Legal Forms

The article describes the conceptual basis for a new special research theory — extrajudicial forms of protecting rights and freedoms of a person in the field of criminal law relations. The authors introduce the concept of these forms and their system consisting of legal and non-legal forms of such protection. It is concluded that the reaction of the state to the implementation of legal extrajudicial forms of protecting rights and freedoms of a person in the field of criminal law relations should be improved with the purpose of ensuring greater justice when making decisions on criminal prosecution for the self-defense of the legal status of a person in the analyzed sphere of relations. The authors offer a number of suggestions on changes and amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation that would improve the effectiveness of this reaction. On the other hand, non-legal forms of self-defense in the field of criminal law relations should be prevented. The authors present a list of factors determining the existence of these forms in the Russian society, some of which, due to certain circumstances both in the past and present period of the deve­lopment of Russian state and society, have an «excusable» character. These factors include both global (the spread of various discrimination practices, ideas of extremism and religious radicalism; the escalation of violence) and national factors (historical predetermination of state and public development; features of cultural development of the Russian society; specifics of the implementation of state policy and public administration activities; drawbacks of criminal law regulation of social processes and law enforcement activities; destructive practices of social relations; moral and psychological state of the society; influence of propaganda; defective educational and pedagogical influences, etc.). The authors also present a system of preventive measures aimed at eradicating non-legal forms of the analyzed extrajudicial protection. This system includes measures of developing a state reaction to crimes that would correspond to social expectations, ensuring a greater strictness of criminal law, unavoidability of prosecution, as well as measures of moral rehabilitation of the Russian society, raising the level of its legal conscience and culture. The authors suggest the introduction of a norm that establishes criminal liability for usurping the power of the court connected with the administration of justice.

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.

Main Component

The presented paper dwells upon the analysis of the methodological basis of modern approaches to the assessment of legal culture in Russian society, in particular the principles of understanding sociology and frame analysis. According to the author, the theory of social representations, P. Bourdieu’s con-cept of habitus, as well as the specificity of the theo-ry of frames, allow one to analyze each situation as a specific interactive reality that disappears as soon as a specific interaction is exhausted. Exploring the situation of interaction as a legal frame, the author defined the identification of the characteristics of the agents' real understanding of the interaction situation as the main task. The work notes that the presence of collective ideas about the value of law as a fundamental regulator of social ties, fixed at the subconscious level, can be considered as one of the main factors influencing the effectiveness of legal mechanisms among actors. On the basis of the analysis, the author notes that the main component of legal culture is the level of the subject’s aware-ness of legal values as a self-sufficient rational sys-tem of social regulation. Its functioning is carried out on the basis of formalized criteria and norms, a characteristic feature of which is their significance for all individuals, regardless of their social status.

Critical Overview

The subject of this article is the attempts of the Russian researchers to interpret the destructive processes in modern Russian society through the prism of development of archaization theory. Due to the lack of semantic definiteness, the concept of social archaization is often attributed to similar ones, such as “traditionalism”, “barbarization”, “patriarchalization”, “New Middle Ages", etc. The diversity of existing approaches substantiates the need to determine a certain theoretical core, which would become the foundation for further hypotheses. Special attention is given to problem of absence of a unified approach towards the definition of archaizing processes, as well as to the need for clarification and further functionality of the concept of social archaization. The novelty of this research consists in the critical overview and determination of flaws in the existing concepts of social archaization. It is demonstrated that the relevant findings of the Russian researchers do not always explain the origin of destructive processes in the Russian society. The effective practical solution to complications related to the phenomenon of social destruction is yet to be developed. The author proposes an alternative approach towards determination of the causes of archaization of the Russian society at the current stage; outlines the promising ways of reflection on archaizing trends; as well as formulates a refined definition of archaization of the modern society. The acquired results aim to lay theoretical foundation for further development and implementation of measures on overcoming destructive consequences of social archaicism.

