The object of the author's research is the history of the Liberal Democratic Party, which was founded in the late USSR and gradually became an important element of the political life of the Russian Federation. The subject was the formation and development of V. V. Zhirinovsky's personality and party, its changes during the transformation of the economic, social and political system of the Russian Federation.

Using a variety of information sources, such as scientific research, reference publications, materials from archival collections, the general and party press, the author recreates the difficult path of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, its position regarding the government and the opposition. This allows the author to assess the development path of the party as one of the elements of public relations, formally playing the role of an alternative to the ruling forces, replacing a full-fledged political opposition in the perception of the masses of citizens. The political fate of the Liberal Democratic Party has become a reflection of the views of the ruling elite on the formation of the political system of post-communist Russia. Acting on the political field of nationalists and statesmen, centrists and conservatives, changing its position between the opposition and the government, the Liberal Democratic Party actually contributed to the formation of a pro-Western centrist regime in the Russian Federation, hostile to both liberals and socialists promoting the ideas of real economic, social, and political transformations.

The article examines the problem of political struggle among the Russian emigration in Manchuria in the 1930s and early 1940s on the example of the activities of B. N. Shepunov, the leader of one of the regional emigrant groups in Manchukuo. The basis of the documentary was a set of unpublished materials, which are mainly biographical in nature. The confrontation in the political circles of the Russian emigration to Manchukuo, caused by ideological differences and membership in competing political organizations in the 1920s, practically did not weaken even after the liquidation of political groups disloyal to the Japanese and the creation of a single administrative body (Bureau for Russian Emigration), designed to unite all emigrants. This confrontation, led by ambitious leaders of individual groups, took on ugly forms under the repressive regime in Manchukuo, combining forceful pressure, mutual denunciation and political provocations. Japanese military and administrative circles, which were not consolidated themselves, were drawn into the internal emigrant struggle at the suggestion of various Russian groups and lost the ability to effectively control the conflict among political emigration.

The article is devoted to the important period in the political biography of Boris Savinkov – his stay in “white” Omsk in October–November 1918, when exactly here, in the temporary capital of “white” Russia, the final military-political doctrine and strategy of the united anti-Soviet political forces to fight against Soviet Russia were being formed. Despite the relatively short time of B. V. Savinkov's stay in Omsk, this period in its capacity, acuteness and importance became for him in many ways decisive. The article is made in the trend of synthesis of the such specializations as “The History of Russia”, “Sociality-Politic Anthropology”, “Regional History”. There are the combination of historical-anthropology approach and biographical method the main methodological base of this investigation. It was in Omsk in October–November 1918 when Savinkov was almost finally formed as a realist-pragmatist of the counter-revolution. Almost — because the final decision he made, apparently, on the road, or rather, during the sea route from Russia to Europe, when he learnt that in Omsk there was the coup d'йtat of Admiral Kolchak. When he arrived in Paris, he would have no doubts, and he would continue the work entrusted to him by the All-Russian Provisional Government – the Directory – already in the interests of the Russian (Omsk) Kolchak government. Of course, Savinkov had his own personal considerations, explanations and justifications in this regard. Later he would write: “There was a question of decisive importance whether Siberia would be able to create an army or not. This question was more important than those discussed at the meeting in Ufa, and perhaps the essence of the coup that had taken place in Omsk in November 1918 lay in the fact that the Siberians did not believe that the Directory would be able to organize a disciplined military force. It was organized by Admiral Kolchak”. This was the decisive argument in the decision of the former fighter against tsarism, SR-radical and terrorist to move to the camp of extreme reaction, against which at this very time in Russia, Siberia and, including in the “capital” Omsk, many SRs, including some of his former associates in the fight against tsarism, began to rise.

