The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the formation of negative trends in the global economy, strengthening the prerequisites and factors of the upcoming global crises. The need to clarify these factors is due to the rapid changes in geo-economic conditions and the geopolitical alignment of forces in the world.
The purpose of the article is to identify the factors of the global crisis and their ranking.
Objectives. To do this, the following tasks are being solved: research of existing approaches to identifying the prerequisites for the escalation of crisis phenomena and their verification; substantiation of the integral factor of the global crisis and the forms of its manifestation in certain areas; development of proposals to management bodies for assessing and predicting the prerequisites of crises on a systematic basis, using dynamic modeling and taking into account the hierarchy of individual factors.
Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic and factor analysis, as well as the concept of development and change of world economic patterns in global economic development.
Results. The main result of the study is the substantiation of the integral factor of the global crisis and the structuring of its individual manifestations in the civilizational, resource, financial, information, environmental and other spheres.
Conclusions. It is shown that all the factors considered are systemic in nature, stem from fundamental socioeconomic contradictions and cannot be eliminated without resolving these contradictions. It is emphasized that the process of identifying and assessing global risks is not free from subjectivity and conflict of interests of individual experts and international organizations. This makes it necessary to verify and rethink them in order to eliminate the subjectivity of international (mainly Western) experts and taking into account the national interests and goals of the Russian Federation.

Relevance. The influence of world economic systems, world economic phenomena and processes on the national economy of Russia in current conditions is quite significant. Therefore, within the framework of relevance, the target basis of the study was the generalization of theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to identifying the essence of new system-forming elements of ensuring the country's economic security in foreign economic cooperation at the present stage of economic relations.
The purpose of the study is to generalize theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to identifying the essence of the system-forming elements of ensuring the economic security of the country in foreign economic cooperation at the present stage of economic relations.
Objectives: To consider theoretical and methodological aspects that make it possible to identify the main problems of ensuring Russia's economic security in the foreign economic sphere; to clarify the system-forming elements of ensuring Russia's economic security in foreign economic cooperation at the present stage, as well as to assess the impact of crises and sanctions.
Methodology. The research is based on general scientific methods of empirical research (observation, measurement, experiment), analysis and synthesis, analogy, systematization, as well as on the development of theoretical and practical recommendations for the introduction of new elements of the foreign economic security system into federal and regional development programs of enterprises and territories.
Results. The second level of ensuring foreign economic security identified by the authors is due to the fact that various infrastructural institutions, unions, associations and coalitions formed in the world over the past 50-70 years have been formed and are developing steadily, have a supranational role and status, the ability to self-regulate, and their management decisions affect not only the strategy and tactics of political, socio-economic and other types of sustainable development of states, but also the activities and development of economic entities residents of a country, adaptively and promptly respond to the formation of new system-forming elements of foreign economic security.
Conclusions. The authors conclude that the current stage of ensuring Russia's foreign economic security, taking into account the global challenges of global problems and the sanctions policy of the Western Bloc countries, is undergoing structural restructuring caused by the transformation of old and the emergence of new system-forming elements. The basis of the modern concept of changes will be Russia's active policy at the second level of foreign economic security, proposed by us, on the formation of new structures and coalitions of international cooperation.

