The juxtaposition of the values of security and freedom is traditional for both political-theoretical and practical dimensions: for example, the public reaction to the disengagement between the West and Russia has shown that it is not so much about tactics as about fundamental things, in particular, different value choices. Sociological research shows that this demarcation was planned for a long time: Thus, over the past 30 years, Russian public opinion, contrary to the general model, has demonstrated a simultaneous increase in support, along with liberal, and traditional values, in particular, those associated with religion. For the EAEU, an association built on formally liberal principles, this means a number of unanswered challenges.

The article considers new trends in the value system of the Belarusian society. Based on the data of the international sociological surveys conducted as waves of the European Values Study and World Values Study, the authors identify changes in the value orientations of the Belarusian society over the past thirty years. The authors use the methodological approach to identifying the system of value orientations that was developed by R. Inglehart and K. Welzel. The study of fundamental trends in the changing value world of the contemporary society is of practical importance for understanding internal factors of the current socialpolitical processes and for assessing prospects for the further sustainable development of socialpolitical institutions. The article aims at identifying the main directions in the transformation of the value orientations of the Belarusian society since the acquisition of state sovereignty. The authors conclude that the Belarusian society moves from the values of survival to the values of development and self-expression. In the project, the authors conducted an analysis of the demographic structure of the Belarusian society in terms of value priorities and found out that the demographic base of secular-individualistic and self-expression values consists of highly educated residents of large cities of younger (under 30) and middle (up to 49) age. Given the growth of the share of population with higher education and the second wave of urbanization (the outflow from small towns to large cities), we should expect an expansion of this demographic base and, accordingly, the further spread of these value orientations. In this situation, the education system acts as a source of the ongoing changes and develops the value matrix of the coming social reality.
Young people's transitioning into adulthood is accompanied by their inclusion into society's socio-cultural context, together with the development of their own cultural models and interaction practices. Youth cultural space develops as a result of layered connections between young people and culture in general – elements of which are simultaneously inherited and altered by them – as well as subculture models, which emerge in the realm of intra-group interactions, i.e. within youth communities. During the dialectical process of inheritance, denial and construction, young people obtain their own social-group characteristics. In turn their cultural space is distinguished by features which differentiate their activities from other social groups. In modern society youth cultural space is very much a self-regulating realm, within which occurs the development and construction of the most important values which then become the foundation for purpose in life. Base culture plays an essential role in shaping purpose, with its models – contained within the collective unconscious – being directly linked to historic memory. Historic memory, reflected in archetypical and mental structures, influences the content of life purpose values. Engraining itself into habitus during the habitualization process, it becomes the basis for purpose which defines the direction for behavioral predispositions. Together with historic memory, youth life purpose values are significantly influenced by everyday knowledge and experience, which accumulate as a result of young people interacting with others participating in the development of cultural space. In order to confirm self-regulation of youth life purpose values as a holistic process, this article analyzes the connection between young people's concepts on the meaning of life and various types of culture, archetypes, mentality, habitus. This was facilitated by the fact that the article presents results of developing a cultural space typology, of highlighting – based on analyzing existing approaches towards studying the unconscious – the most common archetypes, mental and modern features of national character, habitual attitudes. Analyzing their relationship allowed for tracing the influence of each on the development of young people's purposes in life during the self-regulation process. The article substantiates the conclusion – drawn as a result of analyzing how life purposes are connected with types of culture and archetypes – that young people for the most part accept traditional culture, which defines the general direction for the development of meaning in their lives. Based on analyzing the connection between life purpose values and mental, modern features of national character, the study reveals the dialectics of "traditional" and "contemporary" in the altering of meanings in young people's lives. Analyzing the connection between life purpose values and habitus allows us to consider the modification (hybridization) of meanings in the process of developing behavioral inclinations among young people in terms of self-regulating their living activity. Therefore self-regulation of young people's life purpose values appears to be a dynamic process which fills their lives with new meanings in an evolving cultural space.
