Value Paradigm Research Articles

Gender Roles of Women in Russian Parodies

The article talks about gender stereotypes in Russian proverbs and sayings. Gender stereotypes are a reflection of the traditional patriarchal code of linguistic culture, since the main value paradigms have been formed in society for centuries. Russian paroemias reflect gender relations, they still contain disappearing ideas about the role of women and men in society; they preserve the history of changed (or remaining) worldview stereotypes of gender behavior. Gender representations of men and women in paremiology show how stereotypes have been formed over the centuries. Gender roles of women in Russian parodies: the role of a woman in the family (wife, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, daughter, mother-granddaughter, aunt, sisterin-law, daughter-in-law, etc.); the role of a woman in accordance with social status (widow, unmarried maiden, matchmaker, etc.); the role of a woman in accordance with family and social ties (matchmaking, godmother, etc.) shows that women were in a dependent position. Their whole life was built in relation to the patriarchal model of family and marriage, which was completely dominated by men, which is explained by the historically established type of social relations.

Pushkin and Dostoevsky in Russian Rock Poetry

The article deals with Russian rock poetry, whose authors strive to overcome cultural and personal decay by turning to classical literature and absurdist aesthetics. The rock poet chooses either Pushkin or Dostoevsky as the central and at the same time supporting figures of Russian culture, and his self-determination – the self-determination of a genius of the 20th–21st centuries – occurs precisely at the intersection of myths about two, at first glance, polar cultural heroes («solar» Pushkin and «shadow» Dostoevsky). An appeal to the figures of Pushkin and Dostoevsky, as well as a cultural dialogue with their texts, occurs as follows: on the one hand, the genius seems to be brought down to the modern author’s level, and on the other, the themes and motifs covering the foundations of Russian spiritual culture are affirmed, re-actualized and adapted to new contexts. The purpose of the study is to prove through an intertextual approach that rock poetry can be viewed as a phenomenon of elite culture, since the value paradigm of the texts of rock poets is traditionally built through the juxtaposition of ideal and real plans. A rock performer himself is a «slave of honor» and a «poet» who is invariably placed in opposition to the reality around him. Absurdist aesthetics, techniques of comedy and deconstruction «renew» and at the same time complicate the long-familiar image.

The business and moral image of the party officials of the "second echelon" of the Bashkir ASSR in the era of "Khrushchev's reformism"

The article examines the business and moral qualities of the party managers of the "second echelon" of the period of the "Khrushchev reforms" in the context of one of the major national republics of the RSFSR – the Bashkir ASSR. The authors reconstruct the appearance of middle-level party officials who adhered to double standards in their party management activities. The phenomenon of the formation of a "new-moral" communist party subject with a pronounced focus on wealth is also concretized, which contradicted the official discourse of a highly moral socialist personality, who is not only a party worker, but, above all, a disinterested communist. The new trend observed among the party officials of the "Khrushchev set" – industrial and moral emancipation, which did not entail the irreversibility of severe punishment, was one of the manifestations of the complex institutional process of the era of "Khrushchev reformism". We are talking about a change in the value paradigm in the form of the refusal of party officials from rigid stoicism and orientation towards satisfying their personal interests. The research methodology is based on the principles of critical research understanding of the activities of the BASSR party apparatus in 1953-1964. The structural and functional method made it possible to reconstruct the managerial and business portrait of the BASSR party members of the Khrushchev era.

ОТРАЖЕНИЕ ОБРАЗОВ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОЙ КАРТИНЫ МИРА В ПОЭЗИИ ОЛЖАСА СУЛЕЙМЕНОВА

The article is devoted to the study of such topical issue as ethnic distinctness of works written by translingual authors in the context of the value paradigm of the national view of the world. The notion of “national view of the world” is characterized from the point of view of traditionalism and dynamism of its content. The article considers peculiarities of transculturalism and translingualism and pays special attention to the problem of bilingual and multilingual creative personality’s ethnic self-identification. The author also analyzes the notion “image of linguoculture” and studies the significance of Kazakh linguocultural images in the process of transferring the national content of life and its axiological meanings. The study is based on the material of the poetic discourse of Olzhas Suleymenov. As a result of contextual analysis of the poetic texts of the Kazakh poet, linguistic and cultural images reflecting fragments of the Kazakh national picture of the world were revealed. The article presents objectified images of the Kazakh linguistic culture in lyrical texts, which reflect national customs and traditions, images of the historical past of the Kazakh steppes, traditional images of Kazakh folklore and literature, proper names, objects of national life, cuisine, clothing, crafts of the Kazakhs. As the analysis showed, the translingual poetic creativity of the classic of modern Kazakh literature contributes to the formation of the paradigm of cultural values of the Kazakh national worldview

