CLASH AND INTERACTION OF ETHICAL-POLITICAL IDEAS OF LAOZI AND KONGZI AS A PRACTICAL CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF ANCIENT CHINA
The article examines the influence of two philosophical-religious and ethical-political teachings of China: Taoism and Confucianism. An analysis of these teachings in connection with the formation of political culture is proposed, similarities and differences in the processes of their formation and development are highlighted, the attitude of Confucianism and Taoism to more ancient religious traditions is revealed. The analysis shows that Confucianism and Taoism have retained some of the principles of primitive religion. The author comes to the conclusion that the coexistence of these teachings resulted in the emergence of a kind of symbiosis of neo-Confucian and neo-Taoist teachings, the elements of influence of which are observed in modern China. The rules of "Xiao" or filial piety, as well as a number of other moral principles of Taoism, correspond to the principles of Confucianism. Both teachings are united by a number of more ancient traditional ethical and religious norms. Significant differences in religious terms are as follows: Taoism in its religious form is a typical variety of polytheism, while Confucianism rigidly constitutes the traditional uniting cult of the emperor and Heaven. The practical conceptual base of modern China in its foreign and domestic policy successfully combines the experience of the ethical-political and philosophical discourse of both schools under consideration.
Key words: Confucianism, Taoism, ideology, political philosophy, ethics, culture, politics, doctrine.

HISTORY OF THE FAMILY OF NOVOROSSIAN ENTREPRENEURS BOGDASAROV (FOLLOWING V.I. KOLESOV’S RESEARCH)
Formation of ideas about the socio-cultural features of the Russian province of the late XIX – early XX centuries. Is impossible without an analysis of the development of local entrepreneurship, the basis of which was the merchant class.

In this work, directories and address-calendars were used, with the help of which the addresses of trade enterprises, the approximate amount of income and turnover, and the number of workers were determined. The materials of the Department of Archives of the Moscow Region of Novorossiysk helped to establish the exact composition of the Bogdasarov family, the degree of their participation in charity and public life. The regional periodicals of the time under consideration contributed to understanding the general trends in the development of the area.
As a result of the study, it was found that the basis of the Bogdasarov family business was manufacturing trade. The younger generation was also engaged in the production of beer, the sale of wine and spirits. The family took an active part in public life and charity.
Key words: Circassians, Bogdasarovs, merchant family, entrepreneurship, Novorossiysk, manufactured goods.

MOTIVATION FOR POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN A LIBERAL DEMOCRACY
The article examines the problem of the legitimacy of the political organization of society. It is emphasized that institutional stability is determined by the consent of the people with the political decisions taken by the authorities. The issue of legitimization of the regime "from above" is being actualized. It is argued that an individual has an interest in political participation in the context of satisfying his vital needs. Particular importance is attached to the formation of the psychological dominant of an individual's behavior. Attention is focused on two main parameters of political participation: autonomous and mobilized. The article substantiates the position that the individual's feeling of himself as a political subject generates autonomous political participation. It is concluded that the field of autonomous participation in liberal democracy objectively narrows, which leads to a rigid type of centralized government.
Key words: political system, institutional legitimacy, psychological dominance, political participation, autonomous participation, mobilized participation, liberal democracy.

INSTITUTIONAL SPECIFICITY OF THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE OF TAJIKISTAN
In this article, the authors analyzed the features of the public service as a political and legal institution. During the consideration of the topic in the system of statehood, the importance of this institution was noted. First of all, the focus of the study is the content of the civil service, its relationship with citizens and its role in the system of executive power.
One of the most important aspects considered by the authors is the application of the experience of neighboring countries and strategic partners. Obviously, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, each country, based on its national interests and priorities, determined the direction of its state. Meanwhile, a single model of civil service among the post-Soviet countries laid the foundation for joint integration. From this point of view, the reform and modernization of the civil service institution are considered against the background of external experience.
Key words: civil service, citizenship, executive power, foreign experience, institutional approach.

