Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to a number of factors, both external (global, general, universal) and internal (social, historical and cultural, value-based). The scale of the problem is also determined by the high level of confrontation in the world of value-based coordinate systems: moral, religious-anthropological and social. General uncertainty has actualized the problem of sociocultural factors’ influence on the transformation of value-based orientations of Russian youth. Obviously, the goals of the education system and the organization of work with young people are common, since in both cases the educational potential of universities and the resource base for the implementation of the tasks of the state youth policy (SYP) are involved.
Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study was sociological and philosophical-historical concepts that make it possible to analyze the implementation of the value-based approach in the context of the search for principles for building a new national education system in Russia. The principles of consistency and complexity are implemented. Comparative analysis and sociological research methods are used.
Results. The comparative analysis of key studies carried out in the field of youth sociology, transformation of the higher education system in Russia was carried out. The results of the necessary integration of the resources of the influence of state youth policy and educational potential in the formation of a system of values and worldviews among young people are provided. It has been proven that in the scope of the axiological approach and with the help of effective pedagogical tools, it is possible to create conditions for the formation of Russian identity. Recommendations have been formulated that make it possible to timely assess the risks of spiritual transformations as well as proposals aimed at updating the federal strategy for the development of educational activities in educational organizations.
Discussion and Conclusion. Russia needs an ideological integral educational system that concentrates the best traditions of Russian science: fundamentality, interdisciplinarity, anthropological meanings and values. Education aimed at the formation of the basic attitudes of young people not only affects making important decisions about values and ideals, but also forms intellectual sovereignty that is one of the most important principles for the preservation and development of Russia in the future.

Introduction. In connection with the current agenda of the widespread imposition by the West of anti-values and anticulture, children are in a special risk zone. For many years, and today with particular force, the latent formation of children’s deviant spirituality has been carried out through publishing. In order to identify this trend, the task is to refer to the experience of the leader of Russian literature studies K.I. Chukovsky. This reference showed quite specifically that the origins of growing destructiveness, negatively affecting the spiritual and moral education and development of children and youth, are located at the beginning of the 20^th century. Over time, they only intensified.
Materials and Methods. Axiological and systemic approaches, historical method, methods of moral theology and formal logic are applied. The main material base was the work of K.I. Chukovsky “Nat Pinkerton and modern literature” (1908), the works of domestic and foreign philosophers as well as modern studies of literature studies. Particular attention was paid to the study of the research done by the famous Russian teacher V.I. Soroka-Rosinsky.
Results. It has been revealed that the man’s rejection of their spiritual principles (the process of secularization) leads to the degradation of the man themselves, to the well-known “everything is allowed” (F.M. Dostoevsky). K.I. Chukovsky was able to see the signs of this all-permissive threat (“signs of illness, but not illness”), in particular, in the issue of upbringing and development of children. He tried to demonstrate it on the example of the figure of the detective “Nat Pinkerton”, popular among children and young people at that time.
Discussion and Conclusion. K.I. Chukovsky was one of the first to see the prerequisites for the formation of children’s deviant spirituality at the beginning of the last century as a consequence of a systemic anthropological crisis. His hypotheses are confirmed by further studies, in particular, done by V.I. Soroka-Rosinsky and other scientists.

Introduction. Today, there is an increased interest in culinary, wine or gastronomic tours among tourists. Enogastronomic tour is a new tourist product, a set of activities for tasting traditional cuisine and drinks in a certain region. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the functioning of enogastronomic tourism in the Republic of Crimea as a form of intensification of preservation and a tool to popularise the cultural heritage of the region.
Materials and Methods. To achieve the goal, both general scientific methods of research as well as special ones were used: structural-functional and comparative methods, statistical and prognostic methods, method of computer processing of information, and others.
Results. It is proved that enogastronomic tourism is a type of tourism aimed at getting acquainted with the history, technology and culture of beverage consumption and gastronomy in the region. Enogastronomic tourism includes wine tourism and gastronomic tourism. The tourist potential of Crimea is based on the natural potential, cultural heritage, enogastronomic potential (Crimean cuisine and winemaking), tourist infrastructure. The necessity of taking into account local culture, traditions and customs in the development of enogastronomic tours in order to preserve the cultural heritage of the Republic of Crimea and create an authentic experience for tourists is proved.
Discussion and Conclusion. It is concluded that enogastronomic tourism in Crimea is a form of intensification of preservation and a tool for popularisation of the cultural heritage of the region. The directions of strategic development of enogastronomic tourism in the form of projects to improve enogastronomic tours in Crimea are under development.