Human development in China: cultural and value aspect

Anthropologism as a universal characteristic of modern philosophical knowledge puts man at the center of multilateral socio-cultural transformations as their goal, driving force and primary condition. The modern anthropological crisis calls for the search for new value foundations for human potential development and actualizes the study of cultural regional and country specifics of its implementation practices. The successes of the People's Republic of China largely determine a new vision of the place and role of man in socio-cultural transformations. Human potential forms a dynamic, rapidly changing image of the socio-cultural environment in China, determining the speed and direction of internal and external modernization processes. The development of human potential in China is becoming a priority. It is associated with the main goal – to achieve the level of "average prosperity" (小康), and it logically fits into the cultural and value paradigm of the "Chinese dream" (中国梦). Acting as a key component of the "scientific concept of development" (科学观) in the form of a value setting "man is at the core" (以人为本), human potential is becoming one of the leading factors in the socio-cultural modernization of the People's Republic of China. A systematic approach in the research contributed to the analysis of the human potential development strategy of the People's Republic of China as an integral system of conceptual provisions and practices; an axiological approach helped to identify the value content of the strategy of the "power of human potential" of the People's Republic of China; the method of hermeneutic reconstruction contributed to the construction of a value model of a "comprehensive harmonious person" within the framework of the implementation of this strategy. The scientific novelty of this work consists in identifying the cultural and value components of the formation and development of human potential in China. The following results were developed by the author of the article : 1.The ideas of Chinese scientists about human development were made within the framework of cultural philosophy, social philosophy, economic theory, modernization and transnationalization theory. 2.The cultural and value component in the structure of human potential is revealed in the article , the characteristics of its individual elements are presented. 3.Based on the analysis of authentic sources, a hermeneutic reconstruction of the innovative axiological model of the "all-round harmonious person" in the context of building a "power of human potential" in the People's Republic of China was carried out. 4.The regional socio-cultural practices of the implementation of the concept of human development of the People's Republic of China, including comprehensive multi-level programs implemented at the national and supranational levels, are analyzed.

Эволюция образа предпринимателя в автобиографическом романе Дж. Белфорта «Волк с Уолл-стрит»

The aim of the study is to identify the specific features of the American entrepreneur’s image in J. Belfort’s novel “The Wolf of Wall Street” and their significant differences from the characteristic features of this image in the works of American literature of an earlier period. The paper examines the literary image of an entrepreneur created by J. Belfort based on an autobiographical narrative using his personal experience in stock market activities. The study investigates the change in the value paradigm in the personality and character of the entrepreneur in comparison with the main characteristics of this image created in the works of W. Bradford and B. Franklin. The scientific novelty of the study lies in discovering radical changes in the image of the 21st-century American entrepreneur in comparison with the ideal that was formed in American culture in the 17th and 18th centuries. As a result of the study, it was found that the image of an entrepreneur in J. Belfort’s novel has undergone significant changes compared to the works of early American literature. There is a significant contradiction between the moral and value attitudes created in the works of W. Bradford and B. Franklin and the modern image of the American entrepreneur depicted in the novel under consideration.

Виды ценностных конфликтов при смене парадигмы государственной политики и управления

The purpose of the article is to study the types of value conflicts during the period of political transformation of the modern Russian state. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 809 dated 11/19/2022 "On Approval of the Foundations of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian spiritual and Moral Values" defines a priority direction for the development of public administration, which should be based on traditional values. At the same time, the transition from the existing situation to the new one will inevitably lead to a clash of liberal and neoliberal ideas with national values and traditional ideas. The author consistently studies the processes of changing the value paradigm in political and managerial decisions of the previous and modern era, namely the period from the collapse of the USSR in 1991 to the present. There is a tendency to repeat the value conflict of the early 90s in the Russian Federation, when socialist values in public administration were replaced by liberal values, and part of society was not ready for such a development. The hypothesis of this study is to search for the possibility of avoiding a value conflict similar to the conflicts of previous historical eras when carrying out evolutionary changes in public policy and management in the Russian Federation in the near future. Institutional and neo-institutional approaches are used, which are associated with value-rational and goal-oriented approaches in public administration. The SWOT analysis methodology is used to determine systemic changes in public administration. The theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in expanding knowledge about the role of values in the field of public policy and management and in solving the applied task of introducing traditional national values into political and managerial decisions, outlined in the decree of the President of the Russian Federation. The conclusions are the value aspect is a basis and root cause of the political process. The results include the characteristic of the Russian society from the value relation view and the description of the core trend of the public administration development in modern Russia.