Relevance. The transition of developed countries to a new technological order and environmental disasters pose new challenges and threats to the domestic economy in the field of accelerating the environmentally friendly transformation of the economic system at an innovative level. These challenges are especially important for metallurgical enterprises, in connection with which the issue of innovative development of the potential of metallurgical enterprises is urgent.
Purpose. Based on the analysis of ferrous metallurgy and PJSC "Severstal", to assess the prospects for the development of innovative potential through the introduction of technologies that reduce the burden on the environment.
Objectives: Identify the main factors affecting the decline in effective demand for ferrous metallurgy products; to characterize the areas of activity of PJSC "Severstal" with the help of which the problem of reducing the carbon intensity of production is solved; analyze the effectiveness of measures to develop innovative potential.
Methodology. The research methodology included the use of methods of retrospective analysis of the volumes of production and consumption of steel; monitoring of individual indicators of corporate financial statements of domestic metallurgical holdings; analysis and synthesis of trends in innovative development and promising directions for modernization of production in the context of the environmental aspect of the concept of sustainable development.
Results. The activity of metallurgical enterprises in the development of innovative potential remains insufficiently high, despite the volatility in the domestic and foreign markets. One of the development trends is the introduction of "green" technologies. This conclusion is confirmed by a study of the elements of the investment policy implemented at PJSC "Severstal" and the growth of the enterprise's ESG rating in international analytical agencies.
Conclusions. The transition to a new technological structure of developed countries reduces the demand for the products of environmentally dirty industries. This necessitates in the long term the need to develop the innovative and technological potential of domestic metallurgical companies through the implementation of projects that reduce the burden on the environment and increase the level of transparency in the field of carbon intensity of manufactured products while updating equipment and products is updated.

The relevance of the presented article is due to the complexity and ambiguity of the course of reforms in Russia associated with the modernization of previous economic relations, systems, structures, institutions and their replacement by new ones, adequate to the challenges and threats to the sustainable economic development of the country in the context of globalization, political contradictions, sanctions from Western countries. One of the reasons for the failure of the ongoing economic transformations in the country is the removal of the state from participation in the financing of the real economy and the regulation of socio-economic processes. A new direction is being developed in management theory, the peculiarity of which is based on the use of chaos theory to analyze the dynamics of management processes.
The aim of the research. the identification and awareness of the mechanics of chaos development will allow us to predict the likelihood of its approach, and therefore, to identify the causes and to prevent negative manifestations.
Objectives. To identify the main trends in managerial processes and consider scenarios of possible development based on knowledge of the forms of managerial relationships, and to develop science-based recommendations for improving the management system.
Metodology. In the conducted research the methods of comparative analysis, expert assessments, as well as methods of fuzzy logic and dynamic programming were used, which allowed to solve the tasks.
Results. Decision-making associated with the management of the system as a whole, or its units, goals, objectives, conditions of control actions, as well as criteria for assessing the level of achievement of the goals are largely subjective and have a probabilistic basis. This generates fuzzy relations, probabilistic values, which over time leads to a change in the properties, goals and objectives facing the system.
Conclusions. In order to achieve a goal in the process of solving management problems, it is often necessary to make major structural, personnel changes and financial investments, and the decisions made must take into account the possibility of achieving the strategic objectives facing the country, region or industry.

Relevance. In modern conditions, the innovative development of the region is largely determined by the environment that promotes the activation of innovative activities of regional stakeholders. The formation of an innovative environment becomes an important task due to the objective process of transition from an economy based on production factors to an economy based on knowledge. Moreover, socio-economic factors (the quality of the infrastructure environment, the state of the economy and the innovation system) affect innovative development to a greater extent than scientific and technological progress. The economic behavior of a society is formed on the basis of established behavioral attitudes and moral values as a socio-cultural vector of its development. In this regard, there is an objective need to study the formation of the innovative environment of the region from the standpoint of the socio-cultural approach.
The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical justification for the use of the socio-cultural approach in the study of the problem of the formation of the innovation environment in the region, as well as to analyze the sociocultural factors in terms of their impact on the innovation activity of regional stakeholders.
The objectives of the research are to study the theoretical foundations and methodological aspects that reveal the issues of the formation of the innovation environment of the region, as well as to justify the use of a socio-cultural approach to study the interaction of stakeholders of the innovation process and their attitude to innovation.
Methodology. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of cognition, statistical methods, as well as the principles and methods of the systematic approach. The information component of the study includes data from Russian state statistics, reference data from domestic and foreign scientific literature, materials of scientific and practical conferences, scientific journals and the Internet environment.
Results. As a result of the study, it is established that the innovative development of the region involves the improvement of the system of social reproduction on the basis of the introduction of technological, institutional and social innovations. The modern paradigm of regional development is based on a set of approaches, among which, according to the authors, the socio-cultural approach is becoming relevant, involving the study and assessment of such factors as the socio-cultural profile of the region, the attitude of the population to new technologies and to technological entrepreneurship. In the course of the study, the main principles of the formation of the innovation environment of the region are formulated, taking into account the concept of «smart specialization» and the model of "four-link spiral of innovation".
Conclusions. The innovation environment of the region is a source that creates "windows of opportunity" for stakeholders of the innovation process, and causes stagnation of regional innovation activity. The perception of innovations by all participants of the innovation process, determined by individual characteristics and group socioeconomic characteristics, is a factor of openness to new technological achievements. This fact should be taken into account in the innovation policy of the region with an emphasis on the formation of an innovative environment that ensures the innovative activity of stakeholders.

