The article describes the process of developing studies of the image of Russia in China based on Russian and Chinese sources. In the last quarter of the XX century. Soviet people became particularly interested in the attitude of the Chinese to the USSR / Russia. Russian studies of the image of their country in China are mainly associated with the names of S.L. Tikhvinsky, Y.M. Galenovich, N.V. Ten, M.E. Panina, O.D. Tugulova, I.V. Stavrov, etc. The article analyzes the main results of the research conducted by these authors. It is noted that, exploring the image of Russia in China according to Chinese literary sources, Russian authors mainly call such Chinese names as Ke Huixin, Zheng Chunli, Wu Yan, Li Suian, Wu He, etc. Among these sources, a special place belongs to the monograph “The Image of Russia in China (1949–2009)”, published by Li Suian in 2012, who was the first to perform a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the process of forming the image of Russia in China. All these studies convey the precious experience of studying the image of Russia in China. This experience is based on a comprehensive diachronic analysis carried out within the framework of imagological research.

Purpose. The main purpose of writing the work were to study the changes that occurred in the activities of the modern civil society after the start of the Special Military Operation (SVO), characterize the activities and determine the role of patriotic public opinion leaders (telegram channels, military correspondents) in the ongoing transformation processes. Method. This study used the analytical method (studying the essence and effectiveness of the interaction between Internet platforms and the structure of civil society), the historical method (studying the history of the formation of Russian civil society), and the deductive method (recognizing telegram channels as informing, stimulating and agitating, as well as their mediating role between society and power). Conclusions. During the research, the main processes occurring in the institutions of civil society and the directions of information and activities of popular patriotic Internet platforms were identified. When conducting an analysis and analogy of social processes stimulated by SVO, and the characteristics of educational, propaganda and organizational publications in telegram channels, similar features of these social phenomena were identified, as a result of which a conclusion was made about the relationship between civil society and the activities of leading patriotic telegram channels and LOMs as general and private accordingly, in recognizing the latter as an institution of civil society. The author has suggested that the process of formation of civil society in Russia received unprecedented stimulation with the beginning of the SVO, while it is largely directed by the activities of opinion leaders and patriotic telegram channels, which in turn are both the result and the stimulus (locomotive) for the development of Russian civil society. Practical use. As a result of the study, theoretical information regarding the institutions of civil society was expanded, a new and promising direction in the development and management of the activities of civil society in Russia was proven, which can be used in its further study. Social consequences. A study of the effectiveness of the activities of telegram channels/LOMs not only in terms of informing the population, but also in implementing the functions of stimulating and organizing public life and their recognition as part of civil society states the significance of this social phenomenon, which, in turn, stimulates the attention of society to this type of activity and prolongs its comprehensive development. Originality. The presented work is intended for the scientific community, students of humanities faculties, and the public interested in the problems of the development of civil society in general and Russian society in particular.

Within the framework of this article, the subject-language competence of a future graduate of a non-linguistic university is considered as a factor of the effectiveness of foreign language education. In the changing conditions of reality, which is increasingly characterized by unjustifiability, instability, attention is drawn to the role of subject-language competence of a future graduate of a non-linguistic university, its place in line with professionally significant qualities of students. In the conducted experimental research and statistical analysis of the data, it is concluded that the development of this parameter is a necessary condition for the effectiveness of educational activities. The analysis of experimental data indicates significant dynamics in the development of a positive attitude of students to activities of a moral and aesthetic nature. At the beginning of the training, the experimental group performed the proposed tasks neutrally, without interest, without showing initiative. In their final survey, most of the students expressed a desire to study the culture and traditions of their own and other countries further, as well as to discuss and solve the problems of moral choice faced by adolescents. The results of experimental work confirmed the effectiveness of the developed technology aimed at the moral and aesthetic education of students.

The article is staged and designed to find theoretical and methodological grounds for identifying and analyzing unified factors that contribute to the organization of an effective communication management space in the regions of Russia. The article systematizes existing sociological approaches to the concept of the social agent. It provides dictionary definitions of terms “agent” and “actor”, which are often used interchangeably in academic literature. Through a theoretical analysis of works by international scientists there were identified three unified models of the social agent: the individual actor; the collective actor (subject); an intermediate type combining individual and collective aspects. This typology is applied to analyze contemporary managerial agents (practitioners) involved in the development and implementation of strategic state programs (the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development, National Projects, etc.). The described models of social agent interaction contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms forming the communicative space of management, as well as processes of unification and diversification in organization and formation of its structure. This article proposes a methodological approach to analyzing the properties of practitioners in the contemporary field of management. Based on a qualitative analysis of official documents, key characteristics of managers as social agents have been identified and unified, allowing preliminary conclusions about their role in the processes of strategic and spatial development of Russia. This article’s methodology for analyzing the properties of the social agents provides a foundation for future research assessing the potential standardization of management strategies across Russia. The authors emphasize the need for further research into regional characteristics, including sociocultural ones, for a more complete understanding of this issue.