The system of images in A. Varlamov's novel "The Mental Wolf"

This article is devoted to the study of the images of the main characters of the novel, representing the author's complex view of the pre-Soviet period of Russian history, the First World War and the Revolution. Each character is characterized by his own system of ideological coordinates that form the picture of the world in the novel, expressing the national and cultural consciousness of the era. The character's deep characterization is based on a value paradigm, the constituent elements of which are attitude to nature, religion, homeland, and war. It is considered how these value characteristics are reflected in the life position of each character represented in the novel.The purpose of the article is to consider the system of images in A. Varlamov's novel "The Mental Wolf". The need to consider this problem is determined by the general literary position that the author's idea of life is expressed through a system of characters. The author uses the following research methods: comparative, hermeneutical and comparative typological. With the help of a systematic approach, an analytical study of images is provided. The analysis of the image system in the novel allowed us to correlate the images with the compositional structure of the work, to consider their position in the chronotope, to determine the characterological conflict in the novel. As the analysis made it possible to determine, the characters of Varlamov's novel form a system. Its main feature is the complex connections between the characters. The system of images in the novel is based on the idea of their attraction – repulsion. Relevance is seen in addressing one of the key problems of literary criticism based on the work of a modern author. It is established that complex connections of attraction, repulsion and pair interaction are established between the characters of the novel, which ultimately allows us to talk about a complex ideological concept of the novel depicting a person and his spiritual world in an era of changing social, cultural and political paradigms.

Titles of Russian memoirs of the XVIII - early XIX century as a meta-textual element of the narrative

The subject of the research presented in the article is the metatextual function of the titles of Russian memoirs of the XVIII – early XIX centuries. The object of the study is all known and published texts of Russian memoirs of the specified historical period. The author analyzes in detail in this aspect the memoirs of V. V. Golovin, I. O. Ostrozhsky-Lokhvitsky, I. G. Andreev, Y. P. Shakhovsky, I. I. Neplyuev, I. V. Lopukhin, M. V. Danilov, T. P. Kalashnikov, G. I. Dobrynin, P. S. Baturin, etc. authors. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the memoir title as a result of the author's reflection and the author's mark addressed to the reader, reflecting the tendency to individualize the narrative about oneself and the desire of the memoirist authors for a holistic understanding and literary formalization of the text of memoirs. The research methodology is based on the principles of comparative studies and comparative historical analysis. The corpus of the memoirs under study is placed in the general cultural context of the epoch, which allows us to talk about the principles of formation and development of Russian memoiristics in the XVIII century. The memoir titles reflect which aesthetic and value paradigm the memoirist was oriented towards when writing about his past. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the memoir title is considered as the main element of the meta–text ensemble "title – preface – epigraph - afterword". The genre nomination necessarily present in the memoir title (notes, chronicle, novel, life, life) is understood as a sign of the memoirist's cultural and literary self-identification aimed at a potential reader. The article identifies the following trends: orientation towards the ancient Russian cultural and genre tradition, the influence of the educational and classicist paradigm and attitudes dictated by the influence of sentimentalism and the genre of the novel. A systematic analysis of more than fifty works of Russian memoiristics allows us to conclude that the defining role of the genre nomination in the composition of the memoir title is for the author to choose a narrative model, an angle of the image of events and characters, leitmotifs and principles of plot organization. Compilation and analysis of the repertoire of titles of memoir works of the XVIII – early XIX centuries allow us to conclude about the principles of formation and development of Russian memoiristics as a whole.

Chinese Culture in Chinese Tourists’ Behaviors Research (2000-2022): A Literature Review

ABSTRACT This study systematically reviews 74 publications spanning the years 2000 to 2022, investigating the impact of Chinese cultural values on the behavior of Chinese tourists. Employing bibliometric and content analyses, the study reveals a fragmented research landscape concerning the connection between Chinese cultural values and tourist behaviors. The current body of research primarily focuses on Chinese tourists’ motivation, loyalty, and satisfaction, but does not extensively address their engagement in social media. Traditional Chinese cultural values, especially Confucian values, are identified as playing a crucial role in shaping these behaviors, while modern Chinese cultural values are still underestimated. Subsequently, this review rethinks the exploration of the relationship between Chinese cultural values and the behaviors of Chinese tourists, the paradigm of Chinese cultural values, the adequacy of measurement scales, and the research direction of Chinese tourists. By doing so, the study aims to enhance our understanding of the intricate relationship between Chinese cultural values and the behaviors of Chinese tourists.

