The article attempts to reveal the main peculiarities of the development of the social and economic sphere of the USSR in 1920-1930, as the most difficult period of development of Soviet statehood, the period of creation of a powerful administrative-command system of administration. The political leadership of the USSR considered that all phenomena in the economic life of the country should have been under the tight control and leadership of the ruling Communist Party. The system of counteracting various abuses in the economy was closely interconnected and mutually agreed with the economic policy of the State. In the second half of the 1920s, the party leadership set a task for the country: to achieve significant economic growth, the basis of which was to be the reconstruction of the national economy. The economy itself, the bulk of it, was to become «on socialist rails.» This, in turn, meant a strong expansion of the public sector by displacing other sectors of the economy, primarily private sectors. Control of the ruling party of the Communist Party (b) of the socio-economic life of the country became absolute. The results presented in the article can be used by the state authorities as both positive and negative experience in the development of the two leading spheres of public life of the Soviet State.

Al ser el Derecho una ciencia interdisciplinar, que ha requerido para su desarrollo el abordaje de otras disciplinas no solo en temas conceptuales, sino además en procedimientos y técnicas, instrumentalizado otros campos del conocimiento y se valió de ellos para garantizar la armonía en la convivencia entre ciudadanos, y para regular las relaciones entre ciudadanos y Estado, entendido como el conjunto de población, territorio y soberanía (poder). El Estado, en aras de lograr una organización que garantice la primacía de los intereses generales, así como sus fines, ha implementado un modelo de Administración encaminado al funcionamiento correcto y no excluyente de la función pública. La administración ha sido entendida como aquella ciencia social que tiene por objeto; planear la distribución de los recursos, dirigir su organización y ejercer el control sobre estos. Así las cosas, si bien en el marco de la función pública, se cuenta con los recursos mismos de la administración, debe sumársele a ello, que la administración pública, también comprende administración de funciones, pues lo que compone el ejercicio del Estado en su estructuración, es la distribución de estas para el cumplimiento de los deberes constitucionales. En este sentido, se indaga, por cuál es el significado, en primer lugar restringido del concepto de Administración como ciencia propia, para luego conocer el término compuesto de administración pública, pues tal calificativo cambia el contexto, variando además las calidades de quienes ejecutan dicha ciencia, esto es, los administradores.Given the fact that law is an interdisciplinary science, requiring for its development the study of other disciplines – not only in conceptual issues but in its procedures and techniques- it has made use of different fields of knowledge to guarantee the harmony in the coexistence among citizens and to regulate the relations between the citizens and the State, understood as the unit formed by population, territory and sovereignty (power). The State, with the purpose of achieving an organization that guarantees the primacy of general interest, as well as its purposes, has implemented a model of administration towards the correct functioning, not excluding the public function. The administration has been understood as the social science aiming at planning the resources, managing the organization and controlling them. Hence, even if in the frame of the public function there are the resources of the same administration, it should also be considered that the public administration comprises the administration of functions, as what constitutes the exercise of the State in its structures is the distribution of those functions for the achievement of the constitutional duties. In this sense, the paper asks about the meaning, in the first place restricted to the concept of Administration as a science, to then get to know the composed term Public Administration, as this qualification changes the context, varying also the qualities of those who exercise that science, which are the administrators.

