Introduction: Russian society is regularly shaken by the reports of the Russian families who have left for permanent residence abroad. It is shocking that abroad, as it turns out, for one reason or another, often far-fetched, it is possible to withdraw children from the family and commit them to more trustworthy, if it seems so to the competent authorities, adoptive parents, to accuse a mother of kidnapping her own child, if she took the child to Russia, to refuse the recognition of the validity of marriages if they were concluded in the territory of this country, etc. All these cases show that the legal regulators that exist in that regard in Russia do not clearly work in other states and do not create sufficient guarantees of respect for the rights of Russian nationals. In this regard, the purpose of the paper is to consider the current state and prospects of normative improvement of the domestic norms of private international law in the regulation of cross-border family and marriage relations. Methods: the research is based on the use of logical, dialectical techniques and methods of scientific knowledge, comparative legal and legal-technical analysis of wording of normative acts and materials of the law enforcement practice. The study was the analysis of Russia’s participation in the standardized agreements both of conflict and substantive nature in the field of international marriage and family relations and the status of the national law in this area. The results of the review became the basis for the conclusion that the Russian legislator was not sufficiently attentive to the processes of international unification and harmonization of the norms governing marriage and family relations with a foreign element. In this regard, the proposals were made to improve the current domestic family law and the acts of law enforcement practice.

Family And Marriage

Introduction: the institution of marriage is the pillar of every society and state and forms their material, spiritual, psychological and even ideological basis. The state is inextricably linked with the family and marriage. Changing each of the elements of this interaction leads to the radical changes in the entire system, so the state must regulate these social institutions in a certain way. Modern Russia strives to achieve a reasonable balance of human rights and freedoms, develop a democratic society and work closely with the international community while preserving the established moral foundations and traditional values related to the institution of the family and marriage. The purpose of the publication is to determine the current state and prospective vectors of development of the state policy in relation to the institution of marriage. The research methodology is based on the use of the logical, dialectical techniques and methods of scientific knowledge, the comparative legal and legal-technical analysis of the texts of laws and other documents. Results: the paper analyzes the scientific literature, the Russian and foreign legislation, the international legal acts and decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in order to determine the efficiency of the state policy in this area, establish the criteria for achieving a sufficient balance between the non-interference of the state in the gender issues and maintaining the institution of traditional marriage in Russia. The conducted research of the issue suggests that in general, the legislation of the Russian Federation concerning the family and marriage relations is quite stable, but in response to the challenges of modern times, it is undergoing a certain reform. Conclusions: the practice of implementing the European Convention on Human Rights requires that the Russian legislation be seriously reformed in terms of regulating the gender issues and marital and family relations. In recent years, the Russian Federation has repeatedly lost cases in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), without being able to defend the fairness of its position. According to the authors of the publication, the solution to this problem is possible by reviewing certain international obligations of Russia in the context of their interpretation of the ECHR, as well as forming a consolidated position in Russian society regarding the institution of traditional marriage and the gender relations. These changes should be reflected in both the domestic legislation and the legalized law enforcement practices. The authors consider the achieved level of tolerance of Russian law regarding the institutions of the family and marriage to be extremely sufficient for the preservation and sustainable development of Russian society.

The article considers trafficking in women in the late nineteenth – early twentieth century as a problem of international scale. The author identifies the Russian Empire and Sub-Russian Ukraine in particular as one of the world's supply centers, the so-called “living goods”, mainly to Turkey and the Americas (the USA, Argentina, Brazil). The existence of an extensive system for organizing the recruitment of girls, in particular the institute of agents engaged in the search for “white slaves” are analyzed, the examples of methods they used (from press announcements and offers of high-paying jobs to fictitious marriages with fake passports) are given, the passive role of the state in preventing human trafficking is demonstrated (the term of punishment of agents was minimal, cases were often closed in the absence of witnesses, and police received bribes from the owners of brothels). The main factors causing the spread of trafficking in women in Sub-Russian Ukraine were material. Against the background of modernization and urbanization, further development of capitalist relations, expansion of the entertainment industry, officially legalized prostitution, the institution of family and marriage is being transformed, which also affected the growth of international trafficking in women in the early twentieth century. The world community began an active fight against trafficking in women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, holding international congresses in London and Frankfurt am Main. However, the active fight against human trafficking was hampered by imperfect legislation in most countries and sometimes by the lack of laws under which organizers of trafficking in women could be prosecuted. The active work of the Russian Society for the Protection of Women in the early twentieth century, in particular its Odessa branch, led to the development and implementation of the relevant law and the holding of the All-Russian Congress in the fight against trafficking in women.

