The decades that have passed since the collapse of the USSR have identified serious challenges for Russia, the answer to which depends on the prospect of maintaining its leadership position in the integration processes in the modern post-Soviet space, not only due to objective advantages in the possession of resources, but also due to its attractiveness for the younger generation of the post-Soviet countries. The article makes an attempt of a sociological assessment of the perception of modern Russian humanitarian projects by young people in post-Soviet countries, their willingness to join the international educational projects proposed by Russia and build a trajectory of professional development, taking into account the opportunities available in Russia. The authors draw attention to the need for regular monitoring of the perception of Russia by the youth of the post-Soviet countries in order to adapt the proposed programs of international cooperation to the needs of the target audience, and also offer a methodology for its construction.

The authors of the paper analyze the main directions of the consolidation of modern Russian society, as well as the problems that hinder the implementation of this process. The main factors explaining the fea-tures of the processes of consolidation of Russian society in the XXI century are considered. The col-lapse of the USSR, the resulting crises, the specifics of socio-political processes in the post-Soviet space, the formation of a national idea to a large extent affect the level of cohesion of the country's citizens. It is concluded that for the effective imple-mentation of the process of consolidation of society in modern Russia, it is necessary to overcome a number of problems. In this regard, it is of supreme importance to eliminate socio-economic inequality, corruption in all spheres of life, and optimize the activities of government bodies. The authors em-phasize that the consolidation of modern Russian society is the most important task of the ongoing national policy and requires targeted efforts on the part of both the state and civil society. The im-portance of further sociological studies of the con-solidation processes of Russian society is noted.

This article explores how senses of belonging, place, and mobility are linked to each other in the context of rapid socio-political change and human mobility. Using the sociological concept of place-belongingness, the article examines narratives of belonging among young people from Crimea who moved to Moscow to pursue higher education in the two years following Russia’s 2014 annexation of the peninsula. Drawing on 38 biographical interviews conducted in Moscow with young people from Crimea, the article demonstrates how ‘movements of borders across people’ (to build on Rogers Brubaker’s expression) result in a non-binary construction of belonging across places, based on the access an individual has to constellations of resources different places offer. The analysis shows that narratives of belonging among young people from Crimea revolve around resource categories that include economic resources, emotional resources, resources that reconcile multiple identities, and ontological security resources. This study moves beyond analysis of identities as linked to nation-building in the post-Soviet space, focusing on categories of ‘place’ emerging from the perspectives of study participants.

The article analyzes both the phenomena of innovative perception of reality by a modern leader, his innovative thinking, and the challenges that determine their relevance. The main tasks set before the head of the educational institution of the realities of the post-Soviet space are considered from the standpoint of social, educational, cultural in the context of the transition to market forms of management. The aim of the article is to reveal the modern requirements for the professional skills of the head of an educational institution (in particular, sports), as a person with innovative thinking, able to find the optimal balance between collective and individual. It is noted that the correct training of managerial staff in pedagogy means as its end product of individually strong children who are able to work productively in teams, rather than the gray mass. Therefore, the head of the educational institution (and sports education institution – in the first place) must be able to separate individual and collective interests, balance them, choosing an effective strategy for educating young people as members of a new society, its vanguard and democratic social views.

The choice of the audience and content of Russia's humanitarian message calls into question the effectiveness of domestic humanitarian policy in the post-Soviet space. In domestic strategic planning documents, the target audience is the ruling elites of the post-Soviet states, compatriots, and the "Russian world". The choice of the elite as the addressee leads to the fact that Russia's humanitarian policy forms the dependence of interstate relations on maintaining the positions of the ruling elite, which forces us to sacrifice resources and, possibly, reputation to hold the status of a politician declaring a "pro-Russian" position. The appeal to compatriots, in turn, problematizes inter-elite interaction, arousing the concern of the post-Soviet elites, whose efforts to build nations and assert their legitimacy on a nationalist basis. The target audience's choice is reflected in the content of the humanitarian message, which seems situational and internally contradictory due to the specifics of the addressees. Overcoming these contradictions, according to the author, is only possible if the choice of the final addressees and the humanitarian message's content is revised, which requires a clear definition of the goals, forms, and methods of Russia's humanitarian policy in the post-Soviet space.

The paper applies a new dataset of the System of Indicators of Eurasian Integration to evaluate the changes of level and direction of economic interaction of the post-Soviet states in the last decade. It analyzes the integration dynamics in the area of trade and migration as well as on three functional markets of agricultural goods, electricity and educational services. The paper concludes that the level of trade integration on the post-Soviet space continues declining, while there is a rapid increase of the labor market integration. Three largest countries of the Eurasian Economic Community - Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan - demonstrate positive integration dynamics, but small countries maintain the leading position in the area of post-Soviet integration.

The article analyzes the influence of the concepts of the Intermarium and the Baltic-Black Sea Arc on the formation of Ukraine’s foreign policy in 1990 – early 2000. The use of these concepts in American, European and Ukrainian geopolitical thought, which historically included the idea of opposing Russian influence in the region, contributed to the increase in tension and was aimed at further disintegration of the Western flank of the post-Soviet space. The article proves that the design of the Euro-Atlantic vector of Ukraine’s foreign policy was already active under the first two Ukrainian presidents – Leonid Kravchuk (1991–1994) and Leonid Kuchma (1994–2005). One of the concrete attempts to implement the idea of forming a common political, economic, transport and logistics space of the Black Sea-Caspian region with a promising expansion of the cooperation zone to the whole of Eastern Europe and the Eastern Baltic during the presidency of Leonid Kuchma was the foundation and launch of a new regional organization, Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, better known as GUAM (composed by the initial letters of names of member states – Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova; when Uzbekistan was also a member of Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the name of the organization was GUUAM), which is an alternative to Eurasian projects with the participation of Russia.
