The econophysical model of innovation diffusion

Analysis and evaluation of innovation efficiency require the development of tools to model their dissemination process within the industry. This paper presents a model of innovation diffusion based on physical approaches, describing stages of accelerating and decelerating growth. An exponential growth is described using a diffusion model, while a logarithmic one employs an electrical engineering model. The paper presents the correspondence of physical parameters with their economic counterpart: size of a company; characteristic of speed of information exchange between firms; company’s willingness to innovate; inter-firm influence and the breakthrough level of innovation. The theoretical model obtained was tested on historical data of innovation implementation in the fuel and energy complex, followed by adjustments of coefficients depending on the branch of innovation implementation. The developed model is applicable for describing the process of innovation dissemination in any industry in the country, as well as for investment and business planning in companies and decision-making on investments in innovation projects. When applied in industries with low levels of innovation activity, an increase in the level of high-tech production and the share of organizations implementing technological innovations is predicted. Using the example of Russia’s fuel and energy sector, rising in the technological level of enterprises and a decrease in import dependence are forecasted.

Russia in the politics of South Caucasus countries after 2022

The research question is how national governments and civil societies reflect Russian involvement in the decision-making process of South Caucasus countries in 2022–2024? The structure of the research includes two sections: 1) Strategic interests of the countries of the South Caucasus and Russia in 2022–2024; 2) Changing the role of Russia in the South Caucasus in 2022–2024. In result of the research it was revealed that opting for a policy of normalization Georgia cannot renounce its territory (Abkhazia and South Ossetia). Azerbaijan has been the most consistent among the Caucasian countries in challenging Russian hegemony in the region. This trend intensified after the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine: Azerbaijan increased humanitarian aid to Ukraine; pro-Ukrainian sympathies in Azerbaijani society were expressed through a number of leading media outlets that openly supported Kyiv. Baku unilaterally reviewed the ceasefire agreement - 2020, mediated by Russia. Amid the international isolation of the Kremlin, Azerbaijan began to play a much larger role for Russia. Baku is important link in the chain of diplomatic and economic ties of Putin's regime. Russia tries to maintain productive relations with Baku, even at the expense of its long-time ally Armenia. Yerevan revises its foreign policy, favouring a pro-Western vector. In Yerevan, the pro-Russian opposition organized rallies against the current government. Moscow and Baku both gained mutual benefits: Russia destabilized the situation in Armenia, and Azerbaijan restored its territorial integrity. However, these actions of Moscow struck at its influence in the region, marginalizing Russia and its "guarantees." The Caucasus provides a clear example of Russia's inability to continue playing the role of a major power: it simply lacks the strength and means.

Unsuccessful Peace-making: the Mission of Francesco da Collo and Antonio de Conti to Moscow (1518-1519)

This article explores the peace mission of Francesco da Collo and Antonio de Conti, envoys of Emperor Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire, to Grand Prince Vasily III of Moscow in 1518–1519. The mission aimed to mediate between Moscow and the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, seeking to align both states for a planned united Christian campaign against the Ottoman Empire, whose expansion in Southeastern Europe posed a serious threat. The study centers on da Collo’s report from the mission, which not only chronicles the negotiations but also provides rare insights into Russian diplomacy and courtly traditions of the early 16th century. The article underscores the critical role of ceremonial practices, such as receptions, banquets, and hunts, in the diplomatic culture of the period.Particular focus is given to da Collo's accounts of his interactions with Vasily III and his entourage, highlighting the crucial importance of personal meetings and informal contacts in the diplomatic process of the time. Despite the envoys' efforts, the mission achieved only a temporary one-year truce, with insurmountable barriers to a comprehensive peace including territorial disputes—especially over the control of Smolensk—and the issue of repatriating Russian prisoners of war from Poland.Furthermore, da Collo’s report serves as an early illustration of how Muscovy was constructed as an eastern, despotic power, offering one of the first examples of Russia being depicted as the “Other” in early modern European thought. The study sheds light on the complex dynamics of diplomacy in this era and reveals how these interactions contributed to the broader European perception of Russia as an alien and adversarial state.

