Constitutional and Legal Foundations of Interaction Between the State and Civil Society in Ensuring the Protection of State Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of the Russian Federation

Introduction. The relevance of the study is caused by three main factors. First, there is the need for further in-depth scientific and legal analysis of the amendments 2020 to the Constitution, which contain a number of fundamentally new provisions for domestic constitutional legislation that consolidate the legal foundations for ensuring the protection of state sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. Secondly, the undoubted interest of the Russian state in modern conditions in the development of civil society in Russia as a whole, and in particular its individual institutions that have a direct impact on the activities of the state in this area, as well as the understanding that in modern conditions only with the support and active participation of civil society in the policy implemented by the state In the field of protection of state sovereignty, it is possible to achieve the set goals and objectives. Thirdly, the difficult geopolitical situation that the Russian Federation has been in for the past ten years, striving to preserve state sovereignty and prove its belonging to one of the leading countries of the world under unprecedented pressure from the collective West. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The theoretical basis of this study is made up of scientific works of scientists in the field of the theory of state and law, constitutional law, administrative law. The work uses general scientific methods (system analysis, dialectical, formal-logical) and special research methods (system-legal, comparative-legal, historical-legal, formal-legal). Results. Firstly, based on the supremacy of national sovereignty over state sovereignty, the need to strengthen the latter through the development of institutions (elements) of civil society, which carry out certain types of relevant public (socially useful) activities provided for in legislation in this area, is justified. Secondly, the requirements imposed on the institutions of civil society, called upon, especially during the period of a special military operation, to carry out activities aimed at strengthening the state sovereignty of the Russian Federation, are highlighted. Thirdly, a scientifically based conclusion has been made that the term “civil society” to a greater extent than the legal category “people” emphasizes the presence of common interests among citizens of the Russian Federation, awareness of their constitutional rights and freedoms and opportunities and desire to carry out, especially during the period of a special military operation, public (socially useful) activities, including those aimed at ensuring state sovereignty. Discussion and Conclusion. In the context of further increasing threats to the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation, there is a need to consolidate civil society in the current legislation as a source of democracy and the basis of the constitutional system, its formation as a public law institution designed to be the natural support of the state, to perform appropriate functions in the field of patriotic, including military-patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation Federations, as well as stabilizing functions that allow consolidating the interests of the state and society, using its full potential to protect national interests.

THE TRANSHISTORICAL MEANINGS OF UKRAINIAN TRADITION IN THE GUIDELINES OF MODERN NATIONAL PATRIOTIC EDUCATION

The article is devoted to the analysis of the historical foundations and theoretical foundations of the formation of effective foundations of modern national-patriotic education in the contexts of war and peace. Particular attention is paid to revealing the internal dialectic and tragedy of the self-assertion of the Ukrainian idea during the times of enslavement and colonization. The article proves that even when the Ukrainian intelligentsia, trying to balance between East and West, could not decide on national priorities, dividing Ukraine between Muscovites and the Polish nobility, the leading role of preserving and transmitting national meanings was assigned to folk art, which even through the ages has preserved its creative potential and the power of initiative. It has been proven that heroic epics contain experiences of cultural and social traumas, as well as deep philosophical reflections on the strength of the national character, the ability to sacrifice for the sake of the Motherland. The author hopes that this will allow not only to find out the actual significance of the historical-cultural component in the strategies of national-patriotic education, but also to carry out a methodological procedure for distinguishing effective and appellate patriotism on a practical level, which will allow developing a comprehensive program of actualizing the transhistorical meanings of national-patriotic education and military-patriotic education in modern educational practices. Undoubtedly, the use of the heuristic potential of the national tradition as a guide for the development of the theoretical and methodological foundations of patriotic education requires a critical reflection of the experience of their theoretical understanding in the problematic field of the philosophy of education and philosophical anthropology. This will make it possible to identify pathologies and minimize the risks of resuscitation of totalitarian practices in the education of patriots. The identified features and specifics of the implementation of national-patriotic education in wartime will allow the transition from the policy of duty to the policy of responsibility. It is noted that an important role is played by the actualization of the semantics of heroization, militarization and the formation of a positive topos of a serviceman.

