The object of this master thesis is Russia's public policy in the sphere of domestic violence in the period 2017-2020. The goal of the thesis is to identify the characteristic features of Russia's public policy in the sphere of domestic violence in the period 2017-2020. The main tasks of the thesis: to conceptualize the basic political and social definitions in the framework of international use in the applied plane of the policy of the Russian Federation (public policy, non-democratic political culture, domestic violence, feminicide, gender discrimination); to identify the main actors lobbying and opposing the adoption of the draft law "On the prevention of domestic violence" and conduct its social and legal analysis; to identify the main legal documents protecting victims of domestic violence at the international level in comparison with existing documents ratified on the territory of the Russian Federation; to analyze Russian cases of victims of domestic violence to identify the formation of social patterns that influence the perception of this problem in the state and public field (the case of the Khachaturian sisters, Valeria Volodina, Shema Timagova); by using a gender prism, to carry out a discourse analysis of online documents in conjunction with an analysis of narrative in order to identify the characteristic features of the Russian public policy in the sphere of domestic violence. Empirical research is carried out in the tradition of qualitative methodology, using such methods as narrative analysis and discourse analysis. Chapter 2 of this thesis uses the method of document analysis using the example of the Draft Law "On the Prevention of Domestic Violence in the Russian Federation", and the master's work itself, which is an interdisciplinary study, is carried out through the prism of gender analysis. The specificity of public policy in the sphere of domestic violence in the Russian Federation lies in the authoritarianism of political culture with conservative patriarchal views on the institution of the family. It was revealed that due to the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church on the government in decision-making policy, the state cannot be secular. They indicated that the opponents of the draft law are expressing the concept of radical conservatism together with the ideas of national authenticity, deep intolerance towards supporters of feminism and gender ideology, refusal to ratify basic international documents, excluding the possibility of Russian society developing towards liberal trends. The liberal movement and lobbying of interests against feminicide are led by more female democratic actors

First hypothesis is falsified – in accordance with other similar works (f.e., Gupta, 2008), no relation between democracy level and degree/occurrence of collective violence is found. However, empirical analysis strongly supports the second hypothesis: there is a statistically significant relationship between the regime capacity (measured as polity fragmentation index) and degree of collective violence. The probability that regime will experience higher levels of collective violence (if it occurs) is raised greatly when the regime capacity is lower. As it is expected from these findings, third hypothesis is only partially supported: higher levels of collective violence are indeed observed in the low capacity-undemocratic regimes, but the most successful in terms of containment of collective violence are high-capacity undemocratic regimes (not high capacity-democratic, as formulated in the hypothesis).

The paper focuses on the analysis of non-formal adult education in an organization. It discusses the legal and political documents that regulate adult learning. The role of the organizational and individual perspectives in adult education has been theoretically substantiated. In recent decades, the rapid development of innovations within the market forces organizations to react to the changes. Human capital has become vitally important as it transforms and controls other forms of organizational capital (i.e. material, financial, time, etc.). In order to successfully conduct their activities the organizations cannot resist either the improvement of the work of the employees or learning as such. Therefore, due to the development of knowledge society and active processes of globalization, adult people experience an urgent need to improve their professional qualification, expand the horizons of their knowledge and acquire new specialities to optimally match the changing conditions of life. For all that, could we consider the persons working in an organization being the progressive workers? Who is more motivated in such learning – an organization, or its employee? On the other hand, is learning always efficient? Such questions encouraged the author to extend the analysis given in the paper.

In this master thesis was analysed leadership theories application at non government organisations. In the theory part the notion of leadership, leadership and guiding was more widely analysed. There were five main theories based by relationships reviewed and used as a tool for the research part by analyzing results. Also the importance of relationships in leadership process was reviewed and non government organisations functions and leadership specificity in non government organisations sector was analysed. In the methodology part there were set goals, created models for research and the use of them in the research was backed. In the last part the results of the research were analysed in Vilnius archdiocese Caritas. The survey of workers and their executives was analysed to find out how expressed leadership theories are in non government organisations.
