The paper discusses the situation of confessional associations in the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Tatar during the period of mass political repressions de in the late 1930s. The methodological basis was the civilizational approach, as well as the principles of objectivity, historicism, and social focus, which allowed the most effective development of the issue raised. The specificity of the period and the object of study are determined by the heyday of Stalinist repression and religious consciousness, which was carried by believers and clergy, and was not correlate with communist ideology. The very fact of the existence of the aforementioned believers and the clergy and the presence of Orthodox churches, mosques, Catholic churches and functioning religious buildings of other religions was fundamentally in line with the goals and objectives that the state authorities established during this period. By way of conclusion, the authors provide detailed statistical information (in support of their scientific arguments and conclusions) on the dynamics of the number of prayer buildings in the republic during the study period and at the same time account of the general conditions of mass repression that characterize the historical context.

In the article, on the basis of archival documents, the features of official, institutionalized religiosity of Transbaikal Buryats in the second half of the 1950s - early 1960s are characterized. The author says that at present the problem stated in the title of the article is practically not studied. Transbaikalia at the time in question is the territory of two subjects of the RSFSR, the Buryat-Mongolian (Buryat) Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the Chita region. Data on the religiosity of the population of Transbaikalia, in the period under review, can be obtained mainly from the reports of the authorized Councils for religious cults and the affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church, and since 1965, the Council for religious affairs under the Council of Ministers of the USSR. The degree of religiosity of society can be assessed by two components: institutionalized one - officially registered religious institutions, such as religious associations, priests and existing buildings of religious purpose, and non-institutionalized one, i.e. unofficial religious structures. Markers of the measurement of the religious component are: the number of registered religious associations, buildings of religious purpose, priests, their territorial location, the number of registered believers-parishioners, the amounts received from different sources for the needs of religious associations, sacred places, pilgrimages, etc. For the Buryat population of Transbaikalia, religiosity was manifested, for the most part, in the Northern branch of Buddhism - Lamaism. It is noted that, despite the serious antireligious orientation of the Soviet government, the Buryat population largely remained religious. There were registered religious associations, religious buildings, there was a significant number of parishioners.

This article, based on archival documents, reveals resettlement processes in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1932–34, which were conditioned by the repressive policy of the Soviet power. The process of resettlement into those regions of the Soviet Ukraine where the population died from hunger most, and which was approved by the authorities, is described in detail. It is noted that about 90,000 people moved from the northern oblasts of the Ukrainian SSR to the southern part of the republic. About 127,000 people arrived in Soviet Ukraine from the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (BSSR) and the western oblasts of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). The material conditions of their residence and the reasons for the return of settlers to their previous places of inhabitance are described. I conclude that the resettlement policy of the authorities during 1932–34 changed the social and national composition of the eastern and southern oblasts of Ukraine.

The article is devoted to nation-building in Kazakhstan in the first years of Soviet power. It is noted that significant attention in this process was given to the languages of the titular nations as official languages. The authors made an attempt to present the formation of legal guarantees for the functioning of the Kazakh and Russian languages of the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and their use in the state apparatus of the republic. The study is based on legislative acts and documents of 1917-1924 with the involvement of archival materials. The authors examined practical steps of korenization (nativization) with respect to party and Soviet administrative structures and transition to paperwork in two state languages in the KASSR. The article reflects the main problems of the implementation of language legislation and percentage korenization as a policy aimed at the formation of national management personnel and solving the problems of serving the population of Kazakhstan in their native language. The problems of introducing office work in the language of the titular nation of material, personnel, mental and other nature are investigated. The authors drew attention to the failure of the attempts of the Soviet state to quickly create an administrative apparatus in the KASSR from national personnel and introduce paperwork in the Kazakh language, as well as to the fact that the Soviet leadership understood this. The study shows the reasons for a significant revision of the korenization policy in the USSR and Soviet Kazakhstan, as well as the introduction of office work in the national language since 1926. Among the positive achievements of the Soviet regime, the creation of strong legal guarantees for the functioning of the Kazakh and Russian languages as the state languages of Kazakhstan of the studied period, as well as the partial korenization of the administrative apparatus of Kazakhstan as a result of targeted and progressive steps of the Soviet state to create national personnel, were noted.

