The article deals with the analysis of social justice as a universal value that determines the evaluation of social practices in all the spheres of social life. But the study of such an evaluation of society in the sphere of interethnic relations is faced with a number of theoretical problems. The authors show that when evaluating interethnic relations in accordance with the criterion of social justice, due to the ambiguous interpretation of their meaning, it is necessary to rely on an interdisciplinary approach. An important area of this analysis is the correlation of the theoretical understanding of ethnicity and the practice of state building in the context of the cultural diversity of the population. Two strategies for achieving social justice in the sphere of interethnic relations are shown: the building of the SU ethno-nations and the building of the RF nation with securing civil rights in the sphere of the implementation of ethno-cultural identity and providing conditions for the development of ethno-cultural diversity.

The article analyzes the idea of justice in Western political philosophy. Drawing on his earlier publications, the author traces the history of the concept of justice in the "great ideologies" (liberalism, conservatism, and Marxism), and also examines in detail the main approaches to the understanding of justice in modern political theory. The author's task is not only to analyze certain attitudes to the problem of justice, but also to find the most satisfactory conception. As such, the conception of "functional capabilities" proposed by contemporary researchers Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum is mentioned first of all. ; Статья посвящена анализу идеи справедливости в западной политической философии эпохи модерна. Автор, отталкиваясь от своих более ранних публикаций, прослеживает историю концепции справедливости в «великих идеологиях» (либерализм, консерватизм, марксизм), а также достаточно подробно рассматривает основные подходы к пониманию справедливости в современной политической теории. Задача автора — не только анализ тех или иных позиций в отношении проблемы справедливости, но и поиск наиболее удовлетворительной ее концепции. В качестве таковой названа прежде всего концепция «функциональных возможностей» современных исследователей Амартии Сена и Марты Нуссбаум.

Рассматриваются протестные акты самоубийств, поднимающие вопросы угнетения и влияния коллективных действий на достижение социальной справедливости. Чтобы продемонстрировать взаимосвязь между данными явлениями, анализируется несколько случаев протестных самоубийств (начиная с 1960-х гг.). Рассматривается два вида протестных суицидов: 1) публичный протестный суицид, совершаемый преимущественно в общественных местах и привлекающий внимание к жертве и угнетению, символом которого она является; 2) кумулятивный суицид, т. е. массовые индивидуальные самоубийства по конкретному поводу, вынуждающие общественность реагировать на проявление общего недовольства. Анализируется значимость культурных, социальных, экономических и политических факторов, определяющих предрасположенность к совершению подобного рода актов и формирование реакции общественности на данные действия. Указывается необходимость дальнейшего сравнительного анализа этих сложных взаимосвязей. = The papers focuses on protest suicides that hightlight oppression and influence collective action for social justice and change. A few cases and contexts of protest suicides from the 1960s onwards are used to demonstrate this intersectionality. I address two types of protest suicides: first, the protest public suicide that is predominantly enacted in the public space and draws attention to the suicide victim and the oppression that the suicide victim represents or is alleged to represent. Second, the cumulative suicide where individuals commit suicide privately but because of the sheer cumulative number of those who do so due to a shared grievance, society is obliged to take notice. I examine the cultural, social, economic and political underpinnings of a society in determining the propensity to commit such an act and also in shaping societies reaction. The papers concludes by indicating the need for further comparative research on these complex intersections.

The journal is introducing a new heading: "Politico-economic dialogues". Under it we plan to publish authorised versions of conversations between representatives of the journal and leading Russian and international scholars on topics that relate to fundamental questions of political economy and economic policy. We shall begin with discussions broadcast by the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station on the program "Your Money", and hosted by this journal's chief editor A.V. Buzgalin. The discussions were conducted with three of our country's leading scholars, G.B. Kleyner, E.B. Lenchuk and D.E. Sorokin, and the topic was one that remains among the most timely in both its theoretical and practical respects. This topic was the role of the state in the economy.

