Stress negatively affects the mental health of students, causes anxiety and depression, leads to poor academic performance, lowers level of professional training and success in the future. The purpose of the research is to study the state of mental health of medical students to develop recommendations for the prevention of maladaptation. Materials and methods. 252 5-year students aged 20–29 (22 ± 1,1) years, 168 (66,7 %) females and 84 (33,3 %) males (137 students of Belgorod State University and 115 of Altay State Medical University (ASMU)) were examined by medico-sociological and psychometric methods. Results. It was established that every fifth student of the Belgorod State University and every third of the ASMU did not enter the medical university on their own initiative. Less than half (43 %) of Belgorod State University students and 30.4 % of the ASMU ones are convinced that the choice of profession was correct, 35 and 37.4 % are, consequently, completely disappointed with it. Students of Belgorod State University dealt with training stress factors poorer and, as a result, have more pronounced mental symptoms of training stress, difficulties in organizing the daily regimen, irregular nutrition, and fear of the future. Regardless of the region of studying, the number of students not committed to the medical profession, after 5 years of study, is more than 3 times higher among those who enter the university not on their own initiative. Students of the ASMU hit substances, skipped classes, played computer games and took sedative drugs more often to overcome academic stress. The degree of anxiety before the exams in students of Belgorod State University was higher (9 points) than in their peers from the State Medical University (7 points). An extremely high (8–10 points) level of anxiety before exams was characteristic of 75,9 and 44,3 % of students, respectively. The former were more likely to experience clinically significant panic attacks: 27,7 and 6,1 %. Conclusion. Given the high incidence of social phobia (19,1–24,1 %), depression (22,6–32,2 %) and anxiety (21,9– 27,8 %) among medical students, the development and implementation of psycho-correctional programs aimed at the formation of adaptive ways to overcome stress, reduce anxiety and depression is required. This will prevent the development of psychosomatic disorders and addictions.

В статье говорится об этнографической экспедиции ленинградского Государственного музея этнографии, проведенной в 1946 г. в Удмуртии. Она оказалась совершенно забыта, в современной историографии о ней нет почти никаких упоминаний. Между тем, это была первая этнографическая экспедиция Государственного этнографического музея в Удмуртию. Возглавляла ее Т.А. Крюкова – старший научный сотрудник музея. В организации экспедиции оказался задействован и Ленинградский государственный университет, студенты которого проходили таким образом практику. В ходе поездки были обследованы районы проживания удмуртов (северных и южных), а также бесермян и марийцев, проживавших в пределах республики. В результате была собрана достаточно полная, систематически подобранная коллекция этнографических экспонатов (280 предметов). Среди них большую группу составили: предметы одежды, образцы вышивки, узорного тканья; значительной оказалась категория культовых предметов (ритуальная утварь, одежда, жертвенные предметы), а также группа предметов, характеризующих внутренне убранство жилища. Успеху экспедиции способствовала совместная деятельность с научными учреждениями, а также партийными и государственными органами республики. Впоследствии это сотрудничество продолжилось и помогло провести еще ряд экспедиций в Удмуртию. The article talks about the ethnographic expedition of the Leningrad State Museum of Ethnography, carried out in 1946 in Udmurtia. It turned out to be completely forgotten, in modern historiography there is almost no mention of it. Meanwhile, this was the first ethnographic expedition of the State Ethnographic Museum to Udmurtia. It was headed by T.A. Kryukova is a senior researcher at the museum. In organizing the expedition, the Leningrad State University was also involved, whose students underwent practical training in this way. During the trip, the areas of residence of the Udmurts (northern and southern), as well as Besermyans and Mari, who lived within the republic, were examined. As a result, a fairly complete, systematically selected collection of ethnographic exhibits (280 items) was collected. Among them, a large group consisted of: garments, samples of embroidery, patterned weaving; the category of cult objects (ritual utensils, clothing, sacrificial objects) turned out to be significant, as well as a group of objects characterizing the interior decoration of the dwelling. The success of the expedition was facilitated by joint activities with scientific institutions, as well as party and state bodies of the republic. Subsequently, this cooperation continued and helped to conduct in the future a number of expeditions to Udmurtia

As an implication of the tendency of students who have graduated from the undergraduate education program to the postgraduate level to choose the same study program as in the Islamic communication and broadcasting study program at UIN North Sumatra, then that also along with the high numbers that affect the motivation of strata 1 to return to study and continue their education at a higher level. This condition is caused by learning motivation can grow because of the need for what is learned, both for the present and the future. That someone who has intrinsic motivation always wants to advance in learning. This desire is motivated by positive thinking, that everything learned at the strata-level will be needed and very useful now and in the future. 2.) The interest of the community is increasing to choose the Islamic broadcasting communication department as the chosen study program to continue the study, considering that the administrative conditions are relatively easy and do not make students who continue their studies happy and fast in completing their studies, it does not mean that the graduates with the state of administration and graduates graduating on time.

At the end of the twentieth century, questions of a secondary nature suddenly became topical: what do we remember and who owns the memory? Memory as one of the mental characteristics of an individual’s activity is complemented by the concept of collective memory, which requires a different method of analysis than the activity of a separate individual. In the 1970s, a situation arose that gave rise to the so-called "historical politics" or "memory politics." If philosophical studies of memory problems of the 30’s and 40’s of the twentieth century were focused mainly on the peculiarities of perception of the past in the individual and collective consciousness and did not go beyond scientific discussions, then half a century later the situation has changed dramatically. The problem of memory has found its political sound: historians and sociologists, politicians and representatives of the media have entered the discourse on memory. Modern society, including all social, ethnic and family groups, has undergone a profound change in the traditional attitude towards the past, which has been associated with changes in the structure of government. In connection with the discrediting of the Soviet Union, the rapid decline of the Communist Party and its ideology, there was a collapse of Marxism, which provided for a certain model of time and history. The end of the revolutionary idea, a powerful vector that indicated the direction of historical time into the future, inevitably led to a rapid change in perception of the past. Three models of the future, which, according to Pierre Nora, defined the face of the past (the future as a restoration of the past, the future as progress and the future as a revolution) that existed until recently, have now lost their relevance. Today, absolute uncertainty hangs over the future. The inability to predict the future poses certain challenges to the present. The end of any teleology of history imposes on the present a debt of memory. Features of the life of memory, the specifics of its state and functioning directly affect the state of identity, both personal and collective. Distortion of memory, its incorrect work, and its ideological manipulation can give rise to an identity crisis. The memorial phenomenon is a certain political resource in a situation of severe socio-political breaks and changes. In the conditions of the economic crisis and in the absence of a real and clear program for future development, the state often seeks to turn memory into the main element of national consolidation.
