Introduction. The current stage of political history is characterized by the fact that Russia is increasingly aware of itself as the core of another, not Western, Eurasian civilization. In this regard, an in-depth study of our country`s identity, the specifics of its political culture and related political traditions that have a centuries-old history seems relevant.
Materials and Methods. The research material is historical information regarding the development of Russian statehood and its political institutions. Psychoanalytic, cultural anthropological, comparative-historical methods are used.
Results. Archetypes as content of the collective unconscious are the psychic imprints of centuries-old historical experience. The core role in the Russian political culture was played by the manifestation of the archetype of the father (Father the Tsar). This archetype became the basis of the myth of the “good tsar”. The myth, in turn, became the basis of the Russian monarchy as a political tradition. The Russian monarchy, at the beginning of its history, was characterized by patrimonial dynasticism, which was later replaced by family dynasticism involving the transfer of power from father to son. A characteristic feature of the autocracy was the presence of an advisory body under the tsar. Most often, the Boyar Duma acted as such a body. Periodically, the Boyar Duma was replenished with new members and, thus, transformed into the Zemsky Sobor. The transformation of autocratic power into the imperial power of an absolute monarch made it possible to build a large-scale multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state.
Discussion and Conclusion. Reliance on psychoanalytic and anthropological methods in the process of studying political traditions presupposes a deep comprehension of their essence. The archetype of the father of the people (Father the Tsar) expresses itself in the myth, with which the existence of a monarchical form of government is associated, as a tradition that was of great importance for the political history of Russia. The Russian monarchy was the most important element of statehood, which largely determined its character. Deliberation and practical use of historical experience can play a positive role in solving the problems facing the modern Russian state.

Introduction. This paper examines the issue of socio-political modernization in the Western civilizational sphere in the context of globalization. The relevance of this study stems from the crisis of universalist models of Western modernity, the reevaluation of linear-progressive interpretations of historical development, and the need for a philosophical understanding of modernization practices in a multi-structured global world. The aim of the article is to examine and represent the practice of the West’s socio-political modernization in correlation with globalization processes, models, and stages of modern development. Within the framework of this objective, the study addresses the analysis of the global context of modernization, historical examples and analogies of the modernization of states and societies, as well as the characteristics of theoretical modeling in the social sciences and humanities.
Materials and Methods. The methodological framework of this study is based on retrospective and comparative analysis, philosophical hermeneutics, and ideal-typical modeling methods.
Results. This study identifies the specific characteristics of the global context of modernization and analyzes the typology and waves of globalization, as well as their upward and downward trends, in relation to various “paths” of modernity. It is shown that globalization processes have a significant impact on the forms and models of sociopolitical modernization, as well as on the nature of philosophical interpretations of modernity.
Discussion and Conclusion. It is concluded that globalization functions not only as a process of integration and standardization of social practices, economies, and models of political governance, but also as a means of spreading Western liberal-capitalist modernity. The methodological significance of analyzing modernization practices and the limitations of universalist concepts of progress in the context of contemporary global development are substantiated.

Introduction. The use of information as a tool of influence has ancient roots. The information wars of the first half of the 20^th century served as a kind of prelude to the emergence of modern information wars. The destructive impact of information wars on both the collective public consciousness and the individual can be more significant than that of open armed conflicts. The purpose of this article is to analyze the modern information confrontation waged by adversaries, as well as to identify its specific characteristics and tools.
Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological foundation of this study is a set of general scientific and socio-philosophical methods. The methods employed include analysis and synthesis, the dialectical method, comparative and systemic analysis, and the historical-genetic approach.
Results. Modern information warfare arises in the context of a developed information space, since it is precisely within this space that the consciousness of the masses is shaped, emotional states are influenced, and the ideological framework for further aggressive actions is established. Information pressure in modern warfare includes the internalization of certain behavioral patterns into the mass consciousness, as well as the manipulation of information processes, information management systems, and enemy information.
Discussion and Conclusion. First-generation methods of information warfare were aimed at undermining the stability of an adversary’s command-and-control systems, while second-generation methods are aimed at manipulating public opinion. Third-generation methods focus on the use of information networks. There are four main areas of research in information countermeasures: psychological, normative, conflict studies, and technological.