Introduction. The study focuses on the growing role of religions in the life of North Caucasian society. It shows that such religions as Islam, Christianity and Judaism have a high potential for ensuring social and political stability in the multiethnic region. The main theological contradictions between the currents in Islam is under analysis.
Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is formed by general philosophical methods and principles, ones of systematicity. The work also uses the methodology of discourse analysis of speeches and statements of political, public and religious figures, content analysis of mass media.
Results. In the modern multi-ethnic region, religion and religious organisations play a significant role in the sociopolitical and spiritual and moral spheres. Consequently, the establishment of civilised state-confessional, inter- and intraconfessional relations contributes to the preservation of peace and stability and the consolidation of Dagestan society.
Discussion and Conclusion. The problems investigated in this article are not only theoretical but also practical, as Muslim, Christian and Jewish spirituality realise their role and responsibility in maintaining peace and tranquillity in a multi-ethnic, multiconfessional and multicultural region, orient people towards peaceful relations between different peoples and religions, and towards strengthening the common homeland – Russia. Among the important features of multiethnic Dagestan is the high level of Islamic religiosity.

Introduction. Russia’s geopolitical opponents today persistently continue their activities to destabilise interethnic and interconfessional relations, and primarily to clash the followers of Islam and Orthodoxy. In this regard, studies of the religious situation in the regions of Russia are actualised. Using the example of the Republic of Dagestan, we consider the increasing information pressure on the official clergy, which calls Muslims to patriotism and responsibility for the future of the country.
Materials and Methods. The empirical basis of the research consists of statements by political, public and religious figures, official documents, materials of scientific publications and mass media. The main methodological foundation was the scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the application of which is caused by the modern requirements of humanitarian reflection.
Results. According to different interpretations of the provisions of sacred Islamic sources, the canonical views of ‘traditional’ and radical Islam differ with regard to the issue of the secular structure of the state. Radicals aim to develop a separatist discourse in Russian society by opposing religion to the secular structure of the state.
Discussion and Conclusion. Since the early period of the establishment of the Russian Federation as a democratic state based on the rule of law, the official Muslim clergy of the Republic of Dagestan has been engaged in ideological confrontation with radical currents of Islam. This confrontation is conducted not only over canonical issues, but also with the aim of preventing the planting of an ideology of religious and national intolerance and hostility in Dagestani society. The success of this work depends to a large extent on the effectiveness of State national policy, whether in the course of its implementation nationalist prejudices will be overcome in the minds of citizens and the idea of harmonious coexistence and unity of the Russian peoples will be disseminated.

Introduction. During the Great Patriotic War, in the general context of a significant mass volunteer movement of Soviet people, the volunteer movement of the Don Cossacks arose and developed quite actively. It manifested itself in various organizational and structural forms as common, in the form of the voluntary entry of the Don Cossack men and women into fighter battalions, regular and irregular military units, partisan detachments, and special in the form of separate volunteer Cossack cavalry divisions.
Materials and Methods. Documents and materials containing information on various aspects of the volunteer movement during the Great Patriotic War in the Rostov Region were identified, analyzed and used. Various research tools are used: complex and multifactorial approaches, descriptive, comparative-historical and historical-systemic methods.
Results. The participation of the Don Cossacks in the volunteer movement during the Great Patriotic War was very significant. The Cossack volunteer movement began almost immediately after the outbreak of war. In the Don villages, at numerous rallies of local residents, resolutions were adopted calling on the Cossacks to enlist in the ranks of volunteers of the people’s militia. Two Cossack cavalry divisions were formed from the Don Cossack volunteers. During the war, fighters of Don volunteer Cossack units and formations demonstrated personal courage and bravery, high morale and level of combat training, sustained power and response to orders, were awarded a great number of military orders and medals.
Discussion and Conclusion. The volunteer movement of the Don Cossacks was considered in a number of monographic studies and scientific articles devoted, in general, to the study of events during the Great Patriotic War on the Don and the participation of its inhabitants in the war. In historiography, there are also some works in which some aspects of the formation of Cossack regular and volunteer military units were studied. In this study, on the basis of a complex and multifactorial approach, a comprehensive analysis of the participation of the Don Cossacks in the volunteer movement during the Great Patriotic War as part of special Cossack cavalry formations was carried out.