Organizing activities of student associations in higher education institutions of Russia and China

Introduction. Student associations of higher education institutions contribute to successful socialization and early professionalization. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that designing educational and upbringing programs for future bachelors and masters of social work at the university, great importance is to be attached to professionally focused student associations. The study aims to develop and test the authors' practice-oriented methodology for training future specialists in social work in the context of student associations of higher education institutions using the example of Russia and China. Materials and methods. To determine the readiness of students for professional activities in the context of student associations, the authors conducted a survey based on the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education Kostroma State University; it lasted from September to December 2023 and involved 1-4 year students (100 people) specializing in social work. Research methods and techniques were: content analysis of documents, frequency analysis, observation, survey, questionnaires and experience generalization. Results. The authors’ methodology for organizing student associations activities was developed; psychological and pedagogical conditions necessary for the training of future bachelors of social work were experimentally tested and clarified. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of how student associations activities in universities in Russia and China are organized. The abovementioned authors' methodology helps students form meanings and values: professional experience (23.25%); communication with friends (19.77%); social support and assistance to people in difficult life situations (15.11%); participation and organization of work forms related to professional activity (12.79%); obtaining new knowledge (9.30%), emotions (4.65%); teamwork (6.98%); visiting professionally focused institutions (3.49%). Conclusion. The ‘Social Work’ educational program includes practices of the following student associations: Abilympics, PROVICH, Studaktiv, Student Scientific Community in the Social Work Training Program ‘#SR’, and Chinese Student Association of Kostroma State University. Organizing activities of student associations is held in accordance with the following pedagogical conditions: assistance of the head of the student association in searching for variability in professional self-determination; psychological and pedagogical conditions; organizational and pedagogical conditions (external): internal environment of student association’s activities (pedagogical potential: managerial, educational, existential); the level of comfort students enjoy when working in the student association program; external environment of the student association (social partners, employers, social protection institutions, etc.); as well as internal psychological and pedagogical conditions (subjective conditions that contribute to the formation of personal psychological mechanisms of professional development).

Regional dimension of the efficiency-support nexus in agriculture: Testing the land value approach in Russia

State support for agriculture is a crucial tool for adjusting the competitive advantages of agricultural producers to a volatile market environment. In countries with diverse natural conditions for agriculture, however, the allocation of subsidies often focuses on bridging spatial development gaps rather than maximizing the return on inputs. To improve the efficiency of resource use in agriculture, it is essential to tailor subsidy criteria to regional disparities in agricultural potential. Using the example of Russia’s 81 administrative regions, the authors have tested a five-stage methodology for determining the support-generated parameters of output, efficiency, impact, revenue, and profitability. This methodology takes into account both natural and economic factors that contribute to the competitive advantages of each region. The study aims to identify the parts of the performance indicators, such as gross agricultural output and revenue, that are influenced by the amount of subsidies in five different types of territories, which are categorized by the cadastral value of their farmland. It has been found that the allocation of subsidies is not entirely based on the return on the funds allocated. There is a discrepancy between the competitive advantages of these territories in agricultural production and the amount of funds they receive through government support programs. The efficiency of government support differs significantly depending on the type of agricultural product produced in each territory. The approach developed by the authors provides a tool that policy makers can use when tuning the allocation of subsidies based on the differences in the agricultural potential of each territory.

Authoritarian responsiveness online: social media strategy of Russian regional governance centers

