The article offers the author's methodology for narrative analysis of media texts with a focus on the youth audience. A theoretical review of sociological approaches to the study of narrative is conducted, and the need to develop the author's view of the analytics of digital fields is substantiated. A methodology combining storytelling techniques with history, social context, and the embeddedness of human experience in the digital narrative is proposed. The method of multifactor evaluation by questioning focus groups on semiotic, aesthetic and axeological parameters is considered to investigate the characteristics of the impact on the audience. The author's proposed method of narrative analysis was tested on the original educational media project «Feshin. Muses».

The article analyzes the increasing role of geopolitics in the modern world in the 2020s, in conditions of degradation of the ideal parameters of the political process (ideology, axiology). In these conditions, demographic parameters of Russian Federation such as the natural and mechanical movement of the population, its density and dispersion, the ratio of generations, and ethnic and confessional characteristics are of particular importance. The authors substantiate the impact of demographic factors on the country's resources and on the socio-political life of the country. The possibilities of optimizing the demographic structure for strengthening the country, in particular, orientation to the end age of a healthy life, comparison of minimum benefits and pensions with the subsistence minimum, identification of vector differences in measures of social support for motherhood and the elderly, are revealed.

The authors reveal the role in the modern world of such geographical parameters of countries and civilizations as their size and resources, climate (which also affects the socio-economic specifics of the country), the relief of the surface and borders. The influence of geographical factors on the country's resources, and the dynamics of these factors, in particular, global warming, on geopolitics and socio-economics in Western and Russian civilizations are substantiated. The article shows how the social and political attitude and behavior of the population of a country depends on the spatial distribution of natural and natural-social geosystems and their elements: the predominance of forests, steppes, soil types, the presence of reservoirs (bays and rivers – both leading to the open ocean and inland); the location of settlements and development ground infrastructure

The article analyzes the role in the modern world of such geographical parameters of countries and civilizations as location, free access to the seas and its substitutes, land corridors. The influence of these factors on the geostrategic capabilities of the country is substantiated, and the dynamics of such parameters, in particular, the movement of the Russian world from "borderism" to irredentism, on the political consciousness and behavior of the main civilizations. The achievements and failures of the Anglo-Saxon thalassocracies (with their colonies and semi-colonies) in the struggle against the union of tellurocracies of the middle Powers (with the return of their freedom of access to the world ocean and the return of their irredentity) are shown. The possibilities and problems of the formation of continental defense (China and the Russian Federation, the CSTO, Treaties with a number of unrecognized states), the loss of national interests of the land FRG and the reorientation of the Russian Federation to the East and South are revealed.

The article contains a calculation of the share of support for political entities exercising passive suffrage separately in traditional and remote voting. This analysis reveals whether there is a correlation between the results of voting on two separate forms. The synthesis of two forms of voting leads to the formulation of sociological hypotheses regarding electoral behavior in remote electronic voting. In the course of the analysis, a comparative analysis of the results of the expression of the will of voters in the traditional and remote form is carried out. It is necessary to determine whether the percentages of support for certain political forces in traditional and remote voting coincide, or there is no correlation between the two forms, therefore, there are sociological hypotheses associated with various social groups that have differences in preference for one of the two forms of voting. Based on the results of the study, quantitative data are presented that demonstrate the differences in the results of voting for certain political forces in the traditional and remote ways. For the implementation of future research, the author's hypotheses are presented that explain the differences in the results of remote and traditional voting. Confirmation or refutation of hypotheses can serve as an object of potential research.