The article examines the reasons for the appeal of the modern scientific and political community to the theories of solidarity. Developed by the beginning of the twentieth century. they were antagonists to the liberal and revolutionary theories of that time. France was a kind of center of solidarity in this era. Various variants of it are being formulated here, including the concept of “legal solidarity”. One of the creators of the latter was Leon Duguit, a well-known French jurist and public figure. The ideas expressed by him were used in subsequent times by scientists and politicians who formulated the concept of a “socially oriented state”.

The modern world is experiencing a rapid transformation due to the increasing use of digital technologies. These technologies are changing the way we live, work, communicate, and interact with others. This transformation is also affecting political processes and the way power is established and maintained. One of the main ways that digital technology is changing the world is through the way information is produced, shared, and consumed. The latest advancements in information and communication technologies are making it easier to communicate and share information quickly and easily. This, in turn, is changing the way political power is formed and legitimized. The more information is available online, through social media and other digital platforms, the more impact it has on people’s political views and actions. This information can motivate individuals and groups to participate in political events, but it also creates new opportunities for political manipulation. In the age of information overload, it is important for political leaders to be able to select, interpret, and share information effectively. This is because people often find it difficult to distinguish between reliable and unreliable information online. This study explores the changing nature of political leadership in the information age.

The article explores new practices in regional management and highlights methods for managing cultural heritage in the context of increasingly complex institutions and potential polarization of opinions within territorial communities. On the one hand, management institutions emerged, grew stronger and evolved during the turbulent years of the 1990s and 2000s. On the other hand, at this stage, there is already a need to adapt these mechanisms and institutions to modern hipster culture, which has permeated through the creative industries established in the last decade. There are attempts to integrate them into management structures. There is a risk of a new gap between territorial administration, science and practice, especially considering the processes of vertical and horizontal social mobility, as well as the growing demographic problems and depopulation of rural areas.

The article examines the cultural archetypal foundations of the formation of the spiritual foundations of the ministry of the Russian army. Three principles are presented as such: the image of the Mother, the image of the Father and the religious illumination of the sacred marriage (hierogamy) between them. The evolution of these principles is traced at various stages of the development of the country and the armed forces. It is suggested that the state of the country’s defense capability, the level of patriotic feelings of the soldiers largely depended on how harmoniously the three principles presented were combined. It is concluded that the current spiritual state of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation depends on compliance with traditional principles.

The article presents empirical research findings that demonstrate how using various forms of multimodal game modeling in classes can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the educational module “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”. These forms of game modeling should be interspersed and specifically focused on finding ways to solve important problems for students, their families, and our country as a whole. The research also indicates that without active and purposeful teacher assistance, most modern students are not able to use the materials of the “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood” module in a practical way. Without outside encouragement, many students are not ready to see the knowledge in this module as a guide to action, an incentive for personal goal-setting, or even information about the possibilities available to them. The article describes how multimodal game modeling can effectively address this problem by cultivating a sense of responsibility for one’s own fate and the fate of one’s country, recognizing their inseparable connection. It also helps students to determine their priorities proactively and meaningfully, and to connect the implementation of personal life plans with the strategic goals and objectives of their country.

The implementation of the new curriculum within the framework of the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood” was carried out in an initially negative informational and psychological environment, with a number of presuppositions characteristic of students and their parents, due to their unwillingness to act as objects of “ideological” influence, as evidenced by various sociological studies and surveys. This challenge, which consists in the initial antagonism of the environment (students and their parents) and the actor (teacher), is an intellectual challenge for teachers who are entrusted with reading the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”, endowed with an obvious ideological and educational mission. At the same time, professional duties require the teacher to consider the mentioned challenge as a pedagogical task, and therefore the question of choosing a method of teaching the discipline is one of the key and essential in the successful implementation of the course and, ultimately, achieving the state goal of forming a patriotic, active student’s personality, linking his future with development. countries. Teachers using the video project method note that it is one of the most effective teaching methods at the university, aimed at visualizing the learning process through student reflection and multimodality. For two years, this method was used by the author of the article as an optional form of organizing student’s independent work; the approbation of the method made it possible to form observations regarding the expediency, limitations and prospects of its use in the educational process.

The article presents an overview of the best practices in implementing the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”, introduced into the educational process of universities since September 2023. The experience of implementing the course in Russian universities demonstrates a variety of methods, technologies and specific practices in teaching the discipline. At the same time, it is considered that the course has an ideological character, raises the most important elements of value issues and is aimed at forming patriotic attitudes of student youth, their involvement in the current socio-political agenda. Based on the university information websites, the most successful educational practices used in organizing classroom and extracurricular work with students as part of the course are highlighted. The effects of the given educational formats are substantiated considering the results of specialized surveys of students who have completed the course. The authors emphasize the importance of interactive and proactive forms of teaching aimed at forming students’ sustainable interest in the course content, as well as motivating students to specific activities directly in the course of mastering the academic discipline.

introduction. The article deals with the problem of forming a sovereign Russian political science that reflects the country’s historical experience and realities. Special attention is paid to the fundamental differences between Russian and Western political traditions, especially pronounced in the 20th century. The relevance lies in creating a conceptual framework for Russian political development. Purpose.
