Muslim religious minority in Ukraine: preservation of cultural traditions or political struggle

The article highlights the problem of political manipulation of Muslim religious minorities in the context of preserving their cultural traditions. The author considers the possible risks of an outbreak of Islamic extremism in Ukraine, in the context of European trends and an increase in the percentage of Muslims in the multinational Ukrainian community. The aim of the article was to study the risks arising from the social interaction of the Muslim religious minority with the Christian majority in Ukraine. As the research of recent years is mostly focused on social and political problems of Crimean Tatars, which arose as a result of the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the author draws attention to the level of social activity of migrants from the Middle East arriving in Ukraine. In the context of the events in Crimea and Donbas, there have already been attempts to raise the issue of the growth of extremism and the expansion of the zone of presence of radical forms of Islam. Of course, such separate facts confirm this, and there are places, but to speak about the purposeful Islamization of certain regions of Ukraine, and even more so about the mass examples of the establishment of camps for the training of extremist groups are unfounded. These incidents are unlikely to be considered a serious threat, but the main feature of the Ukrainian mentality, which also extends to Muslims, is the passivity in taking and implementing any actions. Therefore, all manifestations of extremism are exclusively external in nature. Despite the small number of Muslims in Ukraine and until recently their unity, in 2019th there was a new trend  a split. Muslims from Crimea have recently accused Muslims in mainland Ukraine of negative attitudes, discrimination on territorial grounds and neglect of their problems. There is a real threat of excessive politicization of the rights of the Muslim religious minority in Ukraine, which some members of the Crimean Tatar national minority are trying to impose on society. Thus, analyzing the Islamic world in Ukraine, it can be divided into two parts: religious organizations that preserve their cultural traditions, regardless of nationality, and Crimean Tatar religious organizations, which simultaneously wage political and in some cases armed struggle, trying to join the military-political conflict with is separated from the state. Thus, while Islamic fundamentalism poses a fairly high threat to EU countries, there are more serious national security issues for Ukraine today.

Communications and systems in the period socio-cultural modernization of society

The article examines the communication links without which society cannot exist, but they are constantly changing, depending on various factors, including the social structure of society, social space, level of socio-economic development, government and governance, democracy and current laws that constantly affect the modernization of society. The history of mankind is 35-40 thousand years old. In each historical period, society was at a certain stage of development, which created the appropriate socio-cultural level, which in one way or another influenced the communication in society, because without communication society can not exist. It should be noted that the socio-cultural level depends on the social structure of society, and is determined by the social space and level of cultural development in this historical time, as well as the political and economic development of the country and its environment by other countries. Society is a set of all means of interaction and forms of association of people, formed historically, having a common territory, common cultural values and social norms, characterized by socio-cultural the identity of its members. Social space was understood as a set of points on an imaginary continuum that has a given number of axes of measurement (coordinates) that describe the structure of society. Points in the social space are called statuses." There are constant information connections (communications) between the statuses. It is these communicative connections that create a certain system through which society develops. Well-known foreign scientists such as T. Hobbes, F. Ratzel, G. Simmel, E. Durkheim, R. Park, P. Sorokin, and others worked on the problem of "social space". This topic remains relevant today, because a certain historical period creates certain conditions for certain social phenomena. This topic remains relevant today, because a certain historical period creates certain conditions for certain social phenomena. Thus, the purpose of this article is to try to understand the communication changes that are taking place in society today and identify the factors that affect them. As you know, in society there are constant processes of socialization, people are constantly trying to learn about the environment: both natural and social. Especially a person tries to know and understand himself, because until you understand yourself, you will not be able to understand others. In Ukraine, it is planned to create a post-traditional socio-cultural space in which modernization takes place under the sign of traditional symbols. But in our society, "community-like" psychology is combined with urbanism and technical progress, traditional, post-traditional and modern coexist with some relative independence of culture. All this creates certain communicative features. Important features of the new socio-cultural reality are beginning to be outlined in Ukraine today.

The sience and art of moral responsibility for the future

The article is devoted to the actual problem of the probable future of our civilization and the moral responsibility of mankind for it. In the twentieth century, humanity was actually faced with the threat of man-made destruction of life on the planet. The tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with great severity raised the question not only about the morality of science, but also the personal responsibility of the scientist for his discoveries. In particular, in 1955, the Einstein-Russell Manifesto was signed, which initiated the widely known Pahous Movement for Peace and Disarmament. Art has responded to the nuclear threat. In 1950, R. Bradbury's story "There Will Be a Graceful Rain" was published. One of the first to address the subject of doomsday was American filmmakers: R. Weiss («The Day the Earth Stalle», 1951), S. Kramer («On the Shore», 1959), S. Kubrick («Doctor Stranzhla», 1964), S. Lumet («Security System», 1964). The idea of moral responsibility of each person for his future was raised on the Soviet screen in the films: «The Escape of Mr. McKinley» (1975, M. Schweitzer), «Sacrifice» (1986, A. Tarkovsky), «Letters of the Dead Man» (1986, K. Lopushansky), «Visitor to the Museum» (1989, K. Lopushansky). It was in the 1970s and 1980s that they became a painful awareness of the insecurity and fragility of human life. It has become clear that nuclear energy can be not only a policy or an economy, but above all a tool of self-destruction. It has been scientifically justified that the greatest threat to humanity lies not where it was not expected. Nuclear war is not only the mass destruction of people, total destruction, radiation, infectious diseases, etc. The main danger is the climate change of the planet, changes in the biosphere (the effect of nuclear winter), which humanity will not be able to survive. marked by a painful awareness of the insecurity and fragility of human life. But today, the biosphere is threatened not only by human waste, environmental pollution, but also by the gradual destruction of the natural environment, the frantic depletion of natural resources, etc. The main thing that threatens our civilization is moral irresponsibility to posterity. What has to happen for humanity to realize the danger of indifference? Personal responsibility for the future of everyone and everyone for the future of everyone is the main principle of survival. The eminent philosopher M. Berdyaev wrote: «The end of the world depends on man, and he will be one way or another, depending on the actions of man... The greatest religious and moral truth to which a man must grow is that he cannot be saved alone. My salvation also involves the salvation of others, my loved ones, the salvation of the whole world, the transformation of the world».

