The purpose of the study is to investigate what communication and media technologies and information operations are used by the mass media of the Russian Federation in relation to Ukraine to propagate the image of the “other/alien”. The methodology chosen for the work combines the application of the following methods and approaches: network analysis, SWOT-analysis, system, integrated and civilization approaches, system analysis, method of systematization and classification, methods of analysis, synthesis, objectivity, generalizations, analogies, case study, etc. The article explores the use of communication, media and information-psychological technologies by the Russian mass media to create and effectively promote the image of an enemy, alien, the other during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which began in 2014. The authors insist that the “Russkiy Mir” idea is promoted through the propaganda and manipulation resulting in the image of the adversary of this idea – “the other.” The “Russkiy Mir” foe does not perceive everything with the designation “Russian” as a priori positive and better, doubt the correctness of such a position, and therefore wishes evil to the supporters of the “Russkiy Mir”. Information operations and the most widespread media technologies in the Russian-Ukrainian information warfare are analyzed to model the image of “the other” as a threat. Prospects for further scientific researches are connected with the study of new scientific concepts that is some network-centric warfare, hybrid warfare, cyberwarfare, asymmetric warfare, undeclared information warfare, and others.

Subject. We investigate trends in the development of the largest steel companies in the Russian Federation. Objectives. The aim of the study is to conduct an industry-wide analysis of the production and economic activities of the largest domestic enterprises operating in the iron and steel industry. Methods. The study employs methods of comparative and system analysis, graphical and statistical methods for data processing. Results. We present the analysis of main production and economic indicators of the leading steel producers of the Russian Federation, i.e. NLMK, Severstal, MMK, and EVRAZ. The paper reveals their current status and key development trends. Conclusions. The largest Russian steel companies face serious challenges in both the domestic and foreign market. Competitive interactions in the domestic market as to the sale price of rolled metal and the share of presence are particularly sensitive. The threat of reduced supplies to export markets is also significant for Russian steel producers. It may entail insufficient utilization of capacities and potential loss of added value. The companies mainly export semi–finished goods and hot-rolled flat products, i.e. low-added value products. Products with high added value are usually delivered to the domestic market.

Abstract—The cryptographic algorithms Kuznyechik and Magma since 2015 are block cipher standardized in the Russian Federation, formally called GOST R 34.12-2015. Both use fixed functions as a priori selected and differ on the structure, the block length and the bit-level of the processed blocks. In the present paper, we provide a dynamic variant of Kuznyechik and Magma where some of their functions are randomly generated and dependent on pseudorandom sequences.Tóm tắt—Các thuật toán mã hóa Kuznyechik và MAGMA từ năm 2015 là mật mã khối được tiêu chuẩn hóa ở Liên bang Nga, được gọi chính thức là GOST R 34.12-2015. Hai thuật toán này đều sử dụng các hàm chức năng được lựa chọn ưu tiên và khác nhau về cấu trúc, độ dài khối và mức bit của các khối được xử lý. Trong bài báo này, nhóm tác giả cung cấp một biến thể động của Kuznyechik và MAGMA, trong đó một số hàm chức năng của chúng được tạo ngẫu nhiên và phụ thuộc vào chuỗi giả ngẫu nhiên.
