The purpose of the research. The article substantiates the methodological principles of studying the social mechanisms of trust formation in transforming economic relations, synthesized in the activity-phenomenological approach. Social and political global challenges that affect trust in society, including those related to the dynamics of world economic indicators, are analyzed. As a conceptual basis for defining the concept of trust, the authors rely on the studies of E. Giddens, N. Luhmann, F. Fukuyama, P. Sztompka. The scientific novelty of the study is the clarification of the concept of social mechanisms for the formation of trust. These are reproducible stable forms of optimization of social relations, their main significance is in the integration of social practices and institutions. Results. The authors propose to analyze two types of trust models in transforming economic relations - institutional and subject-oriented trust. The authors rely on the activity-phenomenological approach in the theories of E. Husserl, A. Schutz, M. Wartofsky, G.P. Shchedrovitsky, L. Wittgenstein. Therefore, they propose the following principles for studying the social mechanisms of trust formation: ontological validity, ecological validity, representativeness and epistemological validity. The main methodological difficulties in the study of trust may arise due to insufficient attention to contextuality in trust models, including latent processes in the economy associated with such phenomena as protectionism or corruption. Therefore, attention is focused on the need to typify trust models depending on cultural historical conditions and the effects of economic and political challenges that manifest themselves in these conditions.

The article describes some aspects of the attitude of modern student youth of two Russian regions to the concepts behind the word “religio” (religion). The latter is understood in connotation with three normative forms for the history of the Russian community: 1) as a basic spiritual and moral concept that underlies the life of every individual, the state and the entire human community as a whole (Cicero’s «religio» paradigm); 2) philosophical and confessional legal norms of the 1000-year history of Christianity in Russia; 3) the phenomenology of humanism and religious tolerance in relation to the anthropological foundations of the individual and collective life of each member of the global community. The results of a survey of 235 students from Arkhangelsk and Vladimir on issues related to the modern attitude of young people to understanding the concept of religion are also reflected.

The article presents the author’s view on the problem of ideological stability in modern realities. The article examines the essence and features of the process of forming the ideological stability of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia as a social component of the moral and psychological support of their official activities. Based on the results of the study, the paper presents an analysis of the modern approach to the formation of ideological stability of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in educational and service activities. The article considers the methodological approach to the interdisciplinary concept of “personality”, the features of ensuring professional orientation and the process of adaptation of cadets to educational activities. The article reflects the nuances of the alarming state of ideological confrontation with Western apologists, provides a number of modern analytical examples with characteristics of the main areas of counteraction. As today’s practice shows, in the conditions of a frenzied propaganda campaign, against the background of a migration explosion, security, the standard of living of ordinary citizens and GDP growth, the level of value orientations in the European Union is also gradually decreasing, and Western political scientists are trying to denigrate the achievements and great exploits of the Russian people in all ways, and not only the media. In accordance with the logic and purpose of the article, the main directions for the ideological and humanistic formation of the personality of a cadet, a future law enforcement officer, a citizen of Russia in the conditions of educational activity and further service are presented.

Goal. In the article we research applicability of business judgement rule to actions of a majority shareholder taking in the account specificities of non-public commercial corporations. Analysis of application of the rule to a majority shareholder’s actions in view of non-public corporation’s legal nature was conducted only in the Peeples’ paper [13]. However, this analysis fails to take into the account ability of shareholders of corporations to apply informal sanctions against each other. The goal of this article is to supplement current understanding of legal nature of non-public corporation and to elaborate additional grounds for application of the rule. Inferences. In the article we confirm the conclusion that justification of application of the rule in non-public corporations has specificities derivative from the legal nature of such corporations. Besides that, we conclude that the rule’s application may depend upon ability of shareholders to deter opportunistic behavior by informal sanctions. Value. The article for the first time proves that the legal nature of non-public corporations depends not only upon trust between shareholders, but from their ability to apply informal sanctions as a mean of protection from opportunistic behavior of a counteragent. Given this, we suppose that the state’s role in protection of rights and interests of minority shareholders may be decreased.

This article will analyze the legal governance system of international football organisations, with a focus on international sports arbitration under the jurisdiction of CAS and consider how Chinese sportsman can use legal weapons to avoid a vicious circle in the face of crises and seek more benign external interactions, with a view to establishing a voice for Chinese sport.
