This article explores how senses of belonging, place, and mobility are linked to each other in the context of rapid socio-political change and human mobility. Using the sociological concept of place-belongingness, the article examines narratives of belonging among young people from Crimea who moved to Moscow to pursue higher education in the two years following Russia’s 2014 annexation of the peninsula. Drawing on 38 biographical interviews conducted in Moscow with young people from Crimea, the article demonstrates how ‘movements of borders across people’ (to build on Rogers Brubaker’s expression) result in a non-binary construction of belonging across places, based on the access an individual has to constellations of resources different places offer. The analysis shows that narratives of belonging among young people from Crimea revolve around resource categories that include economic resources, emotional resources, resources that reconcile multiple identities, and ontological security resources. This study moves beyond analysis of identities as linked to nation-building in the post-Soviet space, focusing on categories of ‘place’ emerging from the perspectives of study participants.

The decades that have passed since the collapse of the USSR have identified serious challenges for Russia, the answer to which depends on the prospect of maintaining its leadership position in the integration processes in the modern post-Soviet space, not only due to objective advantages in the possession of resources, but also due to its attractiveness for the younger generation of the post-Soviet countries. The article makes an attempt of a sociological assessment of the perception of modern Russian humanitarian projects by young people in post-Soviet countries, their willingness to join the international educational projects proposed by Russia and build a trajectory of professional development, taking into account the opportunities available in Russia. The authors draw attention to the need for regular monitoring of the perception of Russia by the youth of the post-Soviet countries in order to adapt the proposed programs of international cooperation to the needs of the target audience, and also offer a methodology for its construction.

The article analyzes both the phenomena of innovative perception of reality by a modern leader, his innovative thinking, and the challenges that determine their relevance. The main tasks set before the head of the educational institution of the realities of the post-Soviet space are considered from the standpoint of social, educational, cultural in the context of the transition to market forms of management. The aim of the article is to reveal the modern requirements for the professional skills of the head of an educational institution (in particular, sports), as a person with innovative thinking, able to find the optimal balance between collective and individual. It is noted that the correct training of managerial staff in pedagogy means as its end product of individually strong children who are able to work productively in teams, rather than the gray mass. Therefore, the head of the educational institution (and sports education institution – in the first place) must be able to separate individual and collective interests, balance them, choosing an effective strategy for educating young people as members of a new society, its vanguard and democratic social views.

This study aims to identify the associations between multiple identities (ethnic, civil, religious, Soviet, civilizational) and two types of social capital (bridging and bonding) in two post-Soviet republics: Estonia and Kyrgyzstan. In both republics, the sample included representatives of two generations of ethnic Russians and representatives of the ethnic majority (the Estonians and the Kyrgyz), with at least 150 respondents in each group, so the total sample was 1,296 respondents. The authors used their own techniques to evaluate multiple identities, and a modified version of the social resource generator was used to evaluate bridging and bonding social capital. The results of the study showed that the younger generation in the post-Soviet space tends to have lower social capital, especially the bridging one. "Soviet" identity in the ethnic Russians is not associated with social capital, whereas in the representatives of the ethnic majority it is. Religious identity proved to be an important factor of both types of social capital in all the groups considered. The civic identity is linked to the bridging social capital in the Russians in both republics. Among the Estionian and Kyrgyz young people, ethnic identity is strongly associated with their bonding social capital. Also, the "European" identity of both generations of the Estonians demonstrated a strong association with the bonding social capital.
