Relevance. In modern international trade in Russia, the key role is played by the development of the export potential of various sectors of the national economy, which is necessary not only to receive currency for goods, but also for the further technological and economic development of the country. However, under the conditions of permanent sanctions, since 2014, certain sectors of the national economy have been using re-exports to avoid economic stagnation of the industry.

The purpose is to investigate the main manifestations of re–export in Russia's international trade and suggest ways to improve the export potential of industries.

Objectives: to study the legal basis of international trade of the Russian Federation, taking into account reexport; to assess Russia's re-export cooperation with individual countries; to identify priority areas for re-export of the Russian Federation in 2025.

Methodology. The methods of analysis and synthesis of theoretical and statistical material are based on data from UNCTAD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Monetary Fund, the Russian Federation, Turkey, China, and Armenia.

Results. The article reveals the directions of Russia's re-export cooperation with Turkey, China, and Armenia under the conditions of sanctions and embargoes from the United States of America and the European Union for the supply of certain types of products, including energy. Russia's positions in the form of retaliatory sanctions and restrictions on the supply of certain groups of goods for export and re-export are outlined.

Conclusions. The main conclusion is that Russia, like a number of foreign countries, actively uses re-exports to maintain the country's economic and technological positions on the world market, as well as to overcome sanctions restrictions and embargoes from the countries of the "collective West."

Relevance. The current system of international trade, based on the norms of the World Trade Organization, the activities of international organizations (the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank) and the process of globalization is undergoing turbulent changes. This is most clearly manifested in changes in the national regulation of foreign trade activities of individual countries and the configuration of international logistics. Trends in the logistics of the movement of goods within the framework of world trade cover the development of relatively new transport corridors, the creation of new ones and the interception of management of the "old", well-established arteries of international logistics. In this regard, it becomes possible for Russia to expand the use of its territory as a transit one.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the characteristics of the current stage of development of the global economy and to determine the main directions for expanding Russia’s participation as a transit territory.

The objectives of the study are to determine the effectiveness of the international system of regulation of world trade; to identify "bottlenecks" in the movement of goods; to analyze the main trends in the infrastructural development of international trade; to determine the transport and logistics prospects of Russia.

Methodology. It was conducted the analysis of the legal documentation governing key aspects of international trade, it allowed through comparison to evaluate the efficiency of the functioning of the world trade system. Using induction and deduction methods, the authors have attempted to evaluate the prospects for the implementation of Russia’s logistics potential.

Results. The mechanisms and tools of international trade, which were based on the norms of the World Trade Organization, are practically not functioning. Unilateral pressure is actively practiced by changing customs tariffs and quantitative restrictions in circumvention of UN decisions. Some states initiate the transformation of international transport corridors (Turkey, Nicaragua). The current trends have led to the intensification of the redistribution of spheres of influence within the framework of geopolitical interests and the management of international directions of goods movement.

Conclusions. Russia has certain opportunities to use the current situation to develop its transport and logistics potential. At the same time, it is necessary to intensify the modernization of the transport and logistics infrastructure, expand the financial services system for transport and logistics companies, and develop transport engineering.

The relevance of this study is due to the need for a systematic analysis of the impact of the digital economy on the sustainable and balanced development of China. It is especially important to understand whether digital transformation can become a tool for "catching up" for less developed regions, which is crucial for achieving the goals of the national strategy to reduce inequality and ensure stability. The results obtained can be used to adjust regional and innovation policies aimed at accelerating digital transformation and strengthening economic sustainability.

The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the role of the digital economy in overcoming economic difficulties and stimulating coordinated regional development in the People's Republic of China at the present stage. In the context of slowing overall economic growth, declining external demand, and technological dependence on developed countries, digital transformation is seen as a key factor in sustainable development.

Objectives: to identify internal and external problems hindering China's economic growth; to analyze the potential of the digital economy; to compare the effects of the digital economy in the eastern, central and western regions of the country.

Methodology. The research methodology is based on an empirical analysis of panel data for 31 provinces of China. A modified Cobb–Douglas production function was used, supplemented by the digital economy index, within the framework of the Fixed Effects model. The data was processed using the SPSS and STATA software packages, including stability tests.

The results showed a statistically significant positive correlation between the development of the digital economy and GDP growth.

Conclusions. The digital economy acts not only as a powerful driver of economic growth, but also as a tool to reduce inter-regional disparities. It demonstrates particularly high potential in less developed regions, where it promotes inclusive growth and the overcoming of infrastructural barriers. It is recommended to strengthen government support for digital infrastructure, develop human resources and create a supportive institutional environment to accelerate digital transformation.

