Abstract: The article analyzes the impact of the absence of a single ideological and value construct of the image of the state in the minds of young people on the state of national security of the country. In the course of the research, an attempt is made to describe the current ideological constructs of the state that exist in the minds of young people. The authors study the consequences of the intervention of actors interested in destabilizing the socio-political system in the process of constructing the image of the state in the perception of young people. The analysis is conducted through the analysis of cases involving Russian youth in the current political agenda. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was a secondary analysis of the results of research on the value bases of political activity of young people, in which ideological ideas and attitudes are considered in the structure of moral and political consciousness. The organization of the socio-political system of the country takes place in a single information space, where the prism of moral and ethical values is constructed. Young people, as an age group characterized by not well-established life imperatives and a high level of content consumption, are ready to look at what is happening in the state through the prism offered to them in the information space. The problem of creating content is compounded by the lack of a single ideological and value construct that can justify to young people the need for actions taken by state institutions. The concepts of ideas about the state that exist among the younger generation are fragmentary and antagonistic, as they were spontaneously formed on the remnants of the Soviet ideological heritage and integrated Western narratives. In this article, the authors attempt to formulate current threats to national security based on a secondary analysis of studies of the value perceptions of young people and the motives for their participation in protest actions, which are based on the ideological disorganization of the younger generation of Russians.

Abstract: The Arctic, as an object of modern attention, is a center of attraction not only for Arctic and near-Arctic countries, but also for countries that are located at a fairly remote distance from the Northern Hemisphere. The high interest in the development of the Arctic is caused by geopolitical, economic and other factors. In these conditions, the Arctic becomes a zone of intersection of interests of many countries. The activation and expansion of the economic activity of previously existing and new players in the Arctic can pose both real and potential threats, as well as potential, a new round on the way to improving the level of national security of the Russian Federation in the Arctic region. In this regard, the analysis of foreign Arctic strategies and the study of foreign experience in the development of the Arctic is relevant. The purpose of the work is to analyze the Arctic strategies of the United States, Canada, China, and India for compliance of their national interests with the regional (Arctic) and search for opportunities to use their best practices to ensure sustainable development in Russia. The subject of the study is the mechanisms of management of the development of Arctic and near-Arctic territories. The methodological basis of this study is a systematic, comparative analysis, methods of synthesis, induction and deduction. It is revealed that the models of the policy of supporting the sustainable development of the Arctic of the countries of the North American continent demonstrate ambiguous effectiveness of their implementation. It is shown that the great prospects for supporting the sustainable development of the Arctic contain the emerging and developing models of the state Arctic policy of China and India.

Abstract: The article deals with the financial and banking cooperation between Russia and the SCO member states, which is characterized by the availability of a low level and the simultaneous expansion potential, particularly under the contemporary unprecedented sanctions pressure. The author dwells upon the activities of the SCO, including the Interbank Association, comes to the conclusion that practically most of the goals and objectives of financial and economic cooperation within the SCO are mainly declarative without practical implementation. The study is based on such general scientific cognitive methods as induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, comparison and graphical interpretation of statistical information and time series. The novelty of the article lies in developing the proposals and priority cooperation areas within the SCO and the SCO Interbank Association, as well as the SWOT analysis of the SCO Development Bank, aimed at improving the efficiency of financial and banking cooperation between Russia and the SCO member countries.

Abstract: The development of various areas of domestic tourism in Russia has become a natural consequence of the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, in the context of maintaining and increasing the relevance of environmental restrictions on economic development, the growth of ecological (or sustainable) tourism, associated with the provision of tourism services and the development of the recreational sector, and at the same time helping to reduce the severity of the environmental problem, is of particular importance. Ecotourism, being a promising economic direction, contributes to the achievement of sustainable development. Of considerable scientific interest is the study of the prospects for the development of ecological tourism at the regional level. The subject of research in the article is the possibility of developing ecological tourism in the Republic of Mordovia. The article concluded that the functioning of the tourism industry, contributing to economic growth, has a serious negative impact on the environment. As a consequence, tourism policies need to be integrated with overall economic, environmental and energy policies in order to stimulate the transition to sustainable tourism development and minimize environmental pollution. Politicians are also guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, the achievement of which requires the use of tourism to eliminate poverty, hunger, ensure food security and improve the environment by reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources. The ecological sphere of the Republic of Mordovia has a serious potential for the development of the tourism sector: the presence of specially protected natural areas, clean air and water bodies can attract a large number of tourists, but significant investment resources are needed in this area.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the advantages and potential disadvantages of the launch of the digital ruble in modern Russia. Russia, like other countries, is currently trying to develop dynamically in the digital sphere. The launch of a digital national currency in such a large-scale economy as the Russian one will indicate an advanced level of digitalization of the country and its competitiveness in the international arena. The research characterized the main properties of the Russian national digital currency based on the Russian Central Bank data, and, furthermore, showed the potential positive and negative consequences of the digital ruble introduction. The conducted research proves that the established deadlines for testing the digital ruble are quite accelerated, but still reasonable and correspond to the current geopolitical realities. Despite the fact that the Central Bank is likely to face a significant number of risks when introducing digital currency into the Russian financial system, premature study of potential problems, as well as the timely response of the Central Bank to them, will help to survive the emerging critical situations economically painlessly. In this case, the digital ruble will have a positive impact on the digitalization of the economy in Russia, increasing the stability of the financial system and minimizing dependence on foreign sanctions pressure.
