This chapter will investigate various Russian cinematic treatments of the salvific aspiration invested in either the nation or the individual as conceived in the Russian Idea. The works of the selected directors are looked at against the backdrop of this national narrative with which they engage directly or indirectly. The chapter argues that from Andrei Tarkovsky, whose oeuvre has come to epitomize the spiritual search in Russian cinema at its most intense, to contemporary filmmakers Alexander Sokurov, Pavel Lungin, and Andrei Zviagintsev, the portrayal of Russian society has increasingly lost the idealized spiritual aura of its messianic destiny, leaving salvation as an individual solution.

Student motivation at class takes major role on achieving courses’ learning outcomes. Multimedia based content, game-based quiz, or self-assessment can maintain student interest to follow the learning process. Apart from the individual solution, working in group is one way to improve student motivation, however without proper arrangement, putting students in groups can degrade the competitive atmosphere of class, as less-smart students hang up to the more-smart students. Another alternative is implementing collaborative learning such as peer assessment that allows students to grade their fellows. However, objectivity between students must be concerned as students tend to give high-grade for their fellows. Combining group mode and peer assessment, this work proposed group peer assessment to improve student motivation on e-learning. Proposed method started by teacher open a group assignment on e-learning. Students then work on group to create solution. After the solutions are submitted, the extra-group peer assessment begins, where each group examines another group work. To maintain the objectivity of the peer assessment, final grade of each group obtained by combining grade from another group and grade from teacher.  In the meantime, cooperation atmosphere in each group is maintained by intra-group peer assessment, where each member asses all his/her teammates in terms of intra-personal and inter-personal skills.

The article is devoted to the problem of spiritual and moral education of personality in the conditions of modern Russia. Some aspects of the existing meaning of life attitudes, spiritual and moral characteristics of society are considered, ways of solving problems of a legal and moral nature in conditions of social changes are proposed. Particular attention is paid to examining the relationship between morality, law and patriotism in the system of personal perception. In modern conditions, great attention must be paid to monitoring the spiritual and moral characteristics of Russian society, its moral and ethical state. Specific data from such studies will make it possible to draw a conclusion taking into account specific territories, forming a visual “matrix” with territories where improvements are needed in relation to spiritual and moral values. The results of sociological research will help to see exactly where such work is needed. This is especially true of patriotic education, forms and methods, according to which it is recommended to carry out this kind of activity. In the process of creating methods, it is necessary to abandon the experience of building patriotism based on ineffective measures, without taking into account the historical specifics and specific statistics. It is important to take into account the situation on the ground, public opinion, the presence or absence of a systemic crisis, the situation in the field of human rights. In addition, it would be very useful to create patriotic applications on smartphones, where it would be possible, in a game or other form of active interaction, to gain knowledge about Russian history, heroic deeds of the past, and about the prospects for people with developed moral and ethical qualities. Outside of the separation from digital technologies, it is possible to give meaning to life not only to young people, but also to those who are already of age, by teaching them how to use the latest digital technologies and take advantage of high-speed Internet. It is necessary to create a complex toolkit, which would take into account all aspects of the conditions and circumstances under which effective and comprehensive patriotic and spiritual and moral education is possible.

The relevance of the article is associated by the author with the complex socioeconomic, political realities in which modern Russian society finds itself. The author turns to the category “social time” to characterize the changes in various spheres of society’s life. Focusing on such modern trends as digitalization, commercialization, atomization of society and the individual, the author turns to the category of “human capital”, designed to smooth out the indicated negative phenomena and restore the integrity of the social communications system. As a confirmation of the importance of human capital development at the state level, the article analyzes the fundamental doctrinal documents in the area under consideration. The author is elected for understanding the Priority-2030 program as an urgent initiative aimed, among other things, at building up human capital with the help of the education system. The author analyzes various authors’ positions in order to identify threats that impede the development of human capital within the education system. The methodological basis of the study was the methods of content analysis of the works of leading researchers, as well as discourse analysis of publications in the media and information resources. Analysis of the regulatory framework, as well as significant research platforms, allowed us to conclude that the principles of commercialization, digitalization, and bureaucratization prevail in the modern educational paradigm. At the same time, national priorities for building up human capital require a value-semantic foundation, which culture and educational activities are capable of providing.

The problems of an individual’s socialization have always been relevant, but in the conditions of deep transformation of social institutions of the Russian society, they have become particularly acute and important. The radical nature of the reforms have determined the features of the social state, which consist in the formation of a fundamentally new social reality. The transition to a market economy and consumer society has led to a radical change in the world outlook, values, and value orientations of the population. In these conditions, new approaches to the socialization of the individual, the formation of qualities, and value orientations corresponding to the market society are necessary. The purpose of the article lies in determining the initial principles of human socialization in the changed Russian society based on the analysis of existing approaches in scientific knowledge. For this purpose, the authors have employed the methods of analysis and comparison of existing concepts of socialization. This article presents an analysis of socialization theories of domestic and foreign researchers, analysis of economic and socio-cultural factors in the formation of a new system of values and value orientations in Russian society. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the proposal to consider a balanced combination of individualism and collectivism as the initial principles of personal socialization in the process of forming new values and value orientations of individuals, as well as to consider the socialization of the individual in relation to the socialization of economic relations. The choice of a balanced and harmonious combination of individualism and collectivism as a guideline for the socialization of the individual in the transformed Russian society allows us to build a new system of socialization. This requires new methods of socialization of the individual, new ideological and value content of the social space.

Russian society is currently struggling on its road towards recognizing the rights and freedoms of the individual, as well as towards establishing the rule of law and institutions, norms and procedures of a civil society. The current poor state of the legal profession is due significantly to lawyers with substandard qualifications. This fact has delayed the speed of progressive social, political and spiritual reforms, and has complicated the quest for freedom and legal rights by the Russian people. An analysis of the previous Russian experience and a creative interpretation of state and legal traditions might be useful to solve current problems. One such lesson may be learned from studying the history of the Bar (Advokatura), which once used to influence the social and political life in Russia.

The article reflects K.P. Pobedonostsev’s understanding of the events of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877–1878. He noticed the spiritual division of the society in the face of wartime challenges. It was based on the Christian conscience of the individual, or its spiritual passivity. The war of 1877– 1878 divided the Russian society into sincere figures who were ready to sacrifice their lives, property, time, and formal reputation for the sake of faith, the Tsar, the Fatherland, the suffering neighbors, and into those who preferred to put on self-interest and skepticism, and hide behind indifference and instructions. The more formalized an official’s activities are, the more harmful and less effective they are. Favoritism and theft were not harmed by this order. The less work you do for your conscience, for the sake of loving your neighbor and fulfilling your duty to God, the greater the need for fear of punishment. On the other hand, the more formalized an official’s activities are, the greater the fear of responsibility when taking the initiative. In the social activities of wartime, the thinker also saw a division into modest ascetics and noisy demonstrative personalities, who, acting for show, were more harmful to the cause. On the other hand, according to K.P. Pobedonostsev, the war had awakened many forces that were sleeping in the people’s environment.
