This paper presents a sociolinguistic analysis of the current linguistic situation in the Russian Federation. Preservation and development of the Russian language represents the national interest of the state. The Russian language has the status of a state language, but, given the large number of ethnic groups living on the territory of Russia, it must not jeopardise other national languages, as this could lead to inter-ethnic conflicts. Some of the key issues Russia is currently facing in this field are: the process of globalisation, the uncontrolled penetration of anglicisms into the Russian language, the adverse impact of the Internet and social networks on literacy, especially with the younger population. All valid rules of the Russian orthography are, in fact, prescribed by the Government of The Russian Federation. Laws regulating the area of language policy are the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Law on the Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation, and the Law on the State Language of the Russian Federation.

Introduction. This work inspects the activities of Russian institutions (government agencies, foundations, public associations and educational organizations) as instruments of soft power in the field of the dissemination of the Russian language and culture in Spain. The pre-requisites of establishing the language strategy as a foreign policy instrument, the main forms and sphere of activities in promoting and supporting the Russian language in Spain are analyzed in this article. Methods. The comparative historical method is used to substantiate the aspects of the formation and development of the language policy program of the Russian Federation in Spain and other European countries in the historical retrospective. The systematic approach is used to formulate a holistic view of the policy of promoting the Russian language and culture in Spain as an instrument of soft power. Also, the institutional and neo-institutional approaches are used to identify formal and informal institutions of soft power in the field of popularization of the Russian language and culture in Spain. Analysis. As a result of analyzing the problem, the legal foundations and institutional foundations of the activities of the Russian Federation to popularize the Russian language and culture in Spain have been studied. The main directions and results of the soft power policy in the field of popularizing the Russian language and culture in Spain and their role in creating a positive image of Russia in Spain have also been identified. Results. The study shows that in recent years, thanks to the soft power policy, the Russian Federation has managed to maintain and, in some positions, expand its presence in Spain in the humanitarian and information space.

Attempts to build a “Russian world” within the former Soviet republics of Central Asia by introducing an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space with the Russian Federation are studied in the article. The threats to the Central Asian countries’ information space are analyzed. The data on gradual changing of orientations of the Central Asian states’ citizens when choosing sources of information is provided. It is concluded that the technologies of the Russian Federation’s propaganda in Central Asia are aimed primarily at the formation of the president of Russia positive image among the widest possible groups of population. Attempts to push so-called “the Russian world”, which already jeopardize global peaceful balance, are grounded, in particular, on a widespread use of the Russian language within the territories of the former USSR that serves to propagate an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space. At the same time, a revival and development of national languages and cultures are intensively ongoing in all new independent states. It provokes a confrontation that often causes points of tension and conflicts. A large number of the Russian media, including federal state editions, TV channels. the Sputnik news agency etc. operates in Central Asian information space. Using own controlled media, the Kremlin seeks to convince the Central Asian states’ citizens that the Russia’s foreign policy is a right one, as well as to form a positive image of Russia and president Putin as a politician who is capable to ensure stability and security in the Central Asian region. The Russian Federation pays a special attention to Eastern Kazakhstan, where a large number of ethnic Russians is concentrated. Kazakhstan has much in common with Ukraine on its ethnic population composition, economic situation and geographical proximity to Russia. As in Ukraine, the ethnic Russians make up about 1/5 of the population in Kazakhstan, meanwhile the Russian language is widely used in all spheres. Russia calls its initiative a “humanitarian project”, but there is no doubt that the Kremlin is fighting for minds of younger generation, trying to impose own culture and values on young people. Recently, while alternative sources of information have been spreading, more and more Central Asian habitants opt for online information in their national languages, considering Russianspeaking news resources to be a propaganda.

В статье рассмотрена возможность внесения изменений в лицензионные требования, касающиеся подтверждения квалификации работников, состоящих в штате соискателей лицензии (лицензиатов). Выполнение указанных требований обязательно при намерении осуществлять (осуществлении) деятельность по тушению пожаров в населенных пунктах, на производственных объектах и объектах инфраструктуры, а также деятельность по монтажу, техническому обслуживанию и ремонту средств обеспечения пожарной безопасности зданий и сооружений. Проведен анализ введенных в действие в рамках реализации «регуляторной гильотины» положений о лицензировании видов деятельности в области пожарной безопасности, утвержденных постановлениями Правительства Российской Федерации. Кроме того, с использованием положений нормативных правовых актов Российской Федерации и нормативных документов проанализирован общий механизм формирования системы независимой оценки квалификации, в том числе в области пожарной безопасности, рассмотрены перспективы внесения изменений в лицензионные требования. Сделан вывод о том, что характер прогнозируемых изменений должен соответствовать общему направлению развития Национальной системы квалификаций. В статье исследовано также современное положение дел с формированием профессиональных стандартов в области пожарной безопасности, разработка которых закреплена за Советом по профессиональным квалификациям в области обеспечения безопасности в чрезвычайных ситуациях. The article considers the possibility of amending the licensing requirements regarding the confirmation of the qualifications of permanent employees who are the license applicants (licensees). Fulfillment of the specified requirements is mandatory if it is intended to carry out (implement) fire fighting activities in settlements, at industrial facilities and infrastructure facilities, as well as activities for installation, maintenance and repair of fire safety facilities for buildings and structures. The analysis of regulations on licensing of fire safety activities, approved by the resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation is carried out. These regulations are implemented as part of realization of “regulatory guillotine”. Furthermore, the general mechanism for formation of the system for independent qualification assessment, including in the field of fire safety is analyzed as well as the prospects for amending licensing requirements were considered. The above mentioned analysis is carried out using the provisions of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and regulatory documents. It is concluded that the nature of predictable changes should correspond to the general direction of development of the unified National qualification system. The article also considers the current state of formation stages of professional standards in the field of fire safety. The development of such standards is assigned to the Council for professional qualifications in the field of safety in emergency situations.

AbstractThe chapter traces the evolution of digital art produced in the Russian Federation and in the Russian language by critically considering a number of case studies and re-conceptualizing historical periods. It takes into account technologies, institutions, individual artists and artistic networks, and modes of presentation, appreciation and re-contextualization. It contributes to the debates about the nature and focus of art in the digital era by assessing historical, economic and creative factors. It showcases how digital art might be understood as a particular medium, platform, network, aesthetic and function, and it also argues that digital art does not fit into those categories. Instead notions of transformation, scope and duration are used to account for new forms of artistic expression.

This note is a response to the criticism of colleagues who expressed their opinion about the publication: Razumov V.I., Orekhovsky P.A. Carnival Time: Russian Higher Education and Science in the Postmodern Era // Ideas and Ideals. – 2020. – Vol. 12, N 3, pt. 1. – P. 77–94. The article received ten different responses, including both agreements with some of the theses, and objections, as well as alternative proposals. The works represent a wide scientific geography from Abakan to Moscow, although the bulk of the reviews came from Novosibirsk. The authors represent various humanitarian specialties. An analysis of the works published in Ideas and Ideals allows us to conclude that the reforms of science and education undertaken by the Government of the Russian Federation are alarming. At the same time, attention is drawn to both dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs and a wide range of ideas about what strategy for the development of science and education is required in modern Russia. Similarly, very different positions are presented in relation to postmodernism and its role in changes in science and education. The authors make an attempt to characterize the grounds for the coincidence and difference of the positions of the debaters and authors.