The journalism's highest humane purpose is the protection of the human rights and freedoms and the development of a democratic, civil and social society. But, considering the realities of modern journalistic activities, various political, ideological, cultural, moral, religious and other positions collide constantly. Journalists, in the process of making the right moral choice, are helped by knowledge of professional values.In the humanistic concept, the professional values of journalists represent universal, generalized ethical requirements, the guidelines for their moral choices, designed to promote the progress of a person and humanity. Journalism as a social institution in its activities is guided by the values, ethical principles, universal ideals of journalistic activities developed by the international organizations, such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, OSCE, IFJ, which ensures homeostasis, a dynamic, controlled balance for a positive impact on the development of society.
Today the most important values and challenges for Europe are socio-economic factors. At the level of political leadership and mass consciousness Germany demonstrates direction to Euro-pean leadership and responsibility. At the same time France is leaning towards national interests. Social-democratic vector of development is prevailing over neoliberal today what gives consensus for deepening of economic, social and political integration of Europe. ; Сегодня важнейшими ценностями и вызовами для Европы остаются в первую очередь факторы, носящие социально-экономический характер. Не только на уровне политического лидерства, но и массового сознания Германия демонстрирует установку на европейское лидерство и ответственность, в то время как Франция все больше ориентируется на внутренние национальные интересы. Социал-демократический вектор развития преобладает над либеральным, что дает определенный консенсус для углубления экономической, социальной и политической интеграции, к которой большинство европейцев уже готово. Интенсификация этих процессов позволит Евросоюзу выступать как единому геополитическому блоку, располагающему набором политических институтов и конкурирующему с глобальными игроками, из которых на первое место выходит Китай, опережая в европейском общественном мнении США.
The article deals with a genre variety of portrait essay - a political portrait. Proceeding from the assumption that the specificity of portrait essay in the Chinese Russian language media political discourse is determined, first of all, by the object of portrayal and the writer's intention, the authors of the article analyze the category of communicative tone (V. I. Karasik) and come to the conclusion about the axiological markedness of the given category and its ideological variation. The system of values lying at the basis of the formation of the public opinion about a Chinese politician is present-ed as a dichotomy of "value/anti-value", which allows regarding the axiological orientation of political portrait as the leading text-forming factor of this genre. The political portraits created by the Chinese language speakers are characterized by two main kinds of communicative tone - informative and ideological. The informative tone is actualized mostly in the biographical fragments of the essays. In its turn, the ideological tone appears in a whole range of positive/negative evaluations of the politician associated with it and forms an axiological dyad. ; Статья посвящена жанровой разновидности портретного очерка - политическому портрету. Рассматривается специфика портретного очерка в китайском русскоязычном медиадискурсе.
The article analyzes the values of liberal ideology in the context of modern Russia on the example of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the programs of the parties "United Russia" and "Liberal Democratic Party of Russia". ; В статье проводится разбор положения ценностей либеральной идеологии в контексте современной России на примере Конституции РФ и программ партий «Единая Россия» и «Либерально-демократическая партия России».
The problems of promotion of family values in the Russian mass media were analyzed in the article. Popularization of family values through the media should contribute to strengthening the family institution and become an effective tool in the fight against the demographic crisis. The results of the content analysis confirms that the media neglect of family problems. In this situation, promotion of family values among young people is ineffective.
This article is based on the results of a sociological study of Saratov's youth, conducted by means of mass survey. Examined are the theoretical approaches towards analyzing patriotism as a social phenomenon based on the notion of its multi-variance. The substantive content of the term "patriotism" is defined to a significant degree by those values which young people appreciate. It is shown that the diversity of value dominants creates seven models of patriotic attitudes: abstract patriotism, traditional, local (including household), liberal, democratic, critical and globalist anti-patriotism. Temporally all of these models shift in different and often times opposite directions. The older one gets – the more "abstract" and "traditional" models of patriotism diminish in terms of their importance, while local and liberal models grow, on the contrary (however, the proportion of household patriotism, which is included into the local category, does decrease). The process of maturing for young people is typically accompanied by a decreasing significance of the anti-patriotic interpretation.
