Introduction. The system of Russia’s long-term economic interests in the Black Sea basin, which are realised on the basis of mobilising the maritime potential of the Russian Black Sea region, necessitates the creation of a system of strategic partnership to ensure regional security in the Black Sea basin based on the implementation of the Russian foreign policy concept and activation of international organisations with Russia’s participation, BSEC, etc., which determines the relevance of this study. The aim of this work is to substantiate the theoretical foundations and practical recommendations to ensure national economic interests in the context of the foreign policy, as well as to determine the measures necessary for strategically initial positioning of the Russian Black Sea region in the system of sustainable strategic partnership. According to the aim of the research the tasks were defined to study the systematisation of theoretical approaches and methodological foundations for ensuring national economic interests in the context of the foreign policy concept.
Materials and Methods. The following research methods were used to obtain the results: theoretical analysis and generalisation; induction and deduction; analysis and synthesis, graphic visualisation of the results of identification of the main directions and tasks of formation of a descriptive model of development of interregional and international cooperation of the Black Sea region.
Results. Methodological and practical issues of formation and realisation of economic and other interests of interregional and cross-border cooperation of Russian regions in the context of foreign policy concept are discussed. The descriptive model of development of interregional and international cooperation of the Russian Black Sea region is presented, which is based on the main interests and tasks of intensification of interregional cooperation of the regions, as well as basic targets for the development of interregional cooperation of the regions of the Russian Black Sea region in the context of the foreign policy concept.
Discussion and Conclusion. A basic model of the formation of regional interests in new geopolitical conditions has been developed using the example of the Russian Black Sea region. The significance of the Russian Black Sea region in the system of international economic relations and national security of the Russian Federation, which is primarily due to its geographical location, is considered. Russia’s interests in the Black Sea basin are considered in several dimensions — geopolitical, geoeconomic, environmental and military-defense.

Introduction. Socio-demographic security of the region is a dominant national security trend. In this regard, there is a need for its systematic diagnostics based on the use of indicators that adequately reflect the dominant processes occurring in regional economic systems. The purpose of the article is to clarify a number of definitions and supplement the existing indicators for diagnosing socio-demographic security of the region with new ones reflecting additional trends in the regional economy in the context of modern economic realities.
Materials and Methods. The complexity of the methods used in the study, namely, comparison, grouping, generalization and analysis, is explained by the problems of work that combine sociology, labor economics and regional economics. Classic tools for collecting and processing information (official statistical indicators), methods of grouping data (compiling tables and calculating absolute deviation and growth rates in order to determine dynamic changes according to the grouped data), visualization (graphs) were used.
Results. Approaches to determining socio-demographic security are systema-tized, the author’s definition of sociodemographic security is given in the context of its relationship with extended reproduction of population and the human potential development index. The composition of units and indicators included in them is proposed in order to characterize socio-demographic security of the region reflecting modern trends in the labor market.
Discussion and Conclusion. Four units of indicators characterize socio-democratic security of the region and, along with traditional ones, include such as “the number of socially vulnerable categories of population”, “the number of persons of intellectual work”, “the number of employees in platform employment format”. The proposed approach to the comprehensive characterization of socio-demographic security of the Russian region allows taking into account all the trends that are currently characteristic of the dynamics of regional socio-economic systems.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of Nazi social policy as a tool for eliminating class conflicts through the creation of a racially homogeneous people’s community, designed to become a pillar of the regime. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the racial aspects of Nazi social policy.
Materials and Methods. The authors relied mainly on publications in periodicals of the Third Reich; issues of the Imperial Legislative Gazette; documents published abroad; works of foreign scientists which are not translated into Russian, with the exception of Evans’ monograph. The article is based on an interdisciplinary approach; theoretically, the authors are guided by the theory of totalitarianism, which retains significant potential when addressing Nazi issues. A special role in solving the problem was played by the method of system analysis, which made it possible to reveal the essential aspects and the priority role of a racially oriented social policy designed to unite the German population of the Third Reich in the ranks of the people’s community.
Results. The racial aspect of Nazi social policy was its basic element. The social security system and socially oriented programs were designed exclusively for racially “full-fledged” compatriots. “The people’s community” included “the production community”, corporate organizations of the small and middle urban bourgeoisie, “the Imperial Food Estate”, and the bureaucratic corps. The exclusion of the Jewish population from the number of recipients of state social support, along with other forms of discrimination, was a prelude to “the final solution of the Jewish question”.
Discussion and Conclusion. Without being implemented in practice, the thesis about the people’s community had a serious propaganda effect. In the pre-war years, the Nazis attempted to create a specific version of a totalitarian-social state in which the principle of racial discrimination acted as one of the fundamental ones. Systemic social policy based on racial theory allowed the Nazis to create an effective mechanism for preventing social conflicts and achieve consolidation around the regime of most of German society.

