In modern society, there is an active process of the revival of religions, reflected in the formation of the religious consciousness of young people, including students. Youth is included in the religious system under the influence of the family, the media, advertising and the promotion of religious ideas. Faith in God is one of the indicators of the development of religious consciousness among students. In Buryatia, the religious life of society is associated with faiths that historically shape religious consciousness: shamanism, Buddhism, Christianity, accompanied by an increase in the construction of temples, datsans, the opening of shamanistic ritual places of worship, etc. In connection with the increase in the religious activity of society, a sociological study was conducted among students of students studying at the Buryat Institute of Infocommunications, a branch of the Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of students believe in God and have a religious consciousness, while Orthodoxy and Buddhism are dominant in determining the religiosity of respondents. Christianity in the form of Orthodoxy and Catholicism is also represented in the religious consciousness of students. At the same time, Orthodoxy is predominant among students, indicating religious identity in the unification of the peoples of Russia. Belief in Buddhism in religious consciousness is identified with the ethnicity of the Buryats. Shamanism and Buddhism as a belief in deities are separated, along with this they have common ideas in a single substrate of religious consciousness. The process of the revival of Orthodoxy, Buddhism and shamanism continues, students, on the basis of faith in God, identify themselves with religions on ethnic, social, ideological grounds, which in our opinion is associated with the growth of national identity of ethnic groups. Faith has become an indicator of ethnic and national identity, positively influencing religious self-awareness, strengthening the cultural traditional values of our state. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of faith in the religious consciousness of students of the Buryat Institute of Infocommunications to obtain objective results of the development of youth religiosity.

Based on the results of the conducted sociological research, it is concluded that the role of Adyghism (adygag) in the system of traditional ethno-cultural values of the Adyghes has decreased, and therefore there is a need to revive and develop the national identity of the Adyghes.

Over the last few decades, scholars have dedicated much attention to the coverage of sportswomen in the media. However, few of these studies are situated within the Central Eastern European context. In this study, I analyze the textual and visual coverage of sportswomen in the Hungarian monthly sports magazine Presztízs Sport and examine the ways in which Hungarian national identity is articulated through discourses of sport, athletic competence, and womanhood. This sports magazine reflects some of the global patterns in the representation of sportswomen, but also distinguishes athletes based on the sport’s historical success in Hungary. Further, it positions the családanya, the “family-mother” as a gender ideal that transcends other representation categories. The maternal athletic body affirms conservative values and contributes to the aspirations of nation-building through both reproduction and elite sporting success.

AbstrakKarya tulis yang merupakan resume hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan gambaran mendalam mengenai eksistensi keraton di tengah peradaban masa kini dengan fokus telaah pada persepsi masyarakat terhadap keraton. Penelitian berangkat dari anggapan bahwa keraton semakin menempati posisi marginal belakangan ini. Hal tersebut antara lain disebabkan oleh perubahan sikap dan pandangan masyarakat terhadap keraton akibat derasnya arus kebudayaan dunia dan lingkungan global. Keraton kini hanya dianggap sebagai pusat kebudayaan bagi masyarakat setempat, bukan lagi merupakan sebuah wilayah kekuasaan politik yang independen. Meskipun demikian, masyarakat masih mengenangnya sebagai salah satu lumbung budaya daerah yang potensial. Untuk mengupas permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Adapun teknik pengumpulan datanya adalah studi literatur, observasi dan wawancara. Setelah dikaji, penulis mencoba merumuskan beberapa usulan kebijakan mengenai langkah-langkah revitalisasi keraton dalam mengantisipasi era globalisasi, yaitu mewujudkan dan memantapkan identitas kepribadian bangsa yang dikemas dengan model masa kini tanpa harus tercerabut dari akarnya. AbstractThe paper is a resumé of a research concerning depth description of the existence of keraton (karatuan = royal palace) in the middle of modern society focusing on the peoples’s perception on keraton. Today people think keraton merely a cultural centre for local people, not as a domain of an independently political power. Changes in world culture and global environment might be responsible for this point of view.To analyse the problem the author conducted a descriptive research method with qualitative approach. Data were collected from bibliographical study, observation, dan interviews. Some suggestions are proposed, such as the policies that should be taken by keraton in anticipating globalization. Revitalization should be made possible in maintaining the recent national identity without having to abandon old traditional values.

