharply. In order to cope with the dual challenges of energy security and market stability, European countries are seeking alternatives in the short term, further accelerating the pace of renewable energy development in the medium and long term, and seeking to get rid of their energy dependence on Russia as early as possible. Based on the current policy, market and development trend of renewable energy development in Europe, the opportunities and challenges facing Sino-European renewable energy cooperation are analyzed, and corresponding countermeasures and recommendations are put forward. The study shows that China has a high probability of taking over Russia's energy market share in Europe, relying on multilateral energy cooperation mechanisms, strengthening communication, and utilizing the complementary advantages of market, technology, and industry to promote pragmatic cooperation, while consolidating and developing China-EU partnership to promote China's green low-carbon energy transformation and high-quality development.

THE PROBLEMS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS' ACTIVITY
The transnational corporations (TNCs) currently play a significant role in the global economy; transnational corporations have significant resources, control over certain areas of the market, and to some extent even have political influence. Since transnational corporations operate all around the world, there are a lot of problems in the legal regulation of their activity caused by the insufficiency of international law, their legal personality not fully defined and numerous differences in national legislation. The aim of the study is to identify, systematize and analyze these problems. The study analyzes the main criteria for identifying TNCs, existing international agreements and Russian law governing their activity. Based on the results, the main problems of the legal regulation of TNCs are identified. These problems are associated with the lack of a specific legal definition of TNCs, with the international nature of their activity, which complicates their prosecution for offenses, with the absence of the obligation of TNCs to bear the social responsibility of business in host countries, with the inconsistency of the universal products produced and services provided with the legislation of the host country. The practice of using various instruments for TNC regulation in Russia and abroad is considered; the development of a separate legal act dedicated to the regulation of the TNC activity in Russia is proposed. Such act is aimed to reflect the concept of a transnational corporation, the features of registration, conduct and liquidation of the business of TNCs in the Russian Federation, the obligation to ensure compliance products produced and services provided to Russian legislation, social responsibility of TNCs, and measures to bring them to justice for offenses.
Key words: transnational corporations, international legislation, foreign investment, legal regulation.
