В конце ХХ в. в жизни постсоветского общества возникло новое культурно-идеологическое явление — консюмеризм, этапы становления которого не пройдены до сих пор. Статья посвящена рассмотрению основных периодов становления консюмеризма и его специфики на советском и постсоветском пространстве. Отмечается, что консюмеризм в культурном пространстве Советского Союза не был представлен как идеология. Он был способом адаптации к сложным социокультурным условиям. В постсоветский период в результате смены политического режима и государственной идеологии наблюдается стремительное распространение не только консюмеристских стандартов и практик, но и потребительских ценностей и идеалов. = At the end of the 20 th century in Russian society appeared a new cultural and ideological phenomenon — consumerism, the stages of introduction of which haven't been passed yet. The article considers major periods of introduction of consumerism and its specificity in the soviet and post-soviet space. It is noted that consumerism in the cultural space of the Soviet Union was not presented as an ideology. It was a way of adaptation to the complex socio-cultural conditions. In the post-Soviet period, as a result of change of the political regime and the state ideology, there was a rapid spread not only of consumeristic standards and practices, but also specific values and ideals. The article reveals that Consumerism in modern Russia constitutes a new cultural reality.

Japan – U.S. relations, which are of great importance for the both countries as well as for international relations in North-East Asia and the Indo-Pacifi c, have experienced signifi cant changes in recent years. While continuing to maintain close military-political alliance with the United States and recognize unconditionally its leadership regarding the choice of strategic course and priorities, Japan is increasingly promoting its own regional policy agenda and its vision of national interests. The main task of its government, headed by Shinzo Abe, is a kind of «rebranding» Japan in political terms as a «normal» country void of negative historical heritage with the ability to employ a full set of foreign policy tools and promote its interests on a regional scale. The said task brings about new accents in Japan's relations with the USA in the sphere of security, in solving regional political problems and regulating mutual trade and investment. At the same time, bilateral relations are viewed by Japan as a complex set where some elements can be used as a tool or traded as parts of a package deal to secure a comprehensive solution.The United States, for its part, is focusing on maintaining its role as the undisputed leader, trying to neutralize Japan's attempts to break the framework of the established hierarchical order and change the logic of bilateral relations to that of trading concessions and optimizing complex network balance.Since the change of presidential administration in the US in 2017 there has been a marked decay of long-established consensus on the desirability of further liberalization of international trade and investment through multilateral agreements and frameworks. Like other countries, Japan faced a persistent drive by Trump administration to withdraw from them in favor of bilateral agreements on managed and balanced trade. Japan's government had to give in to the US pressure and begin negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement designed to reduce imbalance of trade fl ows between the two countries through policy steps to be taken mainly by the Japanese side. ; Отношения между Японией и США, имеющие немаловажное значение как для двух этих стран, так и для международных отношений в Северо-Восточной Азии и на Индо-Тихоокеанском пространстве, в последние годы демонстрируют существенные изменения. Сохраняя в неизменном качестве тесный военно-политический союз с США и признавая безусловное лидерство последних при определении стратегического курса и приоритетных задач, Япония все активней продвигает собственную повестку региональной политики и видение национальных интересов. Главной задачей ее правительства, возглавляемого Синдзо Абэ, является своего рода политический ребрендинг Японии как более не отягощенной отрицательным историческим наследием «нормальной» страны с обширным внешнеполитическим инструментарием и ясно выраженными региональными интересами. Эта задача определяет и новые акценты в практике двусторонних японо-американских отношений в сфере безопасности, при решении региональных политических проблем и в регулировании торгово-инвестиционных связей. При этом двусторонние отношения рассматриваются Японией в качестве комплексного явления, в котором одни его элементы могут использоваться в качестве инструмента или средства размена для поиска решений по другим.США, со своей стороны, сосредоточены на задаче сохранения своей прежней роли безусловного лидера, пытаясь нейтрализовать попытки Японии выйти за рамки прежней иерархии и перевести отношения в режим обмена уступками и оптимизации сложного сетевого баланса.Особенностью периода после смены президентской администрации США в 2017 г. стало обнуление прежнего инерционного консенсуса относительно желательности дальнейшей либерализации международной торговли и инвестиций на основе многосторонних соглашений и структур глобального и регионального масштаба. Как и другие страны, Япония столкнулась с настойчивым желанием администрации Д. Трампа уйти от них в пользу двусторонних договоренностей об управляемой и сбалансированной торговле. Её правительство было вынуждено уступить давлению США и начать переговоры о заключении двустороннего торгового соглашения, призванного уменьшить неравновесие товарных потоков политико-административными мерами, главным образом с японской стороны. Однако и в этой сфере японское правительство пытается противопоставить американскому подходу асимметричную тактику связанных «разменов» и широкого использования многосторонних схем.