Disruptive technology identification research based on one-class SVM: a case study in the field of gene editing

The identification of disruptive technologies is paramount for the expansion into novel markets and the creation of innovative value paradigms. Despite the importance of this task, current methodologies for identifying such technologies are predominantly qualitative, which are often hindered by a dearth of empirical data and a predisposition towards subjectivity. This paper proposes a paradigm shift by employing patent text data and utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for data preprocessing to extract and analyze technical themes from patent abstracts. The research innovatively posits the problem of identifying disruptive technologies as an anomaly detection issue and addresses it through the application of a one-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. In the empirical component of the study, the field of gene editing is selected as a case study to validate the proposed method’s efficacy and practicality. The validation is conducted through a multifaceted analytical framework, which includes: an examination of the distribution and proportion of patent topics, a comprehensive market analysis, and a comparative analysis of the proposed model against existing methodologies. The results of this study not only substantiate the potential of the proposed approach in accurately detecting technologies with disruptive potential but also highlight its robustness across various analytical dimensions.

The Experience Economy in the Prism of Cultural and Value Paradigms

The article considers the experience economy (the economy of impressions) in the prism of its dependence and interdependence on the cultural and value paradigms of modern society. The relevance of the research is determined by the novelty of the analysis of the concept in relation to modern social axiology. The purpose of the article is to analyze the structure-forming elements of the experience economy in its correlation with cultural and value paradigms. The scope of the research includes the formulation of the principles of the experience economy as an important element of the service sector based on a customized approach to the client, consideration of its conceptual characteristics, as well as the analysis of the value-ethical component of this objective socioeconomic phenomenon inherent to post-industrial society. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the author's interpretation of this relatively modern marketing approach. The essence of the experience economy, its functions and basic principles are analyzed. The reasons for its increasing importance as a socio-humanitarian component contributing to sustainable development are discussed since that is especially relevant in the current conditions when the ontological, axiological and ethical aspects of the society are being reinterpreted. The importance of considering the values of different customer generations to form impressions and experiences is emphasized. The working principles of the experience economy are considered. In the course of the research, general scientific methods were used: in particular, integrative and systemic approaches, to allow the identification of the essential content of the marketing element; structural and functional approach, allowing for the exploration of the structure and functions of the experience economy; socio-cultural approach, in order to examine the characteristics of the phenomenon and its impact on the system of interaction between the brand and the consumer; as well as axiological approach, which allow for the identification of value orientations and attitudes in their correlations with social axiology. The prospects of the experience economy as a factor contributing to sustainable development from the point of view of its impact on the consumer behavior and society are analyzed. The research indicates the emergence of a new paradigm of sociocultural experience based on co-creation and acquisition of a unique collective experience. The increasing importance of growing social capital by doing work for public causes is emphasized. Specificities of the economy of impressions are described and its core concepts systematized. The author concludes that the economy of impressions is a response to the value orientations of millennials to modern challenges which determines their consumer behavior.

Consolidation of the Russian society under contemporary challenges: Social-historical and value contexts

Civil identity is one of the key resources for uniting Russian society. It is based on the historical self-awareness, common historical memory, joint commemoration of significant historical events and achievements of the state and society. Civil identity of the Russian nation is concentrated around the Soviet legacy: Russian reality is filled with Soviet reminiscences and markers of historical memory, many of which act as ‘links’ for the differentiated social space. However, the Soviet period is becoming increasingly distant, full of myths and simplified interpretations. Therefore, the increased attention to the interpretation of ambiguous events of the Soviet history may cause a critical revision of the Soviet value paradigm in relation to the historical heritage and the policy of memory and become a catalyst for centrifugal sentiments, creating threats to the state security and integrity. The efficiency of state institutions and prospects of civil society structures depend on the dominant identity markers in the mass consciousness and on the most important reference groups for self-identification. Thus, the study of the historical consciousness and memory of Russians as the basic principles of national consensus and the analysis of the features of the post-crisis historical worldview of different groups in the Russian society are of particular relevance. Based on the monitoring research data from the IS FCTAS RAS surveys (conducted in 2020-2023 on the representative all-Russian regionalized quota sample; N = 2000) and an integrated approach, the authors assess the historical and value consciousness of Russians under contemporary challenges: interest in history and historical facts, perception of historical periods and leading historical figures; attitude to national history, formation of the all-Russian identity and the role of family memory in this process; a ‘new vision’ of Russia and its future, a trend to rethink the idea of change and the path of national development, understood in the mass consciousness through the original model of the world order and civilizational sovereignty; ideas about key social groups that contribute to or hinder national development, and about the tasks to be solved on the path to creating future Russia. The main conclusions of the research are presented in the article in the form of postulates.

