The article analyzes the processes of regional construction and their specific features in the Baltic Sea region. The article provides insights into main approaches to defining the notion of the Baltic Sea Region, its geography, rationales and preconditions of the Baltic Sea Region construction. The author makes conclusion that currently the construction process is being continued, and it involves a wide range of actors: NGOs, local and regional authorities, scientific organizations, higher education institutions, business structures, international organizations. All these actors use different tools and act in different spheres. Although there is no clear answer to the question "Who and how constructs the Baltic Sea Region?", it is concluded that the cooperation played a significant role in this process, for example, by determining the geography of the region and creating communication networks. Projects, in turn, become a widespread form of cooperation which are used by large Baltic interregional organizations, such as the Northern Dimension, Interregional programmes, the Council of the Baltic Sea States. International project activity of the described above actors, being the point of pooled resources application and also narratives on the regional issues, became one of the mechanisms of the region construction. The article proves that a wide variety of projects in various fields with the participation of different actors creates a picture of the Baltic Sea region building some of its features and providing common identity and responsibility ideas.

The paper determines the vector of influence of the "shale revolution" on international energy markets based on the analysis of volume and price dynamics of world oil and gas markets, as well as energy trade in the United States. The study contains a multilateral assessment of trends emerging from the development of shale technologies. Using regression models, the authors trace a statistically significant impact of the "shale revolution" on the price dynamics of the global energy market. Panel data analysis for the period from 2010 to 2019 shows a direct dependence between the decline in energy imports in the United States and global oil and gas prices, and the inverse dependence between the increase in exports from the United States and prices of oil (Brent) and European gas (NBP). Due to active use and continuous improvement of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques in the second decade of the twenty-first century the USA is decreasing its energy import dependency and transforming into a net exporter of hydrocarbons. It results in the supply disbalance on global energy markets. The ongoing changes in the US oil and gas production are leading to the transformation of geopolitical situation on world energy markets. If a decade ago, the US strategy was aimed at guaranteeing stable energy supplies, now it is the capture of markets and crowding out competitors by all possible means.

Цель статьи – исследование существующих моделей сертификации по латинскому языку. Для этого были выбраны три наиболее известные системы тестирования: американская National Latin Exam (NLE), европейская European Latin Exam (ELEX), проводимая ассоциацией Euroclassica, и European Latin Linguistic Assessment (EULALIA), организатором которой является Университет Болоньи в рамках программы Европейского союза Erasmus+. Актуальность исследования связана c отсутствием в настоящие время общей системы сертификации по латинскому языку для русскоязычных обучающихся и с вопросом о целесообразности и эффективности языковой сертификации применительно к классическим мертвым языкам. В статье проанализированы и сопоставлены история создания экзаменов, их философия, формат проведения, цели, задачи и содержание. Новизна работы заключается в системном сравнительном исследовании международных экзаменов как нового этапа в истории классического образования. В результате исследования была выстроена история возникновения и развития тестирования по латинскому языку. Выяснилось, что существующие экзамены имеют общую тенденцию – заимствование моделей оценки владения живыми языками для классического языка. Такой подход может быть реализован лишь отчасти, так как латинский язык имеет свой уникальный набор ключевых компетенций, необходимых для освоения. Международная сертификация по латинскому языку – это движение, которое всесторонне влияет на подходы к преподаванию латинского языка.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the existing models of Latin certification. For this purpose, three currently known testing systems were chosen: the American National Latin Exam (NLE), the European Latin Exam (ELEX) conducted by the European Association Euroclassica and the European Latin Linguistic Assessment (EULALIA), which was organized by the University of Bologna within the framework of the European Union Erasmus+ programme. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of a common certification system in Latin for Russian-speaking learners and due to the question of the expediency and effectiveness of language certification in relation to classical dead languages. The article analyses and compares the history of the creation of the examinations, their philosophy, format, goals, objectives and content. The novelty lies in the systematic comparative study of international examinations as a stage in the history of classical education. As a result of the study, the history of the emergence and development of Latin language testing has been constructed. It turned out that the existing examinations have a common tendency: borrowing models of assessment of proficiency in living languages for the classical language. This approach can only be partially realized as Latin has its own unique set of core competencies to master. International Latin language certification is a movement that is comprehensively influencing approaches to Latin language teaching.

In accordance with United Nations General Assembly resolution, the year 2019 was proclaimed the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was designated as the lead organization for its implementation. At the present day, the UNESCO is the largest UN specialized agency with broad competence in providing interstate collaboration in the area of science, capable of playing a unique role for promotion of peace and sustainable development. The establishment of UN observances stimulates interest in the activities and programs of the organization in these areas, and also contributes to the intensification of activities at the international level. The proclamation of 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table is a recognition of the important role of the basic sciences, in particular, achievements in the field of chemistry and physics, in addressing the numerous development challenges that the world is currently facing in implementing the United Nations "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". The International Year under the auspices of UNESCO provides an opportunity to mobilize all interested parties around the topic of science for peace and development – from government officials to media representatives and schoolchildren.

