The relevance of the article is due to the new correlation   of sociopolitical actors in the strategy of major civilizations. The purpose of the   article is to substantiate the new balance of power on the world stage. The article   analyzes such basic parameters of the alignment of socio-political actors as the   own defense forces of country-civilization, shows the unity of the basic interests   of the majority of workers in all civilizations, which provides solid life chances   for their inhabitants. The concepts of progressive and reactionary protagonists   are revealed. The article highlights the indigenized strata of the population in   the main civilizations that contribute to progressive protagonists. The vector of   historical development and the degree of stability of international relations are   studied depending on the number of protagonists (in the case of monopolization   of world politics by one actor, with the duality of protagonists and in the case of   protagonists` pluralization). 

 The article shows the evolution in the interpretation of antagonists in   science, the flexibility and changeability of antagonists on the world stage, the   competition between neighbors of the first order and the possibility of alliances   with neighbors of the second order, errors in determining possible allies in   France. The historical vectors of different forms of irredentism, the factors of   degradation of irredentism and its transformation from legitimate and fair to   illegal and unfair are divorced.

 The differences in the definition of antagonists and the degree of aggressiveness   of Retro-, Pirahan- and Forthcoming civilizations are revealed. It is proved that   retro-civilizations engaged in the revision of historical memory and based on   a retrograde, revanchist orientation live at the expense of "phantom pains", in   Russia's neighbors – thanks to irrational Russophobia. Their aggressiveness is   capable of reaching a high intensity, but does not rely on the necessary resources.   The Pirahan-civilization is also unstable – due to the gap between the hedonism   of the dominant culture and the propaganda of the "progressors"-motives.   Among the forthcoming-civilizations, there are both peaceful progressive   options and expansionist reactionary variants. 

The article substantiates the separation of the concepts of the unity of  purpose of the strategy (including the strategy of responsibility of the "circular  review") and the variability of the main and main enemy. The authors believe that  the main opponent of the West at the moment is Russia, and the main opponent  for a long strategic period is China. The inconsistency of the West's simultaneous  opposition to these antagonists is argued. The authors analyze the reasons for the variability of the "Big Game" of the world powers. The "globalist" layers are  identified and systematized. The groups of antagonists within Russia itself are  also highlighted. The variants of conflicts that can provoke these groups and the  possibilities of their union and political advancement are considered. The main  types of Westernism are also revealed.

The article reveals the possibilities of labile intermediate actors  coming to the fore. An unstable vector of limitrophs in the intercivilization  zone is determined. The authors separate deuteragonists as those who have accepted the values of the protagonist and therefore are his strong ally, and  tritagonists as limitrophes who have mixed values and therefore are able to  move away from the protagonist to his antagonist at any moment. It is proved  that the level and stability of the loyalty of limitrophs correlate with the indices  of collaboration and resistance. The authors identify the causes and negative  aspects of collaboration for the life of individual countries, the role of historical,  social and mental prerequisites that prevent the realization of basic national  interests, as well as the causes and motives of resistance.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of creative spaces  in the self-realization of urban youth. It is known that, first of all, creative  spaces are attractive "third places" in the city, oriented towards the creation  of favorable conditions for advanced young people, as well as for obtaining professional competences for their further career in creative spheres. The  article presents the results of a pilot study of two creative spaces in Kazan using  qualitative methods. The main research question focuses on the endeavor to  understand what opportunities the local creative spaces offer for urban youth  in the city, what the specificity of each is, in what ways it is expressed, and what  role localized creative spaces play in shaping an attractive image of the city in  the eyes of young people.

This article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at  identifying changes in the cultural values of young people from 18 to 23 years  old in Russia and China for further comparative analysis of the results obtained.  This survey was based on the theory of Dutch scientist G. Hofstede on the typology of cultural dimensions, which contains five parameters describing  the differences between national cultures: power distance (from small to  large); collectivism and individualism; femininity and masculinity; uncertainty  avoidance (weak and strong), long-term orientation. Despite the fact that the  process of globalization has a significant impact on the values of young people,  making them more unified, regardless of the country and its national culture,  nevertheless, the results of the conducted research reveal some differences in  the characteristics of cultural identity of Chinese and Russian Generation Z.

The article examines current research on labor mobility and gender  inequality in the labor market: occupational segregation, unequal pay and  the «maternity penalty». The study of the impact of gender stereotypes,  social foundations, choice of educational path and professional environment  on wage disparities between women and men was conducted. Wage imbalances  are widespread around the world and affect the majority of economic sectors  and  employment types. In Russia data on the gender pay gap varies widely by region, economic sector and occupational group, and where male employment  prevails, the rate of  disparity is often higher. The  recommendations from  international organizations on equalizing women and men in labor rights are  given.

Modern trends in changing the marriage and family attitudes of  modern youth are characterized by the transformation of gender roles. Based on  a questionnaire survey of modern youth, social attitudes of young people were  obtained regarding the gender distribution of roles in the sphere of decision-making, financial security of the family, parenthood, organization of everyday  life and a favorable climate in the family, as well as the assessment of these areas  in the parental family. Data indicate an egalitarianization of the family model,  but in relation to the sphere of family provision, this trend is less pronounced.  Young people more often name love as the reasons for starting a family, followed  by socio-psychological comfort and having children.

This article deals with the peculiarities of the implementation of  youth policy in the Russian Federation. The analysis of the main normative-legal acts of the Russian Federation in this direction is carried out. In particular,  most of the attention was paid to the "Fundamentals of State Youth Policy in the  Russian Federation until 2025" approved on 29 November 2014 by the Decree of  the Government of the Russian Federation № 2403-r.

 In the course of the study, the author identified a number of problems of youth  policy. Thus, it was established that from 2014 to the present time there is a  tendency to decrease the number of young citizens in the total share of the  country's population. Consequently, this creates significant problems in the  labour market.

