В статье семантика безразличия представлена в непосредственной связи с понятиями оценка и ценности. В центре внимания оказывается, во-первых, субъект оценки – человек, считающий необходимым засвидетельствовать свое безразличное отношение к объекту: безразличие рассматривается как состояние субъекта (семантика состояния). Во-вторых, сам субъект и носитель такого состояния представлен как объект оценки со стороны социума. Показано семантическое развитие слова равнодушие, значение которого трансформировалось с точки зрения оценочно-коннотативных свойств: от нейтральной оценки до негативной. Тексты художественной литературы свидетельствуют о том, что бездействие в момент, когда необходимо действие, – это поступок со знаком минус. Аксиогенный общественный ориентир – неравнодушие. The article presents the semantics of indifference in direct connection with the concepts of assessment and values. The focus is, firstly, on the subject of assessment – a person who considers it necessary to attest to his indifference to the object: indifference is presented as a state of the subject (semantics of the state). Secondly, the subject as the bearer of such a state is presented as an object of assessment by society. The semantic development of the word «indifference» is shown, the meaning of which has been transformed from the point of view of evaluative-connotative properties: from a neutral assessment to a negative one. The texts of fiction indicate that inaction at the moment when action is needed is an act with a minus sign. An axiogenic social reference is indifference.

Crimes against marriage and family are a particular group of social relation­ships that the law has defended properly in view of the high public significance and value they enjoy. At the moment they are regulated in Chapter VI, Section I, of the specific part of the Penal Code the Repub­lic of Bulgaria. The subject matter of this Statement will, however, be the legisla­tive provisions concerning these criminal­ized acts in retrospect. The purpose of the study is to show by historical method and through the comparatively legal method the development of these criminal groups during the periods of various criminal laws in Bulgaria. This will also provide a basis for reflection on possible de lege ferenda proposals. This report from a structural point of view will be divided into three distinct points, marking each of the penal laws in the Republic of Bulgaria, which were in force before 1968.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the state of our knowledge of the etiology of epidemic encephalitis, and especially to draw a line of demarcation between the established virus of simple herpes and the hypothetical virus of epidemic encephalitis. It had already been shown that the experimental observations on rabbits do no suffice to prove the identity of the herpes with the encephalitis virus. The discussion of the subject in this paper shows that identity cannot be postulated on the basis of the performed guinea pig experiments. Attention has been drawn to the significant fact that there is lack of harmony in the positive results of those investigators who believe that the incitants of epidemic encephalitis have been discovered. An attempt has been made to attribute some of the discrepancies reported by these investigators either to accidental and contaminating microbic agents, or to the uncovering of virulent agents preexisting in a latent state in the animals employed for inoculation, the existence of which was not previously known or suspected. Since past experience leads us to believe in a single incitant for widespread epidemic diseases, it is probable that, when certainly discovered, the microbe of epidemic encephalitis will prove to be simple and not multiple. The direct corollary to this point of view is that up to the present, the etiology of epidemic encephalitis has not been determined.

The subject of the research is the criminal community, its characteristics, and features within the framework of criminology. The purpose of the research is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that a criminal community as a criminological phenomenon is nor equal to a criminal organization or an organized criminal group Methodology. The author uses general theoretical methods (comparative analysis, generalization, deduction) and specific methods (formal legal interpretation of legal acts, questionnaires). The main results, scope of application. A criminal organization and a criminal community are different criminological phenomena that differ from each other in significant ways. The differences are both in the degree of criminal organization, and the complexity of the structure of internal and external interaction. From the point of view of a systematic approach, a criminal community is not only a more complex system compared to a criminal organization. It is characterized by an improved structure of internal interaction, in which the hierarchical structure is either complicated, or replaced or supplemented by a network structure. The peculiarity is to complement the system approach with a synergistic one: in the criminal community, the pooling of criminal efforts is carried out more effectively, mainly in the sphere of external relations. The criminal community is a more open system compared to the criminal organization. Certain features can be identified in the contacts of criminal community members with the external environment. The most important feature is a symbiosis of criminal and legal practices that affects the life of entire regions or relatively large masses of the population. The criminal community is a purposeful system with its own specifics. And this specificity is seen in the fact that the criminal community pursues (secretly or openly, at the moment or in the foreseeable future) the achievement of political goals, namely: the possession of power, infiltration into power, undermining power, its capture and retention. It is power, not wealth, that is the real goal of the criminal community, and not just because it is easily converted into wealth. Power is valuable in itself, because it also gives a lot of other advantages. Conclusions. A criminal community cannot be reduced to a criminal organization, much less – to an organized criminal group, and this conclusion requires to be included into legislation.

