The author examines the inter-connections of subjects and motives in ten poems which Solovyov wrote in the second half of the 1890s. The method of motive analysis shows that those works bear the mark of a verse unity making an uncompleted cycle. It appears that Solovyov's poems during that period can be related not only to his aesthetic and philosophical works but also to the lyrical pieces of earlier poets. Thus, it is shown that ten poems belong to the tradition of A.A. Fet, K.K. Sluchevsky, A.N. Maykov, V.A. Zhukovsky and Ya.P. Polonsky. It is suggested to call this uncompleted cycle "Poetry as theurgy". A brief review is proposed of the aesthetic and philosophical ideas which are important to understand the general theme canvass of the cycle. The common theme and cross-cutting motives of twelve poems forming that cycle are defined. It is suggested to consider that the lyrical mystery theme is common to all the poems of that cycle. It is shown that the prophetic motive and images/symbols of nature and of the poet as prophet can be traced throughout the whole of the cycle. The conclusion is that Solovyov has created a series of poems which, through their themes and motives, prolong and complete each other, thus offering an uncompleted cycle of poetry as theurgy. From the point of view of its structure and content, that cycle is typical of the literary epoch when it was composed, being a continuation of the classical tradition while at the same time creating a new tradition, that of the symbolists.

The article examines the influence of V.S. Solovyov on the writers and poets of the Silver age. On the material of the works of Solovyov, related to the «сhinese theme»: the articles «Russia and Europe», «China and Europe», «Japan», «The enemy from the East»; the review of the first volume of works by E.E. Ukhtomsky; the poems «Panmongolizm» and «Dragon»;the tractate «The three conversations about war, progress and the end of world history»; the letter «About the recent events», – is evaluated his influence on D.S. Merezhkovsky's articles: «Yellow-faced positivists», «The coming ham», V.I. Ivanov's articles «Russia, England and Asia», «Inspiration of horror», V.M. Doroshevich's story «Goddess», V.V. Veresaev's story «Under the cedars»; «Chinese poems» and the articles of V.J. Bryusov. The political context of the works, the tradition of depicting China in Russian literature, literary and sinological works on this topic are taken into account. The comparative analysis of texts, the coincidence of a number of theoretical positions, and separate definitions and epithets are revealed. The numbers of Solovyov's positions are revealed, which are reflected in the works of Merezhkovsky and Ivanov: materialism and positivism of the Chinese, the «emptiness» of their philosophy, the denial of life and progress, the «yellow danger», the need for the Christianization of China (the last position in Merezhkovsky is not). Doroshevich's story, written at the height of the ikhetuan rebellion («boxer rebellion»), was influenced by the philosopher's eschatological prophecies. The negative image of China in the poetry of V.J. Bryusov is the textual confirmation of the influence of Solovyov, noted by modern literary criticism.

In the study is to analyze the current systemic problems of world finance, including the dominant changes in the architecture of world finance, the expansion of the role of central banks and states in general in the regulation of the global financial market. Structural and historical analysis methods are used in the course of the study. The paradigm of the transition from the financialization of the world economy to its definancialization is determined, in connection with which the necessity of state regulation of national financial markets and cross-border movements of capital between developed and developing countries is justified. The factors and the historical evolution of the financialization of the economy have been investigated, the main consequences of financialization for the national financial markets and the global economy are identified. The destructive impact of the level of financial depth of the economy on the world economy as a whole has been proved. The need to develop national and supranational measures to regulate financial markets is justified, with the allocation of structural, institutional and monetary and financial conditions for their implementation in practice, including optimization of adoption mechanisms strategic decisions and planning, methods and tools aimed at expanding state supervision and regulation of financial markets and generally definancing the global economy and developing its real sector.

In historical investigation there tends to be tension between the general and the particular. It is sometimes convenient and appropriate, to present information in terms of national units when describing and analysing major change; yet much of critical importance to appreciating the nature of the change taking place is concealed if the discussion focuses exclusively on the whole country. This reflection illustrates the enlightenment gained by considering regional and local variation using the example of internal migration, and particularly the movement from the countryside into towns and cities.
