The article examines social practices of digital deviance and factors of cyber victimization among social media users based on an empirical study conducted among residents of the Republic of Tatarstan. The aim of the study is to identify typical patterns of online behavior and forms of risky digital practices, as well as to describe users’ responses to fraudulent and aggressive manifestations in the online environment. The methodological framework of the research is grounded in sociological approaches to the study of digital communications and the mediatization of everyday life. The empirical basis is represented by the results of an online survey among residents of the Republic of Tatarstan (n=1864). The findings indicate a high level of user involvement in digital communications and a widespread prevalence of risky and deviant practices associated with anonymity, aggressive interaction, and the use of tools to conceal digital identity. The study also reveals a significant prevalence of cyber victimization experiences and a low level of обращения for institutional assistance. The results suggest the formation of stable patterns of digital deviance and highlight the need to develop comprehensive preventive measures aimed at enhancing digital literacy and strengthening regional digital security systems. 

This article explores the phenomenon of everyday happiness as a stable positive emotional state that emerges through routine actions, social interactions, and situations of daily life. The theory examines contemporary approaches to understanding subjective well-being, micro-happiness, and emotional dynamics in everyday contexts. The empirical part is based on data collected using the diary method: 16 participants recorded their mood, daily events, and emotional responses over a 14-day period. The study involved urban residents (from metropolitan areas, a regional capital, and cities of the Sverdlovsk region) aged 18 to 60. The analysis revealed a strong dependence of happiness levels on the quality of social ties, daily rhythm, day of the week, alignment of expectations with reality, and the ability to regulate emotions. Age-related differences were identified in emotional priorities, reactions, and sources of support. Everyday happiness is presented as a complex experience based on repetitive practices, a sense of predictability, and emotional resonance. 

This article presents the findings of an empirical study conducted among academic staff at Russian universities. The aim of the work is to identify differences in the academic development and career plans of academic staff depending on age and level of engagement in university development programs. The methodological framework consisted of a questionnaire survey of 2776 academic staff from 15 Russian universities (October-December 2024). The results revealed high institutional loyalty among academic staff coupled with low mobility: 67% of respondents plan to remain in their current position at their university. Inter-university and inter-regional mobility are extremely low (less than 2%). Two primary career trajectories among academic staff were identified: a stability strategy (predominant among staff over 40 and highly engaged employees) and a mobility strategy (characteristic of younger respondents under 39, especially those with low engagement in academic development). The key factor for potential resignation among academic staff is low remuneration (reported by approximately half of the respondents). Early-career specialists are significantly more sensitive to material and career-related factors, while their senior colleagues exhibit greater loyalty and emphasize the organizational and ethical environment. The level of engagement in academic development positively correlates with the intention to remain at the university. Based on the results, we have formulated a paradox of personnel policy: the need to simultaneously retain loyal «stabilizers» (senior and highly engaged academic staff) and mobile «agents of change» (young and less engaged academic staff), who possess opposing motivational profiles. The practical significance of the study lies in the development of recommendations for a differentiated university personnel policy that considers the age-specific characteristics and motivational profiles of academic staff. 

This article presents a theoretical analysis of the digital socialization of student youth in the context of the transformation of higher education. Based on comparative and conceptual analysis, key paradigms for understanding this process–instrumentalist and transformative–are identified, and the author offers a definition of the phenomenon as a hybrid process determined by traditional institutions and an algorithmic internet environment. Three dimensions of socialization (cognitive, communicative, and identification), their principles, and factors are revealed. Digital competence is viewed as a result of socialization–a dynamic system of cognitive, operational, and valuereflexive skills. A gap between students' consumer practices and professional competencies is identified, and the need for innovative educational approaches is substantiated. 

The accelerating digitalization permeates every sphere of modern society, inevitably causing various conflicts: between the virtual and the real, verbal and visual, universal and culturally specific. The current paper sums up a series of studies conducted within the framework of MSU Program of Development, Project No. 23-Sch02-16 “Conflict and Media: Theoretical, Historical, Socio-Cultural and Communicative Aspects”. It reveals a high level of media and information technology involvement in all areas of social life and the process of mediatization of social conflicts. The study of user behaviour in social networks showed that students and PhD students of Russian universities (n=112, aged 19–32) tend to explicitly express their opinions on social media, even if these contradict popular views; the cohort demonstrated a tendency to realistic self-presentation, and the aim to create a positive virtual image. Overall, the survey confirms a predominant match between the real image created by young social networks users and their virtual identity. Research on young users’ attitudes to gamification in key social spheres (n=53, aged 19–27) revealed an overall positive evaluation of this process ongoing I socialization and communication, though were reluctance to accept total gamification of education. An analysis of the use of evaluative vocabulary in media texts – one of the indicators denoting conflict emerging – showed a tendency that the texts include generally moderate lexical units comprising the category. Finally, a study on how native and non-native audiences perceive and interprete such polycode texts as memes showed that the congruence of the visual component appears to be the main factor ensuring the understanding and appreciating for a text created in a different linguistic and cultural paradigm. 

