The article highlights the trend of reinstitutionalisation of propaganda and counter propaganda after a brief historical era of international hiatus in the 1990s when the propaganda-related institutions were dismantled in many countries worldwide. The latter trend is exemplified by a number of processes, including the phenomenon of the Russian propaganda that has evolved after Putin took office, and the emergence of the strategic communications offices in Europe starting from 2015. The revival of propaganda 2.0 is a result of the hybrid wars that have engulfed leading countries worldwide. Propaganda is a systematic effort to manipulate other people's beliefs and spread chaos. Although the current propaganda aims resemble the ones used during the Cold War, the new tech abilities have enhanced its tactics. While the Internet, digitalization and social media platforms offer new opportunities for secret services and relevant experts, the phenomenon of "open consсiousness" allows an average consumer to be unwillingly affected by the messages that contain propaganda. It is argued that counter-propaganda tools should factor in media literacy efforts and building resilience among the general population to withstand disinformation messages. A number of organizations focused at countering propaganda has been created as a means of an institutional solution. Following a watershed moment in Ukraine two relevant organizations were established in 2021: Centre for Countering Disinformation (as part of the National Security and Defense Council) and Centre of Strategic Communications and Information Security (as part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Politics). These organizations aim at carrying out relevant work in line with their EU counterparts.

In the interwar period of the twentieth century, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Canada tried to expand its influence on the public life in the diaspora. To accomplish this task, it enlisted the support of the conservative Canadian Sitch association (reorganized into the United hetman organization in 1934). In its turn, it helped the Sitch in every possible way and provided the permission for the legal functioning of their organization from the Canadian authorities. The monarchists published the articles about their activities and tasks of the society in the pages of Greek Catholic newspapers, such as "Canadian Ukrainian", "Ukrainian News". However, in the 30s of the twentieth century Greek Catholics and monarchists have broken off their relations. Coming of the new bishop, Vasyl Ladyka, instead of Nikita Budka, who began to distance himself from the society in the 1930s, resulted in the creation of the Greek Catholic own organization, the Ukrainian Catholic brotherhood, in 1932. Now UCB had to defend their views before the public. In the religious sphere, the society spread the Catholic faith in the Ukrainian rite, together with priests created parishes, built churches, supported church institutions, organizations, and so on. In the cultural sphere, it founded and financed Ukrainian schools, evening courses and lectures on Ukrainian studies, held concerts, sports competitions, drama performances, built people`s homes, and so on. In the public field it organized orphanages, shelters, hospitals, summer camps for young people, youth centers and so on. Not so actively, but still the fraternity reacted on the political events in Ukraine and joined the general actions of the national patriotic bloc of the Ukrainian public associations in Canada in support of compatriots. As a result, Greek Catholics became more actively involved in the social and political life of the diaspora on equally with Orthodox and communists.

The language of folklore is peculiar. It has distinctive features at each linguistic and structural level. The grammar of works of oral folklore also has its specifics. The vocabulary of the folklore language should have an expressive linguistic direction. The vocabulary, or the register part of the linguistic dictionary, must contain grammatical information about the word. It is almost impossible to provide all the grammatical information about a lexeme entered into the dictionary register. Compilers of lexicographical works always have to limit themselves to a certain minimum necessary and sufficient to fulfil their purpose. In this paper, we will offer such a grammatical minimum, which, in our opinion, will be adequate for a qualified lexicographical description of the grammar of those verbal facts that are available in the language of folklore.The language of folklore is primarily oral speech, characterized by variability, not only at the level of texts but also at the grammar level. Traditionally, nouns are inflected with the genitive case. In this case, the main variants of inflexions must be reflected in the Dictionary of Oral Folklore. For head nouns, it is necessary to give a remark indicating the gender. It is also essential to record specific data on the number category to mark plural nouns. Adjectives, ordinal numerals, and adjectival pronouns are recorded in the original form (masculine singular nominative case). Unstressed and short forms are pretty typical for folklore texts. This expressive grammatical feature of the parts mentioned above of speech also needs, in our opinion, to be reflected in the dictionary entry. Traditionally, in Ukrainian lexicographical works, pronouns, adverbs, interjections, and service parts of speech are indicated. Dictionary entries, which include verbs, usually given in the infinitive, will traditionally be accompanied by personal forms (first and second-person singular or other endings if necessary). Be sure to indicate the type of verbs, the category of transitivity and, if necessary, intransitivity, especially in cases where the verb can appear in folklore texts in both grammatical forms. We believe indefinite forms in -ти and -ть should be given in one dictionary entry. Verb variants with the suffixes -ова and -ува should also be given in the same entry, but the form in -ова should be given separately without interpretation and cross-referenced to the main form with the suffix -ува. Grammatical information may also include those parameters that appear irregularly and are, therefore, unpredictable in a certain general model of lexicographic description.