Relevance. The development of corporate social responsibility in Russia is largely hindered due to the lack of pronounced market and financial advantages of companies implementing social and environmental projects and programs. The identification of a stable relationship between the social responsibility of companies and the financial performance of their activities is limited not only by the complexity of measurement and differences in the tools for assessing corporate social responsibility. The composition of the companies under study is of great importance, as well as the great variability of their influence on the internal and external environment, depending on the scale and type of economic activity.
The purpose is to develop an empirical typology of large Russian companies based on the assessment of the dynamics of financial performance and orientation of corporate social responsibility to the internal or external environment.
Objectives: to justify the choice and analyze the indicators characterizing the financial and economic performance of large Russian companies and their social responsibility in the context of orientation to the internal and external environment; to compare the dynamics of the financial and economic indicators of companies and their orientation to the internal and external sphere of corporate social responsibility; to identify ordered groups of companies and describe their characteristics, allowing to identify the type of company.
Methodology. The research uses general scientific methods and techniques: analysis, synthesis, analogy, generalization, comparison, and methods of economic science: graphic, statistical. The empirical basis of the study was the annual and non-financial reports of large Russian companies in the oil and gas, energy, mining and metallurgical and telecommunications sectors for the period 2015-2018.
Results. As a result of comparison of financial indicators and orientation of corporate social responsibility to the internal or external environment, groups of companies similar in a number of features are analyzed. Four types of large Russian business companies have been identified, characterized by the predominance of external, internal or balanced orientation of corporate social responsibility with a high or moderate growth rate of financial performance.
Conclusions. The existence of a stable relationship between financial performance and corporate social responsibility remains a debatable issue. The analysis and comparison of a number of indicators of the financial, economic and socio-environmental spheres showed that fast-growing companies are more oriented to the external environment, whereas moderately growing companies are characterized by the internal orientation of social programs and projects or the equivalence of the internal and external environment. A significant factor in orientation to the internal and external environment is the company's belonging to a certain sector.

Relevance. Since human resources are an element of the strategic development of the state, the service sector ensures the stable functioning of the economy at the regional level, affecting the economic security of the industry and the country as a whole.
The purpose. Determination of directions for improving the personnel security of service enterprises based on the assessment and forecasting of the implementation of existing risks.
Objectives. To reveal the concept of personnel security, to characterize its role in the system of economic security, to analyze the risks and threats to the personnel security of the organization, to identify risk management methods.
Methodology. A systematic approach to the assessment and regulation of personnel security as an element of the economic security of service enterprises has been applied. A scientific and theoretical model for managing the parameters of personnel security of service enterprises is presented.
Results. The risks associated with personnel management are one of the main factors of economic security in the service sector, in which personnel play a leading role. When developing a strategy for the development of personnel security, the main priorities are to increase professionally significant skills and acquire competencies necessary in the conditions of digitalization of the economy and increasing intellectualization of labor. The stability of the personnel of service enterprises has a positive effect on competitiveness in the markets of presence, creates the basis for customer loyalty and long-term strategic partnership.
The scientific and theoretical approaches to the evaluation of the concept of personnel security are characterized. The main personnel risks affecting the economic security of enterprises are identified. A model of personnel security management of the organization has been developed.
Conclusions. Personnel security plays an important role in the organization's economic security system, thanks to which threats that negatively affect the company's activities are predicted and eliminated.