Forging Frontline Russians

This article considers efforts by the de facto authorities of non-governmental-controlled areas (NGCAs) of eastern Ukraine to shape regional identity from 2014 through 2021. It focuses on the paradoxes of top-down identity construction in an environment of mixed popular sentiments, fluid borders, and an uncertain political future. It argues that nascent identity construction projects in the NGCAs were often inconsistent and unclear, emphasizing different layers of “candidate Fatherlands,” be it the individual self-declared republics, the Donbas, Novorossiia, the Russian Federation, or a broader Russian civilization. While internally inconsistent and contradictive, however, the various initiatives often took antemurale political myths as a point of departure. These myths spin around the idea that regional inhabitants constitute a particular brand of “frontline Russians”—hardened warriors protecting a western outpost of the Russian civilization. Even as “candidate Fatherlands” came and went, this ideational core manifested not only in policy and aloof declarations, but also in a persistent growth of so-called military-patriotic education in the region. Militarized ideas of political identity became mainstream within the occupied areas—reflecting both influences from Russia and the ongoing war.

ЦІННІСНІ ОРІЄНТИРИ ВІЙСЬКОВО-ПАТРІОТИЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ В УМОВАХ СУЧАСНОГО РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ВИЩОЇ ШКОЛИ

The article focuses attention on the importance of prioritizing militarypatriotic education of student youth in higher schools of Ukraine in the conditions of today's realities (war with the Russian Federation). It is emphasized that military- patriotic education is an integral part of patriotic education. It is noted that the organization of military-patriotic education should be aimed at making student youth aware of the significance and importance in their lives of striving to protect their country; formation of psycho-physical and moral-spiritual readiness for service in the army; understanding the values of this important aspect of their life for themselves, their families and the country on the whole. Modern youth should feel the need to protect their country on all fronts, starting directly from the front line and ending with professional, competent, qualified and competent help in the reconstruction of Ukraine. The desire of student youth to join these undoubtedly historic and significant moments of the life of Ukraine will testify to their awareness of civic duty, courage, understanding of the life values, freedom and development; wishes for constructive and positive changes; overcoming those obstacles that prevent the country from flourishing. It is noted that the values of democracy, as shown by professional pedagogical experience, cannot be considered and realized without students' understanding of their own mandatory contribution to the protection and preservation of their state. Emphasis is placed on priority forms and methods of military-patriotic education of student youth. It is emphasized that the military-patriotic aspect of educational activities focuses on: the need of young people to protect those values that are dearest to them; overcoming any manifestations of self-doubt; positive changes in your environment; motivation to make responsible decisions; understanding and feeling like a person who wants and can protect himself, his family and country. Summarizes the importance and priority in the modern higher education of Ukraine: the military-patriotic direction of education of student youth; young people's understanding of the country's values, its protection and independence; students' understanding and solving of social and moral problems in the context of society's challenges; formation of moral thinking, moral maturity and moral self-improvement; recognition of moral provocateurs and false values. It is noted that the democratic values chosen and defended by Ukrainians are confirmed by their desire for a civilizational choice for society, the state and the development of their children, which is an absolute priority in modelling the system of the educational process of modern higher schools of Ukraine.

The article aims to present the results of an All-Ukrainian survey of teachers from institutions of general secondary education on the problem of military-patriotic education among high school students.
 The All-Ukrainian survey of teachers was conducted nationwide from October to November 2023 (during the ascertainment stage of the research) with the support of regional administrations and local education departments.
 The All-Ukrainian survey was carried out within the framework of the applied research topic “Organizational-Pedagogical Conditions and Technologies for Ensuring the Unity of Physical and Military-Patriotic Education of Students of Institutions of General Secondary Education” based on the Laboratory of National-Patriotic Education of the Institute of Problems on Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine (the head is L.V. Kanishevska, Doctor of Sciences in Education, Professor). The organizers of the All-Ukrainian survey of teachers were L. V. Kanishevska – Doctor of Sciences in Education, Professor; V.V. Ragozina – Ph.D., Senior Researcher.
 21665 teachers from 19 regions of Ukraine participated in the All-Ukrainian survey. Such a sample ensures the reliability of the survey results on the problem of military-patriotic education. Teachers participated in the survey voluntarily.
 The diagnostic toolkit was developed in Google Forms and presented in digital format (on Google Drive). Access to the questionnaires was provided to respondents by sending appropriate invitations.
 The questionnaire for teachers was aimed to determine the educators’ readiness to implement the problem of military- patriotic education among high school students. For this purpose, the questionnaire included questions regarding the forms and methods used for implementing military-patriotic education in lessons and extracurricular activities, as well as students’ interest in military-patriotic content.
 The research only covers some aspects of addressing the multifaceted issue of high school students’ military-patriotic education in martial law conditions.