In this article the author reviews the essence of social justice within the framework of sociological discourse. The importance of the social justice is outlined since it stands out for determining reform activities and social policy of the state as a social superstructure. The author states four basic concepts of social justice (egalitarian, utilitarian, Rawls concept and the market concepts) and analyzes each of them in the context of their possible use in Ukraine. The main focus of the article is on the Social Justice index, as newly invented social indices, which has been developed in the European Union and is updated annually by institutions of EU. The comparative analysis of countries' rankings in terms of social justice for 2014 and 2015 uncover changes that are discusses in the paper. It is noted that with every year the gap between the successful Nordic countries and those countries of the southern EU part that are still in the post-crisis phase is increasing. However, at the same time, in most countries of the EU the social justice index stays on the acceptable and a high level over the past years, and this level does not have the tendency to a deterioration. The author also examines possibilities of applying the Social Justice Index, and indices that compile it, in Ukraine. Ukraine is also analyzed in frame of the Index of Human Development of the United Nations, as another example of social indexes. ; В статье определена сущность социальной справедливости в рамках социологического дискурса. Отмечается, что социальная справедливость выступает как определяющая детерминанта преобразовательной деятельности, а также социальной политики государства как общественной надстройки. Автором рассматриваются четыре основные концепции социальной справедливости (эгалитарная, утилитаристская, роулсианская и рыночная), которые также проанализированы в контексте их возможного применения в Украине. Исследовано значение социальных индексов. В частности, рассмотрен Индекс социальной справедливости, который был разработан в Европейском Союзе и ежегодно обновляется евроинституциями. Определены общие тенденции изменения уровня социальной справедливости в странах ЕС. В рамках статьи проанализированы и оценены возможности применения Индекса социальной справедливости и его подиндексов в Украине. Также Украина анализируется с точки зрения Индекса человеческого развития ООН, как социального индекса. ; У даній статті розглядається сутність соціальної справедливості в рамках соціолог ічного дискурсу. Зазначається, що соціальна справедливість виступає як визначальна детермінанта перетворювальної діяльності, а також соціальної політики держави. Автором розглядаються чотири основні концепції соціальної справедливост і (егалітарна, утилітарна, роулсіанська та ринкова) та кожна з них проаналі- зована в контексті їх можливого використання в Україні. Основна увага в статті сфокусована на індексі соціальної справедливості, як новітньому соціальному показнику, що був розроблений в Європейському Союзі та щорічно оновлюється інститутами ЄС. Зазначається, що з кожним роком збільшується розрив між успішними країнами Північної Європи та країнами південної частини ЄС, які до сих пір перебувають в посткризовій фазі. Проте, в той же час, протягом останніх років в більшості країн ЄС індекс соціальної справедливості залишається не прийнятним на високому рівні, та в цілому не має тенденції до погіршення. Автор також розгляда є можливості застосування Індексу соціальної справедливості та його підіндекс ів в Україні. Україна також аналізується в рамках Індексу людського розвитку ООН, в якості іншого прикладу соціальних індексів.

The article discusses the principles of social justice in time and space. The emphasis is on transforming the understanding of social justice in Russia's social policy. Currently, the principle of social justice is implemented by the state in programs for the preservation and development of human capital. The national project «Human Capital» is focused on improving the level and quality of life of citizens, the accessibility of material and social capital, creating opportunities for self-realization and disclosing the talent of each person, and developing a system of social elevators. The authors analyze the change in perception of social justice in Russia for a long time. It is noted that at the beginning of the Soviet period the concept of «social justice» was practically not used. The term «justice» appeared in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia only in 1953, which is currently one of the most popular in public policy. Combining the economy with politics, social policy determines the direction of the main political forces and trends in the Russian Federation. ; В статье рассматриваются принципы социальной справедливости во времени и пространстве. Акцент делается на трансформации понимания социальной справедливости в социальной политике России. В настоящее время принцип социальной справедливости реализуется государством в программах по сохранению и развитию человеческого капитала. Национальный проект «Человеческий капитал» сфокусирован на повышении уровня и качества жизни граждан, доступности материального и социального капитала, создании возможностей для самореализации и раскрытия таланта каждого человека, развитии системы социальных лифтов. Авторы проводят анализ изменения представления о социальной справедливости в России на протяжении длительного времени. Отмечается, что в начале советского периода понятие «социальная справедливость» практически не использовалось. Термин «справедливость» появился в Большой советской энциклопедии только в 1953 г., который в настоящее время является одним из самых востребованных в государственной политике. Соединяя экономику с политикой, социальная политика определяет направления основных политических сил и течений в Российской Федерации.