This article examines the key social problems and development prospects of satellite towns within the Kazan metropolitan area. The focus is on identifying the everyday problems faced by residents of small towns and the institutional barriers identified by experts. The objective of the study is to identify the key challenges and opportunities for integrating satellite towns into the agglomeration structure by comparing the views of the public and the expert community. Materials and methods: analysis of scientific literature, semi-structured interviews with residents of three Kazan satellite towns, and interviews with industry experts. The study revealed differences in the perception of priorities between residents and experts: residents focus on everyday problems, while experts are focused on strategic, infrastructural, and institutional development. A conclusion was reached regarding the need to strengthen interaction between the agglomeration center and peripheral territories. A number of proposals and growth areas were identified based on the expert survey. 

This article deals with the problem of interpreting the Gospel text from the pericope of Mark 7:14-19. The harshness of the discourse has prompted some scholars to see in it a justification for anti-Semitism and the break of the ‘historical Jesus’ with Judaism, while others have tried to reconstruct a context where it would have sounded softer. We have looked briefly at how biblical scholars have interpreted these speeches as part of the search for the ‘historical Jesus’. We also conducted a critical analysis of the contemporary Aramaic theories of Maurice Casey and Thomas Kazen. 

The article examines the genesis of the class approach to science within Marxist theory, based on a materialist understanding of history. Two key cases are considered: (1) the initial formation of the approach in Marxism and (2) its universalization in the USSR, where it became the methodological principle of all science. Various interpretations of the reasons for the emergence of the class approach are discussed: from a tool for defending the socialist project (Mannheim) to a means of overcoming capitalist ideology (Lukács). The Soviet experience is examined through various concepts: the exclusion of “incorrect” ideas (Firsov) or scientists (Malinkin/Lekur), but their criticism ignores the reality of ideological class struggle. Particular attention is paid to the transformation of the approach after Stalin's criticism of Marr's theory, which led to a performative shift and imitation of class analysis. An alternative is offered by the UCF-ml theory, which explains the failures by the alienation of science from the proletariat in the USSR while maintaining the party principle. The question is raised about the subject applying the class approach. 

The article reconstructs the genealogy of the Kazan “philosophical clinic” developed by Konstantin I. Sotonin (1893–1944) in the context of the Satonin/Sotonin family history. It traces his shift from classical metaphysics and theory of knowledge to an interdisciplinary project at the crossroads of philosophy, experimental psychology and medicine, in which philosophy is conceived as a therapy for discontents. The core notion is “metaphysical indifferentism”, which privileges knowledge and individual joy over the pursuit of abstract Truth and universal ethics. Drawing on the diary of Aleksandr Sotonin, memoirs by Igor Satonin and M.V. Nechkina, as well as oral testimonies, the article shows how family trauma, revolutionary experience and the “anarchic” stance of the brothers shaped the clinic’s conceptual foundations. The “philosophical clinic” is interpreted as a pragmatic tool for local therapy of personal frustration under conditions of the crisis of grand narratives in the early twentieth century. 

The article examines the academic ethos of pre-revolutionary philosophy at Kazan University through an analysis of professors’ reviews of students’ prize-winning essays from 1913–1916. The study is based on the methodology of the «moral economy» of science, which involves studying the informal values and practices of a scholarly community. The primary focus is on reconstructing the system of epistemic virtues and vices that shaped the normative boundaries of the professional community. The analysis reveals two interconnected groups of virtues. The foundation consisted of «reliabilist» virtues ensuring knowledge reliability: philological accuracy, meticulous work with primary sources, methodological correctness, and stylistic clarity. These underpinned «responsibilist» virtues aimed at generating new understanding: critical autonomy, methodological reflection, interdisciplinary boldness, and independent problem-setting. The hierarchy of vices, such as superficiality, stylistic imperfection, and factual errors, was constructed as a strict antithesis to these virtues. Thus, the academic ethos of the Kazan philosophical school represented an integrated system that combined the reproduction of classical «normal science» standards with the encouragement of intellectual responsibility and the creative development of norms. 

The modern media system of the Republic of Tatarstan has undergone significant changes related to fundamental changes in society, as well as the emergence of new types and types of media. The paper provides an overview of the thematic preferences of modern media resources in the region. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the topics of politics, economics, law, education, culture, religion, sports, housing and communal services and everyday life, as well as criminal topics occupy the largest volume on the agenda of the socio-political media of Tatarstan. The study shows that Tatarstan's media resources make a great contribution to the patriotic education of the population, the development of national cultures, and are an important factor in its selfaffirmation as an economically and spiritually strong region.

The central topic of ethno-social research in Russia has been the study of social phenomena caused by migration from Central Asian CIS countries for a long time. The article discusses the main approaches and methods used to study the ethnic diasporas from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan that reside in the Republic of Tatarstan. The purpose of this article is to systematically review scientific publications on Central Asian migration in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past twenty years, with a focus on transnationalism. This will help identify areas where there is a lack of scientific knowledge, topics that need further exploration, and set new research objectives.
