The subject of this research is the typological groups of urban estates in Astrakhan of the late XVIII – early XX centuries. The object is the peculiarities of urban estates in Russia of that time. The goal lies in studying the urban estates in Astrakhan of the late XVIII – early XX centuries from the perspective of their classification. The article touches upon the question of phenomenology of the Russian estate, the architecture and typology of urban estates in the Russian province, as well as the architecture of urban estates in Astrakhan. The research employs the general scientific method (analysis of the historical and logical), historical-architectural approach, and art history techniques for studying estates in urban environment and photographic evidence. The author also attracts historical references, archival and other documents on the topic. The theoretical framework is comprised of the works of M. B. Mikhaylova and E. I. Kirichenko on the estate construction in Russian cities; T. V. Vavilonskaya and G. G. Nugmanova on the classification of urban estates. The scientific novelty lies in outlining the typological groups of urban estates of Astrakhan from the perspective of their architectural and artistic characteristics, as well as social rank of the lords. It is established that the urban estates of Astrakhan are divided into wealthy estates of the merchants that are an artistic phenomena in the architectural image of the city; prosperous and middle-class of the merchants and officials oriented towards eclectic architecture; wooden estates of modest merchants and philistines that carry certain artistic value. The practical importance of this research consists in contribution to the creation of the holistic picture of the development of Astrakhan architecture.

Under modern conditions of the development of the tourist market, the competition between tourist destinations is increasing, therefore, the factor of tourists’ attraction and the investment is brand. Although Kharkiv has all the necessary resources to become a leader in the development of tourism in Ukraine, the city does not have the correct positioning – the brand. The subject of research of the article is the creation of a tourism brand of Kharkiv. The goal is to create a competitive tourism brand for the city domination at the tourist market, attracting visitors and foreign investment. The objectives are to analyse the concepts of "brand", "territorial brand" and "brand of the city", to define the goals, tasks and functions of the city brand, to describe the features of the city brand development, to analyse the existing Kharkiv brands and to create the new brand of the city. General scientific methods are used, such as systematic approach – to determine the terms, goals, tasks and functions of the city brand, structural analysis – to characterize existing city brands, analytics and statistical methods – to analyze the resource availability, literary method used for all aspects of the article. The following results were obtained: on the basis of the analysis, the concepts of "brand", "territorial brand" and "brand of the city", methods of its development were determined and the new competitive brand of the city of Kharkov was developed. Conclusions: the existing brands of the city Kharkiv do not reflect the whole essence of the place and do not make the city as attractive as possible for tourists; a new competitive entertainment-based brand has been created taking into account all the shortcomings of the previous ones and, therefore, it can be concluded that the new brand can be successful with further use.

Purpose. Discussion regarding the development potential of large cities with respect to the idea of slow tourism, especially in the context of designated areas of specific city districts. References were made to the city of Cracow. Method. Analysis of literature on the subject made references to issues related to the idea of slow movement with respect to cities (slow city) and tourism (slow tourism). Analysis of Cracow’s case, in the context of the establishment of a slow district which is scheduled in the city, allowed for practical references with respect to the discussed issue. Findings. The performed analyses showed the complexity of the issue of slow movement, but also its attractiveness for large cities and tourists (e.g. on account of environmental protection). However, popularisation of the idea of slow movement also entails risks, especially related to its mass character and, in effect, its commercialisation. Research and conclusion limitations. Analysis of literature on the subject only referred to a fragment of the issue and case analysis focused on only one municipal centre. Practical implications. References were made to specific binding tasks from the Tourism Development Strategy of Cracow. Originality. References were made to a large municipal centre which, in the context of the slow movement idea, is a rare subject of academic papers. The subject matter was connected to specific examples of slow districts, planned in the strategic document for Cracow. Type of paper. Overview-type article and case study.

The subject of this research is the role of euphemisms in political communication. The goal of this article is to establish the functional role of euphemisms in public speeches of the US politicians based on the texts of speeches for the period 2020 – 2021. Research methodology relies on the provisions of linguorhetoric, namely the functional role of lexicon within the framework of a particular speech genre. The article employs the general scientific method, systematization and generalization, content analysis, discursive analysis, method of continuous sampling, and linguostylistic analysis. It is determined that the use of euphemisms in speeches of the IS politicians for the period 2020 – 2021 performs the following functions: manipulative, veiling the reality, self-positioning. In public speech, the important factors are politeness and delicacy for maintaining and promoting communication. It is noted that politics is the sphere that requires using a variety of euphemisms. The mechanisms of euphemization are based on the inaccuracy of speech, ambiguity, and generalized nomination of the object. Practical importance of this research consists in the fact that its results can be implemented in rhetoric courses, as well as in preparation of public speeches. The scientific novelty lies in establishment of the functional role of euphemistic nominations based on public speeches of the US politicians for 2021.