The subject of research is the concept of social justice in a non-democratic state (here, Belarus) implemented in different discursive practices and changing institutional context in the period of 2006-2010. The concept of social justice is considered to be one of the conceptual foundations of the welfare regime existing in the country. The novelty of the work is determined by the underdeveloped nature of the topic in the academic research of foreign as well as Belarusian authors. The objective is to research the main (governmental one and alternative ones) narratives of social justice in Belarus. The work is divided into six chapters. The first one examines theoretical approaches to the concept of social justice and analyses the concept of post-socialist condition (Fraser). The second chapter informs of the methods applied in the work. The third one is dedicated to the issues of the socio-economic context of Belarus in the period of 2006-2010. The fourth chapter examines the specifics of the political field of Belarus, its breakup into the governmental and oppositional parts. The fifth one analyses their statements comprising the social-justice narrative used as one of conceptual foundations of the welfare regime existing in the country. The sixth chapter investigates the oppositional narrative. One of the main conclusions of the research is that the concept of social justice in Belarus was determined by the authorities and had no alternatives comparable in importance.

Modern sociology places dignity and justice at the center of social debate. In estatebased societies only the aristocrats possessed the right to dignity and honor. The article analyzes these concepts as elements of the general structure of meaning underlying the institutions of modern societies. However, the progress of society conducive to their entry into the state of modernity the right to dignity kept extending towards an ever greater number of citizens. Dignity became an element of the policy of equality that tended to override the line of distinction charted by estates or other social subjects. In the early years of equalization policy, the struggle of dignity and equality assumed the form of recognition of the so-called natural rights of man, that constituted the essence of human condition. The idea of natural rights led to a debate and later to policy measures that resulted in the modern concept of citizenship. The latter asserted the right of every human being to dignity, equality before law and freedom to engage in productive, entrepreneurial activity without interference from other actors of political or economic life. The idea of equality, embedded in citizenship, came to be expressed in the policy of inclusion that overcame social prejudice and consequently in policies that extended political recognition to ever wider social groups. In the 20th century the egalitarian policy led to a wider scope of social rights that were regarded as a necessary condition of social justice and human independence. At present the principles of dignity and justice are implemented in social policy as acquired "capabilities" — a sum of life forces and means that allow citizens to uphold their citizenship regardless of the conditions in which they find themselves. Inclusion turns into the main vector of social policy, setting out to endow citizens with equal rights and resources that are necessary for their implementation.

The article shows how to use the situation of globalization to prevent cultural values of the nation from a destructive impact successfully. In the situation of globalization when the crisis of many social identities arose we need to refresh learning of those parts of multidimensional phenomenon of identities, which have distanced from the historical roots for some reasons. The authors call attention to philosophical and historical analysis of a regulatory category of social justice as morally government-mandated order of interaction between members of society. We came to the conclusion that the ideal and the value of social justice as a part of the philosophy of law framed by Belarusian Constitution are on trend of progressive sects of the modern world's opinion, they unite past and present of Belarusian statehood. = В статье показывается, каким образом в современном мире можно успешно использовать условия глобализации для защиты национально-культурных ценностей от деструктивных влияний. В условиях глобализации, когда возник кризис многих коллективных идентичностей, необходимо актуализировать изучение тех составляющих многомерного феномена идентичности, которые по каким-то причинам дистанцированы от исторических корней и истоков. Авторы акцентируют внимание на философско-историческом анализе нормативной категории социальной справедливости как нравственно санкционированного порядка взаимодействия между членами общества на основе прав, выражающих равное достоинство каждого человека. Делается вывод, что идеал и ценность социальной справедливости на уровне философии права, заданные текстом нашей Конституции, находятся в русле тенденций, характерных для прогрессивных течений современной мировой общественной мысли, соединяя в себе прошлое и настоящее нашей государственности.