Introduction. In today’s environment, the educational paradigm is undergoing a transformation driven by information technology, shifting the focus from the rote acquisition of knowledge to the development of students’ creative potential. Key technological trends, methods for integrating them into the educational process, and the associated challenges and risks are coming to the fore. The aim of this study is to identify and characterize effective mechanisms for developing an individual’s creative potential through the use of information technology in education.
Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the analysis and synthesis of existing academic knowledge with the aim of constructing a structured, well-reasoned, and critical review of the issue of developing students’ creative abilities in the digital age. To form a comprehensive picture of the work, a conceptual synthesis of theories from various disciplines is applied. A critical analysis was conducted to identify the risks and limitations, rather than just the benefits, of the influence of information technologies on students’ creative processes.
Results. In the digital age, which is overflowing with information noise and demands constant adaptation, openness to new experiences, a willingness to take risks, and tolerance for uncertainty have come to the forefront in defining a student’s creative potential. The engine of economic growth in modern cities and countries is not industrial giants, but communities of scientists, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, and representatives of the media and the arts. At the same time, the digital environment is actively shaping new cognitive patterns that have a dual impact on creative potential: on the one hand, there is concern regarding the emergence of clip-based thinking; on the other, the cultivation of a more productive form of nonlinear, hypertextual thinking. Despite the boundless potential of information technologies to unlock creativity, its integration into the educational context is fraught with a number of challenges and risks — digital inequality, the replacement of the creative process with the use of ready-made templates, cognitive overload, and the tension between the potential of artificial intelligence as a human partner and the threat of losing authorship.
Discussion and Conclusion. In the digital age, an individual’s creative potential is a multifaceted and dynamic construct. It has evolved from a narrowly defined talent into a universal competency essential for success in science, engineering, and business. Developing creative potential today is not an optional task, but a central vector for human adaptation and fulfillment in a rapidly changing world. A key role here is assigned to the educator, who must act not only as a transmitter of technical skills but also as a mentor, helping students preserve their uniqueness, critical thinking, and ability to deeply comprehend information.

Introduction. This study is devoted to the peculiarities of global digital signs` functioning in the culture of young people in the Black Sea region (the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Crimea) in conditions of glocalization. The interaction of global and local cultural forms through the prism of glocalization and the high activity of young people in the digital environment made it possible to identify features of global digital signs` functioning in the semiotic culture of young people in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Crimea. Young people in the Black Sea region are actively adapting global digital signs to local cultural contexts, forming unique semiotic patterns that reflect localization processes in the digital environment.
Materials and Methods. Semiotic approach and empirical data on the digital activity of young people were used (Rosstat statistics, data from Levada-сenter, regional research). The methodology combines analysis of the digital environment, glocalization processes and identification of ways to adapt global signs to local cultural contexts.
Results. The results of the study show that the digital environment in the Black Sea region functions not just as a set of technologies but as a space for the formation and transformation of sign systems that reflect social and cultural changes. The analysis of the digital activity of young people in the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea revealed differences in media preferences and communication patterns, which forms unique local codes and symbolic practices. The application of glocalization and semiotic approach allows linking global processes with local cultural practices, revealing the relationship between digital technologies, youth culture and global semiotic dynamics.
Discussion and Conclusion. The study shows that the digital environment of the youth of the Black Sea region forms unique local interpretations of global signs, influencing value guidelines, behavioral models and regional identity. The results of the work open up prospects for further study of the processes of glocalization and transformation of cultural practices of young people in the context of digital communication.

Introduction. The urgent task of modern higher pedagogical education is to ensure the educational process՚s dialogization of future specialists, the need to prepare teachers who could introduce an educational dialogue in practice. Attention is focused not only on the importance of the assimilation of theoretical knowledge by future teachers, mastering skills during vocational training but also on the formation of the necessary personality traits that would contribute to the creation of an atmosphere of trust, mutual understanding and co-creation in the educational environment. The purpose of the article is to determine and substantiate the components and criteria of the personal readiness of future teachers to dialogize the educational process.
Materials and Methods. The main research methods, the use of which involves the development of a structure of personal readiness of future teachers to dialogize the educational process, are theoretical analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, systematization, content analysis.
Results. The concept of personal readiness of future teachers to dialogize the educational process, which is defined as a complex dynamic education, is outlined. The structure of the personal readiness of future teachers to dialogize the educational process is developed. Particular attention is paid to such personality traits as professional orientation, emotional intelligence, empathy, congruence, unconditional acceptance, reflexivity and the need for self-development. The complexity of the structure of personal readiness of future teachers before the dialogization of the educational process is ensured by covering all stages of professional activity: indicative, executive and control.
Discussion and Conclusion. The developed structure can be used as the basis of empirical research. The results of theoretical analysis will be useful for the development of training programs for future teachers aimed at establishing the necessary personality traits for the effective implementation of the dialogical approach in the educational process.