The article is devoted to the albums Ten Landscapes and Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao, attributed to Shitao (1642–1707), a famous Chinese artist and theorist of painting in beginning of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). The aim of the article is to estab- lish authenticity of the albums. The album Ten Landscapes is in the collection of the State Museum of Oriental Art (Moscow). In 2015 one leaf from it was displayed at the exhibition Classical Painting of China. After visual evaluation and the analysis of painting, calligraphy and seals the author came to conclusion that the album Ten Landscapes could not be the original work of Shitao. It is probably the copy of another album Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao. The latter was very famous among the connoisseur’s circles at the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, its authenticity is also the subject of scientific discussion. Some of Chinese experts and researchers regard the album Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao as the best example of Shitao’s painting. Others question its authenticity. The author of the article gives arguments to confirm the latter point of view.

The encyclopedic editions that cover the topic of ZUNR are analyzed in this article. The main focus is on the Soviet encyclopedic editions "Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopedia" and "Soviet Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine" in which the authors covered the history of ZUNR under the crushing Soviet propaganda way. These articles describe the position of the Soviet authorities regarding the history of the ZUNR and the independence of Ukraine. Historical aspects of statehood are revealed, but as destructive and crushing for the Soviet apparatus. The unilateral nature of these articles was characterized as they covered ZUNR policy from a subjective point of view. The tendency of repetition of encyclopedic texts on ZUNR that passed from one Soviet edition to another is revealed. Changes in the emphasis on the study of the history of ZUNR with the restoration of Ukraine's independence have been observed. Significant attention is focused on modern encyclopedic projects, which cover the history of ZUNR and have become a kind of quintessence and business card of all previous scientific work on the subject of ZUNR. Examples in changing the emphasis in ZUNR research by modern researchers are given. The basic conceptual bases of national historiography concerning the history of ZUNR are formulated. In the article, the author emphasizes the position of changing the assessment of the state policy of ZUNR officials to the state policy. Domestic researchers in new encyclopedic editions re-submit ZUNR history and most of the stigmatized spots have been cleaned up and fairly introduced into national encyclopedic editions. The article emphasizes the need to develop new archival data that will become available in the archives of the Catholic University of Rome. Declassification of these materials will make it possible to review articles in encyclopedic editions of already independent Ukraine. Make their own adjustments and add to existing present historical material. The author emphasizes that encyclopedic science is an important field of historical disciplines, because it covers a large amount of material in an accessible abbreviated form. Key words: Western Ukrainian People's Republic 1918–1919, national democratic revolution, «Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopedia», «Soviet Encyclopedia of History of Ukraine», «Encyclopedia of History of Ukraine», «Western Ukrainian People's Republic 1918–1923. Encyclopedia», Ukrainian Galician Army.

The article presents the results of a sociological study of municipal public policy conducted in the federal city of Sevastopol in 2020. Methodologically, the study was based on an index approach based on the participation of different groups of local experts and specialists in the process of evaluating the work of institutions and mechanisms, as well as the activities of public policy actors. According to the obtained index assessment of the state of public policy in the municipal districts of Sevastopol, we can talk about an almost consolidated type of public policy, when the estimated positions of two groups of respondents (representatives of municipal authorities, small and medium-sized businesses) are consolidated, and the indices of employees of municipal unitary enterprises and the NGO community differ slightly from them. From the point of view of the characteristics of the institutional status of local public policy, the highest scores in solidarity with all groups of respondents given the quality of the functioning of national harmony and tolerance of religions and faiths, of institutions, municipal elections and education. Institutions for the protection of private and municipal property, as well as the functioning of a website for collecting proposals from residents of the city, received solidly low ratings. And the worst rating is given to healthcare institutions. From the point of view of the subject cross-section of municipal public policy in the municipal districts of Sevastopol, there is a more pessimistic assessment of the activities of subjects and actors on the part of local authorities and employees of municipal unitary enterprises. Representatives of the NGO community and, to a lesser extent, business gave more optimistic assessments. The development of the subject potential of participants in public interaction in the city will require targeted program work to improve the skills of local self-government entities, to resolve the problems of redistribution of powers between the state bodies of Sevastopol and the authorities of municipalities and to provide the latter with financial resources, to transfer property to municipalities.

