Eurasianism Today and What Lev Gumilev Was Right About

Author(s):  
Stavris Parastatov

Lev Gumilev, the son of the famous Russian poets Nikolai Gumilev and Anna Akhmatova, according to all the canons of history, had to remain in the shadow of his great parents. However, Lev Gumilev went down in history as a very outstanding personality, the author of the original idea of the birth and development of ethnicities, which was called the “passion” theory of ethnogenesis. This theory causes great controversy about its scientific nature to this day. Lev Gumilev developed his theory within the framework of the concept of Eurasianism. Among the wide variety of Eurasian peoples, Gumilev saw a common ethnic origin, common stereotypes of behavior that could lead to the geopolitical unity of the territory inhabited by them. At the end of the last century, primordialism in ethnology was rejected by the majority of the scientific community, and Gumilev’s ideas were criticized. However, last years the Eurasianist ideas of Lev Gumilev are experiencing a new wave of importance in connection with the strategic path of development that the Russian Federation has chosen for itself, which is progressively building the United Eurasian Community.

The article examines the recent active public debate concerning the organization of expert activity in Russia. Along with terminological ambiguity in this area, there are significant issues related to the status of the expert, expert’s independence, and the general devaluation of expert opinion. The activity of expert councils formed under the executive authorities is subject to particular criticism both from the citizens and the state. At the same time, special attention is paid to the participation of the scientific community in the independent expertise of programs, projects, and decisions. In this connection, according to the results of the meeting of the Council on education and science, the list of instructions of the President of the Russian Federation provides for the introduction of amendments into the legislation concerning the concept “scientific (scientific-technical) expertise”. It is necessary to establish the criteria and mechanisms for this expertise, as well as the rules for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of budgetary allocations for state support of scientific research and development.

This article traces the beginning of Romani literature. It focuses on the work of Alexander Germano in the context of the history of a unique Romani literacy project developed in the USSR before the Second World War. It shows the peculiarity of the Soviet Romani literature and in particular the personal activities and contributions of Germano, the man considered the progenitor of contemporary Romani literature (with works in all three main genres of literature: poetry, prose, and drama). The study is based on a number of years of archival work in a variety of archives in the Russian Federation and to a great extent in Alexander Germano’s personal archive, preserved in the town of Orel (Russian Federation). The documents studied allow us to clarify the blurred spots in his biography, to reveal his ethnic background and identity, and to highlight the reason for the success of the Romani literary project. The example of Germano shows that the beginning of a national literature depends on the significance and public impact of the literary work of a particular author, and is not necessarily related to the author’s ethnic origin and identity.

Rule-making on the regulation of science is actively developing. Every year, the state authorities adopt an administrative number of acts regulating various aspects of the activities of the scientific community. Often, documents introduce editorial changes, but some of them contain new provisions that significantly change the life of a scientist. For this reason, it is important to always be aware of the current state of the regulatory legal framework on the regulation of science, to understand the agenda of this process. The review contains information on the main regulatory legal acts on the regulation of the scientific and technical sphere for eight months of 2021. The documents are divided into groups according to their legal force: federal laws; decrees of the President of the Russian Federation; acts of the Government of the Russian Federation; departmental regulations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation; recommendations of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

The purpose of the work is to determine the mechanisms of digital mobilization of the party electorate in the Internet. This problem is being updated due to the increasing popularity of the protest agenda among the population of the country, the pandemic of coronavirus infection and, as a result, the popularization of Internet resources, the change in the ways of obtaining new information among Russians in the 20s of the XXI century. As part of the study, the author conducted an expert interview of party workers, SMM-specialists, representatives of the scientific community. Also, the groups of United Russia and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were monitored in VKontakte for the tonality of information and the mechanisms of citizen mobilization presented, using content analysis. As a result of the analysis, the author came to the opinion that the feature of modern digital mobilization in 2021 is the pedaling of «covid» issues. The author identifies two modes of the tonality of mobilization: creative, based on party projects and volunteer movement, and protest, which is based on collective actions against the policies of the party in power. The paper draws conclusions according to which in 2021 the role of social media has changed, if earlier they acted more for the dissemination of information, then in modern realities within the framework of this topic they are used as tools for uniting people and motivating them to collective actions, whether it is voting or taking to the streets (rallies, marches, demonstrations).

