In order to implement the goal of the research, we used the materials of the municipal public institution “Tolyatti Archive” (orders and resolutions of the mayor of Tolyatti), data from periodicals, memoirs of contemporaries, materials of the current archive of the Samara diocesan administration closed to the public (reports of the ruling Bishop of the Samara diocese to the Moscow Patriarchate), materials from the author’s personal archive: reports of the assistant governors of Samara Oblast on religious issues reports of both secular and ecclesiastical officials on the religious situation in Samara Oblast and Tolyatti, other official and unofficial documents, many of which, due to their specificity, do not end up in Church or secular archives (correspondence between the heads of local religious organizations with Tolyatti Duma and City Hall officials; protocols of City Hall meetings on religious issues and the protocols of meetings in the religious organizations, which were conducted by the author). The research methodology includes the method of document analysis. Analysis. The construction of churches, the development of educational institutions, the opening of a monastery, guardianship and fraternities, and the publication of religious periodicals continued in 1997–2003. For Tolyatti’s clergy and believers, the preparation and celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ was an opportunity to express themselves in the media, increase the number of parishes and ask the authorities for assistance in solving various life issues including financial assistance. The Orthodox clergy also hoped to solve the problem of various religious organizations and sects functioning on the territory of Tolyatti, which they considered their canonical territory, with the help of the authorities. Results. With the celebration of the 2000th anniversary of Christianity, Orthodox religious organizations strengthened their position in society, established a dialogue with business and government, and gained advantages over other religious organizations in all matters. It was connected with both the allocation of land for temples and their subsequent financing.

In 2013 the State Duma of Russian Federation adopted a Federal Law “banning propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors». This law provoked great discussions between sexual minorities and their opponents in the media: the first began to criticize the Law as infringing upon their rights, others, after a long silence, resumed their attacks on the homosexuals. Due to such discussions Sociologists think that homophobia is reviving in Russia. According to the American psychological Association, only 16% of the population in modern Russia can accept homosexuality as the norm (against 60% in USA and 80% in Europe). This is the public opinion in Russia. And only such cautious, squeamish attitude toward those people as not quite healthy pones allows sociologists to talk about a revival of homophobic attitudes in our country. In the article authors make an attempt to understand the arguments of opponents of sexual orientation and to trace the ideological origins of “Russian homophobia”. For this, the authors of the research are trying to answer the questions: is it correct to justify homosexuality as normal behavior, referring to the homosexual behavior of animals, how is homosexuality caused by norms of Russian culture, what is its contribution to the arts, what do world religions say about same-sex relationships, what is its impact on the development of the society, what does the modern medicine think about this phenomenon. There is an attempt to reproduce the logic of homophobic arguments, so common today in Russia, to understand its origins and ideological Foundation. This is done only for the purpose of finding compromises and developing balanced, tolerant positions on both sides. The authors hope that considerations expressed in the article will be useful in resolving such an important social and cultural issue as a confrontation between homosexuals and heterosexuals, and will make the contribution to the guarantees of rights and freedoms in the Russian Federation.

In 2006 the World Bank studied which were the primary engines of nations’ wealth and concluded that it depends to a large extent on the legitimacy of their public institutions. This research explores legitimacy as an intangible good of the public sector, considering legitimacy as a judgment on the actions of organizations according to social values ​​and norms (Suchman, 1995; Deephouse, 1996; Tyler, 2006; Bitektine, 2011). Related to this concept, we address the concepts of online legitimacy and media legitimacy. Four dimensions of legitimacy are studied: procedural, consequential, structural, and personal. The objective of this work is to explore the evolution of the degree of congruence of the judgments of legitimacy that are formulated about a public institution and their leaders, media, and citizens. The selected case study is the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports and its ministers José Ignacio Wert and Iñigo Méndez de Vigo (2011-2015). The methodological design used for the empirical observation is triangular, enabling a quantitative content analysis to contrast the three observation points from a physical and online perspective. The data enable an evaluation of the evolution over time of the congruence between the statements of the person who directs a public organization and their consequences regarding the trust of citizens. The results reveal the aspects of legitimacy that must be considered in communication practices to avoid disconnecting the organization from the media and citizens. Resumen En 2006 el Banco Mundial estudió cuáles fueron los motores primordiales de riqueza de las naciones y concluyó que la riqueza de los países depende en una gran parte de la legitimidad de sus instituciones públicas. Esta investigación explora la legitimidad como un bien intangible del sector público, considerando la legitimidad como un juicio sobre las acciones de las organizaciones de acuerdo a valores y normas sociales (Suchman, 1995; Deephouse, 1996; Tyler, 2006; Bitektine, 2011). Relacionados a este concepto, aborda los conceptos de legitimidad online y legitimidad mediática. Se estudian cuatro dimensiones de la legitimidad: procedimental, consiguiente, estructural y personal. El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar la evolución del grado de congruencia de los juicios de legitimidad que formulan sobre una institución pública y su líder, la propia organización, los medios y los ciudadanos. El caso de estudio seleccionado es el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte y sus ministros José Ignacio Wert e Iñigo Méndez de Vigo (2011-2015). El diseño metodológico empleado para la observación empírica es triangular y se trata de un análisis de contenido cuantitativo para contrastar los tres puntos de observación desde una perspectiva tradicional y online. Los datos permitirán evaluar la evolución en el tiempo de la congruencia entre el discurso de la persona que dirige una organización pública y sus consecuencias en la confianza de los ciudadanos. A la luz de los resultados se muestran los aspectos de la legitimidad que hay que considerar en las prácticas de comunicación para evitar la desconexión de la organización con los medios y con los ciudadanos.

The following article presents a systematic review of the studies of religion in the mediatized public sphere of Scandinavian countries. The mediatized public sphere is tackled as constituted by interrelated media spaces, those of mass media, the Internet, and religious media and media of popular culture which are specifically organized public spaces, each of which varies in their degree of openness to different publics. A review of the empirical research reveals the specificity of the public (re)presentations of religion in each media space. In the Scandinavian mass media, religious issues are covered within the political frame, and “banalized” (Hjavard, 2013), while religious organizations have few opportunities to influence the representation of religious content. Due to its’ non-strict “entrance fee” and the spread of horizontal links, religious issues are articulated by agents though different ideologies on the Internet. Religious media space is an environment where religious organizations seek to maintain an institutional version of the religious narrative. In the media of popular culture, religious themes as a part of popular culture are interpreted aesthetically, and thus, makes this space a repository of religious meanings and identities that can be used in the course of political and public discussions about religion. The variety of media spaces enables the public circulation of diverse representations of religion, and allows various groups to discuss their ideological articulations of religion. However, this results in the polarization of public debates about religion and the fragmentation of the audience. The proposed model of the media spheres’ division into political spaces can be used as a framework for the analysis of the (re)presentation of religion in the Russian media.

Whistleblowing and a free press are vital to facilitating public accountability for powerful institutions and thereby improving integrity across the public and private sectors. But when is a whistleblower permitted to disclose information to the media? Once a whistleblower speaks to a journalist, what protections and assurances will they be entitled to? This article addresses these questions by examining existing protections for private and public sector whistleblowers and, relatedly, journalists’ confidential sources under federal law. In this way, it explores the intersection between whistleblowing and press freedom and reveals gaps and weaknesses in existing legal frameworks.