Ideological features of parliamentary political parties of the Russian Federation at the present stage are considered. The processes of formation of conservatism as the official ideology of the United Russia party are touched upon. Attention is paid to the phenomenon and values of the concept of "Russian conservatism". In addition, we consider the conservative attitudes and elements contained in the ideologies of the political parties of the Communist party, "Just Russia", the LDPR. The study was conducted in the framework of partology, through historical and descriptive methods, as well as the method of analysis and study of documents.Key words: political party, ideology, conservatism, Russian conservatism, socialism, social democracy, liberal democracy, patriotism. ; В статье рассматриваются идеологические особенности парламентских политических партий Российской Федерации на современном этапе. Затрагиваются процессы становления консерватизма в качестве официальной идеологии партии «Единая Россия». Уделяется внимание феномену и ценностям понятия «российский консерватизм». Кроме того, рассматриваются консервативные установки и элементы, содержащиеся в идеологиях политических партий КПРФ, «Справедливая Россия», ЛДПР. Исследование проведено в рамках партологии, посредством исторического и описательного методов, а также метода анализа и изучения документов.Ключевые слова: политические партии, идеология, консерватизм, российский консерватизм, социализм, социал-демократия, либерал-демократия, патриотизм.

В статье рассматриваются вопросы определения применимого права к отношениям с участием культурных ценностей. Отмечается, что ни в законодательстве Республики Беларусь, ни в многосторонних международных договорах не закреплена типовая коллизионная привязка к таким специфическим объектам гражданского оборота, как культурные ценности. При разрешении судебных дел преимущественно используются нормы коллизионного права, применимые к вещным и договорным обязательственным отношениям. Исходным коллизионным началом при рассмотрении споров о возвращении произведений искусства и других культурных ценностей в мировой практике выступает принцип lex rei sitae (закон места нахождения вещи). Однако его применение не всегда гарантирует защиту прав собственника пропавшей культурной ценности перед ее добросовестным приобретателем, что может быть использовано недобросовестными участниками международного оборота. Автор обосновывает и предлагает нормативное закрепление новой коллизионной привязки — закон государства, в котором культурная ценность зарегистрирована в качестве объекта культурного наследия. Применение данного коллизионного принципа, по мнению автора, могло бы иметь место, когда спорный предмет историко-культурного значения выступает объектом культурного наследия определенного государства путем его включения в охранный реестр (список) и имеется подтверждение данного статуса. Это позволит в наибольшей степени учесть интерес государства, в котором спорная культурная ценность зарегистрирована как объект его культурного наследия, и обеспечить защиту нарушенного права собственности, а в целом — противостоять незаконному обороту объектов историко-культурного наследия современных государств. = The article considers the problems of determining applicable law regarding cultural values. It points out that neither the Republic of Belarus legislation nor multilateral international agreements fix typical format collision adherences to such special objects of civil circulation as cultural values. While settling court disputes, the norms of collision law are mainly used, those that are applicable to proprietory interest and contractual commitments. The basic collision commencement in settling disputes on return of art objects and other cultural values is, as practiced in the world, the lex rei sitae principle. But its application does not always guarantee the protection of the rights of the owner of the missing cultural value over the rights of its bona fide purchaser, which can be used by the unscrupulous members of international circulation. The author substantiates and proposes to fix as a norm a new collision adherence — the law of the state where the cultural value is registered as an item of its cultural heritage. This collision principle, in the author's opinion, could be applied in case when the disputed object of historical and cultural value is regarded as an item of the cultural heritage of a certain state through its inclusion in the protection register and this status is confirmed. This will permit to fully take into account the interests of the state where the disputed cultural heritage item is registered and to protect the violated right of ownership. In general, it will allow to counteract the illegal traffic in the objects of historical and cultural heritage of modern states.