Relevance. The research is associated with the need to develop the theory of a socially significant direction of insurance protection. The research is associated with the objective need to open up new insurance opportunities by expanding the boundaries of reproductive insurance, corresponding to the development of the basic categories of reproductive health and reproductive risks for it.
The purpose is to reveal the modern content of reproductive insurance, to determine its place in the classification system of insurance.
Objectives: to identify the historical prerequisites for the formation of meaningful boundaries of reproductive insurance; to determine the modern operational potential of reproductive insurance and on its basis to answer the question of the classification of this area of insurance protection; to identify the features of the Russian practice of reproductive insurance.
Methodology. The fulfillment of the tasks was ensured by the use of classical methods of theoretical cognition.
Results. Initially, reproductive insurance was associated with the insurance protection of women in case of death during childbirth. The modern understanding of what is reproductive health and reproductive risks has become deeper, which cannot but influence the content framework of dependent and derived categories. However, a historically determined predisposition to the formation of the same type of insurance products that do not go beyond the scope of VMI and accident and disease insurance programs, focused on the risks of complications of pregnancy and childbirth, has led to an extremely limited market even if there are conditions for its development.
Conclusions. The potential of reproductive insurance in the Russian market is practically not disclosed. The theory of reproductive insurance is not developed. It is proposed to eliminate the definitive chaos, to revise the map of insured reproductive risks for the subsequent expansion of the range of the market, insurers to show social responsibility in a segment strategically important for the interests of the nation.

Relevance. The study of human capital is currently one of the topical areas of research in the field of socioeconomic development of territories and business entities on it. At the same time, in our study, special attention was paid to the consideration of the education sector as a factor influencing the level of development and competitiveness of a modern organization, a municipality, a region, or a state.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the main trends in the development of higher education system by assessing the dynamics of the student population.
Objectives: to study the main factors of human capital formation and development; to conduct an analytical study of indicators of monitoring of higher education organizations of the Far Eastern Federal District by the given contingent of students, on the basis of which to highlight the main factor of human capital formation, determined by the systemic role of the university in the regional and national development.
Methodology. The information-empirical base of the study was formed by the analytical materials of the monitoring of higher education institutions in the Far Eastern Federal District. The research methods include synthesis, dynamic analysis and statistical method.
Results. Based on the monitoring of universities in the Far Eastern Federal District, we assessed the distribution of the reduced student contingent in terms of districts and universities. It was found that the reduced contingent tends to decrease everywhere, except for medical specialized universities in the Far Eastern Federal University and the Churapchi State Institute of Physical Culture and Sports.
Conclusion. In general, the analytical study of the main factor of human capital formation on the basis of monitoring of universities in the Far Eastern Federal District, identified as the main problem – the reduction of the reduced number of students, which in comparison with the Russian average indicators is faster. In addition, among the main problems of human capital decrease are still: the low level of innovative activity of organizations, insufficient funding of research and development. Such dynamics on the one hand indicates the concentration of the contingent of students in the leading universities, on the other hand a high degree of migration.