Introduction. The cultural sphere is a dynamically developing area, which quickly adapts to emerging economic, political, social and other factors of influence, as well as to the increasing demands of the ‘consumer’. With the development of modern technologies, changes are taking place in many spheres of social life, including cultural life. The purpose of this study is to examine how AR and VR-technologies influence the sphere of culture. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set: to analyse what multimedia technologies are used in socio-cultural projects, to identify and evaluate successful practices of implementing virtual and augmented reality technologies in various cultural areas, and to study the statistics of VR and AR-technologies application in recent years.
Materials and Methods. A comprehensive analysis has been carried out using a variety of research methods. The case study method was used to examine the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies on specific examples. A statistical analysis was conducted to identify the demand for further development of multimedia technologies in culture.
Results confirm the idea of active digitalisation of creative industries and allow us to conclude that the cultural sphere is currently one of the most promising areas for the development of virtual and augmented reality technologies.
Discussion and Conclusion. The case studies analysed in this article can be used by cultural institutions that are at the initial stage of introducing VR and AR technologies into their cultural products. The topic of application of modern technologies in the cultural sphere requires continuous and long-term analysis. Future research may explore the use of artificial intelligence in the cultural sphere.

Introduction. Cinema, toys, literature for children are not only the source of entertainment but also the most important tool for the formation of moral values. K.I. Chukovsky was convinced that films, cartoons and books should be the bearer of true spiritual wealth, and not the means to satisfy sinister interests and primitive needs. Modern children’s publishing, in contrast to the beliefs of the writer and the required standards imposed on it, is oversaturated with hidden deviations, which poses a particular danger to children. The purpose of our work is to continue the study of increasing hidden tendencies of destruction of children’s consciousness through the production of mass culture, which were long ago identified by K.I. Chukovsky in his critical works and are included in the basis of the current study of the problem.
Materials and Methods. The basis of this study is the following methods: historical and literary, axiological, formal logic. The main material base was the works of K.I. Chukovsky: “Multi” (1940), “Corruption of children’s souls” (1948), “Corruption of American children” (1949), “Education of gangsters” (1949), works of domestic and foreign researchers of the phenomenon of mass culture.
Results. American comics and the work of W. Disney as part of mass culture in the refraction of criticism of the writer are weapons of mass destruction: they morally decompose children, impose a hedonistic and anti-human way of life on them, oppose tradition, blur and neutralize the concepts of good/evil, light/darkness, norm/deviation in the children’s consciousness.
Discussion and Conclusion. Critical works of K.I. Chukovsky clearly show that mass culture contains a risky potential that can decompose morality, form deviant spirituality, promote and implant any idea. Research on this issue allows us to respond in a timely manner and take the necessary actions in order to prevent tragic consequences in the issue of raising the younger generation. Especially now, when there is a merciless mental war against our children.

Introduction. Today the problem of education of a citizen and patriot is highly relevant. Every teacher will say that patriotism is the moral foundation of any modern state. Patriotism gives an impetus to social progress, contributing to the formation of an active personal and civic position. For modern teachers, the process of teaching English allows them to develop a sense of patriotism in the young generation. This is possible due to the emphasis of the scientific discipline both on the communicative component and on the analysis of everyday life, traditions and customs, as well as the language of other nations. The object of the study is civic-patriotic education in the process of teaching a foreign language. The aim of the article is to analyse the existing methods and approaches of patriotism education in higher education and to identify the most effective complex in teaching a foreign language.
Materials and Methods. The analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological, linguistic literature on the studied problem has been carried out; methodological foundations of professional activity of foreign language teachers, educational programmes and methodological manuals have been studied, pedagogical experience in the framework of patriotism education at foreign language lessons has been taken into account. General theoretical methods are applied: analysis, synthesis, method of analogy, modelling, comparative method and complex interdisciplinary approach.
Results. Taking into account the level of development of modern youth, we use the following methods of teaching and education in our work: project activities, excursion lessons, extracurricular activities, integrated lessons. Many years of experience show that such activities as preparing presentations about their school, hometown, outstanding people of their small homeland, conducting integrated lessons, excursions, extracurricular activities for Defender of the Motherland Day and Victory Day contribute to the formation of world outlook, civic and patriotic qualities of modern youth.
Discussion and Conclusion. Today, the university occupies the most important place in the process of formation of patriotic aspirations in the individual. The most effective educational tools for the formation of patriotic qualities in teaching a foreign language are considered. The scientific results obtained in the process of research can be used in further development of the problems of patriotic education in modern conditions and improvement of the content and methods of teaching foreign languages.

