The article is devoted to the problem of identifying the content and use of the concept “new ethics” in the journalistic, philosophical and cultural Russian-language literature of recent years. The author reveals the internally contradictory nature of this concept, since Russian-speaking authors are trying to grasp the phenomenon that has arisen and is actively developing, primarily in Western Europe, and which does not have such a kind of conceptual verbalization there. The article shows that there is a shift of emphasis from the discussion of the phenomena of the “new moral sensitivity”, which are also of a value-ambiguous nature, to the discussion of the concept in its negative connotation. The author shares the position of those theorists who believe that for the ethical self-determination of Russian society, it is more important today to direct the focus of humanitarian research attention not so much to the term as to the analysis of the phenomenon that gave rise to it.

The article presents a systematic analysis of the Russian press of 1880, which actively responded to Dostoevsky’s Pushkin Speech. The interpretive boom around his speech is of particular interest for the study of the formative processes of public and national consciousness in Russia. In the history of journalism, the debates that took place at that time can be equated with modern information wars. At the same time, this episode is one of the decisive ones for the ‘Dostoevsky problem’ in criticism and, more broadly, in the Russian public consciousness. The “Pushkin Speech” was obviously of a unifying nature, but it, and even more so the 1880 “A Writer’s Diary,” caused a severe split in journalism, which reflected the mindset of the Russian society. At first, there is a change of semantic accents in telegrams and correspondence, and then the key concept of "panhumanity" is presented exclusively as a “dream” in publications opposing Dostoevsky, one that is not only incompatible with reality, but also distracts from pressing socio-economic problems. There is also an expansion in meaning in the form of the notorious “messianism” of Dostoevsky. The most commonly used concept used by journalists that are hostile to the writer is mysticism as a euphemism for faith. In parallel, a different understanding of the Pushkin speech is being formed in some publications (Mysl’, Nedelya, Novoe Vremya, a little later — Rus’). It views it as a verbalization of the national idea in its focus on the panhuman as a feasible ideal. The dispute that ensued around Dostoevsky’s speech led to the self-determination of the leading trends of Russian thought.

<p>I In education philosophy a human personality as a value was started to be supposed at the end of 20th century. The specific of Latvia in a formation of teacher’s professional study course is considered that in the education policy in Latvia and Europe a big attention is paid to a pupil as individuality, to perfection of his/her personality, to facilitation of creative activity and humanization. In Latvia there have been developed the conditions for the purposeful personality development of emerging teachers who are able to render his/her social and cultural experience to pupils, are able to understand pupils’ needs, individual peculiarities, selfdependently choose the study content and appropriate study methods to prognosticate the direction of pupil’s development. The acquired traditions of folk pedagogy are delivered to the next generations thus creating the circumstances for the development of teenager’s personality providing the understanding about himself / herself as a unique personality. In the publication the theoretical and scientific literature about “I” conception of personality has been researched. It includes the research of the authors’ (Mudriks, Safins &amp; Nikovs, Eriksons, Dubrovina) points of views about psychological self-determination of “I” conception of teenager’s personality. A methodological justification of “I” conception is found in the humanitarian approach (Maslovs, Eriksons, Špona, Jurgena, Vigotskis, Frene, Mudriks and others) and the answers concerning the questions “how” have been searched in folk pedagogy – in fairy-tails, folk songs and sayings where the idea how to bring up and what to avoid are expressed.</p>

The paper discusses the influence of organized crime on the criminalization of modern Russian society — the so-called self-determination of crime. To effectively counteract the self-determination of crime, a comprehensive study of all its forms and mechanisms is necessary, special emphasis should be placed on organized crime due to its heightened social danger. The proposed approach allows a deeper and more precise study of self-determination of organized crime and related phenomena. Recently, there has been a transformation of domestic organized crime into economic crime, which explains the deep criminalization of the Russian economy. The paper also discusses another form of self-determination of crime that is closely related to organized crime — corruption. The Russian experience in combating organized crime highlights the need to develop an integrated strategy in this area. The results of the study can be applied in the educational process in the study of the Criminology Course in higher educational institutions.

The accurate perception of culture-specific emotions of the people living in the host country, may be the most significant, and yet the most underestimated challenge for the international students in the process of adjusting to a new culture. The latest report of the Institute of International Education (IIE) about Russia, confirmed that, in the year 2020, around 353,000 international students are currently studying in the Russian Federation. The studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009 have confirmed that the foreign students from former Soviet republics or former USSR countries (students from post-soviet states, not including Russia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) have lower degrees of perceived cultural distance with Russian culture, this can be explained by the fact that the students from former Soviet republics can speak Russian language fluently, and share religion and traditions with Russian culture. Consequently, the group of students from former USSR countries adapt better to Russia in comparation to the rest of international students. The results of our study in 2020, revealed that the perception of Russian culture-specific emotions among international students studying in the Russian Federation, is significantly predicted by the similarity between the culture of the international students living in Russia and the culture of Russian society. Moreover, our study confirmed that the group of students from former Soviet republics, or former USSR countries, perceived more similarities with Russian national culture; therefore, this result is consistent with the findings of the aforementioned studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009. Thus, we can consider that the accurate recognition of Russian culture-specific emotions and the perceived similarities to Russian cultural standards, may be very significant for the international students studying in the Russian Federation, especially for their process of adjusting to Russian culture. Nevertheless, further research on this topic is needed.