TECHNOLOGIES TO COUNTER THE DESTRUCTIVE INFLUENCE OF THE RUSSIAN NON-SYSTEMIC OPPOSITIONS IN RUNET
The article is dedicated to the algorithm and key technologies for countering destructive information flows of the RUnet generated by actors of the Russian non-systemic opposition. It is noted that with the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine, the Russian non-systemic opposition has actually lost its own political subjectivity and acts as one of the instruments of external information pressure on Russia. The author's algorithm for countering non-systemic opposition in RUnet social media is proposed, which includes six stages: organizational, monitoring, expert-analytical, neutralizing, reformatting and reflexive. Four technological blocks of such counteraction are identified: reactive, preventive, reframing and inclusive.
Key words: non-systemic opposition, destructive information flow, counteraction technologies, «fakes», non-systemic actors, preventive technologies, monitoring.

DISCOURSE OF DIGITALIZATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION: NEW APPROACHES, RISKS AND THREATS
The relevance and complexity of analyzing the processes of mutual influence of digitalization and democratization is caused by the inconsistency of public perception of the processes of introducing digital solutions and information technologies into the life of society. It would seem that digital technologies aimed at making life easier for society and improving the quality of life have influenced all processes of the functioning of society: social, economic, political, cultural. The modern citizen is increasingly immersed in the world of digital technology. Digitalization and technology have an active role in political processes, in the democratization of society, and in the interaction of political actors and citizens. The impact of digital technologies on social processes has resulted in the social risks of misinformation of society, the introduction of false impulses for social development, guided by economic and political global networks. These aspects are only partially touched upon in this article, since digital risks and threats to the stability of the development of social processes in many countries of the world are just becoming a reality.
Key words: digitalization, democratization, technology, social development, politics.

PECULIARITIES OF PARTICIPATION OF RUSSIAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT DECISION-MAKING
The article deals with the problems of formation of the modern system of participation of business associations in the processes of public decision-making in Russia. Russian business associations emerge to articulate and protect the interests of the entrepreneurial community, and today they represent the most involved group of interests in the processes of elaboration and adoption of state decisions. It is shown that the involvement of Russian business associations in the interaction with public authorities had a contradictory character and was largely due to the peculiarities of the development of Russian statehood. The article substantiates the conclusion that the Russian model of interaction between the state and business associations is developing as a corporatist model, characterized by the identification of key associations, which occupy a leading position in interaction with the state. The trends in the development of this model are outlined, the main of which is to improve the quality of interaction between business associations and the state in the context of various political and economic changes in the external environment. We also analyze the main problems that hinder the formalization and institutionalization of such interaction, such as the lack of a fixed status of Russian business associations and legal framework for their activities, which is fraught with continuing difficulties for the stable balanced nature of these relationships.
Key words: Business associations, government decision-making system, representation of interests, business community, lobbying, GR-technologies, neo-corporativism.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE ROLE OF ISLAM IN THE POLITICAL LIFE OF TURKEY IN THE 20TH CENTURY
The issue of the relationship between religion and politics in contemporary societies occupies a key place in global humanitarian science. Of particular interest is Islam, which experienced a dramatic political revitalization in the 1980s, even giving rise to the term "political Islam," the substance and application of which are still debated amongst the academic community. This article uses the term in its widest sense to mean the totality of diverse political movements, ideological currents and government policies striving to give Islam an influence on political processes.
Turkey is an interesting example of the intermittent evolution of the role of political Islam, from the total subjugation of religion to the state in the early republican period to the victory of the Islamist 'Welfare Party' in the 1995 general election, followed again by a sharp contraction in the role of religion after the post-modernist coup in 1997 and subsequent stable growth under the 'Justice and Development Party' from 2002 to the present day.
The article breaks down the evolution of the role of Islam in Turkey during the 20th century into a series of periods and identifies the key characteristics of each. Summing up, it states that globalization and modernization of Turkish society have engendered a need for a modern Islam embracing the concepts of political democracy, religious tolerance, the rule of law and a free market economy. This distinguishes Turkey from other countries in the Middle East, where modernist interpretations of Islam have been unable to overcome deep-rooted religious conservatism.
Key words: Republic of Turkey, political Islam, Kemalism, N. Erbakan, Millî Görüş movement.

