The scientific report examines the history of the emergence and formation of the system of public education of young children in Russia and abroad. The analysis focuses on the education of children from 1.5 to 3 years old. The necessity of a much larger-scale approach to the issues of additional professional education of teachers (retraining, advanced training), taking into account the specifics of the education of young children, is substantiated.

"The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously--carefully." Maye Musk at seventy-one is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends. But things were not always so easy or glamourous--she became a single mom at thirty-one years old, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietician, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life." As the twenty-and thirty-somethings who follow her obsessively on social media know, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan"--

V ikh radosti͡akh i poteri͡akh, nadezhdakh i razocharovanii͡akh otrazilasʹ istorii͡a strany. Kak i u li͡uboĭ semʹi ... a pesni po radio, knigi i odezhda v shkafu, skudnai͡a ili obilʹnai͡a eda za semeĭnym stolom -- svideteli poroĭ bolee pravdivye, chem sami li͡udi. Nuzhno tolʹko prislushatʹsi͡a k ikh rasskazam ..." = "In this book, there are no secrets. For over a century we've been welcome in Muromtseva apartment in one of the oldest houses in Moscow. Their joys and losses, hopes and disappointments reflect the history of their country. As with any family ... a song on the radio, books and clothes in the closet, scanty or abundant food for the family table are witnesses sometimes more truthful than the people themselves. One need only listen to the stories ..."--Epilogue (translated in English)

The paper is about Sergej Ivanovič Zarudnyj, a central figure in Tsar Alexander II's "great reforms". Descended from the family of a Cossack staršyna from Sloboda Ukraine, Zarudnyj had a brillant career in the imperial capital as a engaged reformer of Russia's backwards legal system. His cultural origins, his family's history, and his education at Kharkiv University deeply affected his translation work and legal discourse; in both of these spheres, he aimed to introduce and popularize the products of Italian legal culture in the Russian Empire.

'Wising Up to the Costs of Aging' looks at how falling fertility and rising life expectancy have combined to threaten the ability of many countries to provide a decent standard of living for the old without imposing a crushing burden on the young. In our lead article, Ronald Lee and Andrew Mason say that while population aging in rich industrial countries as well as in some middle- and lower-income countries will challenge public and private budgets in many ways, a combination of reduced consumption, postponed retirement, increased asset holdings, and greater investment in human capital should
