Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the need to effectively support the process of nation-building which implies coping with social and political tasks that are fundamental for the Russian state and the population of the country. This is the completion of the formation of the Russian nation, ensuring civil, ethno-cultural, and territorial identities, taking into account their balanced and harmonious coexistence and development, preservation and strengthening of national identity in the adverse conditions of global, regional and internal trends and challenges. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the state policy of nation-building in modern Russia and to identify its content, institutions and mechanisms of formation and implementation by means of interpreting expert assessments and the practice of the responsible bodies in the structure of the federal government. Materials and Methods. The study is based on the materials of an expert survey on the issues of nation-building, on the data from the official websites of the relevant committees of the State Duma and the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, as well as from the System for ensuring legislative activity. The analysis of the activities of parliamentary committees was performed using institutional, comparative, and the formal legal methods. Results. The authors have proposed a variant of the conceptualization of the state policy of nation-building through creating a hierarchy of factors of nation-building, highlighting its key areas, methods and technologies, explaining the specifics of the normative consolidation, the structure and the implementation mechanisms. In terms of the inventory, codification and demonstration of the issue, the status-role characteristics of the parliamentary institutions involved in the nation-building process have been identified and emphasized. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study have theoretical and practical significance. The systemic idea of the essence and content of the state policy of nation-building has been formulated and substantiated. The main areas of concern, the established constants, and new vectors in the activities of the relevant committees and in the relations between the federal bodies of legislative and executive power have been revealed. The results of the study can be used to improve their work in various areas of the public policy focused on promoting nation-building, expanding and deepening the dialogue between the authorities and non-governmental institutions.

This article argues that the nation-building process in the post-World War II era often results in changes in the definitions of adolescence and in the status of youth. This happens because both nation building and economic development have become the responsibilities of modern states. Using the work of John Meyer and his students (1978, 1979), I argue that these state-sponsored activities are guided by institutional “recipes” for development that are embodied in world system ideology. A key component of this ideology is the idea that rational action results from the activities of appropriately socialized individuals. As a result, harnessing the motivation of individuals to collective goals becomes a central concern of modern states. Efforts to do so have produced a number of institutional forms that have diffused rapidly throughout the periphery, for example, educational expansion. The adoption of other institutional devices to link individuals to the state depends on the internal characteristics of national societies. We focus on one such process and develop an index to measure it: the political incorporation of youth in the state.

Recognizing the existence of a crisis of civil identity, Russian state proclaims patriotic values an integral part of Russian state policy in documents of strategic importance. The need to educate citizenship and patriotism has ceased to be only a theoretical problem, and has found its embodiment in a large number of federal and regional programs. In comparison with the previous decades, the role and importance of civic identity and civic competence in modern Russia are becoming much more important. The civil competence of the student is formed by education-pedagogically organized purposeful process of development of the student as a person, a citizen, the development and adoption of values, moral attitudes and moral norms of societies. National security strategy of the Russian Federation (2015) relates to Russia's traditional spiritual and moral values: the priority of the spiritual over the material, protecting human life, rights and freedoms of the individual, family, creative work, service to the Fatherland, the norms of morality, humanity, mercy, justice, mutual aid, collectivism, historical unity of the peoples of Russia, the continuity of the history of our country. The formation of the civil identity of the young Russian personality forms with the help of Federal state educational standards of primary General, basic General and secondary General education, so the state policy in overcoming the crisis of civil identity devotes a large number of documents and programs to the field of education. The article attempts to trace how through normative and legal acts the state consistently tries to overcome the crisis of civil identity, identified by the scientific and expert community. Following the authors of state programs and the expert community studying the problems of identity crisis, it is noted in the article that the formation of civil identity is one of the most important conditions for the successful development of the country.

A Priority

The maintenance of civil peace and harmony in the Russian state from time immemorial has been defined as a priority that allows maintaining the integrity of both state and territorial. Global processes taking place in the world, epidemic waves of viruses, incessant local wars, diligent attempts to separate people and peoples bring to the fore the need to consolidate society in order to ensure the national security of the country. In this context, the importance of statistics increases, which significantly affects the perception of the dominant values by society, forms the attitude of people to the state policy being pursued. At the same time, the understanding of statistical information (figures, data) in a number of cases does not correspond to reality, making it difficult to adequately assess the existing situation, which is associated with an insufficient level of statistical literacy of the population, officials and specialists in various fields of activity.

The first chapter introduces the issue topic and presents a set of research questions for the study. It then discusses briefly the argument of the book, its methodology, as well as the structure of the book. Specifically, it points out that this book is a comparative historical account of the state and nation-building process in an “organic” upland area that shares lots of similarities in terms of geography and ethnic diversity, yet has become increasingly incorporated into a set of neighboring modern states. Departing from existing approaches that look at such processes mainly from the angle of singular, bounded territorial states, the book argues that a more fruitful approach is to see how state and nation building in one country can influence, and be influenced by, the same processes across borders.

