The author emphasises the relevance of the research in question as regards the issues considered in the collection.

The article considers religious tolerance as the basis for ensuring internal stability and integration of the society, keeping them from upheavals, suppressing the split of nations and states. According to Article 31 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, "Freedom of conscience is guaranteed for all. Everyone has the right to profess any religion or not to profess anyone. Forced imposition of religious beliefs is unacceptable". As noted in Article 61 of the Constitution, "religious organizations and associations are separated from the state and are equal before the law. The state does not interfere in the activities of religious associations". The article considers that religion embraces various interaction processes: communication, socialization, transference of religious experience, development of ties between individual believers, between believers and the religious community, the clergy, between religious organizations of different religions. The article discusses freedom of conscience – the guaranteed constitutional right of citizens to profess any religion or not to profess anyone. As noted in Article 3 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations", any compulsion is not allowed when a citizen determines his attitude to religion, to profess or not to profess religion, to participate or not to participate in religious services, religious rites and ceremonies, in receiving religious education. The involvement of minors in religious organizations, as well as the training of their religion against their will, the will of their parents or persons replacing them, is not allowed. The exercise of freedom to practice religion or other convictions is subject only to those restrictions that are necessary to ensure national security and public order, life, health, morality, rights and freedoms of other citizens. Foreign citizens and stateless persons enjoy the right to freedom of conscience and freedom of religion on an equal basis with citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan and bear the responsibility established by law for violation of legislation on freedom of conscience and religious organizations.

Russian Abstract: Религия испокон веков была и остается фактором, объединяющим или раскалывающим общества. Религиозная нетерпимость даже в современных обществах становилась причиной братоубийственных войн и бедствий. Неприятие и нетерпимость к религиозным чувствам и ценностям иноверцев приводили к кровопролитным войнам, расколу государств и наций. В то же время религиозная нетерпимость внутри обществ является серьезным ресурсом в руках враждующих государств с точки зрения внесения раскола в эти страны и общества. Исходя из этих соображений, осуществлялись и продолжают осуществляться всевозможные миссионерские миссии, преследующие, помимо религиозных (пропаганда и распространение собственной религии и ценностей), замаскированные политические цели. English Abstract: From time immemorial religion has been a factor which united or split the society. Even in the modern society religious intolerance has caused fratricidal wars and disasters. At the same time religious intolerance (inside the society) is a serious resource in the hands of the states at variance in the aspect of splitting these countries and societies. From these considerations various missionary activities, which besides religious goals (propaganda and dissemination of their own religion and values), also pursue political aims, have been implemented. ; Report at the international conference "Non-Conflict Reading of Joint History - the Basis of Good Neighborliness", Moscow, 22.10.2010.

The political situation in the Soviet Union during the twentieth century has led some to suggest that socialism is some kind of secular religion as opposed to 'normal' religion. In modern Europe, however, there have been vibrant Christian socialist movements. This article looks into the different attitudes of socialists towards religion and answers the question whether it is pressure of religious activity or pressure of religious identity that makes socialists resist religion. The results from a multilevel analysis of three waves of the European Values Study (1990-2008) in 21 Western European countries specifically point to an increase in anti-religiosity by socialists in countries marked by Catholic and Orthodox religious identities.

The author examines the process of institutionalization of religion, its social role in society and its impact on politics, political processes and political culture as well as mechanisms of political influence on religion.

This paper elaborates on basic features of religion and religiousness in the modern culture of Serbia. Revival of traditional religious culture depends on social and political changes which resulted in sacralization of the public life and politics, greater influence of national religions in the public life of Serbia and the republics of former Yugoslavia. Revival of the official Orthodoxy is a process which flows parallel to the revival of people's Orthodoxy and people's piety, the supremacy of one over the other depends on several factors, social and political circumstances, as well as cultural preferences. Reception and interpretation of messages of the Orthodox Church mirror in the convergence of devoted believers and ecclesiastical Orthodoxy, while the majority of declarative believers adopt, understand and interprete in their own manner the Orthodox teaching, ecclesiastical rules of ritual behaviour, Orthodox moral norms and significance of religion in everyday life.

The article is aimed at studying the conflict between liberal and religious values in the Dagestani media discourse. The socio-political prerequisites for the emergence of the conflicting discursive practice are identified; concepts and strategies of cultural polemics, linguistic methods of constructing religious or political value systems, methods of constructing opportunistic images and ethically marked simulacra are analyzed. The empirical base of the study is over 100 publication from federal and regional media. The selection was determined by the keywords and thematic relevance. The content analysis showed that factual information, characters and cited comments were often repeated. Further, the content of ten publications from federal and ten from regional media was studied. The publications selected for the analysis use a wide variety of methods to construct conflict-generating situations, have a significant number of quoted comments and the maximum depth of the characters' discursive confrontation. The publications were analyzed according to the critical discourse analysis model. As a result of the study, the directions and consequences of the development of a conflict-generating media discourse were determined. In the publications of the federal media, the discursive conflict forms a stable sphere of concepts, generates relevant emotions and types of communication. Supporters of conservative norms refer to the totalitarian ethical discourse, in which the propaganda orientation, manipulative communication strategies, the suggestive format of communicative interaction play the role of discourse markers. Journalistic comments present an objective analysis of the situation, often with the use of irony. Irony-caused transformations of concepts lead to increased verbal aggression, enhance the discursive conflict and equalize opponents in their attempt to promote their point of view. The hypertext shell of the publications exacerbates the conflict by context inclusion. As a result, a simulacrum of a national ...

People coming from Little Poland had settled in Vershina – a village located 130 km Northwards from Irkutsk, in the beginning of the 20th century. During one-hundred-year history of Vershina, the role of Polish dialect and Russian language was changing, according to the political, economical, language and cultural situation of the community. The author is considering the relationships between both codes in the domain of religion. There are different factors influencing the language and cultural situation of the group of our interest. According to the observations and results of the researches made so far, the use of two languages in the domain of religion may be considered as a kind of cultural hybrid. It is difficult to predict the future of both religious languages in Vershina, but the present state shall survive for at least several years.