FEATURES OF FORMATION OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL IN RUSSIA AS A FACTOR OF ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY UNDER SANCTIONS
Introduction: the article discusses the features of the formation of intellectual capital in Russia in conditions of global instability. The team of authors concludes that given the current geopolitical situation, it is necessary to greatly increase the intensity of solving the problem of ensuring national security. At the same time, it is important to understand that national security is a complex and multifaceted concept, the provision of which requires the involvement of a wide range of areas of public policy. One of the most pressing factors in achieving national security is expanding the potential of sovereign intellectual capital. In the conditions of a hybrid war, the importance of the formation of intellectual capital increases many times, which requires constant improvement of approaches to its management. From the perspective of ensuring the maximum level of national security, the importance of intellectual capital can be expressed in the following functions: educational, which consists in organizing the patriotic and spiritual and moral education of the younger generation; scientific, forming the foundation for the development of sovereign scientific potential and generating achievements of scientific and technological progress; educational, which consists of increasing the general level of education of society and its ability for evolutionary development; professional, training of qualified personnel for the national labor market, taking into account the current technological formation.
Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to study the features of the formation of intellectual capital in Russia as a factor in ensuring national security under sanctions. In order to achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved:
– justify the relevance of managing the country’s intellectual capital in conditions of global instability and geopolitical pressure;
– perform diagnostics of key indicators of the functioning of the educational environment for the development of intellectual capital in the Russian Federation;
– characterize the dynamics of the integral index of the level of education and qualifications;
– analyze the degree of development of the intellectual potential of the teaching environment in the higher education system of the Russian Federation.
Results: in the work, the team of authors examined the key aspects of the formation of intellectual capital in Russia as a factor in ensuring national security under sanctions. The main focus of the study is aimed at characterizing the educational and scientific segments of intellectual capital. In the noted fairway, a diagnosis of key indicators of the functioning of the educational environment for the development of intellectual capital in the Russian Federation was carried out, an analysis was made of the degree of development of the intellectual potential of the teaching environment in the higher education system, an assessment was made of the dynamics of the integral index of the level of education and qualifications, as well as the dynamics of investments in fixed capital in the field of scientific research and developments. The generalizations made in the work make it possible to create an up-to-date information base for increasing the quality of management decision-making in the focus of expanding the potential of national intellectual capital.
Key words: intellectual capital, education, sanctions, national security.

PARTICIPATION OF THE USSR IN THE INTERNAL POLITICAL LIFE OF CHINA (1918-1927)
The article examines the participation of the USSR in the internal political life of China from 1918 until the severance of diplomatic relations between China and the USSR in 1927. The relevance of the study is due to the strengthening of the People's Republic of China in the international arena. An analysis of the factors of strengthening the leading position of the PRC was carried out. It is noted that the formation of the modern Chinese system in the 20s of the 20th century and the Chinese socialist state were influenced by relations with the USSR. It has been determined that the Soviet Union not only actively helped the formation of communist China, but also took an active role in the unification of national liberation movements, and also took a direct part in the creation of the Kuomintang. The contradictions that were brewing in the Kuomintang in the struggle for power were revealed. It is concluded that despite the rupture of diplomatic relations, the subsequent serious support of the USSR (military, financial, foreign and domestic) for the communist policies of China contributed to the formation of Chinese statehood. At the same time, the national-patriotic goals of the National Government of China gradually took a course towards cooperation, political stability and participation in international affairs.

The relevance of the study of the prerequisites for the formation of the Indo-Pacific regional system of regulation of international relations is justified by the evolution of the Indian foreign policy paradigm in the context of the development of a polycentric system of international relations.
The aim of the study is to identify internal and external factors that determine each other and influence India's pragmatic foreign policy, which is focused on achieving the status of India as a regional power and the center of the emerging regional system of regulation of international relations in the Indo-Pacific region.
To solve research problems, systemic, actor, geopolitical and geoeconomic methodological approaches were applied. The study also used the linguistic-legal method in interpreting the constitutional and legal norms that establish the principles of the state structure and the priorities of the state policy of the Republic of India, as well as the comparative method in studying the approaches of India and other actors of the regionalization of political processes to the implementation of the concept of multipolarity.
As a result of the study, the following main conclusions were substantiated. The Republic of India is a promising candidate for achieving the status of the center of the Indo-Pacific regional system for regulating international relations, capable of responsibly representing the interests of the entire region in a multipolar world. The political system of India can be used as a model of the Indo-Pacific regional system for regulating international relations.
The prerequisites for the formation of India's special status in a multipolar world are: the pragmatic nature of India's foreign policy focused on the development of regional leadership; India's geopolitical subjectivity arising as a result of rapid economic development; intuitively understandable to representatives of Indian culture organicism in matters of state development; backlog of decentralized state administration and non-legal regulation of public relations; the national identity of India, which implies a combination of attitudes towards the preservation of cultural identity and the recognition of cultural pluralism.
Key words: foreign policy of India, Indo-Pacific region, regionalization of political processes, decentralized global regulation of international relations, polycentricity, multipolarity.