Introduction. By this time the ministry has not yet become central bodies of executive power (CEB), whose leading function is the formation of State policy. The type chosen for another CEB does not always correspond to the features performed by this organ. It is difficult to separate the "functions in the implementation of State policy" from "some functions for implementing State Policy". The law does not define "public policy". This negatively affects the functioning of the CEB system. The aim of the article. The purpose of the article is analysis of existing problems in organization and activity of the system of the CEB and scientific substantiation of ways of their solution. Results. The term "ministry" means a kind of CEB has two main features: 1) The ministry responsible for the development of State policy; 2) The ministry is headed by a member of the government-a politician and not a government official. The main purpose of the executive power-solving body of social problems; Task – A set of measures that are derived from the main goal and subject to resolution to achieve it, specify the main purpose of the activity of the Authority; The function is activity related to obtaining a clearly defined final result which directly reflects the goal achievement and tasks of the executive authority. As for the optimal number of ministries in Ukraine, we believe that the decisive should be that all directions of the State policy are in the sphere of influence of the government, their unjustified chopping or consolidation between the ministries, as well as the chosen The number of ministries allowed to implement program of CMU. Along with the agencies, services and inspections should allocate another category of "other" CEBs, which neither in the form nor on the functional orientation do not belong to services, agencies, inspections. State policy-enshrined in the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, other acts of legislation the rules of operation and strategic objectives of the State and their due directions of activity of the State, approved by the decisions of the competent bodies of State power. Conclusions. The basis for the reform of the existing system of COIS proposed to put a division of functions in the formation of State policy and functions for the implementation of State policy. The CMU should provide for the formation and implementation of State policy. Ministry – to form State policy and ensure its implementation. Other CEBs – implement State policy. The legislation should define the meaning of the term "public policy". The tasks and functions of ministries shall be clearly defined. The type of each other CEB (service, Agency, inspection) shall comply with the legally fixed features for it.

Post Industrial

Information security in the modern post-industrial “authorized” world is becoming one of the key ele-ments in the state’s national security system. The author of the article notes that the Russian state policy in the field of information security is imple-mented according to a “tough” model: reliance on law enforcement agencies and prohibitive measures, the desire to control the transmission channels of big data, to monopolize or at least take control of the main sources of media generation. As recom-mendations for optimizing the state information policy, the author proposes to strengthen the inter-action of state institutions with non-profit organiza-tions, social movements and other elements of civil society. Moreover, it is needed to move from a pro-hibitive model of informational confrontation to a combined one, combining both counterpropaganda and readiness for dialogue with external political actors on mutual interests; to step up the work of state bodies in compliance with the legality of the circulation of information in the latest communica-tion systems. It is also proposed to introduce the development of competence to counter informa-tional political aggression into the system of train-ing the state and municipal employees.

Публикация продолжает рассмотрение причинно-следственных связей низкой эффективности государственной политики в сфере продления периода активного долголетия с несистемным подходом к формированию и реализации государственных программ. В контексте анализа причин недостаточной эффективности действующих государственных программ в сфере совершенствования социальной поддержки пожилых граждан гериатрия позиционируется как составная часть геронтологии - направление прикладных исследований, обеспечивающих решение медицинских, социальных, психологических и иных проблем, возникающих у граждан старших возрастных групп. В частности, эти проблемы связаны с психофизиологическим, социально-экономическим, образовательным, культурным и правовым статусом указанной категории граждан. Формализуется область использования гериатрической помощи и ее статус как базовой составляющей комплексной медико-социальной помощи гражданам старшего поколения. Обосновывается влияние геронтологии и гериатрии в процессе обеспечения системной поддержки повышения качества жизни пожилых граждан, являющейся одним из приоритетов государственной политики России. Мотивируется необходимость изменения действующих законодательных актов и нормативных документов, регламентирующих оказание государственной поддержки гражданам старшего поколения, системной переработки действующих государственных программ в указанной сфере, основанной на использовании научного подхода к решению проблемы адаптации государства к процессам постарения общества. The publication continues to consider the cause-subsequent relationships of low efficiency of the state policy in the field of prolonging the period of active longevity altogether with unsystematic approaches to the formation and implementation of state programs. In the context of the analysis of the reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of existing state programs in the field of improving social support for senior citizens, geriatrics is positioned as an integral part of gerontology - an area of applied research that provides solutions to medical, social, psychological and other problems that arise among citizens of elderly. In particular, these problems are associated with the psychophysiological, socio-economic, educational, cultural and legal status of this category of citizens. Geriatric care and its status as a basic component of comprehensive medical and social assistance to senior citizens are formalized. The influence of gerontology and geriatrics in the process of providing systemic support for improving the quality of life of senior citizens, which is one of the priorities of Russian state policy, is substantiated. The motivation is the need to amend existing laws and regulations governing the provision of state support to senior citizens, systematic processing of existing government programs in this area, based on the use of a scientifi c approach to solving the problem of adapting the state to the aging processes of society.

The article focuses on the relevance of identification and typology of modern risks and threats to the economic security of Ukraine. According to the nature of modern risks and threats, they are classified as hybrid. The hybrid nature of modern threats to Ukraine’s economic security necessitates the application of new approaches to the formation and implementation of state policy to ensure the economic security of Ukraine’s national economy. It is shown that the economic security of the state is a complex dynamic system that requires constant monitoring and management of resilience to internal and external threats in order to ensure a positive impact on socio-economic development, improve macroeconomic development, ensure quality and necessary structural changes and institutional reforms. formation of the system of competitiveness of the national economy. Under such conditions, the general goal of state policy should be to improve Ukraine’s economic security system, ensure a higher level of its resistance to the impact of hybrid risks and threats, factors and conditions of globalization and the world order. The elements of the state policy of economic security of Ukraine are determined, namely – the initial conditions, the purpose of state policy, goals and principles of policy, directions of formation of the system of counteraction to security threats, financial-resource and organizational-managerial support. The practical significance of the research results is that the immaturity of the integral system of economic security of the state is identified, which is due to the imperfection of the institutional environment, the imbalance of its structure, the predominance of the role of informal institutions over formal ones. The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate the conceptual provisions of state policy to ensure the economic security of the state in the face of non-standard hybrid risks and threats.
