The study identifies the role of sports projects in the adaptation and integration of immigrants. The SWOT-analysis method identified key risks (segregation, extremist recruitment) and established the potential of sport as a tool for conflict prevention. An analysis of international cases proves that inclusive programs combining sport with intercultural training reduce crime. The results form a model for state programs that transform sport from leisure into a resource of social stability.

The article presents the findings of a historical and legal analysis of international and national legal norms, scholarly works and publicistic materials addressing the formation of the Pridnestrovian people as a distinct community in legal and humanitarian contexts. Through a secondary analysis of existing research and international legal instruments, the study confirms the completion of the process of forming the Pridnestrovian people. The author concludes that in Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, a people has emerged as a multi-ethnic, distinctive union of individuals united by a shared history and destiny, endowed with a unique identity of their own.

The article analyzes the personnel potential of participants in a special military operation (SVO), identifies their key competencies and identifies possible directions for their integration into the public administration system. The growing demands on the public administration system in the context of dynamic external and internal challenges actualizes the search for highly qualified personnel capable of acting effectively in conditions of uncertainty. In this context, ITS participants represent a special category of specialists with experience that could potentially be in demand in the public sphere. This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation and use of the personnel poten­ tial of ITS participants in solving managerial tasks in the public sector.

The article examines the dynamics of interaction between the Russian state and the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East in the 1990s–2000s through the prism of the Adizioglu -Robinson theory. According to this theory, the creation of the State Committee for the North can be interpreted as an attempt by the state to legitimize control over the territories of indigenous peoples through the rhetoric of protecting their rights. Particular attention is paid to the role of the State Committee for the North in the development of federal programs for socio-economic development. The article shows that programs aimed at integrating indigenous peoples into the market economy ignored their cultural specifics, which led to the marginalization of traditional ways of life. This confirms Adizioglu’s thesis that state modernization projects often reinforce social inequality, disguising it as progress. The study of the interaction of the State Committee for the North with other government bodies reveals the mechanisms of bureaucratic socialization (Robinson), where partnership with indigenous peoples became an instrument of symbolic inclusion rather than real dialogue. Legislative initiatives, analyzed through postcolonial optics, are interpreted as the formalization of state domination, where the rights of indigenous peoples were limited to a framework convenient for the resource exploitation of their territories.

Economic growth is one of the main indicators for assessing a country’s economic situation, the effectiveness of government policy, institutional structure, and resource efficiency. It is the basis for increasing the standard of living of the population, developing infrastructure and human capital. Today, developing countries in the global economy are becoming equal players with the former metropolitan areas. That is why today a new theory of economic growth is required, which will allow developing countries to achieve economic prosperity and victory over poverty and social injustice.

The scientific study presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of the operation of the locomotive complex of the railway station of the Trans-Siberian railway. This station is a technical junction point for different current systems. The technology of operation is considered, taking into account the increase in the size of freight transportation by 30%, which is provided for in the Transport Strategy for the development of the railway industry until 2030. An analysis of the existing traffic sizes was performed and a simulation of the operation of the locomotive complex of the station in the new operating conditions was performed. To identify the “bottlenecks”, a simulation of the operation of a DC and AC locomotive complex was carried out, which is based on the technological time of arrival of train locomotives on production lines. A set of measures has been proposed for the reconstruction of the locomotive complex for the development of promising freight flows in the eastern direction of train traffic. The economic efficiency of the infrastructure modernization project has been calculated using the dynamic cash flow modeling method.

The article examines the features of the monetary system of the Russian state at the beginning of the XVI century. Based on the description given by the Austrian diplomat Sigismund Herberstein in his work «Notes on Muscovy». Special attention is paid to the types of silver coins, as well as the value ratio between them. The paper analyzes the external differences between the coins of the Moscow, Novgorod, Tver and Pskov coinage, as well as their differences in weight and value. The issue of using foreign gold coins is being considered separately. The research conducted in the article is based on a comparison of the text of the «Notes on Muscovy» with historical and numismatic sources and allows us to trace the main characteristics and problems of the pre- reform monetary system of the Russian state.

The article examines the activities of the Orekhovo-Zuyevo Teachers’ Institute (now – the State University of Humanities and Technology) during the Great Patriotic War. Drawing on documents from the funds of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR and the All-Union Committee for Higher Education (ACHE) under the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR (State Archive of the Russian Federation, SARF), the study analyzes the institution’s functioning under the extreme conditions of wartime. The relevance of the research lies in the need to explore adaptive mechanisms of the pedagogical system in crisis situations and to preserve the historical memory of educational institutions’ role in mobilizing resources for national defense. The work addresses a regional gap in the history of education by revealing understudied aspects of provincial universities’ operations during 1941–1945. The article emphasizes the importance of further investigation into the contribution of teachers’ institutes to preserving the nation’s cultural and educational potential, a key factor in shaping national identity.

The article analyzes the key factors and conditions that influenced the formation of Russia’s political course in the socio-cultural space of the newly independent states in the period after the collapse of the USSR. The objective prerequisites that contributed to the preservation of sociocultural community, as well as factors that hindered this process, such as economic differentiation, nationalist ideologies and external influence, are considered. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the role of language, religion and the intelligentsia in the formation of socio-cultural processes in the post-Soviet space.
