For a number of years, a significant trend in Russia and around the world has been the "Europeanization" of education, and the main goal of the XXI century in many institutions of higher education has been "survival in new conditions", which has pushed into the background the quality of education, training and professional growth of future musicians-performers. This led to the blurring of the boundaries of education, reorientation to the immediate needs of society, the values of which were largely brought up by the Western system. However, the rapid change in the geopolitical situation in the world has had a significant impact on the socio-cultural situation in Russia. Unprecedented external pressure caused an unexpected reverse effect for many foreign "partners" - the growth of patriotic sentiments in Russia, the growth of national consciousness, an appeal to the historically established values of Russian education and its quality. The article discusses aspects of the training of future musicians-performers, taking into account the principles of a competence-based approach that allows you to manage and control the quality of education at the university.

The authors consider organizational issues related to the preparation of cadets of the Samara Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for service in institutions and bodies of the penal system. Of course, in order for the penal enforcement system to develop, it is necessary that every year the ranks of employees include well-trained personnel who understand the importance of working in the penitentiary system. The article analyzes the disciplines that are given special attention when preparing cadets for service, depending on the specialty and field of activity. In addition, the aspects of practical training with trips outside the institute on the territory of various correctional institutions located within the Samara region are considered more positively. It was concluded that practical visits to various types of correctional institutions favorably affect the cadets' understanding of the essence of the penal system. Communicating with current employees, cadets form an idea of their future activities. It is the process of sharing experience that is the key point of practice. This is due to the fact that some current employees have been working in the system for many years and know how to behave in emergency situations that occur almost every day in the penal system.

As an example of exercises, assignments to the topic "Prefixes with the meaning of negation" are given. The authors come to the conclusion that when performing exercises, the students' vocabulary is enriched with words that include the most frequent international prefixes, familiarity with Latin words, and understanding of the process of borrowing words.

The article offers a completely new perspective for Dostoevsky studies of the study of Dostoevsky's artistic creativity, specifically one of the novels of the «great five books» – the novel «The Prossessed». The concept of «horizons of expectations», which is used in the presented study, has received its justification within the framework of the receptive aesthetics of G.R. Jauss. In the works of Jauss, the main attention is paid to the peculiarities of the reader's perception of the text. In our study, we propose to expand the possibilities of this approach. Therefore, the concept of «horizon of expectations» is used by us in relation not only to the level of reader's perception of the text, but also to the «expectations» of the writer and the characters of the novel. For this purpose, draft versions of the text are involved, which help to trace the dynamics of the author's idea and, accordingly, the change of the «horizons of expectations» of the writer. Equally important is the analysis of the «horizons of expectations» of the most important characters, their change, mutual intersection or substitution. This allows, firstly, to rethink the plot roles of the main characters of the novel (Stepan Trofimovich Verkhovensky, Stavrogin, Pyotr Verkhovensky, Shatov, Kirillov), as well as a number of female characters, and, secondly, to expand the ideas available in Dostoevsky studies about the conceptual meaning of each artistic image in the novel as a whole.

The object of the article is the archetype of the Moon in the Russian culture. The subject of the article is the variable images of the crescent and full Moon in the Russian poetry. The material of the article is represented by two poems – “The Demons” by A.S. Pushkin and “Through fields of virgin snow I roam” by S.A. Yesenin. The cultural and philosophical analysis focuses on the interrelation of two types of reality, the phenomenal and the noumenal, the rational and the spontaneous in art. Much attention is paid to the problem of transformation of the Moon image in poetry; the Moon’s hypostatic nature is analysed. The author traces the change in depiction of the Moon’s image within a single literary text. The author examines the text describing the blizzard and the demonic myth associated with the Moon’s archetype in the Russian literature. The research methodology represents a holistic ontological hermeneutic analysis of poetic texts by Pushkin and Yesenin aimed at highlighting the cultural potential of the problem of dualism in the Russian national world image, which makes it possible to describe the material from ontological positions and gain an insight into the poetic word. The work results can be of interest to philologists who include literature in the space of the great dialogue of cultures. The findings can also be used in teaching cultural studies and Russian philosophy courses.

The article deals with the work of the composer A.K. Glazunov in a relatively new paradigm. In this regard, the author resorted to biographical, musicological methods of research, as well as to system analysis. On the example of his work "Salome", the composer's contribution to the world of symbolism, popular in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, is considered. The Dance of Salome, written for Ida Rubenstein and performed by her in defiance of censorship restrictions, is a prime example of the innovative art of the time. Other outstanding artists of that time also worked on the production - Meyerhold, Bakst, Fokin. The article studies the role of exotic music in the work of A.K. Glazunov. Research findings: A.K. Glazunov created a magnificent symbolist work in the spirit of the advanced ideas of his time, revealing new facets of his talent. In the work of A.K. Glazunov's "Salome" is not the only "exotic" work, there were several more, including "Spanish Serenade" (1888), "Oriental Dream" (1888), "Oriental Tale" from the string quartet "Five Novels" (1886) , "Oriental Dance" from ballet scenes (1904), "Bacchanalia" from the opera "Raymonda" (1898), Oriental Rhapsody (1889), Oriental Suite (1895) and the song "Oriental Romance" in addition to an excerpt from "Seasons", used in "Cleopatra".

In the world philosophical and aesthetic tradition, the idea of a hero as a spiritually and physically perfect person who, performing a feat, becomes the personification of worthy behavior has been formed. In a feat, the inner strength, strong-willed and moral qualities of the individual, the ability to rise above the ordinary, to destroy the boundaries of the possible are most clearly manifested. An analysis of the historiography of Lugansk theaters allows us to state that the ideological context of the time determined the repeated appeal of Lugansk theaters in the Soviet period of their formation to the heroic theme. The historical self-identification of the region led Lugansk directors to turn to the historical events that took place in the Lugansk region during the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War.

The article examines the problem of the heroic personality of the Young Guard through the prism of director's work, which is a category of feat, which is determined by a set of personal properties.

The study provides an analysis of the creative practice of Lugansk theaters of the 20th century. and modernity from the standpoint of understanding the feat of the Young Guard. It is noted that the historical self-identification of the region led the Lugansk directors to turn to the historical events that took place in the Lugansk region during the Great Patriotic War, as a result of which the performances "The Young Guard", feat of the youth.