The article is devoted to the study of the image of the trickster – one of the key ones in modern Russian culture and literature. The article analyzes the specifics of the functioning and attribution of the trickster figure in V. Makanin‘s novel The Underground, or the Hero of Our Time (1998). This is a soliloquium novel. It is shown how the appearance of the trickster hero, who is aware of his connection with the myth, helps to solve the tragic issues facing the consciousness of the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. The life – affirming, vital potential of the image of the main character of the novel – Petrovich is considered, the inherent possibilities, means of awareness and representation of the tragic are revealed. The paper examines the intertextual field of the character’s image, including the archetypes of “naked man”, “little man”, “extra man” and “underground man”, who made up the canon of Russian classics. The reinterpretation of archetypes is the realization of the author’s attempt, his hero, to “push” Russia into the next century, free from the dictates of the literary canon, opening up the prospect of finding one’s own Word as a self-determination of an individual in the new century.

The paper presents the full text of a work by L.S. Vygotsky “Lines of Mourning” (1916) along with detailed commentaries. This article was the first of the three published in the Jewish periodical Noviy Put’ that can be considered a triptych dedicated to the issues of national, cultural and religious traditions and their relation with modern times. The text and commentaries provide an insight into personal meanings and attitudes of young Vygotsky in the situation of political and value/normative uncertainty. This enables us to reconstruct the features of social, political, national and ethic self-definition of the scientist and to reveal the grounds and values underlying the cultural-historical approach. Special attention is brought to the dialogic nature of the Jewish and Russian culture. In the commentaries we also focus on the specifics of artistic and reflective position of Vygotsky in relation to pre-revolutionary events that took place at that time: understanding this allows us to comprehend a whole set of social, political, moral, ethic and truly psychological problems that would later on be reflected in his scientific works. Another section of our commentaries is centered on the analysis of the article’s style and composition and its multi-layered structure.

This section focuses on issues of improving the methodology of Russian language teaching and efficiency of teaching Russian in a multicultural environment with the use of elements of spiritual (including folklore) culture in educational institutions of the Mari El Republic (humanitarian gymnasiums, secondary and higher educational institutions). The authors of the section demonstrate the features of using folklore in the main areas of activities (both class and extracurricular) of experimental network platforms (FIRO) and the pedagogical workshop (Prosveshcheniye Publishers) and conclude that such projects, aimed at the sociocultural adaptation of Russian youth and their socialization and culturalization, are extremely important in the aspect of harmonizing interpersonal and intercultural relations in the modern Russian society. By referring to several facts of traditional Russian culture in their teaching of Russian as a foreign language, the authors of the monograph (E.A. Plotnikova, M.N. Pirogova) have received a certain positive response. It is evident that at the initial stage of learning, the students should acquire a kind of linguistic minimum, which includes knowledge about the culture of the country, its traditions, the distinctive features of verbal and non-verbal communication, etc. In such cases, the use of innovative pedagogical technologies, including olympiads and quests, usually provides positive results.

Research Analysis

Rigorous transformations taken place in Russian society owing to information influence had drastically altered moral behavior patterns of an individual by designing different patterns of social reality. Transformation of reflexive structures of mental programs came into contradiction with normative (traditional, basic) behavior patterns of Russians that can be characterized as non-reflexive, conveying successive values and meanings, as well as mechanisms of development and self-determination of an individual. Hence, the article addresses features of self-determination of an individual in modern society determined by spiritual and mental sources of development. Trans-disciplinary approach is the theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific research. Analysis of mental programs and mental traditional matrixes of Russians, as well as spiritual meanings and values that define the process of self-determination corroborate the effectiveness of the research. Analysis of research papers suggests that self-determination relates to: self-actualization of potential, self-realization, spiritual self-comprehension, destination and integrity achievement, as well as to supreme values and meanings of culture of each civilization.

The article examines the ideological content of the concept of "civic consciousness" used in the public discourse of modern Russia. The main research method is a qualitative analysis of official publications aimed at identifying the main meanings of this concept. The article is dedicated to the analysis of civic consciousness as an ideological construct and a rhetorical strategy, substantiating the close historical and actual connection between ideology and civic consciousness, and considering the mutual determination of the functions of these phenomena. The main characteristics of sources that embody Russia's state model of civic consciousness are presented. The author shows the importance of historical dynamics of models of civic consciousness, their dependence on the phase of the evolution of each particular ideology. The author reveals that the model of civic consciousness is a value regulator of the political behavior of the population. The article concludes that the post-Soviet model of civic consciousness is an ideological mechanism for imposing duties and responsibilities on an individual, forming a mobilizing attitude to military or civil service to the state, that is, the ruling Corporation. This model cannot be effective for the development of social and human capital and political modernization of Russian society, since it preserves archaic political practices.

Humans need vitamin A and obtain essential vitamin A by conversion of plant foods rich in provitamin A and/or absorption of preformed vitamin A from foods of animal origin. The determination of the vitamin A value of plant foods rich in provitamin A is important but has challenges. The aim of this paper is to review the progress over last 80 years following the discovery on the conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A and the various techniques including stable isotope technologies that have been developed to determine vitamin A values of plant provitamin A (mainly β-carotene). These include applications from using radioactive β-carotene and vitamin A, depletion-repletion with vitamin A and β-carotene, and measuring postprandial chylomicron fractions after feeding a β-carotene rich diet, to using stable isotopes as tracers to follow the absorption and conversion of plant food provitamin A carotenoids (mainly β-carotene) in humans. These approaches have greatly promoted our understanding of the absorption and conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A. Stable isotope labeled plant foods are useful for determining the overall bioavailability of provitamin A carotenoids from specific foods. Locally obtained plant foods can provide vitamin A and prevent deficiency of vitamin A, a remaining worldwide concern.