The subject of the research is the establishment and application of official awards at the municipal level of government, including award legislation and the practice of its application. The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis of an existence of an award policy and system of awards for the municipal level of government in Russia. The methodological basis of the research is the general scientific dialectical method of cognition (such as methods of analysis and synthesis, abstraction and concretization, induction, deduction and analogy), as well as the method of monitoring of legal acts, historical and legal method, system analysis. The main results of the research. A comprehensive analysis of existing regulations and description the general contours of the award policy for the municipal level of government were made. The following classification of awards applicable to municipal authorities can be distinguished. By type of award: honorary titles, medals, distinctions and incentives, as well as grants and prizes. Depending on the subject that establishes the award: state, municipal or public awards; moreover, you should distinguish between awards established by a public legal entity (award of the Russian Federation, of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a municipality) or a separate public authority. Depending on the subject receiving the award (the awarding subject): awards that are established both for the municipality as a whole, and for individual officials or other employees of local self-government bodies; a separate category consists of awards provided for the territorial bodies or their representatives. Currently, there is no single document outlining the system of awards of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. Monitoring of normative legal acts of local self-government bodies has shown that it is quite rare to find documents that regulate the award policy of a municipality. There is practically no award policy for local government bodies or their officials, as well as awards for contributions to the development of local self-government.

The genesis and current condition of scientific approaches to defining methods in criminalistics are considered. It is noted that, despite the significant importance for the formation of the methodology of criminalistics science, no separate doctrine of its methods has been created yet. Conversely, scientists offer different definitions and classification constructions of methods of this science. There is not always a justifiable division of criminalistics methods into research methods and methods of practical activity. It is emphasized that the introduction of a single, unified, consistent classification of methods in criminalistics science is a prerequisite for the further effective scientific research in this area of knowledge and the solution of praxeological tasks in the activity of judicial investigative bodies, expert institutions, operational units. Finding out established approaches to the classification of methods in science of criminalistics will contribute to the final formation of the modern scientific criminalistics paradigm. In view of the results of the analysis of scientific approaches, it is proposed to divide the methods in forensics into two varieties, using the following terms: 1) methods of criminalistics that means methods of studying the subject of research of this field of knowledge, carrying out scientific research; 2) criminalistics methods, that is, the optimal methods of action of authorized subjects that are the result of the conducted research and recommended for practical use. Methods of criminalistics should be grouped into the following levels: philosophical, general scientific (methods of empirical research, methods of theoretical research, general logical methods), separate scientific (special) (borrowed, transformed, especially criminalistics). In turn, forensic methods can be divided into: methods of collecting, recording and investigating evidence; methods of using forensic and special techniques; methods of conducting individual investigative (search) actions; methods of designing and testing investigators, court, expert versions and construction of forecasting models, etc. The above points out that in the forensic scientific knowledge there is a complex, dynamic, subordinated system of numerous methods of different levels, spheres of action, directions, which are realized taking into account specific conditions and subject of research. At the same time, this system is open and constantly updated with new methods as a result of their development and renewing.

Outline and articulate the specifics of each of the listed interior styles. Create the ability to correctly set the interior to the style specified by matching the dominant characteristic. The method of field surveys of public institutions of the city of Lviv and general scientific methods were used. Literature sources on the topic of the study are considered in accordance with the methods of comparative analysis. The systematization of the material is based on the techniques of analysis, synthesis and analogies as well. Based on the literature review of approaches to the classification of interiors in considered styles have been identified; the lack of uniform interpretation of their features was established. At the same time, the existence of a peculiar identity of their perception in the scientific literature was confirmed. Samples of modern interiors of Lviv restaurants are considered and their style is demonstrated. The concept of the existence of a key characteristic for each of the styles is substantiated, which allows them to better determine their belonging to a particular style, in particular: fusion - a blend of modern and antique; eclecticism - a mixture of interior elements of historical styles without the use of modern elements; kitsch - an imitation of the essence of space and lack of environmental approach. It is to determine the dominant characteristic for attributing the interior to one of these styles. For greater efficiency, the focus is on the formation of one dominant trait, rather than a complex system of indicators and characteristics. The author's dominant attributes make it possible to classify the interior style more efficiently, which leads to better communication between the designer and the customer, and promotes better understanding in the environment of the professional community of interior designers.

The subject. The article is devoted to different methods of constitutional conflicts resolution, classification of constitutional conflicts, genesis of constitutional conflict diagnostics theory as a system of different measures for constitutional conflicts prevention.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that methods of constitutional conflicts resolution and prevention may be classified by different bases.The methodology of the study includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, description) as well as sociological and economic approaches. The main results and scope of their application. The author describes different groups of conflict resolution methods, it’s types and system. The optimal way to resolve the constitutional conflict is systematic application of the following principles: 1) the legality of measures; 2) priority of human and civil rights and freedoms; 3) ultimo ratio (last resort); 4) proportionality of measures; 5) the effectiveness of measures, aimed at resolving the constitutional conflict. Conclusions. Constitutional conflicts are resolved by special legal methods. Depending on the enforceability of such methods for the conflicting parties, such methods can be classified into: - enforcement methods, that are based on the constitutional power of legal enforcement to be applied to one side of the conflict by the other party or by the actor of the constitutional-legal conflict (measures of constitutional enforcement, the mechanism of checks and balances); - cooperative methods, which are understood as mechanisms for resolving constitutional conflicts, enshrined in the norms of constitutional law and based on cooperation, mutual assistance of the parties to the conflict on a parity basis (various forms of coordination, such as negotiations, mediation, conciliation). Methods and mechanisms of conflicts prevention are not the part of methods of resolving constitutional conflicts, since the first methods are applied before the appearance of constitutional and legal conflicts. A constitutional conflict diagnostics as a method of constitutional conflict prevention is based on risk management system and represents a system of legal and organizational measures, aimed at identifying risks of constitutional conflicts and legal monitoring.
