The development of Russia at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries led to the necessity of building a regular army and naval forces, capable of defending the national interests. At the same time the military health care was also developing, including its most important part, such as medicines supply to troops (forces). The publication of domestic military pharmacopoeias significantly contributed to the solution of the mentioned national task. The first edition of the military pharmacopoeia was dated 1765. Military pharmacopoeias were primarily published in Latin and then in Russian (1866). They included not only military science advanced achievements, but also civilian medical science and practices and contributed to ensuring the proper quality of medical aid to Russian soldiers. ; Развитие России на рубеже XVII-XVIII веков привело к необходимости формирования регулярной армии и военного флота, способных отстаивать государственные интересы. Вместе с этим развивалось и военное здравоохранение, в том числе и такая его важнейшая компонента, как лекарственное обеспечение войск (сил). Решению этой государственной задачи в немалой степени способствовало издание отечественных военных фармакопей, первый выпуск которых датирован 1765 г. Издаваемые вначале на латыни, а затем на русском языке (1866 г.) они включали в себя наиболее значимые достижения не только военной, но и гражданской медицинской науки и практики и способствовали обеспечению должного качества медицинской помощи российским воинам.

Two main issues are considered in this article. The first is the changing historical and legal status of private military companies (PMCs). Emerging after the end of World War II, the PMC phenomenon became well-established by the mid-1990s. In the first decade of the 21st century, PMCs not only engaged in military activity in different regions of the world but also participated as independent economic actors capable of occupying a certain niche in the military segment of the world economy. Following this review, the article examines the practical activities of PMCs drawing on the example of the conflict in Ukraine during the civil war that began there after the coup d'etat of February 2014 and which saw the removal of the legally elected president V. Yanukovych and the rise of nationalist radicals to power. It should be noted that the Ukrainian crisis is only one of many examples of the use of PMCs. Moreover, as demonstrated in this study, the most powerful PMCs in the world are represented in the territory of Ukraine, pointing to the extreme importance of the processes occurring in Ukraine from the view point of the interests of the dominant actors in the modern international system involved in Ukrainian affairs.
At the present stage of development of the Russian Armed Forces, the service of military chaplains plays an important role in the issues of psychological support of personnel. In author's opinion, military chaplains have a wide range of opportunities for solving problems on the spiritual revival of the Russian army and increasing the morale of military. The article reflects the data of an empirical study conducted in several stages with different groups of clergyman. Relying on the methodological and theoretical ideas about the relations between the subject of activity and his abilities, stated by S. L. Rubinstein's, in particular the statement that specific activity requires specific qualities from the individual, as well as V. D. Shadrikov's assertion that success activity is determined by the systemically interacting system of abilities, the author pursues the goal: to reveal the competencies (professional and personal) abilities of chaplains of the military unit and to justify the need for them to receive a psychologist knowledge. Conducted with the help of the questionnaire and the "Ideal" method developed by E. I. Kuzmina and Z. V. Kuzmina, the study allowed to draw important conclusions for practice: putting high professional requirements to oneself, the chaplains of the military unit have a powerful spiritual and moral potential in solving tasks for the spiritual support of military. However, studies have shown that assistants to commanders for working with religious military lack psychological knowledge in their professional activities. Obviously, a higher level of development of the competencies of the military chaplains can be achieved due to the strengthening of the psychological component in the system of training assistants to commanders of units to work with religious military. As a result, we will receive highly qualified specialists who, at the level of joint professional activity with commanders, assistants to commanders for work with military and psychologists of military units, will raise the ...

Military institutions are traditionally focused on the implementation of the classical, narrow form of educational development of professional knowledge and skills of cadets. In modern conditions, a transition is taking place to a broad system of professional development that determines the formation of a wide range of professional potential of future officers, the development of not only narrow professional knowledge and skills, but also potential abilities for active creativity, motivation for systematic collection, processing and use of new informational data. To study the factors of inhibition of the educational process in the modern military institute, the results of the sociological research "Social and Labor Development in the Assessments of Cadets of the Saratov Military Institute" are analyzed. This analysis shows that military vocational training is characterized by informational isolation, rigid administrative organizational educational culture. The latter leads to a discrepancy between the formally stated and necessary, as well as the actually emerging creative potential of cadets (graduates) of Russia's military institutions. The military institute lacks free access to Internet resources, a significant part of the information flow of the external social environment. Administrative technologies of interaction between the teacher and the students prevail, there are no favorable conditions for creative self-realization, complex development of creative projects, self-development of the intellectual potential of cadets, the practice of including cadets in the system of tactical management and self-management, organizing their own leisure time is limited. In this regard, changes are necessary in two directions: 1) providing organizational and informational conditions and opportunities for the creative implementation of students, as well as stimulating creative educational, scientific, and self-governing leisure activities of cadets; 2) the formation of organizational structures that purposefully support ...

This article provides an assessment of the development of the military potential of China and the United States from the perspective of the growing confrontation between the parties. Special attention is paid to the development of innovations and to technological diplomacy. Due to the high level of innovations integration in the military and civil spheres, a military-technical competition initiates a full-scale confrontation in the economic and industrial spheres. The growing potential of China poses a challenge for the USA to constrain China's technological development, including by limiting its possibilities for scientific and technological cooperation with other countries. ; Статья рассматривает вое ческие и технологические аспекты развертывающегося глобального противостояния КНР и США. Военно-экономические факторы играли ключевую роль в советско-американском противостоянии времен холодной войны и сохраняют существенную, хотя и меньшую роль в нынешнем американо-китайском противостоянии. С точки зрения производственных возможностей США оказались в непривычном для себя положении догоняющей стороны в связи с утратой ряда базовых гражданских отраслей экономики в 1980-90-е годы. В среднесрочной перспективе можно ожидать и отставания США от КНР и по объемам финансирования военного производства и НИОКР с учетом паритета покупательной способности. В сложившихся условиях США вынуждены делать акцент на своих главных преимуществах: технологиях и сети международных союзов. Таким образом, логическим следствием нынешней расстановки сил в военно-экономической сфере становится выход на первый план в международной политике технологической дипломатии – попыток изолировать и подорвать высокотехнологичные отрасли промышленности противника, одновременно укрепляя свою сеть технологических альянсов. Важнейшим полем борьбы двух держав становится Европа, при этом растущее значение для КНР в этом контексте может приобрести научное и промышленное взаимодействие с Россией.