THE ROLE OF MEDIA CULTURE IN PROMOTING SOCIAL VALUES IN MEDIA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE “VALUE PARADIGM”

This research aims to explore and understand the vital role played by media culture in promoting and transmitting social values from the perspective of the "Value Paradigm." Therefore, it is essential to empower and equip media culture with the goal of shaping individuals and instilling in them critical thinking, social values, correct attitudes, and skills from media sources. The "Value Perspective" imparts an ethical view of media culture, attempting to recognize the exclusion of the "values" variable from its components, derived from the cultural and civilizational context of this vision from the outset. Excluding this variable from the analysis and interpretation process has led many media studies in the Islamic environment to produce distorted copies of Western studies. This "paradigm" does not oppose foreign theories but enriches them with variables that express cultural and civilizational differences and distinctions in social, economic, political, and cultural experiences

NORMATIVE ISLAMIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS OF FAMILIES AND KINSHIP THROUGH MAQASID PERSPECTIVES: A COMPREHENSIVE LITERATURE STUDY

The current article represents a comprehensive understanding of the family system and kinship in normative Muslim scholarship. It introduces the perception and definition of family and kinship relations and presents some of its fundamental features and bases in order to restructure critical, yet scattered opinions of scholars from various religious, legal, and historical Islamic sources. This research also aims to investigate numerous normatively formed perspectives related to family forms, the paradigm of values for family and kinship, and the family systems inspired by normative sources of Islam which have been discussed in broader discourse echelons to show the development of Muslim scholarship, provisions, opinions, and analysis, with regard to family and kin, especially under the umbrella of maqāṣid al-shari’ah. The article follows a qualitative methodology with historical, analytical, and descriptive approaches in a comparative manner when investigating normative accounts of the Muslim family and kinship. This study's contribution to international scholars in the field lies in its comprehensive analysis of maqasid framework for family and kinship in Islam and its divergence among normative scholarship. By shedding light on these normative perspectives, it enriches the existing scholarly discourse on maqasid al-shari’ah and opens up new avenues for further research and exploration in contemporary approaches to family and kinship studies. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for researchers, academics, and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of maqasid al-shari’ah and its practical applications in contemporary contexts. The article found out that the advent of Islam, as mentioned in normative Muslim scholarship, introduced several religious rudiments into the family and kinship life that morally, structurally, and socially altered and regulated the character, structure, and purposes of the Muslim family to ensure stability and advocate social relations and order.

Urban identity in the value paradigm modern Russian society

The article is devoted to urban identity as a socio-cultural, psychological and emotional construct determined by a number of factors. As a significant component of social identity, urban identity is determined by how strong an individual's social ties are, whether he is included in long-term stable social groups, which, in turn, forms an emotional assessment of such identity in relation to «his» and «strangers», as well as group values, social norms, stereotypes, behavioral patterns. The author of the article presents the characteristics of urban identity as a result of self-determination of personality, its socialization and adaptation in a particular urban space, in the process of assimilation and reproduction of cultural symbols, accepted norms, traditions, lifestyle of city residents. The relevance of the study of urban identity is determined by the peculiarities of the urban environment and urban lifestyle: the author of the article puts forward a tendency to increase the mobility of the population and a decrease in the role of physical space in the life of a modern person as factors that can create barriers to the formation of a conscious urban identity. The article proves that the self-consciousness and personal identity of city residents are largely determined by various aspects of the cultural space of the city. The impossibility of perceiving urban space in its integrity does not hinder personal identity and self-determination, and the possibility of implementing the social practices of its residents forms their emotional attachment to the city. The formation of urban identity is conditioned by stable, changeable and symbolic factors. The author of the article also identifies parameters that allow assessing the degree of urban identity, among which the uniqueness of the city, identity and positivity of its perception play a decisive role in modern Russian society, which, in turn, determines in many ways the practical potential of urban identity. The conclusion is made about the importance of urban identity among other values of Russians, because active emotional experience and active embodiment of the urban identity of individuals and social groups contributes to the comprehensive economic, social and political development of modern Russian society.