The relevance of the study is due to the constantly growing environmental damage caused by used disposable diapers.
The purpose of the study was to determine the potential of public participation in the disposal of disposable diapers.
Objectives: to determine the intensity and volume of use of disposable diapers, the possibility of abandoning them and switching to alternatives, to determine the readiness of the population for the disposal of household waste, including disposable diapers.
The research methodology is based on the scientific concepts of the reform of solid municipal waste management (garbage reform), which involves the involvement of citizens in the process of solving socially significant environmental problems. The analysis of the population's attitude to the disposal of disposable diapers was carried out on the basis of data from mass sociological surveys conducted by the authors in 2020.
The results of the study make it possible to state: the use of disposable diapers has become an integral part of parents' lives and the rejection of this hygiene product is unlikely to happen in the near future, therefore, the relevance of recycling and recycling of disposable diapers will not be reduced. The target audience of users of disposable diapers is mainly married women aged 26 to 45 years, living in a nucleic family of 3-4 people in apartment buildings without a trash or private houses. The income per family member in the target group ranges from one to two times the minimum wage.
The target group under study considers the problem of sorting household waste to be important and is ready to separate disposable diapers from household waste. Under these conditions, economic incentives are needed to implement separate collection. The possibility of receiving bonuses when buying a new batch of goods or providing free packaging of used diapers can positively influence the decision to separate a disposable diaper from household waste.
Conslusions. The authors conclude that the authorities should take into account the results of the survey before developing measures for the disposal of disposable diapers and draw conclusions about how to come to a compromise solution.

Relevance. Today, the state of procrastination is becoming more widespread and has an accumulative character, directly affecting the success of the personality's activity, while highlighting its emotional and cognitive characteristics associated with the motivational sphere of the personality. Despite the mass prevalence and typicality of this phenomenon in the modern socio-technological way, domestic sociological science is scarce in research on the causes of procrastination, since it is a relatively new phenomenon in scientific understanding and requires detailed analysis.
The purpose is to determine the essence, features and factors of academic procrastination and to identify the significance of motivation in the structure of these factors.
The objectives of the study are to analyze foreign and domestic scientific studies for the interpretation of the phenomenon of procrastination, to determine the main components that affect the formation of procrastinating behavior, as well as to consider the classification of procrastination on various theoretical grounds.
Methodology. The writing of the article was based on the application of traditional general methodological principles of objectivity, scientific analysis and synthesis of literature on this issue. The application of a systematic approach made it possible to consider procrastination as a system in which elements, internal and external connections are highlighted, and to identify the functional purpose of its elements.
Results. The analysis of the scientific literature allowed us to formulate the author's interpretation of the phenomenon of procrastination, to pragmatically justify the classification of procrastination, which reflects the behavioral tendencies of people with a tendency to procrastination, and also allows us to apply this typology of procrastinatory behavior regarding the areas and spheres of procrastination.
Conclusions. The analysis of the scientific literature allowed us to formulate the author's interpretation of the phenomenon of procrastination, to pragmatically justify the classification of procrastination, which reflects the behavioral tendencies of people who have a tendency to procrastination, and also allows us to apply this typology of procrastinatory behavior regarding the areas and spheres of procrastination.

Relevance. Digital reality and digital technologies are becoming a more significant part of social life, bringing to life new types of sociability, forms of social practices and interactions. It is digitalization that is becoming now the main vector of technological development and thus becoming an object of research reflection.
However, despite significant interest of numerous scientific disciplines to the problem of digitalization and digital technologies, still the “digital” concept stays utterly vague, there is no clear theoretical and methodological outline of digital reality as an object of research, the categorical framework has not been developed yet. This article is aimed to close these gaps.
The purpose of this article is to study the most important theoretical and methodological outlines of digital reality as a concept of socio-humanistic studies.
Objectives: studying the conceptual framework of digital discourse problematization that appears in various program texts which describe the experience of users’, experts’ and other types of reflection; analyzing potential institutional transformations caused by digitalization: exposing forms of subjectivity created by digital technologies; evaluating the general potential of digital sociology and “digital” methods of sociological research.
Methodology. In the article general scientific methods are used (induction, deduction, analyses, synthesis, idealization).
Results. The basic theoretical and methodological outlines of digital reality research have been studied, which can become a starting point of further development of digital problematic in socio-humanistic studies in theoretical as well as in practical aspect.
Conclusions. Studying digital realty is directly determined by evaluating forms of subjectivity brought by it, by analyzing possible perspectives and risks of digitalization, as well as by studying the broadest contexts of digital discourse problematization. The development of digital sociology as a separate sociological branch does not have significant basis, while sociological methods based on digital technologies are becoming more important.