Introduction. Today, the development of legal awareness, both in individuals and in society as a whole, has taken on particular significance and is the subject of much debate. The law permeates every aspect of human activity, and the ability to navigate legislation has become an essential skill. It is not only future lawyers who need to understand legal nuances – a grasp of the fundamentals of the law will also be useful for those who choose a different career path. The aim of this study is to examine the content of currently applied approaches to fostering a legal culture, the ultimate goal of which is to develop students’ understanding of and respect for legal norms and principles.
Materials and Methods. The methodological framework is based on research methods that are widely used in the academic community. Their application involves the use of a comprehensive set of approaches to conduct a detailed analysis of the issue at hand: systemic, activity-based, functional, and interdisciplinary.
Results. An analysis of the academic literature in the fields of cultural studies, education, and law has revealed that, to date, there is no established model for fostering a legal culture in today’s educational environment that educational institutions adhere to. This is explained by the fact that the development of legal consciousness as an element of legal culture is closely linked to legal ideology, in the formation of which the state plays a key role. At the same time, efforts must be made to develop an appropriate model, not only by the state, but also by educational institutions and social institutions of society. The legal culture of students is defined as a complex phenomenon aimed at fostering proper legal behavior among students of higher education institutions, as well as developing a deep understanding of a sense of responsibility and the ability for self-analysis and self-criticism. A direct correlation has been established between the quality of legal education that students receive in educational institutions and the level of development of their legal culture.
Discussion and Conclusion. The modern higher education system currently has enormous potential to positively influence students: fostering personal qualities, developing public speaking skills, and so on. To effectively enhance students’ legal literacy, faculty members at law schools employ a comprehensive approach, utilizing both traditional and specialized teaching methods. However, regarding non-law schools, it is worth noting the positive experience of engaging practicing lawyers to conduct thematic lectures.

Introduction. The concept of “rights of nature” is gaining popularity and being accentuated in the legal systems of various states. Analysis of foreign experience in the recognition and consolidation of the rights of nature creates a synergistic relationship between human rights to a safe environment and environmental rights of the Earth, which acts as a catalyst for practical actions on the part of mankind aimed at maintaining and protecting nature. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to find the optimal model of synergistic coordination of human rights and nature, taking into account the environmental, anthropological and axiological differences of society.
Materials and Methods. The methodological framework of the research is based on the data of the International Monitoring of Environmental Jurisprudence, the European project Horizon H2020, the European Green Pact, legislative documents of the countries of Europe, South and North America. Assessment of domestic and foreign environmental solutions reveals advantages and disadvantages of the studied approach in the field of environmental management. Modeling and forecasting allow us to systematize successful foreign experience and identify ways to improve the environmental policy of the Russian Federation.
Results. Analysis of specific normative approaches to the definition and implementation of environmental law in the environmental policy of different countries makes it possible to determine the value of the concept under study, as well as a number of practical grounds (methods of implementation, recognition of responsible parties, determination of the legal standing of nature) that regulate human and environmental relations. The study of environmental approaches to the legal protection of nature, implemented on the territory of the Russian Federation, makes it possible to redefine the concept of Earth’s rights and highlight sustainable legal solutions to pressing environmental problems.
Discussion and Conclusion. Having carried out the comparative analysis of the effectiveness of foreign experience in implementing environmental policy, taking into account numerous manifestations of nature rights: at the level of constitutional and legislative changes, regulatory decisions, court decisions, private environmental projects, etc., it was concluded that it is necessary to develop the concept of environmental jurisprudence in Russia with the development of provisions on the legal standing of nature.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of animalier art of Soviet artists of the 20^th century, presented at the exhibition of the Institute of Living Systems of DSTU. The scientific problem of the study is caused by the lack of comprehensive work on cultural analysis of works that reveal the theme of the unity of man and animals in Soviet art of the second half of the 20^th century. The purpose of the article is to identify the historical, cultural, artistic and ethical value of these works. Tasks include attributing previously unknown canvases and determining their role in the context of the realistic tradition of the academic school, represented by the names of L.V. Turzhansky, A.A. Plastova, V.S. Tsigal and others. The relevance of the work is justified, on the one hand, by the lack of research publications on this topic, and on the other, by the increasing status of the animal vector in the modern cultural space.
Materials and Methods. The study is based on the analysis of paintings from the exhibition of DSTU, including the work of graduates and teachers of the Moscow State Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Descriptive, historical, cultural, iconographic and stylistic analytical methods were used as scientific methods. This approach made it possible for the first time to introduce previously unknown samples of fine art into scientific circulation and systematize them according to their artistic and thematic significance.
Results. It was revealed that the presented paintings of the Soviet animalier art masters reveal a little-studied cultural layer in the history of Russian art. It was determined that the key value guidelines in the work of artists were the unity of man with animals, the development and preservation of wildlife as an integral part of the biosphere. It was established that the reflection of the integrity of the natural world in the period under study formed a new ethical and aesthetic understanding of spiritual values in the creative worldview of Soviet painters.
Discussion and Conclusion. It was concluded that the studied works have not only high artistic value but also significant historical and cultural potential. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using materials to further comprehend the role of animalism in the context of Soviet realism. Research prospects are connected with a deeper study of the relationship of artistic images and ethical ideals of the era, as well as with the integration of these materials into museum and educational programs.