ABSTRACT This article is dedicated to authoritarian responsiveness and feedback mechanisms that autocratic regimes exploit to keep citizens loyal, using the example of Russia. The study aims to describe how the Russian government uses online feedback mechanisms in political communication. I focus on the activities of the Regional Governance Centers, i.e. project management offices designed to establish communication between authorities and citizens. This communication system represents a proactive approach where authorities initiate engagement with citizens rather than passively receiving complaints. I analyze the content of VK communities operated by these project management offices, where they report how the authorities solve citizens’ problems initially indicated by citizens on social media. The explorative text analysis shows that Regional Governance Centers mostly report on how authorities process citizens’ complaints and solve problems indicated by them. They also promote live Q&A sessions with regional and local authorities and advertise financial support that different groups of citizens can get from the government. Posts containing information about how to communicate directly with officials, warnings about bad weather conditions, information about financial assistance from the government, and self-promotion of these Regional Governance Centers are the most popular in getting user reactions.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ СИСТЕМЫ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ УСТОЙЧИВЫМ РАЗВИТИЕМ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ РОССИИ И КИТАЯ)

The aim of the paper is to develop methodological approaches to the formation of a multi-level system of public administration for sustainable development on the example of Russia and China. The proposed approaches include: general characteristics of the sustainable development management system (subject, object, forms, principles, methods, result), formalization of project selection, principles for identifying project relationships, tools for prioritizing projects, a model for monitoring program performance. Multilevel implies integration not only at the national, mezzo and micro levels, but also at the supranational level - the participation of the United Nations and other international organizations, the implementation of joint projects, primarily with friendly countries. Developed on the example of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 13 “Taking urgent measures to combat climate change and its consequences”, the network management model allows formalizing the choice of projects constituting the program, principles and approaches to identifying the interconnection of projects, tools for prioritizing projects, and can be extrapolated to other SDGs with high network ranks (the degree of mutual influence on other SDGs). To assess the quality of public administration for sustainable development, the following indicators are proposed: the complexity of national programs and the quality of goal setting, adaptability and flexibility of state institutions in implementing sustainable development goals; business involvement in the transition to sustainable development; efficiency and effectiveness of the management system; compliance of legislation and law enforcement with sustainable development objectives; the level of achievement of planned results by the managed system; the degree of publicity when assessment of sustainable projects. Such a set of indicators makes it possible to integrate the assessment of the managed and the management system, to highlight the role of the management system in the results achieved by the managed system.

Public health: Policy priorities and regulatory strategy

The subject of this article is the Institute of Public Health. The authors have identified trends affecting the change of approaches to public health and its regulatory mechanisms, and presented a theoretical and legal justification for the definition of public health. Using the example of Russia, the authors determined the scope of constitutional and legal regulation of public health, and formulated conclusions about the fragmentation and complexity of law-making in this area. It is proved that the implementation of social policy in the field of public health is carried out at three public legal levels: international, state and local self-government, however, their subjects of competence and powers are not balanced and systematically distributed. It is concluded that the transformation of social policy should be carried out taking into account the legal experience of the states interacting within the framework of the CIS and the EAEU.

Thanatolatry as a signifier of totalitarian ideology (on the example of russia)

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the russian federation has led to the actualisation of the discourse of cultural confrontation. The rule of vladimir putin has not only led to the establishment of a totalitarian regime in russia, but also led to the formation of the cult of death. The cult of death (thanatolatry) should be understood as the emergence of social and cultural practices that are directly related to death. The main idea is to recreate the USSR by creating a necrophiliac ideology. In which the life of any citizen is levelled and deformed. A decent life is replaced by a glorious death, with arms in hand, in a foreign country. Through propaganda, russian ideology promotes the idea of death as the main virtue of a citizen. The process of such ideological processing begins in childhood and is supported by various state organisations throughout a person’s life, with the activities of the Wagner PMC and the immortal regiment Association being particularly prominent. Understanding this phenomenon will help Ukrainian authorities and society to better respond to the challenges posed by russia’s policy of genocide of the Ukrainian nation.

On the example of Russia, Poland and Germany as countries from different parts of Europe, the principles and measures that are taken to protect the environment in the context of digital transformation are considered. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach and includes a group of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization); as well as a number of special methods: historiographical analysis of scientific literature on the topic of the study; the method of expert assessments, the method of statistical analysis and verification of research results. An empirical study was based on responses from 75 experts on environmental principles and measures across the European continent. The representative sample was formed on a regional basis and consisted of three expert groups: 25 experts from Russia; 25 experts from Poland and 25 experts from Germany. Based on the results of the study, the author comes to the following conclusions: in Russia, digital transformation is reflected in new forms and methods of state control in the field of environmental protection; Poland is developing a system of enforcement legislation in the field of air, water and raw material quality sensors in the food industry; in Germany, the focus is on public-private partnerships in the field of subsidizing the digitalization of private enterprises to equip environmental protection systems.

