The problem of national-state identity is considered as one of the pillars, along with the state, ensuring the stability of modern social systems. It is shown that the national-state identity is formed, first of all, on the basis of the commonality of spiritual values shared by the majority of members of society. These values belong, in turn, to the spheres of culture and ideology. The role of these areas is not the same. The function of culture is the accumulation and reproduction of values through the transfer from generation to generation of values as ideas of what is due and taboo, which gave advantages to the social system and its members in survival and development. Ideological values are attractive goals, a project of a social and state structure that reflects the interests of social groups. The stability of social systems and nation-states is possible provided that ideological values do not conflict with the values of culture. In modern conditions, the process of reproduction of cultural values is hampered by a number of global reasons, and these values themselves have become the object of destructive ideological influence on the part of both rival states and global elites. The role of state cultural policy and state ideologies has come to the fore in the issue of ensuring the sustainability of nation states and the corresponding social systems. In conclusion, the conditions for the effectiveness of this policy are formulated in the most general form.

The problem of theoretical conceptualization of the value dimension of the subject’s picture of the world in the context of identification processes in Russian society is posed. The picture of the world has a spatial and temporal organization that affects the speed and direction of the identification processes of an individual with a group, society as a whole. At the same time, the picture of the world is filled with subjective meanings and is supplemented by another dimension – the meanings and meaning of reflected events and phenomena. Therefore, the analysis of the facets of the picture of the world from the standpoint of the value dimension includes the approaches of post-non-classical science using the criteria of analysis in the political-psychological and sociological traditions. Three approaches are formulated, the possibilities of practical application of which are illustrated by the results of empirical studies of the Institute of Sociology and the Institute of Socio-Political Research of the Federal Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The proposed view on the value dimension of the picture of the world made it possible to reveal the dependence of identification processes not only on obvious social and political transformations. Self-identification of an individual and groups is also latently influenced by the variability of the value picture of the world: social ideas and values, social norms and attitudes, political needs, interests and orientations, that is, the delta of novelty, which is reflected in new meanings and reflected in new meanings. The relationship between objective situational factors reflected in the value picture of the world and latent markers of the transformation of the identification of an individual, groups and society as a whole has been revealed. The value-semantic dimension of the picture of the world of Russian society made it possible to see the mobility and duality of value transformations, which requires further study of the networks of meanings, analysis of their symbolic structures as the basis of the cultural matrix of Russian society.

. Intercultural dialogue is the key subject of State national policy in any country. Despite the effects introduced by globalization, blurring unique features and universalizing the value basis of modern life, communities formed on an ethnic, confessional or linguistic basis (cultural communities), for the most part still retain their own identity, strive to maintain their value-behavioral patterns, customs, traditions and foundations. Therefore, the development of principles and management mechanisms capable of ensuring the coexistence of different cultural communities remains relevant for political-administrative systems. This is an essential condition for socio-political stability. The article is aimed at exploring the potential of the digital space for the formation of intercultural dialogue in the digital space contributing to the provision and maintenance of socio-political stability. The paper illustrates promising tools and properties of the digital space for communication and interaction of cultural communities; reflects the prerequisites, outlines the basic contours of intercultural dialogue in the digital space and the possible consequences of its impact on socio-political stability. According to the main conclusion of the analysis, the digital space creates completely new opportunities for building an intercultural dialogue, which political-administrative systems cannot ignore, striving for socio-political stability.

The article discusses issues related to the forecasts of the development of political power in Yemen, taking into account the impact of the ongoing conflict on the territory of the state. In current events, Yemen is a country characterized by high uncertainty about the further development of events in the field of political structure and ensuring the legitimacy of the government. The above-mentioned aspects determine a wide range of approaches and opinions related to the further political structure of Yemen. This article presents an attempt to generalize existing approaches and highlight key scenarios for the development of political power in Yemen.

