The Republic

The article reveals some results of a sociological study on the features of religious identity of spouses and social practices of children's inclusion in interethnic families (on the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan). This topic is most relevant for multi-ethnic regions, where interfaith marriages are quite common, despite the presence of isolationist attitudes among a part of the population. Marriages between representatives of various religious movements lead to the formation of a special cross-cultural environment of interaction, which requires the spouses to make many decisions, including on the confessional affiliation of children, on the choice of mechanisms for the formation of religious identity. Based on the author's research, the article analyses the state of religious identity of a resident of a multi-ethnic region in a dynamic aspect. Special attention is paid to spouses who are in an interethnic marriage. The author studies variants of religious communications, among which the dominant one is the co-existence of religions in variations from "common / unified religion" to "equality". Most of the families studied are classified as egalitarian and democratic in terms of their power structure and upbringing model. The article provides data on the state of religious identity of children raised in multi-ethnic families. The authors call traditional, psychological and educational motives for introducing children to religion the predominant ones. Based on the presented material, the authors come to the conclusion that there are two most common models of introducing children to religion in interethnic families: passive (indirect) and active religious socialization. The first model is the most popular among residents of large cities, while traditional families choose the second one.

Currently, in both Russia and the world, the globalization is extending. The worldwide information field is in the process of formation, and many developed communities are going through blurring. At the same time, the new reasons for people to unite into the groups are arriving, and new communities tend to appear. The dynamic development of such term as identity had created numerous approaches and ways to define it, based on social, cultural and psychological peculiarities. The situation is common, in which the individuals that exist in the same social environment own many different identities, forming their bonds according to their needs. The problem of identity in Russia in particular is nevertheless acute, remaining open to discussion. The regions of the Russian Federation are more diverse due to the natural and territorial differences, as much as historical and social ones. Thus, Siberia and Far East are much more different than the European part of Russia in terms of social, ethnical and cultural aspects, therefore, the self-presentation of people also tends to differ. The goal of this research is to find the dominating identity among the student youth of Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, to estimate the correlations in different types of identity, to shape the whole picture of self-identification among school and university students. The mass sociological study provides the objective and precise data on value-based cultural orientation inside the community under study, and to collect massive data for further analysis. The results of this research are to help and define the local specifics regarding social-political self-identification.

The twenty-first century is witnessing certain key developments on the energy scene. Even as the centre of gravity of global energy markets is shifting rapidly and resolutely to the Asian continent. Russia is emerging as a formidable petro-state. There is a natural synergy between resource-rich Russia and the energy-thirsty economies of China and India. Geographically, the three together constitute a massive and contiguous land mass, home to a third of the global population and rich in natural as well as human resources. This fortuitous configuration opens up possibilities for forging a new regional identity, based on shared interests and mutually beneficial cooperation. Energy cooperation leads the list of such possibilities. This paper identifies potential areas of energy cooperation among the three countries of the region, namely, Russia, China and India, and in doing so, adopts an approach that goes beyond the conventional, to examine prospects that are at once specific, immediate and feasible.

Significant Interference

The paper interprets selected genre of diverse texts that belong to Croatian children′s literature connected by the theme of indigeneity. The concept of indigeneity, characterized by linguistic-stylistic features, prominent emotionality and desire for the awareness of indigenous identity (language, landscape, customs, history) could be read to children recipients from children′s poetry, picture books, topologically diverse stories and tales. Literary theory and culture analysis have identified the importance of native and regional identity based on knowing and promoting native values and patriotism. Motive-related, linguistic, compositional and stylistic differences have been noticed in selected writings, all based on the genre specifics. In their literary texts authors mostly use autobiographical discourse of their own childhood and life experience connected to their homeland. Besides the narrative realism resulting from the projection of one's own childhood, a significant interference of the elements of fairy-tales, as well as the need of mythical vision of the homeland have been noticed. Indigenous themes are usually realized through spatial topophilia: from emotional description of rural and urban localities, through historical digressions, to the narration about important persons whose life and work have become recognizable parts of the homeland identity and cultural heritage of a particular region. Linguistically, some of the literary texts are written in standard language, while others use dialects, regional and local speech as a means of determining the affiliation with a particular region and promoting the preservation of native dialectological values.

The paper aims to explore the interconnections between social identities (ethnic, national, regional and religious) and conflict intentions in Tajikistan. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of identity-based conflicts, the paper emphasizes the importance of an early warning system that centers on social identity and shows what impact such factors as national identity building, religious identity revival, and regional identity reinforcement have on processes of conflict prevention, resolution, and reconciliation. Through the examination of the components of the model, including such factors as intergroup prejudice, outgroup threat, identity salience, ingroup primacy, forms of social identity, and modes of identity meaning, the author shows the main threats to peaceful co-existence in Tajikistan.

Since January 2017 the Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian brigade (LITPOLUKRBRIG) is fully operational to influence and shape not only regional security but also international peace out of Europe. Its development potential can contribute to support Ukraine in its current military reform as well as in an accession process to NATO. It can positively impact military competencies, capabilities, and capacities of all founding nations and contribute to a stronger regional identity based on common values, interests, experiences and threats perceptions either. Now is the time for the founding nations to decide whether to keep a status quo of the brigade or to further build its “trademark” upon its strengths and competencies. If they choose the second option, the Brigade has to become more visible and active in the security sphere which leads to the necessity to demonstrate its effectiveness and utility in practice. The purpose of this article is to answer the questions: where is the development potential of the Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian Brigade and how it can be used in the context of strengthening both tripartite cooperation and security in the region. In the introduction, the author collides different perspectives on the future of LITPOLUKRBRIG. In the first part, he argues that the brigade can help Ukraine to join the Euro-Atlantic family. In the second part, he justifies that the brigade can have a positive impact on military capabilities development and the interoperability of the armed forces of all founding states. In the third part, he justifies that the brigade has the potential to shape regional security. In the fourth part, he argues that LITPOLUKRBRIG can contribute to building a stronger regional identity and tripartite cooperation based on common values, interests, experiences and common threat’s perception.