СУЩНОСТЬ И МЕХАНИЗМА РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ КАДРОВОГО ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ ВЫСОКОТЕХНОЛОГИЧНЫХ КОМПАНИЙ

Staffing is a significant part of the labour market. In modern conditions, the staffing process is not only designed by the state but also with the involvement of companies and industries which usually includes such stages as: the formation of personnel requests, personnel training, and their professional development. Due to the evolution of industries into high-tech industries, there are certain advanced skills demanded in labourers by the high-tech companies in the 21st century. States need to focus on developing, reskilling and upskilling modern labour to fulfil the demand of the market together by having active and productive collaboration with high-tech companies. This article describes the definition of high-tech companies formulated by the author and classifies the criteria of high-tech specialties based on the example of Russia and India which helps to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of staffing the high-tech specialists. The article also classifies the problems of staffing high-tech specialists by the high-tech companies which can include the aspects of education and training of highly qualified specialists such as retraining, advanced training of employees, planning and forecasting of producing high-tech specialists, recruitment, selection and finally control & assessment of the quantitative and qualitative composition of employees. After classifying the problems of staffing, the author concludes the mechanism for implementing the state policy of staffing high-tech companies which would be useful for the government to develop effective and productive policies of staffing high-tech specialties for high-tech companies. The purpose of the topic is to determine the essence and mechanism of implementation of the state policy of staffing high-tech industries Objective: 1) classify the criteria of highly qualified specialists; 2) state the definition of high-tech companies; 3) classify the problems of staffing in high-tech companies; 4) conclude mechanism for implementing the state policy of staffing high-tech companies. Methodology. The theoretical basis of the article is formulated based on the study and understanding of the works of prominent Russian economists, which explore issues of staffing on a systematic approach to reveal the integrity of the staffing mechanism.

Relacje Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej z wybranymi państwami koalicji rewizjonistycznej – studium przypadku na przykładzie Rosji, Pakistanu oraz Iranu

The People’s Republic of China’s relations with selected members of the revistionary coalition – a case study on the example of Russia, Pakistan and Iran There are many indications that China’s unquestionable successes in expanding its own reserve of economic and military power have simultaneously awakened the national pride and ambitions of the Chinese people. This, however, has led to an awareness of China’s limited ability to shape the international environment and to pursue its own interests in the international arena. As a result, the Chinese have adopted a revisionist policy with the aim of finally undermining the existing global order – after all, the ultimate goal is to achieve the position of hegemon (with all the benefits and responsibilities that implies). It should be noted, however, that a change of hegemon can only occur through a hegemonic war – which will result in the emergence of a new prestige hierarchy with a pretender as the new world leader. To prepare for a hegemonic clash, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is constantly expanding its economic and military influence (both internally and externally). Above all, China is trying to attract other dissatisfied states into its own coalition, forming the so‑called „revisionist coalition”. To do so, the Chinese offer other countries potentially lucrative trade deals, extensive investment, low- or no‑interest loans and development assistance. This paper intends to popularize the author’s perspective on hegemonic change within international relations – termed „hegemonic realism” as it best reflects the assumptions of the proposed theory. These theoretical assumptions and the author’s model of hegemonic change will be used in the rest of the article to analyze the dynamics of the relations between selected revisionist states and China as a contender for global hegemony. The author’s thesis is that states join the revisionist coalition in order to increase their own military and economic power. The case study will focus on China’s relations with Russia, Pakistan and Iran – all of which are seen by the author as key allies of the PRC on the Asian continent – due to their resources of power and revisionist policies. The study used secondary research sources, including academic publications and journalistic articles in Polish and English. Three methods were used in the research process: comparative analysis, historical‑critical method and desk research method.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Environmental Activities in the Russian Federation: Problems and Prospects

The issues of financing environmental protection activities are considered and the relevance of this topic is emphasized in the light of assessing its effectiveness using the example of Russia. An econometric study was conducted based on the volume of investment in capital for environmental protection and the values of key environmental indicators using the method of regression analysis. The lack of sufficient connection between investments and environmental indicators was revealed. A conclusion was made about the need for more comprehensive research, as well as the advisability of using systemic measures, including non-financial ones, to improve environmental activities.