In February 1944, as the victorious Red Army was preparing to clear the Nazi German forces from the rest of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, a surprise official announcement stunned the population. The radio and the newspapers announced amendments to the Soviet constitution, which would enable the union republics to establish their own armies and maintain diplomatic relations with foreign states. While the Kremlin did not elaborate on the reasons for such a reform, Radianska Ukraina, the republic's official newspaper, proceeded to hail the announcement as “a new step in Ukrainian state building.” Waxing lyrical, the paper wrote that “every son and every daughter of Ukraine” swelled with national pride upon learning of the new rights that had been granted to their republic. In reality, the public was confused. In Ukraine's capital, Kiev, the secret police recorded details of rumors to the effect that the USA and Great Britain had forced this reform on Stalin and that Russians living in Ukraine would be forced to assimilate or to leave the republic. Even some party-appointed propagandists erred in explaining that the change was necessitated by the fact that Ukraine's “borders have widened and [it] will become an independent state.”

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the functioning of the Russian Red Cross society on the territory of the Buryat-Mongol Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1941–1945. In the article, the author reveals the main areas of activity of the regional Red Cross society, which included training of personnel for sanitary work (nurses, orderlies, squads); assistance in the deployment and further operation of evacuation hospitals; participation in the organisation of military medical trains and care for the wounded; preparation of donor blood; training the population to provide first aid; assistance to health authorities in carrying out educational and educational work on sanitary defence. In addition, various forms of activity of the population itself in obtaining medical skills, especially the youth of the republic, have been analysed. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that a number of previously unpublished sources are put into circulation, collected directly for this study. This made it possible to highlight some details that previously could not be reflected in other works. As a result of the study, it was determined that the activities of the regional society adhered to the main directions of the work of the Russian Red Cross Society and, despite the difficulties that arose, was quite effective in a difficult wartime.

This article attempts to show how public opinion about Roma was formed on the pages of the republican press in the 60s and 70s of the XX century. It is known that a set of political attitudes relevant to Soviet society was propagated through the media in the 60s and 70s. At the same time, the media, the press in particular, had certain ideological guidelines for presenting information. The content of this information was aimed not only at selective reflection of socio-cultural reality, but also at creating by means of culture an ideal image of a new person and new social relations, convenient for the political system. In the present article, we will try to show the “presence” of Roma and their problems, reflected in the republican press of Moldova in the 60s–70s of the XX century. In fact, it is about how a whole block of social problems was touch upon and solved in the periodicals, while the interests of the Roma population, living in the republic, were not considered separately. Within the framework of this study, an attempt was made to formulate a hypothesis related to the extent to which the “Roma issue”, as it is presented today all over the world, has been included in a number of national issues that need to be addressed

This author examines the activities of Soviet party-state bodies in the field of propaganda among the population in the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (North Ossetia) during the Great Patriotic War. Propaganda is effective when its message is deeply rooted in the consciousness of the population group to which it is addressed. For this reason the media and the organizations of oral propaganda of North Ossetia sought to get the most accurate information on the particular group that was called upon to fulfill wartime tasks. The author used various types of sources, including documents from the Central State Archive of the Republic of North Ossetia that are here first introduced into scientific circulation. The paper identifies the directions of party-state bodies in organizing propaganda on the territory of the republic in 1941-1945, and it assesses the degree of their effectiveness. While the outbreak of the war led to an expansion of propaganda, there was an acute shortage of specialists in various fields of life, including in propaganda work among the civilian population. The paper reveals the main methods of forming the image of the enemy by propaganda bodies and the media. The author concludes that the activities of the propaganda apparatus in the republic during the War had a direct impact on public consciousness and contributed to the consolidation of the region's population in the fight against the enemy, and to overcoming the difficulties of the War years.

The article is devoted to the genesis of the investigative experiment as an independent investigative (search) action. The author analyzes the historical stages of origin, development, and determination of the place of the investigative experiment in the system of procedural actions in Ukraine. It is noted that the investigative experiment as a way to verify the evidence arose in the practice of pre-trial investigation. And then it became the object of study of legal science research. It is noted that the basis of the investigative experiment is the use of the method of scientific research method – testing to verify certain information. This is a sign of the introduction of truly scientific methods in the activities of law enforcement agencies. In this way the obtained evidence is given signs of belonging and admissibility. The testimony of the participants in the criminal proceedings and the investigative versions are checked by conducting an investigative experiment. Thus the reliability of the received information and the maintenance of a criminal offense is established. That is why the investigative experiment became widespread in the pre-trial investigation. Investigative experiment is a way to verify and to obtain evidence, but one of the most complex in its preparation and content. It is established that there is no detailed clear historical periodization of this procedural institution. The article compares the content of art. 194 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic dated 28.12.1960 «Reproduction of the situation and circumstances of the event» from art. 240 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine dated 13.04.2012 «Investigative experiment». The conclusion that the investigative experiment is an independent investigative (investigative) action is substantiated, but some questions concerning its conduct remain ambiguous. Currently, this is the basis for discussions, which indicates the relevance of this procedural institution and its development.