 Attention is drawn to the problems of political representation of young people  in the Russian power structures. The absence of measures in the state policy to  attract young people to the political life of the country can reduce their civic  consciousness, which will negatively affect the society as a whole.

 As a result, the author made assumptions about how to correct the current state  of the state youth policy and to achieve improvement of employment indicators,  number and civic activity of young citizens.

The article presents the results of the author's sociological research  on the identification of problems and prospects for the prevention of family  problems in the Republic of Mordovia. The authors analyzed the opinions of  competent employees of social protection and social service institutions of  the Republic of Mordovia, which allowed not only to identify current problems in the prevention of family problems in the Republic of Mordovia, but also to  identify promising areas. The authors conclude that the further prospects for  the modernization of the state family policy in the field of prevention of family  problems depends on the solution of a number of tasks related to its theoretical  and methodological, regulatory, organizational, managerial and resource  support.

Currently, the problem of rental patients behavior is poorly  understood in the sociology of medicine. The article discusses the concept of  "rental behavior", differentiates the related categories of "rental motivation" and  "rental attitude". Using the strategy of qualitative sociological research, a semi[1]formal interview of hospital doctors was conducted in order to identify typical  behavioral patterns of rent-oriented patients. It is advisable to build interaction  in the doctor-patient dyad taking into account the diagnosis of the rental  behavior model. The results of the study can be used in the theory of sociology  of medicine and in the development of applied sociological research programs.

The article considers two modern concepts of consciousness: M.  Menski's quantum theory of consciousness and R. Penrose-S. Hameroff's theory  of objective reduction of states. Key aspects of the concept of consciousness  within the framework of quantum approach are identified and both advantages  and disadvantages of each concept are noted. Further prospects for the  development of these concepts are presented, the philosophical analysis of  which, of course, reflects certain trends in the development of modern science.

The epistemology of science at the present stage is undergoing serious changes. Collaboration between scientific research and business is becoming the norm, which leads to the commercialization of the results of scientific activity. All this is the basis for the development of technoscience. Modern technologized science is closely related to a new type of knowledge production. This work is devoted to understanding the procedural component of the phenomenon of technoscience.

The article examines the epistemological role of synthetic biology in  the context of the transformation of forms of scientific knowledge. The main  focus is on technoscience and synthetic biology, the grounds for its use as a  representative of the current stage of scientific knowledge development. The  author defines synthetic biology, its goals, methods, and general status in  the system of scientific knowledge, and also examines both the existing and  possible epistemological usefulness of this scientific branch. Attention is paid  to the logical justification of the paradoxical states of synthetic biology. The results reflect the possible forms in which the epistemological usefulness of the  scientific direction will be most relevant.

The article is devoted to considering the history of two interconnected  phenomena: rock and roll, which originated and took shape in the United  States in the middle of the last century, and the so-called "second wave of  Pentecostalism" (Pentecostal awakening), the date of which also falls on this  decade. The clear influence of Pentecostal musical culture on the work of Elvis  Presley is shown. The further history of rock and roll and its connection with  religion is considered. The process of integrating foreign musical religious  culture into the practice of Russian neo-Pentecostal churches is analyzed, an  overview of the creativity and styles of Russian artists and musical groups is  given.

The author of the article raises the question of the aesthetic content  of the real historical process. The article examines history as a dramatic space  of human development, as a locus and topos of the manifestation of his creative  abilities, as a process that can be studied and described in the categories of classical aesthetics. According to the author, the objective course of history  itself has aesthetic characteristics, which makes it possible to use the concepts  and categories of aesthetics in the study of historical events. The source of the  aesthetic fullness of a historical event is the creative nature of human activity in  general, the revolutionary impulse, heroic enthusiasm and creative potential of  mass popular movements. The phenomenon of social revolution is presented as  an event in which the aesthetic component of historical action is concentrated.  The global revolutionary social shifts of our time are largely achieved through  the selfless steps and inspired social creativity of popular movements, whose  participants, whether they realize it or not, are engaged in practical, often heroic,  transformation of an imperfect world and the creation of a new, more perfect  one, the harmony of which is revealed as constructive solvability contradictions.

The article raises the question of possible variations of attitude to the  future, both in theoretical discourses and in the worldview of the contemporary.  The problem of the future (humanity) is put in the context of the problem of  crisis of the modern state of society, including the context of the crisis of modern  capitalism. The author shows that modern capitalism, which has spread to the  whole world, no longer has opportunities for extensive development and for  taking its crisis phenomena outside its own system. In this regard, there is a way  to solve the internal problems of this system on the principle of bringing them  into the future. The article demonstrates two versions of understanding the future: the first one – a return to the past – represents either a retreat backwards  in order to free up space/time for a subsequent intensive move forward, or a  version of barbarization/archaization/primitivization of the present, conscious  or not. The second version of the future’ image, with all its possible tragicism, is  the image of the future as a future, another, different, something that has not yet  happened. This version requires a new social theory that explains the process  and allows to develop an action strategy.

This article discusses the issues of digital socialization in detail. In  addition, the analysis of ways and effective ways of support and protection of  children and adolescents in modern information space was carried out, the  behavior formed in the course of digital socialization was determined, and an  algorithm for determining the types of internet users was proposed. The results  of the sociological study allow us to formulate working hypotheses about the  various effects of digital socialization on modern students. The results of the  study can be used in the formation of strategic plans for the development of  the digital sphere and educational policies. The scientific novelty of the study  consists in the development of a new methodological solution for use in the  process of generalizing the socializing influence of the internet environment.  The practice was proved by the types of questionnaires, tests, etc.at the Kyzylorda  higher pedagogical college named after M. Mametova.
