Ethnocultural conflicts in the world today are rooted in the increasingly incendiary globalization in the course of which certain regions cannot cope with migrant flows (EU member countries are a pertinent example) while others (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the People's Republic of China, Tatarstan, Chechnia, Bashkortostan, the Stavropol Territory, Tyumen Region, Adygea, and Ingushetia in the Russian Federation) are living in the complicated context of ethnic patchwork. Societies are moving towards blending different ethnocultural elements, causing havoc in human minds, unexpected ethnocultural situations and social and ethnic deviations which, as could be expected, consolidates the positions of the Islamic State. [1] It is difficult to study different aspects of the problem in depth in the age of the contemporary digital information society and various brainwashing strategies used by ISIS agents: they present ISIS as the best place for the development of genuine human qualities, which has already brought together members of several ethnic communities. The transnational extremist groups, Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami among them, have spread their influence to Central Asia and are gradually moving into Russian territory. Strongholds of extremism are not limited to the Northern Caucasus; they are present in the historically peaceful Volga area where Islamists have their own mosques and training courses and work hard to lure as many young people as possible to their side. Post-Soviet Islamism is a mixture of classic universalist Islamism and xenophobic fundamentalism. In Soviet times local Muslims treated the so-called Muslim world as something abstract, while Afghan mujahideen caused a lot of irritation in the Soviet Central Asian countries: Uzbeks or Tajiks, for instance, found it hard to associate the mujahideen persistent opposition with the defense of Islam. Today, the situation in the Muslim world is different. Former Soviet republics accept the universalist model of Islam as an endogenous phenomenon rooted in economic, political and ideological prerequisites. Fundamentalism/Wahhabism is seen as an exogenous phenomenon that forced some adherents of classic Islam out and drew the rest into its ranks. Political religions are never neutral. The difference between "us" and "others" is ontological. "Others" are a product of evil (ideologists of political religions do not hesitate to state that their enemies are "soulless"), therefore destruction is the only method to be employed against them. This paradoxical combination of cruelty and flexibility is typical of the post-modernist phenomena.

The modernization changes happening in Russia since the beginning of the 90th of the XX century designated deep division of society and power. The wave of public performances, which is lasting since December 2011 and decreased, but completely did not disappear now in Russia, found a certain extent of misunderstanding and mutual distrust. The special role in the course of formation consolidating society spiritually – moral and socially - political bases is allocated for conservatism as conservative function of the state consists in association of the people in social space, and involvement of social thought of apologists of the Russian conservatism allows to carry out this association. Traditional Russian conservatism is considered as essential part mysterious "the Russian soul" that defines life of the Russian person both in the native environment (Anisimov & Gulyaihin, 2013; Karabulatova, Koyche & Gultyaev, 2013; Karabulatova & Polivara, 2013; Karabulatova, Sayfulina & Akhmetova, 2013 & Karabulatova & Akhmetova 2015). The phenomenon of "mysterious Russian soul" is known as a hackneyed stamp, a stereotype around the world, causing firm interest from residents of the countries and the West and East. Authors believe, that existing "scissors" in perception of mentality of the Russian people are the starting mechanism for the distorted portrait of Russians, but also influence a choice of the preferred strategy and tactics in communication with Russians therefore both parties sustain losses of the material and moral plan. The authors provided analysis of existing concepts and concluded to megalocephaly and poly aspartate Russian conservatism as such. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n6s3p113

The article analyzes the impact of nominations in the media discourse on the coronavirus on the public consciousness of Europe and Asia. The authors consider the historical, sociological, and psycholinguistic aspects of the use of names in texts about the coronavirus, identify the features of the impact of such texts on the reader and determine the target orientation of such texts. Hypothesis: names in news reports about coronavirus in modern news discourse in conditions of quarantine and self-isolation act as triggers that unite different strata of society, creating a hologram of a single mental space, actualizing archetypal images of the confrontation between Good and Evil. Particular attention is paid to the connection between ethno-confessional myths and ideas about the coronavirus in the public consciousness, their involvement in information wars. The methodology for the analysis of names is standard; it includes sociolinguistic, structural, and semantic analysis, evaluative, motivational, target analysis, etc. The study helps to understand linguistic universals in the transmission of psycho-emotional moods in a stressful situation in a pandemic. The article will be of interest to specialists in the field of linguistics, sociology, political science, psychology