In conditions when the water factor is increasingly affecting the economic development of the CIS countries, the adoption and implementation of modern technological and organizational and managerial decisions on the most effective use of water become an urgent, imperative necessity. This is all the more so because, on the one hand, the decarbonization recommended by the UN cannot be considered as the main means of solving the water problem in the economies of the Commonwealth States. On the other hand, reducing the water capacity of these economies can both accelerate their technological renewal, and become a factor in reducing the negative climate changes occurring in the post-Soviet-Eurasian area. Starting from these considerations, the authors of the article use the example of Azerbaijan — a country with limited water resources — to identify ways to modernize the water management system. This management reform is designed to address aspects of the water problem related not only to climate change, water pollution and large losses during delivery to consumers, but also to the water management policies of neighboring States located upstream of the main rivers. According to the author's final conclusion, the experience of Azerbaijan shows a very significant role of various formats of international cooperation in the creation of effective national integrated water resources management systems in the CIS countries.

Настоящая статья посвящена вопросу использования пословицы, уточнению ее роли в обучении русскому языку как иностранному. В работе применяется аксиологический подход к изучению афористического жанра. Знакомство с пословицей как средоточием ценностных, эстетических ориентиров способствует развитию коммуникативных навыков, формирует представление о русской культуре, ее своеобразии, народных традициях и обычаях, особенностях русского характера. Поэтически закрепляя ментальную картину народной культуры, обнаруживая аналоги в языках разных народов, пословица неизменно привлекает внимание ученых-филологов. Актуальность исследования определяется ценностно ориентированным аспектом изучения народных афоризмов в структуре уроков русского языка как иностранного, соответствующим гуманизирующей роли современного образовательного процесса. В статье рассматриваются пословицы о языке как одной из основополагающих составляющих ценностного мира и особенно интересные всем любителям словесности. Народные изречения расширяют словарный запас обучающихся, сочетают лексические единицы различной стилевой принадлежности, закрепляют необходимость бережного отношения к слову, укрепляют мотивацию к освоению языка. Включение пословиц в уроки русского языка как иностранного является базовым элементом формирования лингвокультурологической компетенции обучающихся. Знание пословичных выражений, умение уместно употреблять их в различных контекстах свидетельствует о высокой степени коммуникативной активности студента-иностранца, делает его речь более естественной и образной.
This article is devoted to the issue of using the proverb, clarifying its role in teaching Russian as a foreign language. The work employs an axiological approach to the study of the aphoristic genre. The proverb as a focus of value and aesthetic orientations contributes to the development of communication skills, forms an idea of Russian culture, its originality, folk traditions and customs, and the peculiarities of the Russian character. Poetically fixing the mental picture of folk culture, revealing the analogs in the languages of different peoples, the proverb invariably attracts the attention of philologists. The relevance of the research is determined by the value-oriented aspects of the study of folk aphorisms in the structure of RFL lessons, which correspond to the humanizing role of the modern educational process. The article deals with proverbs about language as one of the fundamental components of the value world and is especially interesting for all lovers of literature. Folk sayings expand the vocabulary of students, combine lexical units of various styles, reinforce the need for careful attitude to the word, strengthen the motivation of learning the language. The inclusion of proverbs in the lessons of the RFL is a basic element of the formation of linguistic and cultural competence of students. Knowledge of proverbial expressions, the ability to use them appropriately in various contexts indicates a high degree of communicative activity of a foreign student, makes his speech more natural and imaginative.

The research on women's history presented in this publication supplements the gap existing in polish historiography. The gap includes not only knowledge about the activities of women's organizations associated in the Women's International Democratic Federation (including the polish Social-Civic League of Women). The same applies to the assessment of the role of women in political, social and cultural changes taking place in Poland (and in the world) in the first years after the end of World War II. The main purpose of this publication is to show the historical conditions of the activities of the Social-Civic League of Women, as well as similar organizations in other European, African and North American countries. The basic source used in the research process is the monthly «Praca Kobiet» (and additionally the periodical «Nasza Praca»). The work uses a methodology typical for studies based on press sources. Their list includes the following methods: analytical-empirical, deductive-nomological, deductive-hypothetical and classical method of content analysis. The effect of the undertaken research is to establish that the information articles on the activities of organizations associated in the Women's International Democratic Federation published on the pages of the «Praca Kobiet» monthly were in fact agitation and propaganda. The polish feminist press manipulated facts and thus influenced the formation of pro-communist and anti-Western views of women. The topic is not exhausted and needs to be continued. Further research will require a wider use of press sources not only from Poland, but also from other countries.
