The article examines features of the public attitude formation and dynamics in the ethnic environment in the context of influencing economic and socio-cultural factors. There is a paradox of stabilization (stagnation) of the population social and socio-political activity at the background of worsening socio-economic conditions in the residence region, which is clearly manifested in the ethnic periphery conditions. The Republic of Tyva and the indigenous ethnic group (Tuvinians) are studied as a model region. The authors associate the existing paradox with the loss of a subjectivity sense by representatives of a small ethnic group related to issues of general regional social significance and, on the contrary, a significance sense of family ties as a source of safety and well-being in ordinary life. The importance of family ties determines the high potential of cohesion with the secondary importance of the subject of joint (social) action. This is a positive resource from the point of the manageability of an ethnic society as an object of management, in particular, preserving socio-political stability in the region. At the same time, it is obvious that the visible manifestations of public sentiment do not correspond to the real situation in the economy and social sphere. Public apathy can cause declining or deteriorating the regional socio-economic situation, socio-political instability, and other cataclysms in the future. This issue requires deep analysis, discussion and timely resolution to prevent negative consequences, on the contrary, harmonize the development of our multinational country in the future.

The present study analyzes the historical background of the formation of the Abkhazian economy and geographical-resource potential and the economic situation of Abkhazia before and after the Russian-Georgian war of 1991-1992. Special attention was paid to the recognition of the international status of the Republic of Abkhazia by the Russian Federation, in gross violation of international norms, the results of which did not have a significant positive impact on the economic or social well-being of the local population. However, it confirmed Russia's imperialist intentions concerning occupation of Georgian territory with the status of “peacemaker” in 1992-1993 and the fact of misleading the international community. In the chapter, the criminal nature of the economy of occupied Abkhazia is substantiated. Also, the chapter analyzes the mechanisms/levers of economic pressure management in the Russian-occupied territory and its negative consequences for the population living in the area.

Introduction. The territory of the Republic of Khakassia is endemic for goiter, in this regard, both the prevention and correction of iodine deficiency are very important. University students are a part of society, which makes up its main reproductive reserve, and the increased level of intellectual load on the background of adaptation to new living conditions and the educational process requires the adequate provision of iodine, the lack of which can negatively affect their health. The purpose of research. Assess the level of awareness and commitment to preventative behavior of University students. Material and methods. To assess the level of awareness about the negative consequences of iodine deficiency and its prevention, a questionnaire was developed for students. 452 freshmen (281 girls and 171 boys) of Khakass State University took part in an anonymous sociological poll voluntarily. Results. When analyzing interview data, it was determined only 61.6% of students to be aware of the problem of biosphere iodine deficiency in the republic; 18.8% of students found it difficult to name the clinical manifestations of iodine deficiency conditions and the most sensitive periods of ontogenesis to iodine deficiency. Methods for the prevention of iodine deficiency 25% of students consider inaccessible and expensive. 39.6% of students buy iodized salt, but only 65.5% of them are aware of the peculiarities of its storage at home and 37.5% are correctly used in cooking (before serving and at the end of cooking). It was noted the low level of regular consumption of foods rich in iodine: in 70% of respondents, these dishes were in the diet less than once a week; and 38.9% of students practically do not eat seafood. Only 2.1% of respondents constantly took iodine-containing drugs; 53.9% of the students did not use the medicine at all, and the rest of the students received iodine occasionally. However, only 4.7% of students taking drugs received an adequate prophylactic dose of iodine. Discussion. Despite the activities carried out in Khakassia in 2014-2016 as part of the program for the prevention of diseases caused by micronutrient deficiency, the study participants have an average awareness of the consequences and availability of measures for the prevention of iodine deficiency. Even among students who are aware of the problem of iodine deficiency conditions, less than half of the respondents understand the importance of eating iodized salt to reduce the overall incidence rate, maintain intellectual performance and reproductive well-being. Our results are consistent with data from surveys conducted in other regions of the country. Conclusions. To preserve and improve the somatic, mental and reproductive health of youth of Khakassia, it is necessary to strengthen the educational component of regional programs for the prevention of iodine deficiency diseases.

Introduction. Scientific understanding of current and future trends in the development of society, the formulation of problems of social development, and even more so its prediction is associated with the analysis of the role and place of modern and promising communication technologies in the complex architecture of social interactions. Today, such technologies determine the direction of restructuring traditional political and economic institutions contribute to the formation of fundamentally new formats of social interactions. The beginning of the 21st century was marked by a wide spread of sharing relations – old socio-economic practices of joint (shared) use of goods in a new technical and technological design. The driver of the development of joint consumption practices has also been the spread of global trends in the transition from a system of strong fundamental links between socioeconomic entities to weaker but numerous temporary links. Methods and materials. In the course of the study, the sharing economy was considered through the prism of structural-functional, neoinstitutional and network approaches. The authors used system analysis, interdisciplinary and empirical methods (questionnaire, expert survey), as well as the method of social modeling. The materials for the study were the publications of leading foreign and domestic researchers of the issue in peer-reviewed scientific publications, as well as the results of a cross-regional sociological study conducted by the authors. Analysis. Currently, an institutional formation of a new ontological reality within which self-regulating, more autonomous from the state, sharing communities built on the network principle function is taking place. Through the liberalization of access to a wide range of benefits through low-cost channels, sharing contributes to the growth of trust, social well-being, and reduction of social tension. At the same time, the uncontrolled spread of sharing practices is fraught with a drop in the level of institutional and interpersonal trust, an increase in conflict in society, and the deformation of regional and sectoral labor markets, which will naturally affect social well-being and political stability. Results. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis of the study that the practices of joint consumption in Russia have a pronounced development potential and a growing influence on the political sphere through the growth of political activity of the population participating in these practices, through the actualization of microsocial contracts and the subsequent translation of their content to the macro level.
