<ul> <li><strong>T</strong>he work was initiated with the aim of assessing the prospects of the Rhine Rift oil potential. The search technique was based on the analysis in basalts of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) which are an indicator of the oil content of deep horizons. Samples of Rocks were taken from Quarry and Outcrops. PAH analysis was carried out at Moscow State University. All samples contain PAH. 11 components detected. The total amount of the components is 0.052834 mg / kg. Rate of 4 components: Naphthalene and homologous, Phenantren, Difenil, Benz (ghi) perylene is equal more a half of all components (58%). Our study revealed the typical association of PAH, which are characteristic of the oil fields: Phenanthrene, Chrysene, Pyrene, Benz(a)pyren. PAH provide evidence of probable former generation and migration of endogenous hydrocarbons. Existence such components as Phenanthrene, Chrysene, Pyrene, Benz(a)pyren pointed on migrations of Hydrocarbons from depth - (From Oil - deposit?). Samples analyzed show on the existence Hydrocarbons migrations of gases and a more Heavy Hydrocarbons. Favorable geological settings of Rhine Rift, such as seismic activity, new tectonic movements, and presence of Basalt, decompressed rocks of mantle, rift stretching mode, and favorable geochemical indications, such as existence of typomorphic oil-associated PAH (Phenanthrene, Chrysene, Pyrene, Benz(a)pyren), presence the components resembling on compositions of Moravia oil, are positive factors for oil discovery in the Rhine Rift. Data received can serve as base for set detail works for seeking cluster of oil! And in the first instance at areas: Bad Urah, Kaizertuhl-Shellinge<strong>n.</strong></li> </ul>

<p>Searching for oil in Germany is an urgent task, since from its own reserves Germany can cover only four percent of the total volume of oil required for the country's economy. In this regard, we have conducted research with the aim of assessing the prospects of the Rhine Rift oil potential. Were analyzed in basalts Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). The PAH Petroleum Association clearly indicates the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in rocks and are an indicator of the oil content of deep horizons. The previous report (EGU2020) highlighted the positive factors of oil   potential in the Rhine Rift. There are favorable geological settings of Rhine Rift, such as seismic activity, new tectonic movements, and presence of basalt, decompressed rocks of mantle, rift stretching mode, and favorable geochemical indications, such as existence of typomorphic oil-associated PAH (Phenanthrene, Chrysene, Pyrene, Benz(a)pyren), presence the components resembling on compositions of Moravia oil . For detailing research conducted mathematical correlation between the non-hydrocarbon components PAH (Naftalen + Homologus, Difenil, Benz (ghi) perylene, Fluorene, Perilen, Antracen, Tetraphen) and hydrocarbon components PAH (Phenanthrene, Pyrene, Chrysene, Benz(a)pyren). Mathematical correlation is 0.041, which is a weak positive relationship on the Chaddock scale. The weak positive relationship between the oil components of PAHs and non-oil components probably indicates that the sources of the oil components of PAHs and non-oil components of PAHs are different. And the source of the oil PAHs is probably the oil fields. Thus the geological-geochemical-mathematical factors point to favorable oil-bearing entrails Rhine Rift<strong>!</strong> For prospecting   cluster of oil   in the first instance recommended at areas: Bad Urah, Kaizertuhl-Shellingen <strong>!</strong></p><p> </p>

The article is devoted to the situation and prospects of humanitarian cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation in the last few years. The author, Senior Lecturer of the Department of History of Post-Soviet Countries, Head of the Laboratory of the Diaspora and Migration History, Deputy Dean, Academic Secretary of the Faculty of History at Lomonosov Moscow State University, shows the evolution of forms and methods in the Russian and Belarusian cooperation in higher education and academic science using various programmes and joint projects of Lomonosov Moscow State University and its Belarusian partners, primarily the Belarusian State University, as an example. The article focuses on various programmes established through the collaboration of the Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University and its partners: the Faculty of History of the Belarusian State University, the Department of Humanities and Arts of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus; it also specially focuses on implementing “The History of Belarusian Diaspora”, the first international joint educational Master Programme of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Belarusian State University opened in the academic year 2019–2020. The author emphasises that, thanks to the mutual experience gained over the years, Russian and Belarusian universities, as well as their national academies of sciences are the driving force behind humanitarian cooperation under the Union State.