Comparison of the Level and Quality of Life of the Population of Russia and China

In the context of global social tension, the issues of the standard of living of the population of developed and developing countries are becoming relevant. The purpose of the study is to test the theoretical and methodological prerequisites and hypotheses in assessing the level and quality of life of the population on the example of the countries of China and Russia, which will identify the most complex elements in this area. Research methods. The following were used in the work: coefficients and growth rates, grouping, ranking according to the studied parameters of the standard of living. The method of grouping, correlation, regression, imputation, statistical evaluation, description, comparison, analysis, synthesis, normalization and integral evaluation method. The study was based on the application of the basic techniques of Safiullin M.R. and Kocheryagina N.V. Results. As part of the study, a team of authors obtained an assessment of the standard of living of the population in China and Russia, characterized on the basis of qualitative and quantitative indicators using published statistical data. Regional features in the field of quality of life were established and typical differences in the field of quality of life in both countries were identified. Novelty. The study proposes to evaluate the standard of living of citizens by the formula of normalized quality-quantity coefficients, taking into account the identification of the role of nutritional factors, economic well-being, mortality and life support of the population in the field of the quality of life of the population on the example of Russia and China according to related statistical data. Conclusion. The study shows that the standard of living of the population can be grouped by a normalized coefficient using the example of the countries of Russia and China. Qualitative analysis made it possible to determine the features and give a qualitative and quantitative assessment of life indicators in Russia and China, which is relevant in the context of the current negative impact of economic processes on the social sphere.

Ecolinguistic Approach to Overcoming the Linguistic Inequality in Spain (by the Example of the Language Situation in Russia)

The problem of preserving and protecting the native language today is relevant in a multinational and polyconfessional state in today’s era of globalisation and European economic integration. The purpose of the article is to examine the internal destruction of the linking function of a single official language, to analyze the discriminatory status of the Spanish language in modern Spain, to predict the consequences of such a language policy and to carry out a comparative analysis of the language situation in Spain and Russia. The object of the study is the Spanish language as the official language of the Kingdom of Spain and its role, significance and functions in the regions of the country, reflecting the political processes of recent decades. Comparative, historical and typological approaches are used, as well as the methods of observation, analysis and modeling. The author investigates the causes of the linguistic inequality in Spain and states the negative consequences of the language policy pursued by the government. Practical recommendations have been developed to overcome the current problems in the country’s language policy, based on the example of Russia.

The Mongol Conquest and the National Construction in Russia

The paper aims to examine the relationship of the Mongol Conquest and national construction. Over hundreds of years, national construction and nationalism included elements which were originated to medieval time. In the 13th century, a storm of Mongol swept the whole continent. It is evident that Mongol made great effect on the west and east Asia. The paper first introduces the situation of the Mongol conquest. In spite of blooding massacre, some constructive regimes or patterns were influential in China, Russia and the Islam world. The paper takes the example of Russia and discusses different perspectives on the effect of Mongols. The example illustrates the diverse views on Mongol. These views contain aspects in economy, geopolitics, regime and so forth. Via comparing different views and angles, the paper summarizes negative and positive opinions in historiography and criticizes extreme perspectives. Some regimes or cultures could be controversial because geopolitics and domestic traditions also make a difference. Ultimately, the study proposes that it is significant to keep a cautious attitude to the history of the Mongol Conquest and the work in pursuit of facts continues. How to perceive Mongol conquest should be cautious and it could prevent dropping into aggressive nationalism.