Relevance. The article analyzes one of the fastest growing areas of research in the field of climate change, vulnerability and human migration. Attention is focused on the relationship between climate migration and its consequences for the socio-economic development of countries. Climate migration is more than a speculation about the future. Analysts identify climate change as one of the main drivers of migration from developing countries to developed ones. There are disagreements among the world's leading powers in dealing with climate problems and likely scenarios of environmental threats.
The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the causes, trends and predictions of climate migration. Suggest recommendations for future research on this issue.
Objectives: to highlight a number of topical methodological issues that are being studied by researchers working in the field of climate migration; аnalyze the factors affecting climate migration, conduct a comparative analysis of developing and developed countries in the context of the goal, show possible scenarios for the development of climate migration.
Methodology. The methodological basis was formed by classical and modern theoretical provisions that allow considering the foundations of migration processes in the context of globalization. A comprehensive study of the problem is based on general scientific methods of comparative and systemic analysis, and includes individual case studies, statistical data, reports of international organizations.
Results: identified methodological problems caused by the uncertainty of scientific and managerial approaches, the lack of an international regulatory framework, terminological designation of this phenomenon.
An attempt is made to determine the key role of climatic factors in the decision to migrate. Possible scenarios for the development of climatic migration are presented. Recommendations are given to researchers studying the relationship between climate and migration. Topical approaches reflecting local climatic problems are proposed.
Conclusions. The results of a survey study based on a comparative analysis showed the relationship between climate change and population mobility. It is advisable in choosing a research methodology to focus on issues related to conceptualization, measurement of key indicators or modeling of these relationships.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the creation of digital network platforms is accompanied by an ambiguous process of socio-technical convergence, during which both positive and negative consequences arise, both intentional and unintended.
The purpose of this publication is to identify and structure the most serious adverse dangers of socio-technical convergence of digital network platforms.
Objectives: to give definitions of the concept of danger and risks of socio-technical convergence; determine the internal and external subject areas of their manifestation.
Metodology. The research methodology is based on the concept of platform research, supplemented by the authors with the ideas of sociotechnical convergence. To classify risks, the taxonomy method was used, the source of information for which was an analytical review of academic literature and journalism on digitalization problems.
The result of the study was the classification of the dangers of sociotechnical convergence. Depending on the position of the source, the hazards were divided into external and internal. External hazards were classified depending 1) on the position of the source of hazards, 2) on the composition of the digital network platform, which has a certain structure, and 3) on the level of subjectivity of hazards, that is, the level of user influence on the functioning processes, the ability to control the occurrence of certain results. External dangers were also classified on two grounds: the level of subjectivity and the object of its manifestation. The taxonomic division resulted in the classification according to such subject areas as digital data, digital surveillance, digital morality, digital identity, digital privacy, digital communication, digital accessibility, digital competence, digital clusters.

Relevance. In the conditions of the civilizational crisis of the global world-system, all spheres of human life are chaotic. Our times are characterized by its unprecedented scale and informational synchronicities, which are called the great anthropological transition. A huge number of value matrices, ethics and identities are disintegrating and colliding, creating a traumatic inner world of millions of people who are doomed to be in a state of permanent uncertainty for a long time. The stabilization of the inner world of people becomes an extremely important task, which is solved by rethinking and updating the ethical norms of relations with the world and people.
The purpose is determination of the ontological status and the possibility of building an integral ethics that allows creating the optics of understanding and communication of carriers of already known ethics.
Objectives: to analyze the concept of integral ethics, its role in the processes of human adaptation in conditions of uncertainty; to propose a system-functional model of integral ethics.
Methodology. In the process of working on the research, the following methods were used historicalphilosophical, synergetic, system-functional, comparative and culturological approaches to the problem.
Results: a comparative analysis of the properties of adaptability to crisis for various ideological ethical systems is carried out; а model of the Sophia ethical key is proposed as a criterion of integrity and the degree of integrality of ethics; the effectiveness of integral ethics in the conditions of a Large Anthropological Transition is discussed.
Conclusion. As a result of the study, it turned out that the model of integral ethics proposed in the work is the most complete and holistic for the tasks of harmonious passage of the crisis phases of a large anthropological transition.