The article examines the positive psychological issues of the formation of national self-awareness and thinking through instilling in the younger generation, the preservation of the historically established high national and moral values of each nation. One of the main psychological factors in the formation of national self-awareness among each young generation is the awareness of the psychological past of people, which means that knowledge of what moral and psychological qualities they possess and how their people are progressing, which is widely reflected in the article. Because it is impossible to direct future development without knowing the ethnogenesis and ethnopsychological past of the people. Margaret Mead notes that the past of the older generation is the future of the younger generation. First of all, the role of the ethnocultural environment of the family in the formation of national identity is great. The main national values are born in the family, formed and instilled in children by parents in the process of action and communication. In the national consciousness of the younger generation, the family is considered sacred and exalted, perceived as an example of a small state. In the life of every family lives its spirit, spirituality, reflecting the identity of the people, serving the formation of national identity, passed down from generation to generation. Folklore samples, works of classics, historical monuments are of particular importance in obtaining information on the history of the psychological development of the people and play a key role in the formation of national identity and national self-awareness of the younger generation. The formation of national identity is the basis for the active generation and self-realization of the young generation, taking into account the acquisition of certain knowledge about the ethno psychological past of the people. The national consciousness of cognition of the psychological past of its people actively influences the further development of the young generation in terms of national self-development, national self-improvement. A young man who understands himself, feels his national identity with soul and blood, respects his people, is now in the spirit of national identity. But in the younger generation, national consciousness is not a connection with the past, but the preservation of the beauty of their people, propaganda and inspiration of the generation and the world, growing in accordance with the ideology of the time, and the elimination of people's shortcomings. The article emphasizes that the development of national self-awareness should not lead to national egoism, national individualism. Because where there is national egoism, there are outward features that arise exclusively from nationalist tendencies and are not characteristic of other nations and peoples, as well as for the nation itself, which leads to national conflicts between nations and peoples. Keywords: young generation, personality, national self-awareness, people, development.

The article focuses on the issues related to the specifics of teaching the Russian Culture via English course introduced as a part of Masters in Linguistics degree program at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) in 2016. The need for the course stems from the fact that the era of pluricentric English calls for a new type of globally competent and competitive Russian linguists, teachers, and teacher trainers of English able to express their national identity as well as to transmit, promote, and teach national culture through English functioning as a lingua franca, specifically, through the national variety of English, that is Russian English. The course aims at fostering students’ national self-awareness and enhancing their ability to reflect upon their own culture, culture of others as well as culture in general. The article also tackles such aspects as the course syllabus and objectives, its teaching techniques, and materials, as well as challenges that students might face.

The article presents the results of a comparative content-analytical sociological study of city newspapers of thirteen million-strong cities in comparison to editions of six small and four medium-sized towns of Russia. The research, conducted by Faculty of Journalism of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2013-2017, shows that thematic models of these city newspapers issued in different localities along with common features also have essential distinctions. In megalopolis newspapers, in general, the thematic field is very wide, though editorial offices do not pay equal attention to different subjects. Two thematic disproportions were found in the content of newspapers of million-strong cities. The media picture that prevails in their content is generally concentrated on the sphere of leisure and consumption, hardly mentioning productive, professional life of citizens. The second disproportion is connected with the fact that the main attention is paid to social problems of everyday life, the habitat, infrastructure of big cities, but not the person, persons inner world, values, morals, psychology, and relationship with other people. Media of million-strong cities rather work in line with a commercial paradigm. The research has shown that the smaller the town is, the closer newspapers are to requirements and problems which concern inhabitants, they try to light the most important spheres of their life and more evenly distribute the attention to different aspects of activity of the readers, including history, traditions, national crafts. Newspapers of the medium-sized and small towns reflect objective needs of citizens; help to solve specific problems, to keep traditions and basic values.

The goal of this research article is to demonstrate that non-traditional marriages not only undermine the moral basis of the institution of the family, and lead to the rejection of traditional values. In order to examine this problem, comparative analysis was chosen as the main research method. Through the exploration of international experience and comparing legal norms, repeating the same mistakes in the area of domestic law and judicial practice can be avoided. This approach also facilitates the assessment of the effectiveness of solving various problems of law enforcement associated with the institutions of marriage and as a consequence, family in modern society. Additionally, the authors employed some other general and private scientific methods. Based on the findings of this work, the following conclusions were drawn: non-traditional marriage is a relationship in which the number of participants, their gender, the method of marriage registration, as well as the method of choosing a partner differ from the generally accepted standard of “the man and the woman” to meet sexual interests and needs of the participants. It is noteworthy that family is the basis of the state, national identity, and cultural development. Without a family in its traditional sense, it is impossible to preserve traditions and to pass them on from one generation to another. Therefore, it is imperative for us and our legislators to seriously consider the legalization of the concept of non-traditional marriages so that they are prohibited and the individuals who are looking to enter into such marriages are persecuted, since these newfangled Western trends are aimed at the destruction of state values and the inexorable degradation of the state itself.

