The North Caucasus in the system of Russian national identity

The article deals with the problem of preserving the Russian identity in the context of globalization. The North Caucasus is a geopolitical node of the clash of different cultures. To the extent that the understanding of the need for mutual intercultural exchange becomes more meaningful, the establishment of integration ties between the Russian and Caucasian civilizations will be more realistic, and the future of this region and Russia as a whole depends on this understanding. Overcoming such destructive phenomena as ethnic nationalism, chauvinism, separatism or religious fundamentalism can be achieved only through further accelerated modernization of local societies, while preserving their socio-cultural identity in harmony with the all-Russian civil consolidation.
Keywords: geopolitics, identity, culture, nation, North Caucasus, civilization.

August 19, 2021: the end of the “post-Soviet history” or the continuation of the development process?

The process of development of post-Soviet societies and states proceeding in the mode of «cyclical alternation of states of stability and crises» has not brought unambiguous political and socio-economic results, which provides researchers with a wide space for scientifically based assessments and interpretations. The majority of post-Soviet states are still far from achieving qualitative and institutionally conditioned stability. The author of the article attempts to analyze the intermediate results of the political and socio-economic transit of post-Soviet societies and countries since their independence at the end of 1991. As a result, he comes to the conclusion that, despite the large-scale changes that have taken place, the end of the «post-Soviet history» is still far enough away, and there is no fundamental alternative to the strategy of reflexive modernization.
Keywords: post-Soviet space, post-Soviet transit, development crises, development resources, reflexive modernization.

Double digits and the meaning of such numbers in life, politics and economics

The complexity of the world that a person constructs around himself can be understood through the ability to read a wide variety of symbols, which act as formalized images of the most common manifestations of reality. An analysis of the coincidences of these manifestations in time or in meaning led scientists to the conclusion that there is such a connection between them, which they characterized as synchronicity. Its actions are easiest to look at, relying on the data obtained using numbers, which have the property of repetition and are reflected in the dates of many, both positive and negative, but always fateful events.
Keywords: number, digit, history, economics, culture, politics, synchronicity, numerology.

Terek Cossacks and their social attitudes in the revolutionary events of 1917-1920

The article attempts to study the situation of the Terek Cossacks using new archival materials and modern historiography, which underwent serious socio-political metamorphoses in the conditions of the revolution and civil war. The Cossacks, which for a long time was considered in Russian historiography as a counter-revolutionary force, turned out to be far from a homogeneous mass. At the first stage of the civil war, the Cossacks did not express their moods in any way, taking a fairly calm position. This continued until the new government began to carry out reforms. Many of them hurt Cossack independence and farms. This could not but cause a backlash, which resulted in the creation of armed anti-Bolshevik detachments. The involvement of new material made it possible to consider the public mood of the Terek Cossacks, the reasons for its late entry into the socio-political confrontation. It was found that the reasons for the change of public sentiment in his environment lay in the political preferences of the authorities at different stages of the political struggle for dominance. The mechanism of the entry of some social groups into civil confrontation, accompanied by fratricidal war, was investigated. Even a superficial analysis allowed us to identify problems that need to be studied using modern methodological approaches and principles.
Keywords: Cossacks, the revolution, the mindset, the political preferences of the opposition.