Relevance. The development of the tourism industry in Russia is one of the priorities, while the unstable tourist flow due to the ongoing sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries and the ongoing special military operation requires the development of adaptive models of strategic profitability management of hotel enterprises. It is important to note the choice of the subject: the Kursk region is a border region of the Central Federal District, a counterterrorism operation is currently underway on its territory, and the hotel industry enterprises had to face a flood of internally displaced persons, and some of them became temporary accommodation centers, which undoubtedly affected their profitability.

The purpose is to evaluate the dynamics of profitability of Kursk hotel enterprises in the context of a changing macroeconomic environment, in order to adapt the development strategy.

Objectives: based on the analysis of available statistical data, to determine the dynamics of profitability of hotel enterprises in Kursk, to trace the impact of the transformation of the macroeconomic environment on the level of profitability, based on the data obtained, to determine promising areas of strategy for the development of hotel enterprises.

Methodology. Methods of quantitative analysis, methods of comparing economic phenomena and processes, and generalization of analyzed economic information are used.

Results. The growth in profitability of Kursk hotel enterprises of all star categories is confirmed by fairly convincing quantitative data, while the greatest increase in profitability is noted in organizations operating as a private company.

Conclusions. The success of adaptation is determined by the company's ability to quickly reorient itself to government procurement. The high volatility of profitability associated with dependence on short-term contracts and the risks of a sharp increase in transaction costs has been revealed. Strategic adaptation methods based on priority partnership with government agencies and managed diversification are proposed.

Relevance. Modern markets are characterized by a large number of business participants, which creates fierce competition. Without a clearly defined strategy and risk assessment, it is difficult for a startup to establish a stable market position, avoid mistakes, and quickly adapt to changes. Developing a startup strategy concept helps identify unique advantages and minimize threats from competitors and the external environment. The consumer market is constantly changing, and it is important for startups to promptly identify new trends and adapt their strategy. Risk analysis helps understand which changes may negatively impact the business and develop plans to minimize them. A strategy based on a systematic risk assessment enables the early identification of potential threats and the development of measures to eliminate or mitigate them, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful launch and development of startups. Therefore, developing a startup project strategy concept that takes into account the assessment of promotion risks is a relevant scientific and practical issue.

The purpose is develop a startup project strategy concept that takes into account the assessment of promotion risks.

Objectives: Identify and assess the risks of a specific startup project; Develop a strategy concept for the creation and promotion of this startup, as well as a content marketing strategy for the project, taking into account the phases of the life cycle, and detail it; and justify the importance and significance of the obtained results.

Methodology. The research methodology includes methods for analyzing startup risks, as well as approaches to developing a strategy concept for a startup project, taking into account the assessment of promotion risks.

Results: the risks of a specific startup project were identified and assessed; a strategy concept for the creation and promotion of this startup was developed, taking into account the assessment of the risks of creation and promotion of the startup project; a content marketing strategy for the project, taking into account the phases of the life cycle, was developed and detailed.

Conclusion. The importance and significance of the author's concept of a startup project strategy is substantiated, taking into account the risk assessment of its promotion.

Results. The theoretical approaches to clarifying the concept of "artificial intelligence" are summarized, which made it possible to formulate the author's view on the concept of "artificial intelligence diffusion". The stages of the methodology for introducing artificial intelligence technologies into the system of regional strategic planning of technological development of regions, the purpose, objectives of strategizing, and the main methods of artificial intelligence aimed at automating analytical processes are proposed. The stages of the roadmap for the regions of the Russian Federation are proposed, and a schedule for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into the strategic planning system for the technological development of the Kursk region is developed.

Conclusions. The author's proposed methodological basis for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies for strategic planning of the level of technological development of regions is a platform that can be used at the regional level in the implementation of national projects "Artificial Intelligence" and "Data Economics".

Relevance. The modern economic model is changing under the influence of technological progress and the development of the information environment, which practically duplicates the real sphere of society's life. New formats of communication, business, leisure and social life based on the Internet space are radically transforming the entire socio-economic infrastructure and generating new types of companies in the format of digital platforms and ecosystems. The features of the development of such business models exclusively in the online space are characterized by efficiency and attractiveness due to the seamless operation, mobility and dynamic feedback. The future development of such formats is based on the constant search for innovative solutions to promote new services.

The purpose is to identify the specifics of the development of platforms and assess their potential in the future information space.

Objectives. The following tasks were set and consistently solved in the article: to assess the scale and future prospects of the global platform economy; to analyze the impact of platforms on modern economic development, to consider the specifics of implementing the platform format of the business model in the realities of the Russian economy; to assess the technological capabilities and performance of Yandex as a leader in the platform segment of the economy.

Methodology. The scientific research was conducted using the following scientific search methods: a method for comparing empirical numerical data on the work of platforms; a method for classifying the main types of platform business models; a method for analyzing platform performance; a method for summarizing the identified features and signs of innovative development.