Unity of physical and military-patriotic education of pupils of basic and senior schools

The article examines the content of the unity of physical and military-patriotic education of primary and high school students. It is noted that the relevance of the study is due to the need of society for a decisive, self- sufficient, self-confident, responsible personality who is able to participate in public life and is ready to defend Ukraine with arms. It is noted that general secondary education institutions do not pay enough attention to the physical and military-patriotic education of primary and high school students under martial law. In many general secondary education institutions, military-patriotic and physical education is organized and conducted at a low scientific and methodological level. In the course of the study, we found out that, given the age characteristics of primary and high school students, teachers should develop their physical fitness and foster readiness to defend Ukraine as a value and motivational fitness for military and patriotic activities.We believe that teachers should adhere to the following tasks and recommendations during educational activities: to conduct lectures, trainings on physical and military-patriotic education aimed at forming the basic components of patriotism, physical and military-patriotic education in students; to involve students in intellectual competitions; to involve students in physical education and sports activities, sports competitions with military- patriotic themes; to involve students in creative games-quests aimed at physical and military-patriotic education. Based on the generalization of the achievements of scientists and practitioners on the problem of physical and military-patriotic education of students, we have identified criteria and indicators of physical and military-patriotic education of primary and high school students, which should be used to determine the levels and more.

Involvement of school-age children of Volyn oblast in the all- Ukrainian children and youth military-patriotic game «Sokil» («Dzhura»)

In the conditions of a full-scale war, one of the main tasks of the educational process is to strengthen the work on national-patriotic education of children and youth by analyzing their involvement in the military-patriotic game «Sokil» («Dzhura») and, subsequently, diversifying the form of work on military-patriotic education.

 During the year, the number of students engaged in «Dzhura» ranged from approximately 1,200 to 1,660 in 2019-2023. The highest figure (1,669 people) was recorded in 2019, the lowest (1,205 people) in 2022. This is due to the spread of the COVID- 19 pandemic and the beginning of a full-scale war. According to the age criteria, during the studied years, students of middle school age participated the most (69.9-85.1%), the least - older students (1.8-9.1%); the younger generation occupies the second position (13.2-24.9%). It should be noted that a small proportion of the involved youth aged 15-17 may potentially not contribute to the popularization of the Game, since it is they who are being trained as "kozachata" (small cossacks) for novices. Conclusion. It was determined that the all-Ukrainian children and youth military-patriotic game «Sokil» («Dzhura») in Volyn oblast is carried out systematically and at a high level, attracting participants in three age categories.

«ДИСЦИПЛИНИРОВАННОЕ ОБУЧЕНИЕ СТРОЮ И ГИМНАСТИКЕ» В РОССИЙСКИХ ШКОЛАХ КАК ПРЕДМЕТ ОБСУЖДЕНИЯ НАКАНУНЕ ПЕРВОЙ МИРОВОЙ ВОЙНЫ

This article discusses some of the features of the formation of the student movement called «poteshnykh». Its creation was primarily conditioned by the needs of military-patriotic education aimed at solving the problems dictated by Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. The events that took place in the Far East demonstrated the current requirements for army manning and triggered the initiative of the Ministry of War, which was supported by Nicholas II. At the same time, the Russian government, faced with the revolutionary upheavals of 1905-1907, was wary of the creation of youth organizations without the necessary control. In the opinion of the governors, and later the Council of Ministers, such youth structures could be used for revolutionary purposes. During World War I the «poteshnykh» movement, aimed more at participation in parades than at the development of youth initiative in serious training for future military service, was gradually phased out.
