In South Africa, the Russian Revolution was admired by socialists and nationalists alike. The National Party soon stopped praising the Bolsheviks, but the effect of the Revolution on the nascent Communist Party was important and lasting. South African communists closely watched developments in Soviet Russia and established relations with the Communist International (Comintern) even before the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) was born. The Party's ideology and policy were shaped by the Comintern's ideas and instructions. In the 1920s and 1930s the struggle around the Comintern-imposed slogan of the independent native republic and the Comintern's campaigns for 'bolshevization' nearly brought the party to its demise. But it survived, and its leadership took the Comintern's ideals and ideas into the postwar era. The Comintern's theoretical legacy, particularly its idea of a two-stage (national and socialist) revolution proved long-lasting. This idea became entrenched in the programs of the African National Congress, the party of national liberation and since 1994, the party of government. Even today a significant proportion of South Africa's black population cherishes the vision of a radical revolution and demands its implementation.
The problem covered in the article is important for ensuring the effectiveness of the process of development of social intelligence in students mastering the profession of a teacher at the University. The article analyzes the concepts of "social intelligence", "self-development", "the need for self-development" and substantiates the pedagogical conditions that ensure the effectiveness of the process of development of social intelligence in high school. The following methods were used: the test of social intelligence j. Gilford and M. Sullivan (Russian adaptation of the test by E. S. Mikhailova), the method of paired comparisons by V. V. Skvortsov. The actual needs of future teachers with different levels of development of social intelligence are revealed. The study allows us to conclude that the effectiveness of the development of social intelligence in the future teacher at the University is achieved through the implementation of pedagogical technology, pedagogical support, means of classroom and extracurricular activities.
The article analyzes the international and historical experience of the formation of regulatory legal frameworks providing for criminal liability for crimes in the field of procurement for public needs in Russia and in foreign countries.