Introduction. Since their inception, large-scale festive events have served as a highly effective means of public communication. It is customary to associate the concept of a festival with cultural leisure, rest, and entertainment. However, the entertainment function is not only not the sole purpose of organizing a festive event, but also not its primary one. Throughout the history of this social phenomenon, its primary mission has been ideological propaganda. The essence of the ideology being promoted could be based on religious, political, social, moral, or artistic doctrines. But in any case, the proposed idea only penetrated the consciousness of the masses when it was presented in a systematic, understandable, and appealing manner. In other words, the ideological content conveyed through festive activities becomes effective only if it is visualized in an expressive and convincing way.
Materials and Methods. The primary method employed was bibliographic research, based on the examination of archival materials and their interpretation by contemporary scholars. The most significant contribution to the study of this issue came from the works of A.I. Piotrovsky, a Soviet literary scholar, playwright, and theater critic. The achievement of the stated goal was also based on a comparative analysis of the artistic and compositional techniques used in the design of the first revolutionary celebrations within the context of academic, Futurist, and Constructivist approaches.
Results. This paper examines various methods used to visualize the propaganda and agitation policies of the young Soviet state, which sought to foster a positive attitude among the masses toward the new ideology through vividly staged festive events. Amid economic ruin and fierce political confrontation with the enemies of the Soviet system, the government allocated considerable financial and human resources to organizing these celebrations. These spectacular events were intended to bring a sense of joy and optimism, as well as faith in the superiority of the new state system, into the difficult lives of Soviet Russia’s citizens. To this end, the best artists, architects, and designers were enlisted to design the celebrations.
Discussion and Conclusion. The experience of using artistic and expressive approaches to shaping the visual space of a holiday has enriched exhibition design with a rich arsenal of tools for visually conveying ideological content. Many techniques for creating a festive atmosphere in an urban setting are successfully applied in the present day as well. An important factor in the development of artists’ exhibition activities in festival design was the involvement of students from design universities in fulfilling government commissions. Exceeding expectations, the synergy of experience and innovative creative thinking ensured the effective achievement of objectives while using minimal material resources.

Introduction. For the development of modern culture, the prospects for organizing popular science tourism in rural areas of the territory are of great interest to researchers, the content side of which is visiting scientific facilities and participating in specialized activities, master classes, seminars. Scientific problems are caused by the need to search for “catalysts” for the development of tourism in rural areas while using new types of resources. The purpose of the article is to identify the prospects for the development of popular science tourism in rural areas of the Rostov region based on the analysis of the popular science tourism՚s specifics.
Materials and Methods. The conceptual basis of the study lies in the hypothesis of the possibility of developing rural areas through the escalation of certain types of tourism, in particular, popular science. The works of domestic and foreign researchers on the problems of the article are used. At the same time, emphasis is placed on theoretical studies of the content of the “popular science tourism՚s” concept and the regional aspect of the problems of its development. The resource method, the system analysis method, as well as spatial and predictive methods are used as research methods.
Results. The authors chose the areas located in the west of the region as the objects of research: Kamensky, Belokalitvensky, Tarasovsky, Millerovsky, Chertkovsky, Verkhnedonskoy, Sholokhovsky. The choice of these areas was due to their geographical location, in particular, being near the Federal Highway, M-4 “Don”, which provides favorable opportunities for the inflow of potential tourists. For each of the areas, potential popular science objects were identified that could become “growth points” of regional popular science tourism. At the same time, objects of both natural and cultural nature (museums, archaeological sites and others) were considered. The results are shown in Table.
Discussion and Сonclusion. Based on the analysis, the infrastructural advantages of the studied areas from the standpoint of the potential tourists reception were identified. The number of hotels and other tourist infrastructure facilities is shown, including in tabular form. As a result, as a basis for further research, promising routes of popular science tourism have been offered in the most object and infrastructural provided rural areas. The results of the study can be adapted to other territories of the Russian Federation with agrarian specifics in order to intensify domestic tourism.