The article focuses on the need to consider classical medieval texts not only as sources of historical information, but also as author's works subject to a certain methodology and using a variety of historiographical technologies and ideological schemes. The specific subject of the study is the two main sources on the history of the Eastern and Western Khitans (“Khitan Guo Chi” / “History of the Khitan state” and “Liao Shi” / “History of the [dynasty] Liao”), who created the largest state structures in the pre-Mongol period. “Khian Guo Zhi” is more of a history of the Khitan ethnos, whereas “Liao Shi” is a history of the dynasty, i.e., of the state construction. As a result, we have the maximum possible penetration in those days into the two most important topics-the people as a geopolitical actor and the state as a civilizational-state structure. Their authors carried out impressive synthetic work to prove certain postulates. These are, strictly speaking, not scientific approaches, but ideological, existing, moreover, often in the form of Philistine fabrications. These sources raise a particularly significant problem of the origin of the Khitan, their dynasty, civilizational affiliation of the Khitan, the Khitan determination of the place in a nomadic world, the specifics of socio-economic and social system of the state of Liao, Khitan influence on the social development of the far East and East Asian regions. In them, the Chinese civilizational paradigm was applied to the fullest extent possible, the essential worldview settings of classical Chinese historiography are traced: Sino-centrism, sedentary centrism, Han-fan dichotomies and culture – nature. As a result, these works had a significant impact on the development of the two most common approaches to studying the history of Khitan, which are considered as classical barbarians who constantly attacked China and for this purpose created their own quasi-state, but under the influence of Chinese civilization “grew” to the level of the traditional dynasty.

Administrative influence is everything that the executive and the administrative bodies of the other powers exert on their own activities, aiming to keep them within the law, according to the needs of the service and the technical requirements of its realization, so it is a control of legality, convenience and efficiency. The methodology used proposes that, in order to add the proposed objective of analyzing and describing basic principles of public administration in Brazil; under these three aspects, administrative control can and must be operated, so that public activity achieves its purpose efficiently, which is the complete fulfillment of collective interests by the administration in general.

By examining issues concerning the role and nature of the state together with the character of public bureaucracy, this article shows that, as a practical activity, public administration retains a distinct identity. Notwithstanding the many changes that have taken place in the public sector during recent years, programmes of study in the subject still have much to offer. Such programmes should reassert their place within the social sciences. Their virtues should be proclaimed with confidence, while resisting misplaced calls for more narrowly focused vocationalism.

Problem setting. In the context of modern transformation processes, the modernization of the public administration system becomes important, in particular in the application of qualitatively new strategic approaches, mechanisms and tools in the social sphere. The current priority of public policy implementation at both the national and regional (local) levels is to meet the social needs of the most vulnerable and socially vulnerable categories of citizens. Current trends in public administration practices in developed countries indicate the need for effective intersectoral partnership in the system of public management of the social sphere, which provides for effective participation in this process, both relevant government institutions and civil society actors.Recent research and publications analysis. Problems of public management of the social sphere, public administration influence on social processes are characterized by considerable attention among both foreign and Ukrainian researchers. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problems. Despite significant scientific interest, the issues of substantiation of the role of decentralization in the formation of the principles of qualitative renewal of the content of the public administration system in the social sphere, the influence of state institutions on social processes, identification of trends and main directions of decentralization on the formation of strategy and modernization of public administration social sphere, etc.Paper main body. Based on the fact that the state level is of decisive and integrated importance in the implementation of the social function, the social responsibility is borne primarily by the state through the system of legislative and executive bodies. In view of this, it is the state that has the power to establish fair and transparent rules for the activities of various actors, including civil institutions, through the functioning of an effective system of control that would ensure their implementation.Researchers and experts point out the inconsistency of the current state policy of social development in Ukraine neither with the challenges formed under the influence of globalization processes and national conditions, nor with European standards for the introduction of this area of public administration.The system of social services provided by the current legislation is largely inconsistent with the current system of budget funding, which is mostly based on a formal approach that does not take into account the real need for material security of vulnerable groups and the real cost of benefits and services.Among the areas set out in the draft of the new National Strategy for Civil Society Development in Ukraine for 2021-2026, emphasis is placed on improving approaches to state support for civil society organizations and strengthening cooperation between them and the executive branch. In particular, one of the main tasks of the Strategy is to expand the mechanisms of support of civil society organizations by the state, as well as to increase the order of services from such organizations.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Processes of modernization of public administration in the social sphere should include the following key areas: regulatory (provides for the completeness and integrity of regulatory standards for the implementation of sectoral / functional policies and guarantees of social rights); organizational and institutional (consists in improving the institutional support of public management of the social sphere); functional-instrumental (provides for ensuring the integrity of the organizational-functional structure; effective coordination of the functioning of institutions); financial and economic (is to optimize the financial mechanisms for the implementation of tasks of social development and functioning of the social sphere); infrastructural (provides for the modernization of the social services system through the state's demonopolization of the social services market); resource (provides for the development and integration of different types of resource provision).