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is determined by the subject of analysis “national consciousness”, which is a structure that unites the Russian nation as an ethno-national-state entity. The destiny of Russian statehood, ability to withstand global challenges and threats, as well as the internal direction of development of Russian society largely depend on its stability. After all, as practice shows, excessive absolutization of ethnic identity leads to destructive processes up to the collapse of the country. The main goal of the work is to analyze the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation of national consciousness in a technological context. Materials and methods. To implement the research strategy, structural analysis, system and analytical methods, functional and axiological approaches, etc. were used. Results. Research problems are related to the specifics of social technologies for the formation of national consciousness, which can be applied in Russian reality. As the technologies that form the national consciousness of the Russian civil nation, the article points out state-administrative ones based on the program-target approach and using technologies of directed socialization and the mechanism of “point secularization of consciousness”. In particular, this is the federal target program “Strengthening the Unity of the Russian Nation and the Ethno-Cultural Development of the Peoples of Russia (2014–2020)”, the state program “Patriotic Education of Citizens of the Russian Federation for 2016–2020”, etc. As the “soft technologies”, first of all, communication technologies are considered, such as PR, branding, propaganda. Discussion and Conclusion. The theoretical and methodological research conducted has shown that communication technologies are not paid enough attention, although they are able to effectively influence public opinion and introduce new values, ideals, attitudes into the mass consciousness. At the same time, the effectiveness of the implementation of any technology is largely due to the degree of partnership between the state and civil society. The formation of the Russian civil nation can not be only politically initiated and governed and directed by the state – it is primarily a natural historical process.

The article updates the issue of the prevalence of vicious punishment of harm-doers in Russian society, since the presence of this ancient practice at this point of community development indicates destructive processes in it. The following socio-psychological determinants of this phenomenon are designed and highlighted: the growth of social aggressiveness, feelings of hatred or enmity, defects in legal psychology caused by the development of legal nihilism, disappointment in the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies against the backdrop of a high level of crime in the country, rejection of the humanism of domestic criminal policy, mindset and the criminalization of Russian society, the formation of addiction to revenge and lynching, cultivated by the media. The catalyst for lynching harm inflicted primarily by affect, frustration, stress and resentment caused by a crime or other offence, which nullify the restraining imperatives of behaviour. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop appropriate measures that are proposed in the work to eliminate this negative phenomenon in Russian society.

Main Factors

The article analyses the activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts, activities that form a major component of the national security system of the Russian Federation against extremist, including terrorist, threats. The article examines the features and the degree of influence of the main factors on the activities of state structures, religious organisations, public associations for the prevention and suppression of interethnic conflicts. The survey of twenty experts who are highly qualified specialists in the field of countering ethno-extremism conducted by the author using the methods of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, as well as the results of mass sociological studies and analysis of scientific works and media publications on the topic of the research allowed to determine the degree of influence of the main factors on the ethno-conflict sphere. It was revealed as a result of the research, that the Russian Orthodox Church, traditional Muslim organisations and public law enforcement organisations, primarily Cossack organisations and voluntary people's guards, have the most positive influence on activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts. The factor of "spreading the ideology of the" Russian world "" in the context of aggravated relations with Western countries has practically no effect on anti-conflict activities in the ethno-national sphere. Attempts to support foreign followers of the Russian patriotic project evoke nothing more but Russophobic reaction from the political elites in a number of foreign states. Such factors as “deficiencies in educational and upbringing activities”, as well as “pandemic”, have a negative impact on the activities aimed at preventing and suppressing ethnic conflicts in Russia. The worst influence on the prevention and suppression of ethnic conflicts, according to the experts interviewed, have “activities of elites in national formations”, “migration policy”, as well as “development of Internet communications and social networks”. The author proves that taking into account the peculiarities and degree of influence of the main factors on activities to prevent and suppress ethnic conflicts will not only allow the authorities to ensure the protection of the Russian society from ethno-national threats but also to more effectively solve important tasks of strengthening the all-Russian self-awareness and spiritual community of the Russian nation, harmonising ethno-national relations and state-civil consolidation in the Russian Federation.