Value orientations, national mindset, and ethnic self-awareness have formed throughout multiple centuries by the means of traditional folklore. The texts of older generation referred to children, children compositions and practices along with upbringing techniques in the bosom of family or community ensured the development of personality traits of a child, introduction to labor, behavioral and communication norms, rituals, and all aspects of the national culture.

Religion is an important component of Ukrainian society and culture, but we are currently in a situation of reconstructing national identity, so the question is which place religion will take in the new construct? The formation of religion in the structure of identity, in addition to the media, is also influenced by literature, but this influence is more complex and contains hidden intentions, so the analysis of religion in the identity structure of modern literary works is relevant and not enough studied. The works by Serhiy Zhadan stand out with a special outrageousness, including images of a religious orientation. At first glance, it seems that in these texts the author deconstructs, destroys and speaks ironically of the established religious images and symbols, demonstrating the uselessness of religion in modern society. However, the outward outrage hides the attempts to cite examples of identity construction, in which religion is given a certain place. The aim of the article is to consider the representation, dynamics of development, artistic functions, and role of religion in the structure of character identity in Serhiy Zhadan's novels of 2004–2017 (“Depesh Mod” “Voroshylovhrad”, “Internat”). Methods of classification and modelling, sociopsychological, and hermeneutic interpretation, comparison, deconstruction, and methods of postcolonial studies have been used in the analysis. The study has found that religion has a different role and value in each of the novels. In “Depesh Mod”, religion is presented as an “another” phenomenon that is abstract and incomprehensible and has no real embodiment; the narrator speaks ironically of the bearers of religious identity, but at the same time takes quite seriously the image of Jesus. In “Voroshylovhrad” religion acts as a phenomenon of “own” and plays almost the most important role in the formation of group identity of the character; moreover, here we have a sample of religion, where abstract ideas are reconciled with the material world and values. In the “Internat” the emphasis is on the formation of national identity, and therefore the author addresses religion much less, demonstrating its inability to answer the question “own – another's” in terms of national identification. These three texts also present examples of the deconstruction of religion: religious images and symbols are presented in real-life situations far removed from the traditional religious context of Scripture or the temple. The novelty of the article lies in the problem posed, because the study of religion in the structure of the identity of works of art has little attention (in contrast to the study of intertextual links between literature and the Bible). The practical significance is an idea of studying religion in the structure of identity through the involvement in the analysis of strata of national-ethnic, cultural, ethical, traditional, and moral issues.

Studies of Russian youth in Russia, their values, life plans, and happy worldviews have always aroused interest abroad since young people are the potential of the future. They are at the epicenter of Russian domestic events. The study aims to formulate the algorithm of the “phenomenon of Russian happiness” in the regional student youth of Bashkortostan. Methods: an annual complex sociological study (on the sample of 563 respondents) and a focus-group ethno0gender study were conducted by the author in December 2019 – January 2020. The study respondents are the students of the major supporting oil university of the region aged from 19 to 30 years old. The novelty of the study lies in identifying the specifics of Russians’ perception of the “phenomenon of happiness” under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. A regional portrait of Russian student youth is compiled based on the study results. The happiness of youth is a value orientation that determines their social behavior. Happiness is a “social indicator” of self-control for the “satisfaction of their needs”. Family, health, love, peace, and patriotism remain the traditional values ensuring the happy life of Russians. A scientifically grounded synthesis approach is important for studying the “phenomenon of happiness” as it allows accounting for the ethno-gender, psycho-physiological, political and economic, and socio-demographic components. “The phenomenon of Russian happiness” in the 21st century is associated with traditional and successive fundamental values: “study-work-provide for the family”. Russian students prove to be “felicitous optimists”. The majority of them (70%) do not find themselves disoriented in the conditions of the COVID-19, they observe measures of personal safety. The students indicate “creating a family with children” and “professional and career advancement” in their postgraduate happy plans while in the present they “make money in their free time” and “read” professional literature.