THE HISTORY OF STUDYING THE ROLE OF PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES IN INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICTS DURING THE COLD WAR (1960-1980s)
From a scientific point of view, private military companies are an extremely interesting and, at the same time, relatively little-studied phenomenon. More and more scientific works of experts in the field of military security, jurisprudence and international relations appear on the subject of research.
The present study, which was written using various general scientific methods, is descriptive and theoretical in nature. This is the first scientific work analyzing the sources of the 1960s-1980s, which consider private companies of a military nature. This period is of great scientific interest, as scientific understanding and understanding of the role and place of private military companies in armed conflicts is just beginning to take shape.
In the works under consideration, the authors analyze the effectiveness of private military companies in the field of technical support and training of army units, and for the first time study the possibility of involving these structures by states in their interests.
As a result of writing the work, we can say that the period of the 1960s-1980s is the beginning of the scientific study of the phenomenon of PMCs and consideration of various problems related to the participation of PMCs in armed conflicts. At the same time, the term "private military companies" appears in the scientific literature.
Key words: private military companies, military enterprises, private military companies, PMCs, armed conflict, military enterprises, national interests, national security.

IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL COMPETITION BETWEEN REGIONAL AND EXTRA-REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE CASPIAN SEA REGION ON KAZAKHSTAN'S FOREIGN POLICY
The Caspian Sea, located in Eurasia, is the core of the Central Asian-Caspian region, which is unique in geopolitical terms and has historically been a "hotbed" of rivalry between nations and powers. More importantly, in the 21st century, the Caspian region remains the most strategically important "world energy treasure trove", and its rich oil and gas resources attract countries from around the world to participate in energy competition in the region. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, five independent sovereign states (Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan) were formed on the territory of the Caspian region, which brings us to the essence of the issue of demarcation of the Caspian region borders, i.e. determination of its legal status. The uncertainty of the legal status of the Caspian Sea will have a significant impact on the use of water resources and exploitation of oil resources. Therefore, the legal status of the Caspian Sea and how it should be divided is a major concern for countries around the world. On August 12, 2018, the presidents of the five Caspian littoral states – Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkmenistan – signed the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea in the western city of Aktau in Kazakhstan, which fully takes into account the legal status of the Caspian Sea.
This convention clarifies the rights and obligations of the countries, taking full account of the real needs of the littoral states for political stability, as well as the real issues of promoting the development of the Caspian Sea region and protecting the region's natural resources. Kazakhstan borders the Caspian Sea to the west, so the Caspian Sea region has an important political, economic and environmental impact on Kazakhstan. In general, the geopolitical competition between the Caspian Sea region and extra-regional actors has a significant impact on Kazakhstan's foreign policy. By pursuing a diversified foreign policy, Kazakhstan tends to seek a balance with various powers and maximize its own national interests.
Key words: Geopolitical competition, regional games, foreign policy.

THE PROSPECTS OF THE GERMAN-CHINESE ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN THE CHANGING WORLD
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in 2022-2023. The Federal Republic of Germany is in the midst of an energy crisis that risks developing into a structural crisis of the economy. In parallel, Germany declares its refusal to expand cooperation with the People's Republic of China. Large-scale economic cooperation between Germany and China and its possible immediate prospects have been studied. Both the political and economic components of the relationship between Germany and China are comprehensively analyzed, as well as the possibility of developing relations of complex interdependence between Germany and the PRC and the prospects for the development of Russian-Chinese ties. The political, economic, and military aspects of the relationship between Germany and China, including existing problems, are consistently examined. It is concluded that with proper allocation of resources, Russia may in the future gain priority over Germany in the structure of China's foreign economy. In addition, Russia is a more important political partner for China than Germany. Regarding the prospects for interaction between Germany and China, the forecast is negative. The trend of the emerging “German-Chinese cooperation pie” is gradually becoming less and less significant.
Key words: Germany, China, complex interdependence, business-as-usual, conditionality, investment cooperation.