Патриотизм как фактор сохранения национальной идентичности

Modern Russian society is experiencing a severe spiritual and moral crisis, during which value attitudes are being destroyed through the denial of traditional Russian values and the introduction of new value paradigms. Spiritual and moral crisis is a result of the crisis state of today’s Russian society, which is caused by many rea-sons: it is the instability of the economic component, and the constantly emerging political cataclysms in the world arena, and large-scale environmental problems, as well as the gaining momentum in the process of de-struction of social ties, and, as a consequence, the apparent destruction of moral foundations. The problem of preserving national identity is outlined at all levels, but its solution is possible only through the formation and strengthening of patriotism as the foundation of Russia’s future. That is precisely why the formation of patriot-ism becomes a priority of the Russian Federation’s state policy and is seen as a factor in preserving national identity.

Precedence in Modern Spanish Journalism

The relevance of this article is due to the need to track the dynamics of the nature of the use of precedent units as an indicator of the level of linguistic competence in modern Spanish journalism. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors influencing the use of precedent units and trends in the dynamics of their content in modern Spanish journalism. The object of the study is precedent units, and the subject is their linguistic implementation in the modern Spanish press. The objectives of the study include the analysis of the representation of precedent units in modern media texts based on the study of stylistic characteristics, the definition of their content and the nature of their functioning in journalism. Any, even very minimal, shift in the value paradigm leads to a change in the content of the precedent unit, connections with its original content are lost and a complete deactualization of meaning may even occur. In the course of the study, methods of observation, definitional, quantitative, contextual, component and discourse analysis were used. The study was carried out based on Diccionario de dichos y frases hechas / "Dictionary of sayings and stable expressions" by Alberto Buitrago, the Corpus of the Spanish language of the XXI century (CORPES XXI) was used to track the frequency of use of precedent units. The article defines the tendency to change the content of precedent units in Spanish journalism. When updating the cultural content presented in the set of precedent units of Spanish linguoculture, the authors mainly use them as elements of headings that attract the reader's attention, while in the text of the article they often explain the meaning of this unit, which indicates the possible deactualization of this expression in the future.

Democratic Values in Times of War: the Case of Ukraine

The article examines the peculiarities of value transformations and implementation of democratic values in the context of war. In particular, the focus is on the process of value transformation of Ukrainian society during the 2022 Russian-Ukrainian war. The article examines key aspects of this process, including the impact of the war on the level of national self-identification and patriotism. Special attention is paid to the impact of military conflicts on public attitudes towards the protection of human rights, freedom, the rule of law and other basic democratic values.
 The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of sociological surveys, analytical reports, expert interviews and other sources that reflect the change in the value paradigm of Ukrainian society and to identify the peculiarities of the introduction of democratic value orientations during the period of hostilities. Particular attention is paid to a comparative analysis of the situation before and after the outbreak of hostilities.
 In general, the article argues that the transformation of value orientations in Ukrainian society during the war was dynamic and very abrupt, caused by the shock effect. The author notes that this transition gravitates towards the value paradigm of the democratic model. However, in order to strengthen and scale this effect, a comprehensive and systematic work of all actors of value socialisation is needed, including Ukrainian politicians, media, civil society and educational institutions.
 This article is important for understanding the impact of the war on the democratisation of Ukrainian society and provides practical recommendations for promoting the implementation of democratic values in the context of the conflict.

From New Public Management to public value: Irish education policy through the lens of Statements of Strategy

ABSTRACT Through the lens of successive Department of Education and Science (DES) Statements of Strategy (1997–2021) the author considers the evolution of Irish education policy making from the perspectives of New Public Management (NPM) and the public value paradigm. In the context of changing international and national environments, the Strategic Management Initiative (SMI), introduced in 1994, was rooted in NPM principles and characterised by performance indicators, measurable outcomes/outputs, and value for money. However, more recent strategy statements have been predicated on vision, a whole-of-system approach, and values that include learning as a public good, and wellbeing. This evolution occurred in an environment where social partnership has been a constant feature. Following consideration of the main contours of ten SSs, and discussion of the relevant antecedents and the move towards public value, some unresolved issues are briefly identified in the concluding remarks.