The relevance of the study is due to the activation of Russia in the eastern direction and the need to solve urgent geostrategic problems in Asia. Throughout the XIX century two military educational institutions: Orenburg Neplyuevsky and Siberian Omsk played the most important geopolitical role in the border region in terms of training military and civilian (Russian and Asian) personnel, general specialists in interaction with Asian people. Their activities largely contributed to the integration of Asian people into a single territorial and ideological space of the Russian Empire. The accumulated historical experience certainly deserves research and updating these days. The purpose of the research is to reconstruct the experience of functioning of the Omsk military educational institution within a period limited by chronological framework. The research methodology is a combination of institutional and anthropological approaches, comparative historical, biographical, problematic and statistical methods, which made it possible to reach certain generalizations and conclusions. It is stated that the staff is weak, in principle, characteristic of the provincial military educational institution of the period under review. It is indicated that the management apparatus, as far as possible, managed to quickly solve them. Based on the analysis of the office documentation of the institution, it becomes clear that the educational process of the Omsk school as a whole corresponded to the Charter of military educational institutions of the 2nd class of 1830s with a certain regional specificity. All this is contributed to the acquisition of the status of a cadet corps in the mid-1840s Omsk military educational institution.

The article examines features of the development of the Altai Republic their compliance with the expectations of the population of the subject, the national intelligentsia and the managerial elite.

Using scientific articles, analytical materials, reference publications, political journalism and the press, the author conducts an in-depth study of the functioning and development of the Altai Republic in the 1990s.

The author concludes that the abandonment of industrial development and attempts to create a transport hub within the Altai Republic connecting this region of the Russian Federation with near abroad. The status of an ecologically clean territory of agricultural production and a tourist cluster was also unsuccessful and did not lead to an increase in the welfare of the population. Although the creation of the Altai Republic was a factor in stabilizing the domestic political situation due to the realization of the rights of the peoples of the Altai Mountains to republican sovereignty.

The article reconstructs the life path of the Soviet writer and public figure, policeman and participant in the Great Patriotic War Sergei Ivanovich Veremey by a set of unpublished sources identified by the author of the article in the funds of the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region and the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The anthropological approach to history and the biographical method are used as the methodological basis. The stages of the hero's biography are highlighted and the features of his adaptation to the social cataclysms of the 1910–1940s are analyzed. The contribution of Sergei Ivanovich Veremey to the culture of the Omsk region is assessed.

The article is dedicated to the participant of the Great Patriotic War, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, legendary Guard Major General of the tank forces Azi Aslanov. The research is based on sources from the funds of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, available through the open network portal “Memory of the People”. The narrative genre has defined the methodological block of research — a combination of military anthropology, institutional and systemic approaches, as well as the biographical method. This method allows achieving the aim of the work — having considered the military path of the commander, to highlight his tactical innovations that ensured the success of the actions of the units.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the biography of the administrative and operational employee of the Soviet security agencies Pyotr Nikitich Basyuk, whose many years of service took place in Western Siberia during the Stalinist era. The basis of the study is a set of unpublished official sources, which are part of three personal files of the hero of the publication, stored in the State Archives of the Novosibirsk Region. The study of these documents through a methodological prism combining anthropological and systemic approaches, as well as a biographical method, made it possible to achieve the goal of the study - having reconstructed the life path of P. N. Basyuk, to identify factors that potentially influenced the development of the career of a provincial security officer in the 1920s–1940s.

The article analyzes the relationship between narrative identity, unconscious memory structures, and cultural context. The main attention is paid to the division into ‘internal’ (autobiographical, based on personal experience) narratives and ‘external’ (cultural, historical, and social metanarratives) elements of identity construction. The paper uses the concept of ‘identity narrative’ — the unconscious basis of identity formed by non-declarative memory that precedes reflexive autobiographical narration. To explain the connection between narrative identity and the unconscious, the concept of ‘narrative unconscious’ is introduced. It is a non-reflexive way of perceiving things, their assessments, and interaction with them, what constitutes the unconscious cultural horizon of the individual; an unconscious, but perceived dimension of traditions. ‘Narrative unconscious’ is an aspect of identity that contains an unarticulated and unconscious connection between personal history and the cultural environment. Using examples from the works of M. Freeman, A. MacIntyre and C. Milosz, it is demonstrated how personal experience of interaction with collective narratives forms an often unconscious unity of the individual and the transpersonal. It is argued that the analysis of narrative identity should include not only questions about the ways of constructing an autobiographical narrative and its meanings, but also the question of distinguishing between the multiple sources that construct personal identity. This implies the creation of an expanded model of narrative identity, understood as a dynamic process in which the conscious construction of autobiography is associated with the use of implicit and unconscious culturally mediated elements of memory.