The article is dedicated to the investigation of the principle of generalization in E.D. Zozulya's short stories and feuilletons of 1910-1920th. The author concentrates his attention on different types of generalization: socio-political, moral, psychological and philosophical, which often synthesize into a single whole. In the writer's works the interest to the inner world, processes in the human souls at the time of social cataclysms unites with humour. In E.D. Zozulya's short stories written during the Civil War, which are close to anti-utopia, the author's anticipation of consequences of inhuman Bolshevik politics is reflected. The feuilletons of 1920-th, on the contrary, demonstrate optimistic pathos. In the course of analysis the variety of stylistic devices used by the writer (allegory, grotesque, metaphor) and the fact of including genre dominants of parable, anti-utopia, animal epos and essay into the texts are accentuated. These means promote globalization of philosophical and socio-political generalizations.Key words: generalization, short story, feuilleton, allegory, parable, anti-utopia, animal epos. ; У статті розглядається своєрідність принципу художнього узагальнення в оповіданнях та фейлетонах Ю.Д. Зозулі, видатного сатирика 1910-20-х років. Автор концентрує увагу на різних видах типізації: соціально-політичних, моральних, психологічних та філософських, які часто синтезуються у єдине ціле.

Зозулі періоду Громадянської війни, близьких до антиутопії, відображено авторське передбачення наслідків антигуманної політики більшовиків. Фейлетони 20-х років, навпаки, демонструють оптимістичний пафос. У ході аналізу акцентується різноманітність прийомів, які використовуються письменником (алегорія, метафора, гротеск), факт включення у тексти жанрових домінант притчі, антиутопії, тваринного епосу та нарису.

Fundamental changes in the social and state system after the revolutionary events of 1917 initiated a series of large-scale changes in social relations and legal institutions, which could not but affect the penal system inherited by Soviet Russia from the Russian Empire. In the first months after the establishment of Soviet power, continuity with the pre-revolutionary order of organizing places of detention was maintained, subsequently, as Soviet legislation developed and the penitentiary system was reformed, the Soviet penal system began to acquire its own characteristic features. The article analyzes the conditions and processes of formation and formation of the penitentiary system of the Soviet state with the involvement of archival materials, legal acts and scientific works, examines their organizational structure, the composition of the governing bodies and their interdepartmental struggle, as well as the types of places of detention, conditions of detention, rights and duties of prisoners. The relevance of the study of the Soviet system of execution of punishments lies in the consideration of the contradictions of its development in the light, on the one hand, of the features of the historically revolutionary character inherent in these events, and on the other hand, the identified need to inherit some of the institutions of this system that existed under previous governments. In the current conditions of the ongoing reorganization of the correctional system after the collapse of the USSR, taking into account such experience can also be relevant and useful for further reforms.

Секция 4. Современные тенденции развития мировой экономики и международных экономических отношений ; С быстрым развитием экономики Китая, внешняя торговля Китая также значительно выросла, но существует много проблем. Низкотехнологичное содержание и продукты с низкой добавленной стоимостью в экспорте Китая составляют значительную долю, это стало важным фактором, ограничивающим эффективность развития внешней торговли Китая. Поэтому повышение технического уровня и улучшение качества продукции являются наиболее важными вопросами внешней торговли Китая. Кроме того, оптимизировать структуру внешней торговли Китая, особенно структуру экспортной продукции, решить дисбалансы, возникающие во внешней торговле, эти проблемы предстоит решать правительству Китая в перспективе. ; With the rapid development of China's economy, China's foreign trade has also grown greatly, but at the same time there are still many problems. Among the products exported by China, low-tech content and low value-added products account for a large proportion, which has become An important factor restricting the high quality development of China's foreign trade. Therefore, improving the technical content and improving product quality are the most important problems facing China's foreign trade. In addition, optimizing China's foreign trade structure, especially the structure of export products, and solving the imbalance of foreign trade, these issues need to be resolved by the Chinese government.