Introduction. In today’s world, the issues of ecology and sustainable development are becoming more and more relevant. One of the areas where these problems can be successfully solved is the design of printing products. The urgency of this topic has determined the purpose of the study, which consists in the analysis of specific design approaches in the greening of polygraphic production. Taking into account the growing interest of society and state structures in environmental efficiency in various production sectors, the study of environmental principles in printing becomes not only an aesthetic, but also a socio-cultural, economic and technological trend of modern communicative design.
Materials and Methods. The material for this study was the latest scientific developments in the field of printing production, which opened up new opportunities for saving material resources, achieving an optimal ratio of costs and durability of products, the development of new materials and technologies that reduce environmental damage. The basic method was bibliographic research. The implementation of the stated goal was also based on the method of analysis of formal and stylistic features of objects of design of polygraphic products in the context of the formation of new aesthetics and digitalisation of the design process.
Results. Approaches to optimisation of printing production from the point of view of its ecological efficiency are studied. The ways of minimising harmful effects on the environment at the stages of design and manufacturing of printing objects are considered. Specific design methods of saving materials to ensure ecological circulation, reducing the toxicity of polygraphic production, introducing interactive technologies and style approaches to the artistic design of book publications in the context of environmental issues are described. Some of these methods contradict the usual traditions of printing design and even the accepted regulatory requirements, but from the point of view of the environmental agenda they represent innovative technologies. The experience of these innovations forms a new ecological culture of society.
Discussion and Conclusion. Ecological design in printing production plays an important role in creating a sustainable and socially responsible industry. The development of this area requires joint efforts on the part of producers, designers, consumers and government agencies in order to create a healthier and safer environment for human civilisation. Using specific methods and tools, design becomes a driver for the formation of environmental culture and a factor of environmental safety of society.

Introduction. The scientific problem of the nature and essence of human is raised on the basis of understanding the phenomenon of love in the texts of the New Testament. In the light of the monumental changes that modern humanity is experiencing, the issues of the relationship between Christian love and the sophic concept, their philosophical and theological foundations, are actualized. The purpose of the study is to draw attention to the deep meanings of love in the Gospel texts.
Materials and Methods. Dialogue reading is used as a method of cognition, and through it the most important aspects of the human world are studied. Dialogueness has long been in philosophy the principle of understanding the world around us. From the standpoint of dialogue as a method of knowledge, human thinking, the sociocultural world, and its laws of contradiction are examined. General theoretical research methods, dialectical and historical approaches are also used.
Results. It is justified to distinguish three eras of increasing interest to the mastering of the New Testament text in culture: the era of the approval of Christianity on the territory of the Roman Empire; the era of the Reformation, religious wars and bourgeois revolutions, and finally the modern era. The relationship between philosophical and theological foundations of the identity of love in Christianity as the highest virtue, uniting human with God and neighbor and Divine Wisdom, has been studied and analyzed.
Discussion and Conclusion. The most important result in the development of the concept of anthropology of love in the texts of the New Testament was the combination of philosophical and theological aspects, philosophy and mysticism, in understanding the Divine nature of love, the sacralization of the theme of love. This concept occupies an important place in religious and philosophical reflections and writings of a number of Orthodox thinkers such as Vladimir Solovyov, Sergiy Bulgakov. In the Christian context, Sophia is often identified with the Divine Wisdom which is mentioned in the Old Testament, especially in the books of Proverbs, Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach.

Introduction. The study highlights course and results of the migration campaign initiated in the USSR in 1944 to overcome the negative economic and demographic consequences of the eviction of Crimean Tatars from Crimea in May of the same year. The relevance of the topic is conditioned by the remaining lacunas in the historiography. In particular, the South Russian regional historiography does not sufficiently analyse the activities of the local Party and Soviet authorities in the implementation of government resolutions on the resettlement of Don, Kuban and Stavropol collective farmers in the Crimea and the attitude of collective farmers themselves to this campaign.
Materials and Methods. This paper is based on archival and published documents and materials. The leading research methods were chronological and comparative-historical.
Results. It is noted that the deportation of Crimean Tatars entailed a sharp deterioration of the economic and demographic situation on the peninsula. In an effort to restore the economy of the Crimea, in 1944 the USSR government organised the resettlement of 17 thousand collective farmers’ farms to the peninsula. The Ukrainian SSR and the RSFSR acted as donor regions for resettlement to the Crimea. In particular, such administrative-territorial formations of the Russian Federation as Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories were to allocate 7 thousand farms for resettlement to the Crimea. Many collective farmers actively responded to the call of the authorities and voluntarily resettled in the Crimea. All this made it possible to fulfil the planned resettlement plans.
Discussion and Conclusion. It has been proved that the final effect of this compensatory migration was minimal. The main reason for the failure of the government’s plans was the fact that neither resettlement collective farms nor ordinary collective farmers could fully adapt to the unfamiliar natural, climatic and economic conditions of the Crimea. This hindered the process of economic consolidation of settlers on the peninsula and stimulated the mass return of collective farmers to their homeland.