Features of the representations of Ukrainian identity in the visual content of popular telegram channels

In the article had been considered the features of the representations of Ukrainian identity in the visual content of 5 most popular Telegram-channels («Ukraine 24/7»; «Ukraine now», «Ukraine Online», «TSN», «Insider UA»). Two groups of its markers had been determineted – Political Identity (combination of blue-yellow colors, national banner or emblem (trident) as the center of the image or the dominant background) and Military (man and women in Ukrainian military uniforms, weapons and military equipment) In fact, the share of which markers had been highest than formally 2–3% of the total visual content for every group. The first group, which embodies the civic and political identity, had been determineted as a leading Its spread had been explained by the direction of the current government's domestic policy on «citizens of Ukraine» who were not differentiated according to geopolitical and value preferences. The production of Military markers had been explained by the continuing relevance of military news in the context of the undeclared war between Russia and Ukraine. It also reflects the state of partial military mobilization of public consciousness over the past 6 years. The broadcast of such images in the Telegram had been detached from its traditional basis – a real, ethnically charged identity. Whose identification characteristics (uniform, chevrons, stripes, awards, badges on military equipment) had been not brought to the center of image. On the basis of previous researches of the author had been noted that another – ethnically charged level of Ukrainian identity was more widely represented on social networks Facebook and Instagram. There Ukraine was associated with a woman in a national costume or an image of a field with ripe wheat or sunflower. The greater share of accompanying military images (14% of the total visual array in Facebook communities), the presence in their visual content of a special female military (3%) did not really change the narrative «Ukraine as a woman does not want war». In these communication channels had been found the only common present day symbol of Ukraine, both visual and memorial, – the images of the Independence Monument on the square of the same name in Kiev. This clearly demonstrates the incompleteness of Ukraine’s postmodernization processes, including at the area of values, cultural memory and the hierarchy of identities.

Theoretical views on the concept of «acquisition of membership» in the sociology of organizations

The article reveals the theoretical basis for the development of the concept of «membership in organizations». In sociology, the term "membership" is used in a broad (member of society) and narrow (member of a formal organization) sense. At the level of professional, totalitarian and bureaucratic organizations as social segments, membership is modified as «belonging status», organizational identity, subordination and involvement. Certain value principles are revealed, the formal implementation of which is guarded by the statute and the oath. Organizations decide, on the one hand, on the acquisition and termination of membership, and on the other on the transfer of members to various positions in the organization. Acquisition of membership turns the individual into a component of staff, which becomes the object of organizational decisions. The macro-sociological concepts of F.Tönnies, M.Duverger, T.Parsons, M.Olson present membership as a formal-bureaucratic procedure with limited and open access. Admission to the group, the organization is a preliminary investigation and establishment of the ethical value of the applicant and receipt after testing and testing of the approbation as a «full». Joining the organization or gaining membership in it is a complex procedure of social cooperation, mutual consent. You can join a closed organization only after a long probationary period and serious recommendations from the responsible guarantors, even passing an examination and filtration commission, providing evidence of sincerity and firmness of intention. There are groups with limited and open access, but the process of joining and leaving the group is determined by the nature of the goal that the group wants to achieve, not by some characteristics of membership. Thus, pressure groups (lobbying organizations) attract participants partly through subtle forms of coercion, and partly through the provision of selective incentives (legal and financial advice, advocacy of members of associations before the judiciary and law enforcement agencies). With the acquisition of membership in one organization, the individual receives formal isolation from a member of another organization. Members of a particular organization can be recognized by symbols (flag, emblem, slogan, etc.). Any organization can set its own restrictions or qualifications: age, availability of written recommendations, entrance fees. Active participation in membership not only deepens the experience of the individual and expands the potential of the organization, but expands its influence within the community, involving a wider segment of the community in organizational activities.

Ukrainian folk songs of the stormy years (songs of captivity of the Second World War)

The article covers the complex processes of folk art during the Second World War, in particular slave poetry. In times of war, the creation of folk poetry is intensified, which is caused by the need to respond to events, to record them, above all, in memory. These song responses to events take place on the material of "old" samples of poetry that are already known. And «innovations» are used by participants of events and are saturated with new realities. Such is the folk song of the period of fascist captivity during the Second World War. The genesis of the poetry of captivity of the studied period can be traced on a large factual material, it is proved that genetically slave poetry of the period of the Second World War is connected with the cries of slaves and has its roots in the long history of Ukraine. These motives are still heard in the old Cossack thoughts, in which the lamentation gradually turns into a lyrical song. And during the war troubles of the twentieth century, these songs became relevant and sounded in a modern way. The article analyzes recordings of songs that reflect the grief of young girls taken to forced labor in Germany, the suffering of mothers who lose their children. Most of the analyzed works are stored in the funds of the IMFE of Ukraine, as well as in the own records of the authors of the article. The folklore of captivity, according to the authors of the article, fully reflects the deep universal feelings. It is the basis of artistic culture, because the socio-pragmatic world is conditioned by spiritual ideas about its integrity and ideals.