In the context of the sanctions policy of the West, Russia’s turn towards the Asia-Pacific region seems quite promising. In this regard, it was interesting for the author to look at the geopolitical status of the Republic of Korea and the DPRK in the current situation. The geographical characteristics of both states were analyzed from the standpoint of the possibilities of political and economic influence of these countries on world politics, as well as on relations with Russia. Socio-economic parameters were presented both in terms of demographics and in terms of urbanization, development of the transport system and industry. Foreign economic and military-technical policy was considered in the context of interaction between the ROK and the DPRK with Russia. However, a number of problems were identified that today exist on the path of unhindered economic relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.

The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the concept of the fourth industrial revolution by K. Schwab and its role in the development of modern societies. It has been established that this concept has a pronounced conservative ideological character and is aimed at preserving and legitimizing the current status quo of privileged social groups, as well as the status quo based on a new system of dispositions. It performs projective-mobilizing, political, evaluative and practical functions aimed at forming a “common understanding” and building an “inclusive and just” society. The sociological content of the theory of industrial revolutions is revealed as an attempt to revise the established theoretical constructs that have lost their empirical adequacy in the changed conditions. It is shown that the concept of the fourth industrial revolution is based on evaluative descriptions, has no clear criteria and indicators for its diagnosis. It is argued that in K. Schwab’s interpretation the fourth industrial revolution is indistinguishable from the third one. It is hypothesized that the concept of the fourth industrial revolution is not new in content and is a product of “intellectual marketing”. Using the methodology of A. Goudner, the critical analysis is carried out and the non-articulated components that make up the infrastructure of the concept of the fourth industrial revolution are revealed by considering the “role” and “personal” reality of K. Schwab.

Belief in the powerful, the supernatural, and the inexplicable has no beginning or end. The central role in human fears has always been played by oracles – sacred people (priests). At the same time, both people and places that were considered sacred could be an oracle. It was assumed that seers could both explain the supernatural and predict the future. K. Popper introduced the term – the philosophy of oracles to denote a style of philosophizing similar to the manner of predicting the future, used by oracles when performing religious cults or by mediums in magic sessions. The main method of divination oracles is to intimidate or enchant their listeners. In the context of A. Comte’s theory of human evolution, we will be able to see the following patterns of interaction with the supernatural: at the theological stage, for example, in Ancient Greece, there are many Gods; at the metaphysical stage – the reasoning of philosophers, for example, Plato about God as the Creator and Creator of the universe, and Aristotle spoke of God as a philosophical God, and at the early scientific stage – these are the discoveries made by Copernicus and Galileo, which completely turned the worldview of mankind. So at the present time, in the conditions of the formation of the 4th stage of human evolution, digital intelligence begins to prevail over the human mind, and artificial intelligence takes on the role of a world oracle capable of predicting the future in an incredible way.

The purpose of this article is to study the evolution of approaches to understanding social entrepreneurship in the context of sustainable development. Within the framework of this scientific article, the main approaches to the interpretation of social entrepreneurship, its essence and specificity were considered. It is revealed that in the absence of a unified approach to the interpretation of this phenomenon, regardless of the different connotations, the essence of social entrepreneurship is as follows: it is aimed at achieving social change or solving social problems. In addition, the author has studied the history of the development of the Institute of social entrepreneurship, with special attention paid to scientists who have made a significant contribution to its development and dissemination. One of the research tasks set in the framework of this scientific article was to consider the relationship between social entrepreneurship and sustainable development in the context of foreign research. The author concludes that one of the indicators of the stability of the region is its anti-crisis potential, which consists in its ability to respond quickly to changes in the external environment, with social entrepreneurship being one of the factors of its development. Conclusions. Within the framework of this study, it was revealed that social entrepreneurship is one of the factors that ensure the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of regions in the Russian Federation. In addition, the concept of social entrepreneurship has gradually been integrated into the system of sustainable development and at the present stage is one of the factors contributing to the strengthening of this system.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the essence and features of N.O. Lossky’s socio-philosophical and political approach to the state and evolution of state power. Conclusions. 1. The article proves that the views of the Russian philosopher on state power in Russia represent a balanced and objective analysis. 2. N.O. Lossky’s position on the internal and external tasks of state power deserves attention in our time.