The authors consider the processes of settlement of Bukharian Jews in the Tobolsk province and their role in the formation of the Tobolsk Bukharians of the south of Western Siberia. The material is of particular interest for understanding the history and analytical interpretation of the processes of resettlement and adaptation in a non-ethnic and confessional environment. The role of Bukharian Jews in the formation of a subethnic group - the Tobolsk Bukharians, who stand apart among the Siberian Tatars, is noted. The authors believe that the confessional identity of Bukhara Jews was transformed under the influence of local Siberian Tatars and Kazakhs, strengthening the Muslim component as a marker of belonging to the Turkic world.

The authors for the first time introduce into scientific circulation the materials of newspapers of the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia of the period of the First World War in Russian and Armenian. The authors pose the problems of the ethnopsycholinguistic spectrum in the study of forced military migration, which gives an understanding of the inner experience of a military migrant, a refugee in chronotope. The authors focus on the verbal markers of the personality profile of a forced military migrant, which was reflected in the press ofthat time.

Nowadays those who study the migration of population and implement migration policy, are actively searching ways allowing to make adaptation of migrants, including migrant workers, the most comfortable and finally successful. Among the factors influencing upon the process of social and psychological adaptation religion is of the special importance. However, the possibilities of religion in the process of a personality and group adaptation to the changing life conditions have not been investigated enough and therefore have been seldom taken into account in practice. This fact confirms the necessity of comprehensive study of this phenomenon both from theoretical and practical point of view. The disintegration of the USSR, the economic and political instability in the republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus promoted the inflow of migrants to Russia including to the Republic of Bashkortostan since the beginning of the 1990s. In the same time the inflow of migrant workers sharply increased. For example, the number of foreign citizens from 2006 to 2008 grew more than by 3 times: from 11994 to 36236 people. Actually, according to the experts, the number of migrant workers is several times more due to illegal migration. The number of temporarily registered foreign citizens who came with the purpose "labor activity" in the Republic of Bashkortostan for 01.09.2011 made up 25731 people. The article presents the results of the sociological survey of migrant workers and considers the influence of religion on process of social adaptation of the migrant workers who arrived to the Republic of Bashkortostan in the 2000s. The survey was conducted in July, 2011. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n3s4p213

This study is an attempt to analyse economic discourse metaphors and stable expressions. Significant attention is paid to metaphor creative potential in the field of terms formation as well as representation of certain aspects of economic reality events. Some rhetoric models are especially studied from the point of view of their rhetoric impact on the potential audience. The market of goods and services began to develop rapidly in the modern consumer society, and as a result, the corpus of language tools began to expand to attract the attention of potential recipients of goods and services. Economics and linguistics are two spheres of science that are united by humans – acting and thinking/ speaking. Modern consumer society requires members of society equipped with economic knowledge that facilitate the process of acquiring something. Today, advertising with economic terminology is becoming more diverse, and it can be targeted at professionals and the broadest segments of the population. Recently, not only linguistic but also paralinguistic levels of advertising discourse realisation have become more and more relevant. The authors consider the phenomenon of linguistic metaphors in economic advertising discourse. The complexity of understanding the material is due to the use of linguistic and cultural stereotypes of the local type. The authors propose to pay attention to the fact of using metaphors of a language culture to attract potential consumers of economic services and create an image of an attractive product of economic discourse in one of the primary mechanisms for managing economic interests in the consumer society. Hence, there is a need to study economic terminology and its functioning in modern economic discourse. This study considers the metaphors of economic discourse as a manifestation of his interdiscursive nature. We analyse the compatibility of economic metaphors with national and cultural symbols and possibilities to influence the audience.