The article attempts to determine the possibility of advertising not only to transmit information about a product or service, but also its ability to broadcast values and their formation among the younger generation. For this purpose, the data of two studies are presented – a survey of students regarding their life orientations and a content analysis of the content of commercials on television. When comparing changes in quantitative indicators, taking into account the level of trust and perception of advertising, the authors suggest that there is a connection between the basic vital values of an individual and a group used in advertising plots and the accepted life values of the younger generation

The modern society of the XXI century is now considered by researchers as "informational", "digital". The development of new technologies, the transformation of information and communication processes, the total consumption of content leads to an urgent need for a systematic study of the current state of media consumption of young people and the media environment as a whole. Based on the results of the analysis, a conclusion is made about the rapid development of a new communication space, which suggests that digital transformation cannot be limited to the introduction of technologies — in its process, a new culture of consumption and behavior of young people will inevitably be formed. As part of the transformation of media consumption, it is worth noting another feature, the media audience is no longer homogeneous, which makes it necessary to allocate more precise criteria for determining consumers of media products. And here we observe a large digital intergenerational gap, which manifests itself in the discrepancy not only in the level of digital competence of different generations, but also in the peculiarities of the existence of their representatives in real and virtual space.

This article discusses various factors of digital inequality, the availability of purchases of goods and services on the Internet based on research by I.N. Trofimova, D.E. Konopleva, S.V. Doroshenko, M.N. Makarova, O.V. Shinyaeva, O.V. Poletaeva, O.M. Slepova, M.E. Baskakova, I.V. Soboleva and others. In the issue of online purchases of goods and services, there is a stratification of the consumer audience according to various factors of digital inequality, the article considers the importance of systematization of factors of digital inequality for further solving the problem. The results of the study can be useful for understanding social problems and developing appropriate measures to promote the availability of online shopping

The article analyzes the transformation of ideas about the phenomenon of "masses" in social-philosophical studies. The origins of the negative connotation of the category of "crowds", forming by an arrogant judgment of aristocrats who look down on the rebellious masses, are presented in the article. As a result, there was a mixing between the subject of sociology and crowd psychology, which influenced the socio-philosophical understanding of the behavior of the masses, and the characteristics of rioting crowds were extrapolated to the category of "masses". The concept of the "public" of G. Tard allows us to discern the distinctive features and positive features of the masses that have revealed themselves to the world with the development of mass communication.

The oracles’ divinations and the sages’ speeches as the archaic forms of the truth statements presented in the texts by Herodotus and Diogenes Laertius are considered in the article. The main features of these forms of the truth statements are revealed in terms of the specific status of the speaker (the oracle or the sage) and the circumstances of the statement formation, as well as their perception by those people for whom the statement was told. During the comparative analysis, a conclusion about the transitional character of the sage’s truth statement was made. Like the oracle the sage makes the ambiguous and indefinite statements, he lets the listener to interpret his speech. Like a philosopher the sage wants to be helpful and has to rely on different forms of justification in order to make his speech to be heard

At the end of the twentieth century, the Internet becomes an integral component of the everyday world. The postindustrial society predicted by D. Bell has become a reality. New communication formats produce a number of digital effects, as well as new axiological positions of users. Technological progress determines the modern specificity of information consumption, at the same time, the transformation of the subject as a digital actor takes place. The modern user is characterized by alienation from his own corporality. Physical activity is adjusted based on the data of the gadget. The digital evidence of the biological body becomes the basis of bodily experience. Controlling the number of steps, the time spent in different applications, work productivity becomes hyperreal. Simulations reinforce the existential horror of non-digital reality. The authors study the features of the transition from the culture of media consumption to the culture of media participation in order to show the actual predicates of the modern digital subject.

The paper analyzes the documentary Internet series ‘Soviet Design’: according to the author, the project, which belongs to the SciPop direction, is not only an entertaining guide to the samples of design ideas of the Soviet era, but also a manual, allowing one to identify the most relevant models of the reception of the Soviet, existing at the level of ordinary consciousness of modern Russia. It has been established that when choosing reference items, the creators of the series ignored both those items of social decorum that were marked as “titular” and iconic by the gone era itself, and those as well, that, having acquired the status of vintage, gained popularity on the wave of sovstalgia, nostalgia for Soviet. Based on the analysis of the discourse of artifacts chosen by the filmmakers, as well as the value bases of the statements of invited experts and a number of design strategies for the series, it was revealed that the critical paradigm of the reception of the Soviet is being normalized in the project.

