In the modern information society, memes, demotivators, comments on posts require a necessary role within the framework of collective consciousness and public opinion.

The article reveals the specifics of transmitting the norms of large families from generation to generation. Based on empirical data, it was possible to assess the degree of influence of the experience of the parent families of survey participants and their spouses, as well as the actual number of children of respondents on the number of children they advise their children to have. An analysis of the structure of parental families showed that the majority of respondents’ families are hereditarily small, and every fourth refuses to continue the tradition of large families in their own reproductive family. A  comparative analysis of the desired and actual number of children in the families of respondents showed that the existing need for children is realized on average by only two-thirds. In connection with this, even full acceptance of the norm of children transmitted by parents will be insufficient to achieve the level of simple reproduction of the population. This justifies the need to implement targeted, scientifically based measures to support families with children, which reduce the influence of negative factors that prevent the birth of more children, and increase the importance of the opposite ones, which contribute to having a larger number of children.

According to the Global Fund working group, both Russia and the Sverdlovsk Region are among the places with the highest prevalence of HIV infection. We conducted a study on the awareness of students about HIV infection as a result of the primary prevention process among students at the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education named after the First President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (hereinafter referred to as UrFU). 336 students of different specialties and areas of training were interviewed (N=336). The data we obtained allowed us to reveal some results: the respondents mostly correctly indicated the ways of transmission of infection, the timing and places of examination, they know about the availability of treatment and the possibility of having healthy children, more than half of the students know the HIV status of the partner, while 70% do not know their current HIV status (more than 12 were examined for HIV infection months, the majority of respondents use preventive measures during sexual intercourse, the risk of infection in behavior has no gender characteristics, but is characteristic of young (21-25 years old) and more mature (40 and older) age and primarily for non-partners.

The study is focused on the intergenerational language transmission as a fundamental condition for ensuring the vitality of minority languages. Based on the materials of a mass representative survey in the Republic of Tatarstan with a quota sample of 2,000 respondents, the language attitudes and practices of representatives of youth and the age group over 55 years are revealed in a comparative perspective. The article examines the use of the Russian and Tatar languages, as well as bilingualism in the public sphere (at work, in public places, state institutions, use of the media). In Tatarstan, known for its protectionist policy towards the titular Tatar language, despite the measures taken in the post-Soviet period, the prevailing trend has become to preservation of the linguistic shift in favor of the national Russian language. At the same time, the continuous intergenerational language transmission of the Tatar language as a condition of its viability is complicated.

The article deals with the rather urgent problem of the qualitative composition of the modern elite political stratum of the Russian society and the place occupied by intellectuals in it. The article compares the categories of intelligentsia and intellectuals, which allows us to say that intellectuals are a special social layer that has a number of basic features of the intelligentsia, with the exception of the representation of many of its members with a special ethical self-determination characteristic of this group. This is largely confirmed by the analysis of biographies of 685 political figures representing the modern Russian political elite. Using the latest research on this problem and the results of his own analysis of biographies of elite members, the author comes to the conclusion that, having the necessary theoretical basis, professional characteristics (in the form of appropriate education, experience of activity) modern intellectuals in the ruling elite form layers, one of which in the ruling elite group represents more formal-technocratic stratum, however, far from the layer of technostructure described by J. Galbraith, and in the near-elite environment – the layer of formally deideologized experts.

The article is devoted to the problem of actualization of the phenomenon of memory in the tradition of Ancient thought. Despite the genuine interest in the politics and techniques of memory, recollection and oblivion at the end of the twentieth century, the ancient tradition of interpreting the concept of "memory" rarely becomes an independent subject of detailed consideration by researchers. Modern authors from various fields of knowledge often mention Aristotle as the originator of the concept of memory, but such references are rather a "common place", a tribute to tradition, rather than a serious analysis. The study of the achievements of ancient authors opens the way for readers to study the problems of the work of consciousness, the general concept of time, and also creates the ground for the analysis of a wide range of epistemological problems. In this regard, the reconstruction undertaken in this article of the author's most important concepts of memory in antiquity aims not only to explain the meaning of phraseological units, such as "to fall to the source", but also to demonstrate the importance of ancient concepts for the modern understanding of the phenomenon, in particular, the understanding of memory as a specific characteristic of personality. The authors of this article proceed from the thesis that ancient Greek thinkers saw in memory the main property that distinguishes a person from other beings.

By the dialectic of freedom, we understand the internal contradiction and interaction of opposite terms describing the game reality. At first glance, play and freedom are two incompatible phenomena. A game is a form of activity in which the subject adheres to the rules to achieve a goal. Freedom is a category that defines the borderline status of things. We will put forward the opposite thesis: it is within the limits of the game space that free will is formed.
This issue is becoming relevant due to the growing popularity of the field of video games and game design. With the development of digital technologies, people began to spend more time in virtual space, and relax and chat in video games. A video game is a digital product in which anthropological qualities are clearly expressed – in the game, the goal and actions are built around the player and for the player.
Since the game is a cultural creation of man, it cannot do without the participation of freedom. Freedom is a person's spiritual footprint in the game space. Moreover, the idea of freedom is already embedded in the essence of the game: a person's natural desire to overcome boundaries and himself. Can a game space reflect genuine human freedom?

Many of the problems raised by artificial intelligence (AI) researchers between 2000 and 2020 have, in one way or another, already been addressed in science fiction before. Analysis of science fiction texts allows us to identify the following models of relationships between humans and AI. The first model can be called exclusively friendly AI (R. Heinlein, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”). Such AI is a friend, an assistant to a person in all his affairs – including those directed against other people. The second model can be characterized as “friendly AI with built-in ethical restrictions” (A. Azimov, “I, Robot”). The third model is a neutral AI, weakly interested in human affairs, located “above good and evil” (S. Lem, “Golem XIV”). The fourth model is AI, which has its own goals that diverge from the goals of humanity and is therefore potentially hostile (A. Clark, “2001: A Space Odyssey”). The fifth model is an AI openly hostile to humanity (“Terminator”).
