Abstract: The subject of the study is the influence of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the formation and development of the political ecosystem of society. The article analyzes and compares two key approaches – network and ecosystem, revealing different aspects of the digital transformation of political processes. Particular attention is paid to the need to integrate these approaches for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of the political ecosystem in the context of digitalization. The author proposes a theoretical model combining network and ecosystem concepts, which allows taking into account both the dynamics of horizontal interactions and the stability of the system. The research covers issues of civic identity, decentralization of power, and self-organization, demonstrating how digital platforms and patriotic content contribute to strengthening social cohesion and transforming the political environment. The work offers the author's definition of the political ecosystem of society, reflecting the complexity and multidimensionality of social processes in the era of digitalization. The research methodology is based on a comparative analysis of network and ecosystem approaches in order to integrate them to create a comprehensive model of the political ecosystem. The analysis of theoretical concepts presented in the works of leading researchers is used, as well as conceptual modeling aimed at forming the author's model of the political ecosystem of society. The novelty of the research lies in the development and substantiation of an integrated model of the political ecosystem, which combines the principles of network and ecosystem approaches. The main conclusions of the study are the provisions that information and communication technologies (ICT) play a key role in the formation of horizontal political structures, ensuring the decentralization of power and self-organization of civil society. A special contribution of the author to the research of the topic is the formulation of the author's definition of a political ecosystem as a dynamic system where information flows and inter-network interactions occupy a central place. An important result of the research is the identification of factors that ensure the stability and adaptability of the political system in the context of digitalization. The practical significance of the work is shown in the possibility of using the developed model to analyze modern political processes, predict their development and form strategies for digital interaction between government institutions and society.

Abstract: The article provides a comparative analysis of the election program of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia in the elections to the State Duma of the VIII convocation in 2021 and the election program of the candidate for President of the Russian Federation L.E.Slutsky in the elections of 2024. The methodological basis of the study is comparative analysis and quantitative content analysis. The analysis was carried out according to the following provisions of the program: public administration reform; actions to modernize the economy; steps to improve social policy; policy in the field of regulatory legal acts; a set of measures in the field of international relations. In addition, the article provides a content analysis of the terms most used in both programs. Russian Russian Federation's content analysis has shown that both the election program of LeonidE.Slutsky and the LDPR program have devoted significant attention to such issues as upholding the interests of the Russian people and other peoples of Russia; protecting the interests of the Russian world; the peaceful return of the territories of the former USSR to Russia; the centralization of the country, the enlargement of regions, and the transition from a federal model. transition of the state structure to a unitary one. Based on recent election campaigns, it is concluded that the party's popularity has been declining for several years, which calls into question the political prospects of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the biopolitical toolkit used by modern Russian elites in the context of building the macropolitical identity of Russians. This process is characterized by a complex nature. The identity policy implemented in the post-Soviet period takes into account the need to strengthen intercultural and interethnic unity in society. In this regard, the construction of a special macropolitical identity takes place not only in the space of memory politics and in the broad sense of symbolic politics, but also in the space of biopolitics. Biopolitics has made it possible to unify the principles of management based on the physiological and social manifestations inherent in humans. Of particular research interest is the problem of using biopolitical methods in the context of building a macropolitical identity, a special form of self–identification that overcomes religious, cultural and ethnic differences in society. In Russia, this process is particularly relevant, since in a multicultural and multiethnic state, the process of building socially shared forms of identity sets the foundation of society. We propose to consider examples of the use of biopolitics in the framework of building this identity. The research methodology includes an analysis of the dynamics of Russian legislation and biopolitical tools, which is revealed by the example of individual cases and political technologies used by political elites in the course of building the macropolitical identity of Russians. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the consideration of the principles and tools of biopolitics through the prism of the macropolitical identity of Russians. It is based on identification with the broader community, which presupposes solidarity across borders related to political and ideological preferences. We examine in detail how modern biopolitics, performed by Russian elites, allows us to overcome these preferences and use the biological essence of a person in solving problems related to the political solidarity of society. Separately, an analysis of legislative norms and practical cases was carried out, which demonstrated the variety of biopolitical tools used in modern Russia. As a result of the research, we come to the conclusion that biopolitics can be effectively used as a measure to counter nationalist tendencies in society. The conclusion is also formulated about the need to introduce bioethics, i.e. the moral dimension of those political and technological processes that are implemented in the political space of modern Russia.

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of the role of the dominant party in the transformation of the political space. The purpose of the article is to consider the trends in understanding the essence of the dominant party, the most important tools it uses to transform the political sphere, and to identify the features of the political process in the post-Soviet space. The author considers a dominant party to be one that has held leading positions in the party system for a significant period of time while maintaining signs of political competition. The emergence of dominant parties is associated with the desire of the political elite to strengthen its position in the legislative branch and is most often observed in countries experiencing "catch-up modernization". The article focuses on the analysis of the mechanisms by which the ruling party shapes the political agenda, institutions, and practices that determine the nature of political competition and citizen participation. The study is based on theoretical approaches to the analysis of party systems and empirical data on the functioning of the dominant party in a specific political context. The essence of the dominant party and the mechanisms of its impact on the political sphere are studied. The author defines the criteria characteristic of dominant parties in the post-Soviet countries, identifies their main features and substantiates the advantages of a party system with a single-party majority. Using the examples of Mexico, Japan and India, the author analyzes the features of party dominance in various political regimes. Despite the differences in context, the author identifies common characteristics inherent in dominant parties. Particular attention is paid to the fundamental difference between the concepts of "party in power" and "dominant party".