The article is aimed at thinking over current strategies of state opposition: indirect actions and "soft power" the realization of which was shaped into the information war on the background of strong rivalry for the spheres of influence between leading actors of international policy. Russian information aggression caused sharp political and military conflict to emerge in Ukraine. Information weaponry is of extreme strength, and it is this kind of weapon which will define a winner. ; Artykuł zawiera abstrakt jedynie w języku rosyjskim oraz angielskim. ; В статье представлен анализ современных стратегий государственного противоборства – непрямых действий и «мягкой силы», которые являются наиболее эффективными средствами ведения геополитической борьбы на международной арене, а в настоящее время – применяются в ходе информационной войны России против Украины. Российская информационная агрессия создала предпосылки для острого политического и военного конфликта в Украине. Информационное оружие обладает невероятной силой, и именно оно в конечном итоге определит победителя.

According to linguistic creativity studies, the text is a product of creative activity of the author, who uses linguistic innovations and creative means mainly at the lexical level. However, linguistic creativity can manifest itself at any linguistic level. The present research featured the manifestation of linguistic creativity at the level of communication and discourse. The paper describes the formats of interaction between the author and the reader in the text of a comic book, which acts as a parameter of linguistic creativity on the communicative and discursive level. American comic books about Spider-Man, Hulk, and Daredevil (1960s–1980s) contain the traditional narrator – reader / listener interaction when the author comments on the real events and gives detailed information about the devices and appliances used by the characters. New creative formats include we (creators) – you (reader) and we (creators and readers). In the we (creators) – you (reader) format, authors share their opinions on the current comic book, publish teasers about the next issue, congratulate themselves and the personages on the work done, and openly communicate with readers through letters to the editorial office. The we (creators and readers) format presupposes a joint participation of authors and readers in the story. These formats emerge under the influence of temporal, cultural, social, economic, and political factors and are mediated by the discursive practices of rotation, dissemination, approximation, convergence, etc. ; Современные тенденции в исследовании лингвокреативности сводятся к тому, что текст представляет собой продукт и результат творческой деятельности автора, использующего языковые инновации и лингвокреативные средства в основном на лексическом уровне. Однако лингвокреативность может проявляться на любом из языковых уровней. Предмет исследования – проявление лингвокреативности на коммуникативно-дискурсивном уровне. Цель – определить и описать форматы интеракции между автором и читателем в тексте комикса, ...

The message is a reaction of its authors to the lengthy article by academician S.Yu. Glaziev published in № 6 of the «Russian economic journal» for 2019 «Once again-on the same rake? (Special opinion of a member of the National financial Council on the draft «Main directions of the unified state monetary policy for 2020 and the period 2021 and 2022» of the Bank of Russia)», which fixes the unacceptably narrow interpretation of the «mega-regulator» of its constitutional duties and areas of application of regulatory tools, and argues for the unacceptability and harmful consequences of the authors of the draft of the subject of their analysis and the scope of Central Bank regulation to the dynamics of inflationary expectations of economic entities and the population. While agreeing in principle with this thesis, the authors of the communication offer their own arguments in its favor. At the same time, special attention is paid to the following two points. First, in Russian socio-economic realities: a) consumers have very little ability to change their spending in response to fluctuations in their inflation expectations; b) sellers (including employees) are extremely limited in imposing their conditions on buyers. Second, the methods for determining specific quantitative values of inflation expectations are far from perfect.

