The empirical data are the results of the scientific and applied research "The Tatar language in the multilingual education system of the Republic of Tatarstan", conducted in 2024. This article examines the issues of the implementation of bilingual and multilingual education in Tatarstan through the description of the vision of teachers of the Tatar language of multilingual and non-multilingual educational organizations of various aspects of the introduction of ideas of polylingualism into the education system, the degree of its relevance for the preservation and development of the Tatar language.

The article examines the phenomenon of Yakut cinema as a form of symbolic production and a mechanism of representation of the cultural identity of the Sakha people in the post-Soviet period. Considering the Yakut film boom as a socio-cultural phenomenon, the author relies on the theoretical approaches of Pierre Bourdieu (the concept of symbolic capital and cultural field) and Benedict Anderson (imagined communities). Attention is paid to the role of traditional epic, soundscape and national language in the formation of this phenomenon. Yakut cinema is considered as a modern medium of collective memory, contributing to the preservation and reproduction of the subjectivity of the ‘imagined community’. It also analyses the institutional conditions for the formation of Yakut cinema, in particular, independent regional distribution as a mechanism of cultural autonomy. It is concluded that regional cinema is capable of acting as an autonomous cultural field that mobilises the community's internal resources, forms collective memory, and supports local identity.
The article reveals the attitude of city residents to representatives of three Gypsy groups living in Tyumen, to their culture and traditions. Representatives of the Gypsy ethnic group continue to be quite closed and insular communities, which is due to the continuing socio-cultural traditions of the Gypsies, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to stereotypes that have developed under the influence of the media. These and other factors do not contribute to their integration into modern society. A quantitative survey using a standardized questionnaire was defined as a research method; a quota sampling scheme was implemented. The total sample size of the survey was 532 respondents in 2025 and 502 respondents in 2025. The results of the research revealed heterogeneity of assessments on most questions characterizing the attitude towards representatives of Roma communities; in the coming years, an increase in positive assessments of public opinion towards representatives of the Roma population and their socio-cultural traditions can be expected

PHILOSOPHY
The problem of ideology is timeless, or rather, it is caused by the very fact of the existence of the state as a concrete historical phenomenon. This is not only one of the eternal questions of philosophy, but also an actual modern aspect of any social phenomenon. The surrounding reality is subject to objective changes under the direct influence of ideological practices. In turn, ideology is a product of spiritual production as a result of the activity of public consciousness. Getting acquainted with the events of the past from the history of social groups and peoples, we can observe how the social masses were captured by the ideas of the central elite and acted according to the will of the interests of the minority. Under the influence of ideology, the consciousness of the individual is undergoing a transformation in order to integrate social views into a unified picture of the world. The key thesis of our research is that with the help of the ideology project, social reality can transform the transition from an objective original to the creation of a new reality claiming the place of the original. This is not a simple simulation, as the new product is the result of practical interaction between subjects of ideological relations. To confirm our thesis, it will be necessary to analyze the key aspects of the essence of ideology in order to understand the main reasons for the transformation of the surrounding world. This problem is becoming more relevant due to the widespread spread of the industry of mass culture products under the influence of the development of information and neural network technologies. With the help of digital tools, humanity has the opportunity to generate original virtual realities, which will soon begin to claim the status of objective reality, and subsequently recreate new forms of ideology.
The article critically examines the paternalistic model of assistance in the context of modern cultural, technological, and ethical transformations. The author explores the contradictions of classical paternalism, based on the "subject–object" hierarchy, and alternative approaches emphasizing joint agency. Using an interdisciplinary methodology (poststructuralism, Karen Barad’s intra–action theory, Bruno Latour’s actor–network theory), the study reveals the role of technologies, such as AI diagnostics, in reviving paternalistic practices. Special attention is paid to epistemic injustice, dehumanization of medical interactions, and resistance through self–help. The conclusion highlights the need to integrate technological progress with an ethics of reciprocity and horizontal solidarity to preserve the humanistic dimension of care.

The article attempts to analyze various management situations of introducing values and humanitarian technologies into management rationality as different, often opposite, ways of crisis management. The contextuality of the meanings of the concept “value” and the connection between value issues and the analysis of various types of rationality are analyzed. The syncretism of values and technologies in anti-crisis management in an organization is described. Value is designated here as an element of corporate culture, as reasons and motives for certain organizational behavior. Here, values are interpreted in an instrumental-rational context. Attention is drawn to the fact that in social and public administration, value can be associated with value rationality and contrasted with technologies, including humanitarian ones. The objectification of values determines the value rationality of crisis management; it is often in demand for the purposes of social consolidation, but the real content of management practice turns out to be instrumental-technical rationality, integrating the value aspect of management through social and humanitarian technologies. It is shown how values and technologies can mutually converge into instrumental-technological rationality.

REVIEW ARTICLES
The article analyzes two versions of system analysis as a methodological tool for studying the transport system of a large city. Attention is paid to such sources of systems thinking as the system-activity theory of T. Parsons and the theory of systems by N. Luhmann. The prospects of using N. Luhmann's theoretical approach to the analysis of the transport system as a set of all social communications, as an autopoietic system, are determined.