Relevance. Information and digital technologies are effective tools for the development of all spheres of society. In modern conditions, digital transformation is the key to the successful socio-economic development of the region. Digital technologies allow regional government bodies to effectively solve strategic management tasks and achieve their goals of socio-economic development.
The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical and methodological provisions for the formation of a digital system for managing the region's economy, built on the basis of a platform approach that ensures effective interaction between participants and allows solving strategic management tasks.
Objectives. Research objectives: study of the essence and goals of project management in executive authorities; study of the existing information resource that ensures the interaction of participants in the process of solving problems of a strategic nature; characteristic of the platform approach as an effective digital model of regional governance.
Methodology. The study is based on the use of methods of systemic and structural-functional approaches to the consideration of information resources, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis.
Results. This article discusses the goals and principles of project management in executive authorities. The role of a single information resource for planning and monitoring the execution of state programs and national projects of the Russian Federation in the digital transformation of the regional economic management system is revealed. On the basis of the study, the author proposes a platform approach as an effective mechanism for managing economic processes at the regional level.
Conclusions. Active processes of digital transformation are changing the architecture of the regional economic management system. The functioning of the system of strategic management of the region's economy presupposes the creation of an information and analytical model based on the use of a set of information and digital technologies.

Relevance. At present, the asymmetry of regions has become a priority problem in the development of regions in both Russia and China. In Russia, the problem of regional asymmetry is already quite acute and requires the development and implementation of public policy measures aimed at reducing inequality. In China, the unevenness of territorial development also occupies one of the key places in the policy of the country's leadership.
The purpose is explore the use of digital technologies in the development and implementation of government policies to reduce the asymmetry of regional development (using the example of policies to target the poor in China).
Objectives: analyze the policy for targeted assistance to the poor in China, identify the experience of using digital technologies in this policy; determine the necessity and inevitability of the use of digital technologies in the development and implementation of state policy to reduce the asymmetry of regional development.
Methodology. The article uses the tools of analytical, economic, statistical and comparative analysis.
Results. This article examines policies to target the poor in China and shows the benefits and importance of using digital technologies in the design and implementation of policies to reduce regional asymmetries.
Conclusions. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of asymmetry reduction policies, governments must continue to improve the use of digital technologies in the design and implementation of asymmetry reduction policies.

Relevance. Contemporary art develops so active and includes new areas. The question "what is art?" becomes more and more relevant. To outline the boundaries of art, it is necessary to find out whether the images of artistic creation have their own ontological status or are only combinations of phenomena of external reality. We turn to theatrical practice, which allows us to highlight the ontological foundations of the stage image.
The purpose is to determine the ontological status of an artistic image by analyzing the problem of perception. Revealing the relationship between the perception of an artistic image and the mind and body problem.
Objectives: to analyze the concept of "artistic image"; show the relationship of his ontological status with the problem of perception; using the example of a stage image to reveal the importance of the interaction of the body and consciousness in its creation.
Methodology. Philosophical approach to the problem of perception, the hermeneutic method, the methodology of generalized corporeality in the works of theatrical theorists.
Results: a historical and philosophical analysis of the problem of perception was carried out, its results were applied to the situation of perception of an artistic image; the connection between perception and interaction of the body and consciousness was revealed on the example of a stage image.
Conclusions. It became clear that the ontological status of an artistic image presupposes the unity of its “thingness” and its metaphysical component. This position is confirmed by studies in the field of theater, demonstrating that the stage image presupposes the synthesis of the consciousness and body of the actor.