Problem and relevance. In recent years, new categories of service recipients have appeared in the system of social services – including persons suffering from alcohol and drug addiction, persons released from prison, persons without a fixed abode. The organization of effective work with these categories of citizens requires the introduction of new approaches and services, implying their differentiation according to the degree of need for social services and other types of social support, depending on the presence and number of risk factors for maladjustment and social isolation. The introduction of a single universal mechanism in the system of social services, taking into account, among other things, the specifics of these categories of citizens, will improve the quality of social services, ensure the optimization of budget expenditures and rational use of available resources, as well as solve the problem of effective resocialization and decriminalization of able-bodied citizens, the use of their labor potential. The purpose of this study was to adapt the mechanism for determining the individual need for social services and social support, taking into account the characteristics of various categories of able-bodied citizens who find themselves in a difficult life situation. Methodology. To conduct the study, the methods of theoretical scientific knowledge were used (analysis of legislative, methodological documents and scientific information, comparison, comparison, generalization, grouping), empirical methods (observation, conversations with specialists, studying the practical experience of organizations in assessing the needs for social services), sociological (survey of representatives of target groups). Results of study. Based on the study of modern international approaches to work with the indicated categories of citizens, the experience of Belarusian state and non-state organizations, their features as recipients of services and factors affecting the need for social services are revealed. With this in ...

In May 2021, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation adopted in the first reading a draft law On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)" and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" (in terms of reforming the institution of bankruptcy). This draft law provides for the differentiation of the concepts of "insolvency" and "bankruptcy". After analyzing the proposed changes, the author of the work came to the conclusion that the differentiation of the concepts under consideration is based on the content of the economic category and is justified, but requires an unconditional change in the criminal law on liability for crimes in the field of insolvency (bankruptcy) and unification of the terms contained in them with regulatory legislation. ; В мае 2021 г. Государственной Думой Федерального Собрания РФ в первом чтении принят законопроект «О внесении изменений в Федеральный закон «О несостоятельности (банкротстве)» и отдельные законодательные акты Российской Федерации» (в части реформирования института банкротства). Указанным законопроектом предусмотрена дифференциация понятий «несостоятельность» и «банкротство». Проанализировав предложенные изменения, автор работы пришел к выводу, что разграничение рассматриваемых понятий основано на содержании экономической категории «несостоятельность» и является оправданным, однако требует безусловного изменения уголовного закона об ответственности за преступления в сфере несостоятельности (банкротства) и унификации содержащихся в них терминов с регулятивным законодательством.

The regional policy pursued in the European Union which is often called the cohesion policy is characterized as an important factor helping to level the overall development of the European Union. In this regard, the study of the features of cohesion policy instruments using the example of the legal mechanisms of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is very relevant and has a high theoretical and practical significance. The object of the master's work is the legal regulation of social relations that arise about the implementation of the European cohesion policy by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The purpose of the master's work is a comprehensive analysis of the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development as an instrument of the European cohesion policy. Tasks of the master's work: 1) to give a concept, to characterize the essence and instruments of the implementation of the European cohesion policy; 2) to consider the evolution of the cohesion policy of the European Union; 3) to consider the features of creation, organizational structure and the aims of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; 4) to analyze the features and problems of the international legal status of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; 5) to characterize the features of the credit and investment activities of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; 6) to determine the role of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in the European cohesion policy. There were used dialectical, historical methods, the methods of formal logic, the comparative legal method, the statistical and the system methods and other methods of cognition. The master's work is devoted to the study of European cohesion policy instruments using the example of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development legal mechanisms. It has been found out that today the cohesion policy in the European Union is used as a synonym for regional policy, since it aims to bridge the gap in the levels of economic development and per capita income in different regions, to increase the economic solidarity of countries. A classification of European cohesion policy instruments has been proposed. It is proved that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is an international intergovernmental organization by its legal nature. The features of the legal status of the EBRD are defined. It has been found out that the lending by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to finance projects in a particular country is carried out in accordance with the EBRD's strategies for this country. The role of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development as an instrument of European cohesion policy is defined. The features of the social policy of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the environmental dimension of its investment activities in the framework of the European cohesion policy are identified. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is a comprehensive scientific work in which a theoretical study of the legal basis of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, including the implementation of the European cohesion policy goals by the bank, has been carried out. The master's work can be useful to researchers, lecturers, lawyers and students.