Introduction. The actuality of the topic is determined by the emergence of a new institution for Russia – the all-Russian voting, regarding which there is no single interpretation of the scientific community. The reform of the Constitution – amendments in 2020 – solved the urgent questions concerning the value-ideological sphere and also the socio-economic and political ones. The purpose of the article is to determine the justification, effects and perspectives of all-Russian voting as an institution of democracy and a legal institution. We made an attempt to systematically analyze the phenomenon of all-Russian voting and determine its meaning and prospects on the basis of existing regulatory legal acts, scientific developments of sociologists and lawyers. It provides the novelty of the work presented.Methodology and sources. The empirical base of the study is the data of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center poll on the awareness of Russians about the nationwide voting on amendments to the Constitution, as well as the results of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center electoral forecast on 06.23.2020, materials of the official website of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation on the results of the all-Russian vote in 2020. In our work we used the concepts and developments of Russian scientists: Dzidoev R. M., Ilyin V. A., Morev M. V., Khorunzhiy S. N., Khristoforova E. I., Sokolova E. A., Chebotarev G. N. and others. We also used M. Weber’s theory of plebiscite democracy and the theory of social institution. The study used the method of systems analysis and general logical methods.Results and discussion. In connection with the conduct of the all-Russian vote on the approval of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, new regulatory legal acts were adopted. The emergence of the phenomenon of all-Russian voting has caused discussions in the scientific community and in society about the legitimacy and consequences of this political and legal phenomenon. In the article the author examines the sociological aspects of the all-Russian vote as an institution of democracy regarding the validity, nature, causes, consequences and perspectives. Namely, the forecasts of the institutionalization of the all-Russian vote, the features of this manifestation of democracy in relation to other forms of democracy in Russia, its significance for society are touched upon.Conclusion. Russia is a democratic state, and the forms of manifestation of democracy are enshrined in legislation. The all-Russian voting was held in accordance with the regulatory legal acts specially created for its implementation. A new institution of democracy has been formed. The result of voting for amendments to the Constitution showed the level and dynamics of interaction between the state and society, the timeliness of the questions put to the voting. Withal, the introduction of the all-Russian voting in the legal system of Russia and the question of the final institutionalization of the relevant relationship seems unlikely.

Introduction: the protection of minors against sexual violence is one of the main directions of the criminal policy of the Russian Federation. Investigating the issue of struggling against sexual offences committed by persons with a disorder of sexual preference in the form of pedophilia, special attention should be paid to the repetition of the acts by the covered category of persons who served a sentence for committing similar crimes. The appalling statistics confirm the need to take drastic measures to combat the disease we are investigating, as well as excluding the possibility of parole for the category of criminals we are interested in. The purpose of this research is to analyze the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the issues of parole for persons serving sentences for sexual crimes against minors, to study various points of view about the possibility of getting rid of the form of paraphilia that interests us by applying special medical measures, as well as to make suggestions for solving the problem under study. Methods: the methods of induction, analysis and statistical analysis are used. Results: the author’s well-founded position is based on the legislation and the opinion of the scientific community on the issue of excluding the possibility of parole for persons serving a sentence for committing a criminal act that infringes on the sexual integrity of minors. The paper presents the brief conclusions and suggestions for improving the Russian legislation in the field of combating recidivism of the crimes we are studying. Conclusions: we have found that parole for persons serving sentences for committing acts of the category under study often leads to deplorable consequences in the form of committing new violent sexual crimes against minors. And despite the provisions in the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation that complicate the procedure of parole for pedophiles, the number of violent sexual crimes against minors committed by persons who served a sentence for committing a similar crime and are on parole is growing.

Tax experiments have been gaining popularity in the world in recent years. However, in most countries, as in the Russian Federation, there is no formally defined approach to experimental regulation. The process, results, and approach of many experiments are controversial in the scientific community. Based on history, it is possible to determine both the general elements of experiments and the attitude of governments to them, and the signs that influenced the effectiveness of such experiments. In most of the examples reviewed from several countries, the experiments were conducted using almost the same template. Based on the analysis of the history of individual tax experiments, the author draws conclusions about the presence of positive and negative factors common to different countries that affect the effectiveness of conducting, as well as the presence of modern problems and possible ways to solve them.

Since June 1, 2019, in the Russian Federation, along with inheritance by will and hereditary succession, inheritance by inheritance contract is appeared. We emphasize that the rather long periods that have passed from the public announcement of the idea of the inheritance contract, its discussion in the scientific community and at the legislative level, did not save the rules on the inheritance contract from a number of shortcomings and controversy. In this regard, we analyze a number of controversial issues that have arisen in connection with the emergence of an inheritance contract in the system of inheritance law in Russia. We indicate that the place of the inheritance contract in the system of Russian inheritance law is still uncertain. Among other things, we consider the problem of the relationship between an inheritance contract and a will, an inheritance contract and a contract of lifelong maintenance with a dependent. In particular, we note that the fundamental difference between an inheritance contract and a life maintenance contract with a dependent is that the ownership of the property passes at the time of the conclusion of a life maintenance contract with a dependent, and in an inheritance contract – after the death of the testator. The issue of the parties to inheritance contract is also discussed. Based on the legislation analysis, we identify shortcomings in the legal regulation of relations related to the inheritance contract.