The article covers the history of the notarial districts formation in Ukraine. The subject matter of the study is the retrospective of notarial districts formation in Ukraine as well as the development of the grounded proposals for respective legislation improvement. The methodological basis of the study were general scientific (analysis, comparison and modelling) and special (formal and logical) methods of cognition. The notary territorial competence influence on the formation of notarial districts is considered. The author has proved that the notary territorial competence in the context of national legislation is understood as the basis for the notary districts formation. The research suggests the analysis of 4 stages of notary formation and development in Ukraine: early years of independence, establishment of the maximum number of notaries, the years of uncertainty and the current stage, characterized by changes due to administrative-territorial and digital reforms. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that during the early years of independence the legislation, considering the notary territorial competence, was poor, while state intervention into the process of notarial districts allocation was really high. The regulation of the maximum number of notaries and notarial quotas as the legal problem that does not meet today's challenges is revealed. Legislative drafts aiming at regulating the number of notaries and restricting such state intervention in notarial activity have been analysed. The present regulation of the notary territorial competence, as well as legislative updates, considering the administrative-territorial reforms in Ukraine, are studied. The attention is also paid to the administrative-territorial structure as a basis for the allocation of the notary territorial competence. The main concepts of forming the list of notarial districts by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine are outlined; moreover, their pros and cons are highlighted. The governmental plans to digitalize the state services in terms of launching electronic notaries for remote notarial acts are mentioned. The offer to improve the principles of notary districts system in order to increase the availability of notarial acts to the population is given (driven by the examples of regional notary districts in Kyiv and Sevastopol aiming at providing remote notarial acts). Taking into account the Constitutional provisions, the need to consolidate the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine authorities is justified in context of approving the list of notarial districts in the Law of Ukraine "On Notaries". Keywords: territorial competence of a notary, maximum number of notaries, administrative-territorial structure, administrative-territorial unit, quotas of notaries, availability of notarial acts

The article examines the role and functional importance of the lawyer's involvement in the notarial process, discusses the peculiarities of the lawyer's procedural activity in committing certain groups of notarial proceedings.

Based on the analysis of judicial and notarial practice, the authors consider the issues of registration of the powers of the lawyer who provides representation in the notarial process. The article concludes that it is necessary to eliminate ambiguous understanding of documentary confirmation of the representative's powers. The specifics of participation in the notarial process and the peculiarities of legal regulation for such participation are determined by the nature of procedural formalities in the sphere of the notarial process. The necessity of determining the lawyer's powers in the notarial process on the basis of a power of attorney issubstantiated.

The specifics of the lawyer's activity in the notarial process are proposed to be determined on the basis of two significant aspects: the legal status of the person represented by the lawyer and the nature, complexity, subjectivity of the notarial proceedings.

Since the notarial procedure involves the search for the most favorable, acceptable to the parties options for solving their legal situation, the use of various instruments of legal technique, the negative effects of the lawyer's participation in the dynamics of notarial proceedings areanalyzed.

Particular attention is paid to the functional component of the lawyer's participation in the notarial proceedings in terms of the stage of the notarial process. Based on the analysis of the case law and the practice of notary decrees on the refusal to perform a notarial act, it is concluded that most of the refusals were made on the grounds that could be eliminated or corrected by the applicant. The paper also stipulates the expediency of the lawyer's involvement in the notarial process for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of such a process. The efficiency of the lawyer's participation in the stage of preparation for the execution of the notary proceedings is determined in order to ensure the legal analysis of the documents as should be provided by the applicant for confirmation of one or another legal fact; legal analysis of the grounds for refusal of a notary in committing notarial proceedings; ways of adjusting the course of the notarial process, offering alternatives to solving the legal situation of theperson.

The article highlights the problematic aspects of the personal participation of a person on behalf of and in the name of whom the notarial proceedings are committed. Cases where such participation is mandatory are demonstrated. Based on the research, the authors of the article offer independent conclusions and judgments on the analyzed topics.

The relevance of the work consists in the following. Tourism is appropriately considered one of the fastest growing sectors of the world economy of the XXI century. Under conditions of permanent economic crisis and therefore intense competition, the main task of the tourist enterprises is to conquer (hold) a leading place in its segment of the market of tourist services, gaining and increasing profits. One way to draw attention of consumers to their services is to offer to the market such a service which would be different from the existing ones. This should be contributed by the implementation of innovations. The issue of management of innovation activity of tourist businesses remains open and requires further consideration by scientists. The aim of our study was to define a framework of provisions for the management of innovation activity of tourist enterprises and to substantiate measures for its improvement. The set scientific tasks were performed with the help of comprehensive general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis and generalization. We examined the definitions of "innovation", "innovating activity", "innovation capacity" in relation to the specifics of the tourist business and tourist enterprises of Ukraine. The need for the involvement of managers of tourist enterprises to form the innovation potential of these enterprises was substantiated. We proposed to specify the concept of "innovation potential of tourist enterprise" as an opportunity to transform and streamline the experience and prevailing stereotypes of the interaction of the subjects of the business process and the concept of "innovation of the tourist company" as a set of scientific, organizational, technological, commercial, financial measures that promote innovation. It was stressed that to discuss the innovation potential of the company is possible only in the context of the tandem "innovation culture of an enterprise" and "professional culture of the manager". We determined three components of the innovative activity of a tourist enterprise: activities focused on finding or creating new tourist products, new methods of servicing customers, pricing policy, etc.; activity aimed at the completion of the measures implemented earlier, to the level of innovative projects (services, products, technologies), oriented to the needs of the tourist market; measures for the implementation of innovative projects or technologies of production and service provision. The scientific novelty of the work is in the proposal to consider for the first time "the innovation potential of the tourist company" as an opportunity to transform and streamline the experience and prevailing stereotypes of the interaction of the subjects of the business process and "the innovating activity of the tourist company" as a set of scientific, organizational, technological, commercial, financial measures that lead to innovation. The practical value of the work lies in the possibility of using studied definitions of "innovation", "innovative activity", "innovation capacity", "innovation potential" in the practical work in the field of tourist business. The basis of further research might be studying the impact of innovative changes on the organizational culture of tourist enterprises.