The paper analyses epistemic happenstance and argues for the possibility of incidental knowledge. It considers how minimal concepts of knowledge, reflecting various basic intuitions, operate in situations where there is an influence of chance or fortunate circumstances. Based on this, a distinction is made between epistemic coincidence and epistemic causation randomness. Both types of epistemic happenstance are broader alternatives to the narrow understanding of epistemic luck that has developed in contemporary epistemology. As an example, the influence of the epistemic causation randomness on the formation of intellectual virtues is considered.

This article is a critical response to Roman Kochnev’s Parfitian Teletransportation or Error Management and Andrei Nekhaev’s Teletransportation, Replication and Mereology. It defends the principle of the mereorganic continuity from the criticisms made by Kochnev and Nekhaev. First, the concept of survival is analyzed and how its meanings differ in ordinary speech and in Derek Parfit’s psychological theory of identity. Then, the context of the principle of the mereorganic continuity in the phenomenalist theory of identity is described. Based on this context, Kochnev’s and Nekhaev’s objections are refuted. In particular, it is shown that these objections are based on an incorrect interpretation of the principle and the role it should play in our theories of personal identity. It is concluded that the mereorganic continuity is a common- sense proposition that cannot be rejected without good reason, and neither Kochnev nor Nekhaev were able to offer such reasons.

The paper presents an analysis of the notions of ‘verifiability-in-principle’ and ‘(un)verifiability-by- me’. Based on the distinction between logical and causal possibility, it is shown that the pronoun ‘I’ is not a demonstrative symbol lacking any descriptive elements. This means that proposition about causally inaccessible to me but logically possible experiences are meaningful. Thus, the verifiability-principle can contain no reference to me and my experiences.

The regulating mechanism of socio-economic relations is the labor market, which manifests itself in the sphere of labor circulation — its movement in the reproductive process. The dynamics and structure of the labor market can be revealed through a set of indicators — the number of workers (including employed and unemployed), the level of labor force participation, the employment rate, and the unemployment rate. Since the price of labor is formed in the labor market under the influence of supply and demand, the average monthly nominal and real wages of employees of organizations are important indicators.

The labor market in the Omsk region is developing under the influence of regional and national macroeconomic trends. The socio-economic features of the national economy can be attributed to the all- Russian factors. Regional characteristics include the socio-economic position of the region in the system of national relations.

Based on regional statistics, the article evaluates current trends in the development of the labor market in the Omsk region.

The article considers and analyzes the demand for graduates of higher education in the Omsk region in the context of areas of training and Omsk universities by the level of training Specialist/Bachelor's and Master's degrees. The analysis is carried out according to three criteria: the number of graduates, average salary, employment rate. The data are compared with the projected need for personnel to determine the presence of gaps in the qualification and structural imbalance.

The authors highlight the problem of imbalance between the needs of the regional labor market and the number of specialists graduating in priority areas of training and consider possible measures to level out structural imbalances between labor supply and demand.

Currently, microformats (or ultra-convenience) with the 20 % market share are of considerable interest to major market players. At the end of 2024 consumer behavior began to change and resulted in a slowdown of traffic growth with a focus on the low price segment, while maintaining the dynamics of retailers and channels offering an expanded range. The purpose of the research is to explore promising formats of domestic retail, as well as to identify factors contributing to their further development. The authors use theoretical approaches to the terminological understanding of the trade organizations format and present the trade formats classification. The features of modern formats of retail trade organizations and the main directions of their development are revealed. Moreover, the authors identify the factors influencing the development of modern trading formats. The scientific novelty of the research concludes in the systematization of modern trade formats of the digital economy. Special attention is paid to online trading as the most dynamically developing and demanded format of modern trade.
