The article is devoted to the study of the party model of Russian parliamentarism in post-soviet period. The focus is on the issues of party representation and its correlation with the distribution of the managerial positions and introduction of collective legislation at State Duma. These issues are examined from the point of view of reaching cross-party consensus and implementation of fair parliament party representation principle. According to the author Russian parliamentarism model aims at reaching full-fledged party consensus that corresponds better to the principles of popular representation than strict parliament polarization along the line of “authority-opposition”. Understanding of those issues by the majority of the players was noted from the very start of the State Duma activities, in spite of the acute conflicts in the 1990-ies.The author draws the conclusion that the equation of party representation continues to grow at the level of managerial positions in the parliament that allows to improve cooperation of the parties and to reduce authority and opposition conflicts. Thereby the Russian parliamentarism model makes an important contribution to the stabilization of socio-political situation of the country.

The article considers the Kumyk satirical-humorous prose of the last thirty years on the example of the work of its prominent representatives A. Mamaev and G. Konakbiev, highlights its individual trends, content, artistic features. It is noted that in it, with the leading role of small genres, we can see the activation of a short story of an anecdotal form, the weakening of the social component against the background of increased writers’ attention to private phenomena, an appeal to traditional moral values, active operation by such comic means as playing words, transitions from the author's position to the position of characters, dynamic plots, spectacular finals, etc.

<p>The town of Gukovo is an average city of the Rostov Region with a population of about 65 thousand people. Its industry is connected with coal mining. When the local coal mines were closed in the post-Soviet period, many people lost their jobs and began to seek employment in other regions. Today the local residents work mainly in the social sphere, trade and agriculture. They associate the prospects for the development of the urban industrial and social infrastructure with the creation of the priority social and economic development area (PSEDA) “Gukovo”. At present, the enterprises of PSEDA have already begun operating: they are mostly oriented to<br />engineering, manufacturing of reinforced concrete structures, carbonaceous materials, sunflower oil, and textile products. The goal of the study is to highlight the current social and economic problems of the municipal entity “Gukovo City” – PSEDA “Gukovo”, represented through the prism of the opinions of its residents. The study is based on the materials of depth interviews</p>

На сегодняшний день имеет место противоречие между большим объемом эмпирического и статистического материала по достижениям чувашских спортсменов в крупнейших международных соревнованиях и недостаточно глубоким их анализом, лежащим в основе выявления закономерностей и перспектив развития спорта в республике. Целью исследования является выявление динамики и закономерностей участия спортсменов Чувашской Республики в составе сборной команды страны на Олимпийских играх 1952-2016 гг. Методы исследования: теоретический анализ исторической и справочной литературы по теме исследования, анализ документальных материалов, методы математической статистики. В советский период наибольшее число участников Олимпийских игр среди спортсменов Чувашской Республики (по 4 человека) приходится на игры 1972 и 1976 гг. Самыми успешными можно признать выступления спортсменов Чувашской Республики на Олимпийских играх 1968, 1976 и 1980 гг. Наиболее высокое среднее место приходится на бокс, фехтование, командную велогонку, борьбу классическую. В постсоветский период представительство спортсменов Чувашской Республики в составе Олимпийской сборной России заметно увеличилось и составило по 10 человек на играх в 2000 и 2004 гг., 9 человек на играх в 2008 г. Можно выделить 20-летний период успешного выступления спортсменов Чувашской Республики на Олимпийских играх - с 1992 по 2012 гг. Наиболее высокое среднее место приходится на спортивную гимнастику, бег 3000 м с препятствиями. Today, there is a contradiction between a large volume of empirical and statistical material on the achievements of athletes of the Chuvash Republic in major international competitions and insufficient analysis, which is the basis for identifying the regularities and prospects for the development of sports in the republic. The aim of the study is to identify the dynamics and patterns of participation of athletes of the Chuvash Republic in the national team at the Olympic Games of 1952-2016. The research methods are theoretical analysis of historical and reference literature on the research topic, analysis of documentary materials, methods of mathematical statistics. In the Soviet period, the largest number of participants in the Olympic Games among athletes of the Chuvash Republic (4 people) was in the 1972 and 1976 Games. The performances of the Chuvash athletes at the Olympic Games of 1968, 1976 and 1980 can be considered the most successful. The most striking results were achieved in boxing, fencing, team cycling, and Greco-Roman wrestling. In the post-Soviet period, the representation of athletes of the Chuvash Republic in the Russian Olympic team has noticeably increased and amounted to 10 people at the games in 2000 and 2004, 9 people - at the games in 2008. A 20-year period from 1992 to 2012 can be considered most successful. The greatest results were achieved in gymnastics and steeplechase.

This article looks at the trajectory of prison reform in post-Soviet Georgia and Russia. It attempts to understand recent developments through an analysis of the resilient legacies of the culture of punishment born out of the Soviet period. To do this, the article fleshes out the concept of carceral collectivism, which refers to the practices and beliefs that made up prison life in Soviet and now post-Soviet countries. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 revealed a penal culture in notable need of reform. Less obvious, in retrospect, was how over the course of a century this predominantly ‘collectivist’ culture of punishment was instantiated in routine penal practices that stand in opposition to western penalities. The article shows how the social and physical structuring of collectivism and penal self-governance have remained resilient in the post-Soviet period despite diverging attempts at reform in Russia and Georgia. The article argues that persistent architectural forms and cultural attachment to collectivism constitute this resilience. Finally, the article asks how studies of collectivist punishment in the post-Soviet region might inform emerging debates about the reform and restructuring of individualizing, cell-based prisons in western jurisdictions.

Informal reciprocal exchanges continue to shape people’s interactions in post-Soviet Kazakhstan. State retrenchment from the social sphere and growing inequality has markedly limited citizens’, access to scarce resources including housing. This has stimulated people’s involvement in informal exchanges. The article analyzes housing policy during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods taking a closer look at the process of housing allocation. It claims that despite formalization of housing distribution, citizens continue using informal networks to gain access to that scarce commodity in the post-Soviet period. The article draws on data collected from interviews, textual analysis, and original surveys conducted in Kazakhstan in 2011 and 2013.

This paper is a brief political and ethnographic commentary on the ‘issues of weakness’ in the current political leadership of Kalmykia. In the Republic of Kalmykia, southwest Russia, ideas about national leaders have been subject to change, depending on the political regime in Russia. Whereas in the Soviet period good leaders, both historical and contemporary, were thought to be skilful managers who did not necessarily have the power to change the course of history, in the post-Soviet period proper national leaders are considered to be those who are endowed with the power to influence history. According to the author, this change in the concept of leadership became possible owing to certain political developments in post-Soviet Kalmykia that allowed alternative ideas to contest some tenets of the Soviet historiography, such ideas remaining largely intact. The tension in Kalmyk historiography between old Soviet and new ideas is unresolved, a situation which is symptomatic of wider tensions and transformations occurring in Kalmyk society itself.