The purpose of the article is to consider the history of the public administration system development in Russia via various aspects and features. The analysis and accounting of Russian historical expe-rience in building the integral system of state incentives in the context of the management vertical formation is very relevant today. The article presents the author's approach to the state incentives consideration in the context of the state awards institution, taking into account legal and technical regulation of this process in various regulatory legal acts. The purpose of the article is to consider the genesis of the state awards institution and its formalization in regulatory legal acts in the context of public administration functioning. The subject of the study is the Russian state awards system and the system of normative acts regulating the award mechanism, both considered in historical retro-spect. The authors summarize that the institute of state incentives as a mechanism of public admin-istration is in permanent development and, today, it is designed for stimulating state-significant activi-ties in various fields, and the award mechanism, having passed a long evolutionary period, is cur-rently regulated by a number of specialized regulatory legal acts of the federal and regional levels.

This article considers palace coups as one of the key phenomena of Russian political culture, which intertwined traditions and innovations, accidents and patterns, personal and corporate interests, prudence and adventurism. It analyzes methods and mechanisms by which the Russian autocrats of the late 17th – 18th centuries ascended to the throne. The ways of ascension to the throne were different, but they had one thing in common – compliance with clear rules of succession was very far from ideal, which was significantly different from most European monarchies. In monarchies where inheritance was legally fixed by the principle of primogeniture, it was much more difficult to carry out palace coups. There was no such mandatory legal norm for the Romanov dynasty. Palace coups in Russia did not lead to changes in the social and economic sphere or in the mechanisms of functioning of the state, with the exception of the political careers of individual dignitaries. The last palace revolution in the history of Russia took place in 1801 and symbolically completed the 18th century for it. Most of the changes on the Russian throne during the 18th century took place in the form of a “palace coup” with the participation of representatives of the dynasty and, as a rule, the highest dignitaries. Such methods of changing rulers reflected a certain instability of the supreme power, disputes about the ways of modernizing the country, the consequences of Peter the Great’s reforms and, in fact, intra-dynastic contradictions.

Students of the history of Greek procedure generally hold that public administration of justice originated in a prehistoric habit of settling disputes between individuals by voluntary waiving self-help and resorting to arbitration. This ancient custom is supposed to have been gradually developed into a system under which the parties were denied the right to seek realization of their claims by private force and compelled to submit their cases to authorities designated and empowered to try the claims and hand down binding judgments. Litigants are believed to have been forced by an ever increasing pressure of public opinion, as well as by the growing power of the rulers, to refrain from armed feud and blood-vengeance, and to seek the decision of the princes who by virtue of their social and personal preponderance were predestined to act as arbitrators. After the consolidation of the state, their jurisdiction, according to the prevailing theory, became a legal institution and passed, after the abolishment of the early monarchy, to the aristocratic city magistrates, and later, in the democracies, to the popular courts. As an intermediate stage, the existence of a system of ‘obligatory arbitration’, indirectly enforced by the public disapproval of those not complying with it, has been suggested for the type of society known from Hesiod'sWorks and Days.

In her analysis of books by Maya Kucherskaya, Olesya Nikolaeva, and Yulia Voznesenskaya, the author investigates the history of female Christian prose from the 1990s until the present day. According to the author, it was in the 1990s, the period of crisis and transformation of the social system, that female Christian writers were more vocal, than today, on the issues of the new post-Soviet female subjectivity, drawing on folklore imagery and contrasting the folk, pagan philosophy with the Christian one, defined by an established set of rules and limitations for the principal female roles. Thus, the folklore elements in Kucherskaya’s early works are considered as an attempt to represent female subjectivity. However, the author argues that, in their current work, Kucherskaya and other representatives of the so-called female Christian prose tend to choose different, objectivizing methods to represent female characters. This new and conservative approach may have come from a wider social context, including the state-imposed ‘family values’ program.