Thanatopolitics is a concept that emerged in the 2010s and has been appearing more and more frequently in the scholarly literature over the past decade, but still there is no clear definitions for it. Thanatopolitics is referred to in articles on political philosophy, fiction, jurisprudence, and the media. Desire to discover universal connections between the articulation of new meanings and the legitimization of violence is what unites these works.
We propose to consider thanatopolitics as a variant of the dispositif of power, which is based on the production of knowledge about the threats immanent to life itself ("bare life").
We believe that in the 1905s and 1920s, Russia attempted to construct a dispositif of power based on the search for zones of decay of the social body. The emergence of the space of public politics and the medicalization of academic language determined the relevance of thanatopolitics in that period. The figure of the full-fledged expert hygienist became the role model of the new politician. However, with the establishment of the Soviet system, the fundamental meanings of thanatopolitical discourse began to conflict with the final values of Marxism. In the genealogy of Russian thanatopolitics we found a universal condition for this power dispositive - the impossibility/unwillingness of the final recovery of society.

The author raises the problem of the general philosophical attitudes of the thinkers of the Eleatic school and George Berkeley. Their similarity is not limited to the external label of «idealists» or the denial of the usual ideas: about multiplicity, movement, matter. The article presents arguments in favor of the existence of a single system of thinking common to Xenophanes, Parmenides, Zeno and Bishop Berkeley. This allows us to talk about a special philosophical approach, for which the author proposes to fix the term «eleatism», defined as monistic metaphysical idealism. The basic intuition of eleatism is the strict identity of being and thinking. Only true reality is recognized as comprehensible, while the incomprehensible (unthinkable, unimaginable) does not exist. It is the principle of non–contradiction that is central to the discourse of the Eleaticists; it also defines the key opposition for this philosophical direction of the true knowable being and the world of opinion, filled with errors of sensory perception, fixed in the mind in the form of linguistic chimeras. The analysis of the key positions in the philosophy of the representatives of the Eleatic school and George Berkeley, carried out in this article, shows that their philosophical thinking was guided by intuitions common to eleatism.

After the collapse of the USSR, transformation processes began to take place in the former republics of the Soviet Union in all spheres of social, political, spiritual and cultural life. The interfaith relations did not remain the same: we can see tension within Orthodoxy, in particular, between the church structures of the Kiev and Moscow Patriarchate, which continues today.
The independence of the country caused to life the old idea of creating a united Ukrainian church on the principle: the national state - the national church. This position was also supported by the political leadership of the newly formed state.
It is characteristic that the social and religious processes taking place in the former Republics of the Soviet Union are carried out according to the same algorithm, which testifies to a certain pattern, which probably results from the same purpose: to free themselves from Russia's influence not only in political and administrative terms, as a successor to the USSR, but also to try to break religious and canonical ties with the former metropolis by uniting scattered institutional entities into a single and one national and confessional structure. However, despite the fact of achievement of this goal (the establishment of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine) the confrontation did not stop because other interfaith problems as well as personal problems of some church hierarchs had not been resolved.
The article raises the question of the further development of the religious situation in Ukraine.

An important condition for the formation of demographic security in the context of digitalization of the living space of modern students (of different ethnic groups) is awareness of the main demographic risks. Remaining unconscious, these demographic risks in the aggregate will be tantamount to declaring a "demographic war" aimed at the destruction of man. The formation of key aspects of demographic security is based on the education system, which is designed to change the attitude towards a person, his preservation as a value, and not to continue the path of human development as a "perfect" artificial system. The article analyzes the existing images of the family of Russian students, as well as students of Turkmen and Tajik ethnic groups studying at the Kazan National Research Technological University
