The presented paper is of a theoretical character. It includes a reflection on the mechanisms behind the rebirth of totalitarianism, using contemporary Russia as a case study. The research period taken as exemplification for the theoretical part comprises years 2000–2020 and was chosen for three reasons, mutually interconnected. The first among them is the election of Vladimir Putin, regarded as a strong symbolical representation of centralized state power, as the president of Russian Federation. Secondly, the consolidation of power in the hands of one man who had the tools to control and affect the political system. Thirdly, the modification of the Russian Federation Constitution to favor the durability of Putin’s government. The presented results point to the mechanisms behind the activation of totalitarian tendencies in Russian culture in the light of long-lasting cultural paradigms: collectivism and con-centrism.

The relevance of this topic is due to the need to realize the maximum potential of Russian higher education as an instrument of “soft power”. The purpose of this article is to analyze the problems that accompany the solution of the main task — the political socialization of international students studying in the Russian Federation. The article covers three main aspects. The first is the absence of a minimum level of knowledge of the host country for high-quality political socialization of international students; the second is the lack of full-fledged motivation for real, not formal socialization, the third is the lack of the same motivation for the effective and meaningful implementation of a set of profile measures among the employees of the receiving side. The lack of resolution of the above three problems makes it impossible and meaningless to work to achieve the main goal — the political socialization of international students studying in the Russian Federation. The main reason for the urgency of the first problem is the orientation of higher education of foreign students in the Russian Federation to maximize profits to the detriment of its other goals, the second is the cultural code of the majority of international students, and the third is systemic management ‘failures’ in Russia itself. At the same time, the unresolvedness of these problems significantly complicates the work with one of the most promising categories of international students — immigrants from the countries of the Greater Middle East, Africa, South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.

In the early 1990 s, the foreign policy concept in Russia was based on the policy of «Euro-Atlanticism», which presumed orientation towards the Western model of development, integration with the Western countries and a conflict-free vision of international relations. But unlike the era of «Cold War» with the USSR, the Western countries did not consider the Russian Federation to be equal in status and did not hasten the process of establishing strategic partnership. Russia has never managed to establish an alliance with the Western countries and become «part of the Western world», «Euro-Atlanticism» has not proved itself. In the late 1990s, a shift began to a course of «multi-vector» foreign policy, implying a multipolar system of international relations. Moreover, at the end of the twentieth century, the Russian Federation faced growing threats from the United States and the countries that make up the military-political bloc of NATO, which necessitated a rethinking of priorities and possibilities for ensuring the protection of Russia’s national interests and security, and the development and adoption of new doctrines and concepts on the subject. This article thus deals with the process of establishing State priorities on the basis of the principle of protecting the national interests and safeguarding the national security of the Russian Federation during the period 1999-2007.

The purpose of the article is to study the conditions and consequences of reforming the political system by adjusting the Constitution as its political and legal basis. The research methodology in solving the assigned tasks is the political, legal and legal approaches in the interpretation of the legality and legitimacy of the decisions made; systemic, communicative and conflictological approaches in assessing the transformation of the political and legal foundations of the political regime. An all-Russian expert survey was conducted (70 experts, 25 cities of the Russian Federation), which made it possible to assess the content of the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in terms of the emergence of risks to the stability of the political system. As a result of the performed political science analysis, the attitude of experts to the content and procedure for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation was revealed. According to experts, the most illegal are (in descending order): "zeroing" of presidential terms; popular vote; form of amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Among those who consider the amendments to be legal, there are more representatives of two age cohorts: up to 40 years old and over 64 years old, although negative assessments remain dominant in this case. Middle-aged people are more critical. The scientific degree (doctors / candidates of science), as well as the field of professional activity (lawyers / non-lawyers) practically do not differ in assessing the legal nature of the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation (with the exception of certain points).

The paper considers a number of changes made to the Strategy of the Russian Federation National Security, which was approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on July 2, 2021, in comparison with the previous strategy approved in 2015. The study is important since a new strategy has been recently enacted, and a uniform understanding of the key concepts reflected in this document seems essential. Some issues related to the fixed definitions of such concepts as “national security of the Russian Federation”, “national interests of the Russian Federation”, “strategic national priorities of the Russian Federation”, “national security protection”, “threat to national security”, “national security protection system” are analyzed. The study compares the definition of the concept “national security” fixed in the Strategy of the Russian Federation National Security, which was approved in 2021, with the options for other definitions given in the similar documents that were previously in force in Russia during the post-Soviet period of Russian history. The study additionally focuses on the transformation of national interests of the Russian Federation, which are enlisted in the recent strategy. In particular, the paper discusses the wording “saving the people of Russia, developing human potential, improving the quality of life and the well-being of citizens”. The author emphasizes that undervaluation of the strategic importance of the social sphere as a security factor in the course of economic and political reforms may cause threat of loss of citizens’ confidence in government officials, which, under certain conditions, can lead society and the country to a constitutional crisis and the collapse of federal status.

The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for countering the destruction of the nationhood of the Russian Federation. The subject of the article is various aspects of countering the technologies of destruction of nationhood, reflected in the strategic planning documents. The results of the accomplished work: based on the analysis of the doctrinal documents of foreign actors and the modern practice of destructive impact on the target countries, the authors identified the most relevant technologies through which the destruction of nationhood occurs: information, political, economic and cyber impact on the population and infrastructure. Currently, the main threats are shifted from the military and economic spheres to the information one. One of the priority tasks of external actors is to influence the population in order to change values and meanings. In connection with the dominance of the power component in the regulatory and legal framework in the field of national security of Russia, the authors propose to make a number of changes to the main documents of strategic planning, strengthening the problems of the humanitarian component, spiritual and moral values, and culture. At the same time, the main task at the state level should be the creation of a holistic, in terms of goal-setting and management, system of counteracting the destruction of statehood.