TOOLS FOR ENSURING ENERGY SECURITY IN MODERN ITALY
The article deals with the problems of energy policy and security as a component of the national security of any country on the example of Italy. The purpose of the study is to create a general idea of the trends in energy policy over the past two decades. The author set himself the task of reviewing the general issues and management tools in the field of energy used to ensure energy security, the task of reviewing the energy balance of the region and the recent revision of priorities in energy policy. The study was carried out using methods of generalization and systematization based on materials from Russian and foreign sources published in 2015-2023. The author focuses on the fact that scientific and technological progress, the functioning of production and its development, and the economy as such depend on the success of the fuel and energy complex. The energy policy determines the foreign and domestic policy of the country, the nature and independence of the decisions made, including within the framework of associations of countries. The article provides practical examples of Italy's application of risk management tools in the process of ensuring energy security. It is concluded that the country's proactive position and ability to relatively quickly change priorities in energy policy are in line with the interests of national security, taking into account the vector of European integration. The government clearly follows the chosen energy strategy, applies various risk management tools and fulfills the obligations assumed by the country, despite the country's high energy dependence and a large need for energy resources amid a deteriorating economic situation. Questions about the cost of changing energy policy priorities for Italian taxpayers and households, the short-term and long-term impact of the rejection of Russian energy carriers on the Italian economy, are seen as promising areas for further research in a number of related sciences.
Key words: RES, renewable energy sources, Italy, risk management, energy, energy security, energy balance, energy security, energy dialogue, energy system, sanctions.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL THEORY: MAIN DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
Nowadays the study of international politics has a truly global character. Political relations between states should be studied in the context of various theories, which together constitute the theory of international politics. Among the numerous theories of international relations, the most fundamental one is the the realistic theory. In this article the author analyzes two types of realism as a theory of international relations: the theory of classical realism and the theory of neorealism. The author addresses the issue of the formation of classical realism by appealing to the founders of realist political theory. In addition, the author examines the principles of the constructivist theory of political relations, which is a social theory that argues that important aspects of international relations are shaped by ideological postulates rather than simply material factors.
Key words: international politics, international relations, realism, neo-realism, constructivism.

THE REGIONAL POLICY OF THE ARCTIC IN THE FOREIGN POLICY OF RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES
The complex geopolitical situation in the world has only emphasized the importance and importance of the Arctic region on the global world stage. The Arctic turned out to be the desired point where it is possible to build up military and political power most quickly by means of mastering transport corridors and communication routes. Another equally important reason for increasing the attractiveness of the Arctic region was the reduction in the volume of ice, which opened up new opportunities for the extraction of natural resources, in particular 22% of the world's oil and gas reserves, presumably located under the waters of the Arctic, in addition to the possibility of mining minerals, diamonds, iron ore and gold. The strategic importance of the Arctic region is also attached to the location at the shortest point for a nuclear missile strike by the Russian Federation and the United States.
Key words: Arctic region, foreign policy, relations between Russia and the United States, rivalry of powers, security, confrontation of world powers, foreign policy of Russia and the United States in the Arctic region.

ANACHRONISMS AND ETHICS OF NEW WARS
War and the ethical problematics of this phenomenon in terms of the new political reality and spatial relation occupy an exceptional position and are of interest from scientific and practical point of view. Being an anachronism, war in Russian literature is considered primarily from the perspective of international relations and history, while the "new wars" are in the plane of ethics and philosophy requiring analysis of its new role. In addition, the subject field of research and the renewal of the nature of war in the XX century due to the transformation of the just war theory raise questions about its ethical component. At the same time, the linguistic concepts of the military and political discourse are being blurred, and as a result of the use of the latest technologies and the widespread of PMCs, cyberattacks and robotic systems while waging "new wars", an accurate definition of the actors of military operations is becoming impossible, while the status of hostilities acquires the character of a grey zone from the point of view of international law.
Key words: new and old wars, anachronisms, ethics of new wars, transformation of wars, hybrid warfare as a new generation of wars, the ethics of armed conflicts, postmodern wars.