Social Management

This article considers the problem of the social from the perspective of human functioning in the context of developing self-organization and self-government in the society. The formation of the civil society in transforming Russia has been delayed largely due to the lack of developed subjectivity at both the individual and municipal levels. The weakness of civil initiatives reveals the reasons for the lack of demand for self-order, self-organization, and self-government in particular. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of the human being as a social unit in the processes of self-organization and self-government of transforming Russia. The author identifies three interpenetrating and complementary levels of existence in the system of social management, in accordance with their importance. These three levels are distinct in personifications and the maturity of the individual-personal, and they include the level of individual personality, the level of objective social communities, and the society-wide level. The results show that the institution of self-government is generated by social communications. Its social multi-factor nature is constantly influenced by both the society and the individual, as well as by objective factors of a non-anthropogenic nature. The author suggests using a social-synergetic approach for this problem. This approach to the study of social processes allows us to apply the methods of exact and natural sciences in addition to sociological and philosophical concepts and technologies, which results in a more detailed picture of social development. This article focuses on the local territorial community, which is a key link in social processes. The social as a whole is a universal reality that reveals the meaning of the unit of the society as an ultimate universal that personifies the activity of a certain type or group of public relations. The author concludes that the social unit in the processes of self-organization and self-government in Russian society is a person who represents the society in all the diversity of its hierarchy and social communications. According to the author, the positive experience of previous eras remains outside of management efforts. The asymmetry of development reproduces social contradictions in the fundamental spheres of life.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью снижения конфликтов в высшей школе. Проведенный анализ источников позволил выделить основные факторы конфликтогенности, к которым относятся: социально-политические потрясения российского общества конца прошлого века, слом всех устоявшихся систем социума, многочисленные реформы образования, выросшие нагрузки аудиторной и научно-исследовательской работы, эмоциональное выгорание преподавателей. Констатируется поляризация ценностно-смысловых ориентиров участников образовательного процесса, коммерциализация образования, увеличивающееся социальное расслоение, тенденция к нарастанию элитизации высшего образования. Ригидность профессионального поведения преподавателей в усложняющихся условиях технологической динамичности, слабая мотивация студентов к учебной деятельности, низкий уровень их общего развития, социальная инфантильность также выявлены в числе основных факторов конфликтогенности. Автором предложены следующие меры снижения конфликтогенности: необходимость повышения социального статуса преподавателя, снижение возложенных на него обязанностей, введение специальной должности педагога-психолога вуза или медиатора конфликтов, создание консультационного центра для первокурсников, обучение основам ортобиотики, а также усиление воспитательной работы среди студентов. Показана необходимость внедрения мер по предупреждению роста конфликтогенности в вузах. Статья предназначена для работников высшего образования, исследователей. The relevance of the article is caused by the need to reduce conflicts in higher education. The analysis of the sources made it possible to single out the main factors of conflict potential, which include: the socio-political upheavals of Russian society at the end of the last century, the breakdown of all established systems of society, numerous educational reforms, increased loads of classroom and research work, emotional burnout of teachers. The polarization of the value-semantic guidelines of the participants in the educational process, the commercialization of education, the increasing social stratification, the tendency towards an increase in the elitization of higher education are stated. The rigidity of the professional behavior of teachers in the increasingly complex conditions of technological dynamism, poor motivation of students for learning activities, low level of their general development, social infantilism are also named among the main factors of conflict potential.The conditions for reducing conflict potential were identified: the need to increase the social status of a teacher, reduce the responsibilities assigned to him, introduce a special position as a teacher-psychologist of a university or mediator of conflicts, create a consulting center for freshmen, teach the basics of orthobiotics, and strengthen educational work among students. The necessity of introducing measures to prevent the growth of conflict potential in universities is shown. The article is intended for higher education workers, researchers.

The article deals with sociological understanding of the value system of Russian young people and its role in ensuring spiritual and moral safety of the society. The authors of the article focus on priority importance of spirituality, morality for preservation of specifically human features in the individual and normal functioning of the society. The regulating function of the value-based system is manifested in the fact that values form the standards of cultural assessments in the youth community, determine the hierarchy of young people’s life goals and the choice of methods for achieving them. Any social changes may have both positive and negative character, in exactly the same way values acting as a catalyst for changing the consciousness of young people may become not only an accelerating factor of social transformations, but also a retarding one. Basing on the results of the analysis of the most important spiritual and moral values of young people, the authors of the article conclude that reappraisal of values is a complex and difficult process, and on the whole it is indicative of a low level of spiritual and moral safety. This is due to the fact that in the mass consciousness of Russian young people there take place processes of rethinking the facts of modern life, new changes, collapse of former ideals and orientations, and the search for new value orientations. The transitional period crisis, which has lasted for many years in the Russian society, and the destructive processes in all its spheres are the main reason why the problem of ensuring spiritual and moral safety in the context of the formation of moral capacities in young generations of Russians has long been urgent in our society.