The article deals with the factors ensuring interethnic stability in the modern Dagestan society, the assessment of the interethnic tension potential as the characteristics of (stable/conflict) interrelations among peoples, the ground for the formation of disintegrating processes, the causes of interethnic confrontation and exacerbation of interethnic relations, the base of the development ofattitude towards interethnic tolerance and intolerance, “cultural detachment”of the Dagestan peoples. The problem of harmonization of interethnic relations is one of the most important at the present stage of the development of the Russian society, and it is especially relevant in administrative territories characterized by diversity of ethno-social structure. Against the background of socio-economic stabilization of the noughties, the state-civil (Russian) and republican (Dagestan-wide) identities, gradually gaining weight, have significantly strengthened their positions in the structure of social identity. Moreover, republican identity now prevails over ethnic one,it allows to conclude that the importance of interethnic harmony in the Dagestan society is growing. Basing on the results of the sociological research, the author considers the reasons for exacerbation of interethnic relations, including territorial disputes, peculiarities of land reform, low level of socio-economic development of the republic, competition for land and workplaces, low culture of interethnic communication, migration of people from mountainous regions to flat land, employment issue, side effect of education and loss of principles of international education. Despite the existence of a latent form of interethnic confrontation and “social detachment”, in the mass consciousness of the respondents there is a positive perception of the Dagestan peoples, an orientation toward maintaining close interethnic communication in almost all spheres of social contact, except for family and marriage sphere.

Today there are hundreds of papers published on the problem of labor migration from Central Asian countries, its political, social and economic aspects, as well as on the problem of integration and adaptation of migrants in the Russian society. However, the topic of migrant poetry is still poorly studied in Russia. At least there is no such research on Tajik labor migrants. The genres of Tajik migrant poetry vary significantly and include such forms as love poems, political songs, songs about migration hardships, religious poems. This paper is based on the results of monitoring social networks «Odnoklassniki», «Facebook», as well as on the results of personal communication and interviews with poets. In the paper we use the poems of three authors written in Tajik, Russian and Shugnani languages. The semantic translation from Tajik and Shugnani was done by the author of this paper

This article focuses on the debate over Crimea's accession. The content analysis relies on data collected during the first and most turbulent year of Crimea's incorporation, which started with the decision to conduct a referendum on the Crimean status and then to declare Crimea's independence in March 2014. The sample consists of 50 entries published on LiveJournal, both posts and commentaries. We have discovered and problematized severe disagreements in bloggers' worldview that give rise to the antinomies of bloggers' linguistic consciousness. By this, we mean the use of words with opposite connotations relating to the same event within the same blog and an inconsistency between bloggers' perception of the event and the affective meanings of lexical items attached to it. Our main point is that Crimea's accession prompts bloggers to reduce this dissonance by “rolling up the semantic rainbow,” that is, by destroying meanings with rigid binary semantic opposition, which thereby further exacerbates deep-rooted divisions within Russian society where patriots and liberals increasingly keep apart.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the influence of L.N. Tolstoy and I.I. Sergiev (John of Kronstadt) on the formation of personal worldview in Russian society. The analysis is based on the testimonies of the contemporaries and the previously not reissued publication of “Novy Put” (“New Way”) journal on the subject. In the context of the declared problematics, special attention is paid to the question of transformation of religious consciousness in the course of the personality formation in relation to the period under consideration (the beginning of the 20th century). The author reveals and analyzes the main components of the life stand of Tolstoy and Father John of Kronstadt in the context of their influence on contemporaries. The results of the study allow to reveal the following antitheses that characterize Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, respectively: doubt - faith, search for oneself – following the once chosen path, preaching of non-resistance as part of the philosophy of not-doing (not doing evil) – preaching of active upholding of faith (doing good), “simple living” – real life with and for common people.