Young people's patriotism usually manifests itself in everyday life, and less commonly in political and celebratory activities. The younger generation takes the utmost pride in our World War 2 victory, as well as the culture and history of their country. The fact that upbringing has the greatest effect on developing patriotism among young people is confirmed. Other influential factors include (in order of diminishing importance) public organizations, structures of government power, mass media, the education system, religion. The authors' analysis of the influence of patriotic events revealed that the greatest contributing factor to developing patriotism is when young people meet with veterans of various wars. Second place in that rating of effectiveness goes to watching feature films and reading books. All of Russian society's social institutions appear to have vast unrealized potential when it comes to cultivating patriotic sentiments and views among young people. In order to fully realize this potential, the authors suggest not only drastically changing our perspective on such an issue as patriotism, but also initiating active work in regions and in local communities, assisting patriotic associations, clubs and other organizations focused on patriotism, paying close attention to the activities of educational institutions, intensifying patriotic work with students on behalf of the armed forces, and, finally, prompting mass media to radically change their perspective on patriotism and patriotic upbringing.
To reveal variations in the iso topic composition of O and H in the atmospheric precipitation in Moscow and the processes influencing the isotope composition, all events of precipitation in 2017-2019 were sampled at the Meteorological Observatory of the Moscow State University: 158 samples in 2017, 119 samples in 2018 and 143 samples in 2019. The study is a prolongation of continuous measurements of the isotope composition of precipitation, started by authors in 2014. The study of the isotope composition of precipitation at the MSU Meteorological Observatory was supported by the IAEA and became a part of the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database. It has been found that the intra-annual variability of the isotop e composition of precipitation has a pronounced seasonality. The most isotopically heavy precipitation falls from May to August, and the most isotop ically light precipitation at December-February, mainly due to seasonal air temperature variations. The ratio of the average monthly δ18O values in precipitation and air temperature for the study period varied from 0.34 to 0.39‰/°C, which is consistent with the previously obtained data for precipitation in Moscow. The δ2H-δ18O ratio in precipitation was clos e to that of the Global Meteoric Water Line, pointing to the equilibrium conditions during precipitation formation. It was established that in the summer months isotopic composition is significantly influenced by undercloud evaporation. The deuterium excess va lues in precipitation are not markedly seasonal; however, lower dexc values (below the 3-year average of 11‰) are typical for the summer months (July-August). It is most likely due to undercloud evaporation in conditions of low relative humidity and high air temperatures. Higher dexc values (above 11‰) prevailed from October to April.
The concept of sustainability management is gaining popularity due to the fact that maintaining a balance of economic, social and environmental principles can improve efficiency of management. Implementation of sustainability management concept in practice meets with difficulties to spread these institutions in society – in the peoples' minds, business processes and politics. In order to implement sustainability management in practice, integrate sustainability strategy into the organization's culture, we need to learn more about the values and benefits that sustainability management creates, as well as abut the motives and factors that will actually work. Our study is focused on the concept of sustainability management, in particular on the motives and values of sustainability management in organizations/projects. To conduct our study we used a structured online survey with managers of organizations in Russia. Our data-frame includes answers from 76 respondents from different regions of Russia. ; Концепция управления устойчивостью набирает все большую популярность благодаря тому, что соблюдение баланса экономического, социального и экологического принципов позволяет повысить эффективность управления.

The political culture of any society is supported and determined by the spiritual and moral values adopted by this particular society over the course of its historical development. We can say that general cultural values of the metaphysical order eventually transformed into socio-political values that formed the modern heterogeneous political space. The transmission of values, including political ones, takes place by means of exploiting different mechanisms by society and using different tools. Nevertheless, one of the most effective mechanisms at this time is education, which is more and more often considered by developed countries as a means of achieving their economic and political dominance in the international arena. In this aspect, education serves as a tool of "soft power" policy. It is through the expansion and spread of their education model that many countries promote their political values in economically and geopolitically important regions.