Every state functions through its legal order and that legal order shows the nature of every state. From that point of view, the nature of the state and the authority which functioned in the regions of the Serbian lands from the moment of the Osmanli conquests till the end of that rule was best reflected through the law which regulated social relations. If one views the state which ruled in the regions of the Serbian lands in that way, one can clearly state that it, in its nature, had the basic goal to realize Islamic doctrine. All legal acts which the administration in Constantinople passed to ensure its normal functioning had the Islamic character. As most of these acts had been created long before the birth of the Osmanli state, they cannot be called Osmanli, because they were not such by their origin or their essence. It is specially important that their intention was not to maintain the Turkish national idea, as it could be concluded from a large number of historical syntheses which discuss that part of our history, but the triumph of Islam. Therefore, it is most correct to call that law Islamic-Osmanli law because its largest part had been created before the appearance of the Osmanli state and had as a goal the triumph of Islam; it is an Osmanli law because it was implemented in the territories ruled by the Osmanli dynasty.

Problem setting. Of the large volume of cases before national courts, cases involving the distinction between labor and civil relations are of particular interest. Superficial familiarization with the practice of consideration of this type of labor disputes reveals the existence of conflicting enforcement approaches, sometimes contradictory to each other, which determines the need for a deeper understanding of the issues of disputes caused by such phenomena as concealment or replacement of labor relations. The purpose of the research is to reveal the problematic issues of the distinction between labor and civil relations, both from the point of view of the existing doctrine of labor law, and through the prism of the existing rulemaking practice, aimed at improving national legislation on labor. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The issues of the distinction between labor and civil relations have become the subject of scientific analysis in the writings of such scientists as O.V. Zabrodina, L.O. Zolotukhina, M.I. Inshin, R.A. Maidanik, S.M. Prilipko, Ya.V. Svichkaryova, D.I. Sirokha, N.V. Fedorchenko, O.M. Yaroshenko and others. At the same time, these issues require further research in order to develop comprehensive recommendations aimed at improving labor law. Article’s main body. Among the specific number of court cases that are subject to the applicable rules of labor law are the two most common categories of cases through which the Supreme Court formulates legal positions on the distinction between labor and civil relations. The subject of the first category of cases are the demands of individuals on the recognition of relationships, formulated in the form of a civil contract labor. The subject of the second category of cases is disputes between employers and the State Service of Ukraine on labor issues on the recognition of illegal and the cancellation of prescriptions and resolutions of the state body. The analysis of the legal positions of the Supreme Court, formulated as a result of consideration of the above categories of cases, leads to the conclusion that the basic concept of the distinction between labor and civil relations, which is applied in the practice of the Supreme Court, is fully consistent with the doctrinal approach and is to determine the employment relationship, what relation, subject advocates the process of organization of work, not its result, with a further combination of the specified trait with other traits in each specific situation (duration of relationships, systematic the promptness of payment, the presence of signs of subordination, and others).. Conclusion. In the case of disputes related to the concealment of labor relations or their replacement through the conclusion of civil contracts with employees, the case-law proceeds from the need for a systematic assessment of the content of contracts concluded between the parties for the purpose of revealing in their terms direct or indirect signs of employment relations. The approaches taken by the Supreme Court to distinguish between labor and civil relations certainly enrich the law-enforcement practice and, given the binding status of its rulings, help to formulate uniform approaches to the interpretation and application of the provisions of current law.

The social configuration of exile means the minority presence of a social group that builds a different lifestyle and different beliefs from the majority while coexisting with that majority in the same place. This configuration, valued in a surprising way, in the Jewish prophetism of the exile period, has long faced strong oppositions. The Christendom society wanted, from this point of view, a homogeneous society. The Reformation has produced divisions, but has not destroyed, as a first step, the local uniformity of convictions and life choices. The radical Reformation, which has valued, from 1523, individual choice against a religion imposed or controlled by the state had all the attributes needed to conceive itself as living in a position of exile. This has not been the case. The pressure for social homogeneity was too strong at the time. It was not before the twentieth century, when rereading the legacy of the radical Reformation in the context of an increasingly fragmented society, that the subject was finally raised.