In the article, the author considers the question of the relationship between the integration of innovations, united by the concept of Industry 4.0, and the concept of sustainable development, which in modern conditions of civilizational turbulence continues to be in the foreground. Taking as a basis the basic components of the sustainable development paradigm – the economy, society and ecology, the author examines the impact on them of basic innovations generated on technologies that make up the essence of Industry 4.0 – big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, Internet services, cyber-physical systems. The results of the analysis show that there are ultimately two basic scenarios that can be formed on the basis of scientific discourse: an optimistic one, whose supporters tend to see only positive features of accelerating the development of the economy and society of modern civilization, thanks to the introduction of innovations, and a pessimistic one, whose supporters point to the likelihood of social and environmental shocks that can be expressed in a significant, and possibly almost complete restructuring of modern social reality, leading to the disappearance of entire professions, the transition of huge masses of the population at the world level to the poverty line, a radical transformation of social interaction practices and the “fabric” of social reality at all. The author advocates the so-called balanced approach, which is applied in this work.

The article deals with the philosophical and anthropological aspects of narcissism as a specific characteristic of personality. The author analyzes the concept of “narcissism”, its causes, explains the narcissistic character from the point of view of psychoanalytic, philosophical-anthropological and cultural-historical psychological concepts. The purpose of the study is to define the concept of the phenomenon of narcissism and the principles of its formation. Results. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the narcissistic personality type is the result of lack of personal development motivational-needs. As the basis for this conclusion, in the course of the research, specific properties of a narcissistic character are singled out, which are characteristic of describing the crisis of the age period of 3–7 years. The author concludes that in case of violation of intra-family relations, the process of self-identification is violated, as a result of which the structure of the Self freezes in development. The formation of this process determines how the child identifies himself with his parents and what role he takes in these relationships. At the same time, the author takes into account gender characteristics that determine the role of the child in the family and the attitude of the father and mother towards him. The author concludes that in order to overcome the narcissistic structure of the personality, personal reflection and introspective awareness of the act of one’s own consciousness is necessary, leading to the formation of a new structure of the psyche.

The purpose of the research. The article deals with the problems of defining the concept of «planetarism» as a new religious phenomenon within the framework of the internal ideological policy of the state, influencing the internal political processes of state administration and the nature of international interaction in the foreign policy arena. The change in the content of the concept of “planetarism” in its historical retrospective is analyzed, demonstrating the process of gradual separation of the concept of “planetarism” from the concept of “globalization” into an independent definition. The aim of the study is to formulate our own definition of the concept of “planetarism” as a new religious movement in the ideological context of state policy. This is necessary to determine the main directions of public administration in the context of value confrontation in the international arena, as well as for more effective legislative support for the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated November 09, 2022 No. 809 “On Approval of the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values”. The laws of nature, within the framework of the concept of “planetarism”, began to act as a kind of absolute, which became a kind of scale for the ethical assessment of certain social processes and phenomena, which makes it possible to consider “planetarism” as a new form of religious movement. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the ongoing socio-political processes reflect changes in the ideological basis of interstate cooperation. The basis of the new ideological orientation, called “planetarism”, is the idea of the planet Earth as a common “home” for all mankind. Within the framework of the “planetarism” concept, the planet acts not just as a common place of residence for all people, but also as an independent superorganism that has its own consciousness and rights along with the rights of the people themselves. The author, emphasizing the dualistic structure of “planetarism”, which includes, on the one hand, cognitive ideas about the unconditional value of the planet and natural laws, and on the other hand, faith in these values and ideas by analogy with religious faith, proposes to consider “planetarism” as a group of non-theistic beliefs, philosophical and ideological ideas that have arisen around the idea of our Planet as a kind of independent superorganism that gave life to all living things, has the ability of reasonable self-regulation in order to maintain life in all its diversity in accordance with the laws established by it.