Abstract: The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the President of Russia has become the embodiment of the state for both the population and the world community, serving as the most influential political player in the structure of state power. The goal of the article is to trace the personalization of presidential power in the political sphere in Russia based on the analysis of the transcripts of State Duma meetings. The object of the study is presidential power. The subject of the research is the personalization of presidential power in the political sphere in Russia. The author conducted an analysis of the transcripts of State Duma meetings because, firstly, the State Duma expresses the interests of Russian society through the adoption of relevant legislative acts. Secondly, being an independent body in its decisions, it develops the political "innovations" necessary for a democratic and legal state. The analysis of 215 State Duma transcripts is conducted based on the following phases: understanding the problem and including it in the agenda, preparing draft resolutions, and adopting the bill. The article presents the results of the study of the transcripts of State Duma meetings from 2017, 2020, and 2023, revealing active support and implementation of the legislative power, primarily for the ideas and views of the president. The materials of the article provide practical value for increasing knowledge and addressing contradictions in the field of public administration in Russia. The uniqueness of the research results lies in the conclusions made by the author, indicating the dependent work of the State Duma and the lack of independence in the development and adoption of decisions. The author comes to the following conclusions: - Members of the State Duma do not initiate significant laws for the state and society; they most often originate from the president or the government of the Russian Federation (in fulfillment of the same president's assignments); - Members of the lower house of parliament do not engage in seeking independent effective solutions to various problems; - There is a lack of adequate political debate during the promotion and adoption of legislative proposals; - Political innovations cannot always be effectively implemented in practice.

Abstract: The subject of this research article is the salary system for police officers in the Russian Federation, its impact on their special legal status and overall payment system, as well as an analysis of the reasons for staff turnover, identifying uncompetitive salary levels as one of the key factors. Special attention is paid to the development and justification of a new model of the payment system aimed at stimulating productivity and compensating for overtime, while considering budget constraints and the principles of voluntariness, fairness, transparency, and economic efficiency. The article details the structure of the proposed model, which includes the preservation of the basic elements of monetary compensation and the introduction of additional payments, and justifies the need for the automation of processes related to overtime accounting and performance evaluation. The work employs general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, a systemic approach, as well as special legal methods, economic-mathematical modeling, and analysis of statistical data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The novelty of the research lies in the development and scientific justification of a conceptually new model of the salary system for police officers, offering a comprehensive approach to addressing the issue of understaffing without a significant increase in budget allocations. A significant contribution of the author to the research on this topic is the proposed mechanism for reallocating existing budget funds by optimizing salaries and using savings from vacant positions to stimulate productivity and compensate for overtime. The main conclusions of the conducted research include the justification of the advantages of the proposed model, which encompasses increased competitiveness of salaries, decreased staff turnover, enhanced motivation of employees, and increased fairness of the labor evaluation system. Potential risks of implementation have also been identified, with suggested ways to minimize them, emphasizing the need for phased implementation and ongoing monitoring of the system. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using the proposed model to improve the payment system in law enforcement agencies and to address the issue of understaffing.

Abstract: Migration is creating significant changes in the social roles of men and women in modern Vietnam. The migration process not only reflects economic development but also shows profound changes in family structure, gender relations and economic responsibilities. This article focuses on analyzing the impact of migration on the changes in the social roles of men and women, based on survey data and in-depth interviews in Vinh Trach Dong commune, Bac Lieu province. The main methods used in this research include a questionnaire survey (N=811) of households with young people migrating from rural to urban areas and in-depth interviews (N=20) of people in these communities to clarify the analysis from observation or available data collection. The combination of quantitative and qualitative methods helps to clarify the changes in labor roles, family responsibilities and social perceptions of gender. The study results show that migrant women are taking on the role of the main labor force, while men who stay behind gradually adapt to family care work. However, this change also increases pressure on both genders, thereby posing an urgent need for policies to support and protect migrant workers. In addition, the study also proposes solutions to enhance gender equality, improve working conditions and provide psychosocial support for both men and women in the context of increasing migration in Vietnam. In particular, the article emphasizes that the migration process is not only an economic phenomenon but also a major driving force to change traditional notions of gender. Women's role as the main economic force helps them gain a higher position in the family and society. In contrast, men gradually accept housework and childcare, breaking the rigid gender division of labor model. These changes require flexible adaptation from stakeholders and long-term policies are needed to support this transition in a sustainable manner.