Results. The national platform economy is at the initial stage of its development and significantly lags behind the world leaders and technology companies. Nevertheless, the development of national technological solutions creates opportunities for the active development of this format, allows us to expand the scope of entrepreneurial activity of platforms in almost all sectors of the national economy.

Conclusions. The platform format of the national economy will continue to scale through the constant updating of tools and the active introduction of new innovative solutions.

Relevance. Digitalization of healthcare, especially in the segment of personalized medicine, is becoming the most important direction for modernizing the social sphere and ensuring the sustainable development of Russian regions. The rapid development of digital platforms, artificial intelligence systems and big data analysis technologies creates prerequisites for the transition to a model of medical care focused on the individual characteristics of the patient.

However, effective implementation of such solutions requires consistency between federal strategies and the management capabilities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which necessitates the identification and analysis of key factors influencing the success of digital transformation in healthcare

The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the drivers and barriers of digital transformation of personalized medicine at the regional level.

Objectives: to analyze the managerial, technological and institutional conditions of digitalization in the subjects of the Russian Federation; to classify the main barriers and drivers of digital transformation; to identify contradictions between the targets of digitalization and real regional practice.

Methodology. The research uses methods of institutional analysis, a structural and functional approach, a comparative analysis of regional cases, as well as a meaningful analysis of strategic and regulatory documents in the field of healthcare.

Results. The key drivers of digitalization are highlighted: government support, the development of digital technologies and AI, managerial leadership at the regional level, as well as the growing public demand for personalized medical care. Regulatory, personnel, infrastructural, and organizational constraints are among the barriers. Systemic contradictions between the tasks of digitalization and the capabilities of the current institutional environment have been established. A multilevel classification of influencing factors is proposed, taking into account the macro, meso, and micro levels of digital transformation management.

Conclusions. Effective implementation of personalized medicine in Russian regions is possible provided that regional specifics are taken into account, management structures develop digital maturity, and institutional and resource barriers are eliminated. The results of the study can be used to design adaptive digital healthcare strategies in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the regional development of investment infrastructure, which is one of the priorities of state economic policy, taking into account the challenges and opportunities of the digital economy and the implementation of major investment and infrastructure projects. In this regard, the study of the development of regional investment infrastructure in the context of ensuring economic security is of particular importance, since it allows us to identify systemic patterns and fundamental factors that determine the effectiveness of state economic policy.

Purpose. The main purpose of the study is to substantiate methodological approaches to assessing the investment infrastructure of the region in the context of ensuring economic security.

Objectives: to substantiate methodological approaches to the development of investment infrastructure; to quantify the development of investment infrastructure in the region; to develop and evaluate indicators for the development of investment infrastructure in the region.

Methodology. The following methods were used in the research: methods of structural, statistical and dynamic assessment of the studied processes, graphical and tabular interpretation of empirical and factual information.

Results. The practical significance of the research results lies in the development of methodological recommendations that can be used by public authorities in the formation, systematization and assessment of the investment infrastructure of the region in the context of ensuring economic security.

Conclusions. At the regional level, it is advisable to use the following indicators for monitoring the development of investment infrastructure: the structure and dynamics of gross regional product; industrial production index; investments in fixed assets; dynamics of advanced production technologies used; the share of investments aimed at reconstruction and modernization in total investments in fixed assets. The implementation of the investment block of the strategy for socioeconomic development of the Kursk region will require the diversification of the region's economy and the creation of a sustainable socio-economic model of the border region, which is able to attract investments and residents in special economic zones, industrial parks, as well as develop mechanisms to retain the attraction of human capital in the region.

Relevance. The intensification of the processes of economic differentiation of territories in the context of global turbulence actualizes the scientific discourse on the mechanisms of formation and overcoming of regional imbalances. The phenomenology of spatial inequality, determined by a complex of structural, institutional and market factors, acquires a special epistemological significance in the context of ensuring the sustainable development of the Russian economy. The imperfection of the existing methodological framework necessitates the development of new conceptual foundations for spatial and economic analysis.

The purpose of the study is to develop a conceptual framework and a theoretical framework for dynamic modeling of regional imbalances based on a multi-paradigm approach.

Objectives: conceptualization of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the analysis of territorial disparities; development of a multi-paradigm approach to the dynamic modeling of regional disparities; formation of a mathematical modeling apparatus reflecting the nonlinear dynamics of spatial inequality; empirical verification of the developed theoretical apparatus; formation of scientifically sound recommendations for the implementation of the results in the practice of regional management.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is constituted by the synthesis of spatial-temporal, systemicstructural and institutional-evolutionary approaches that form the basis of a multi-paradigm research platform. The theoretical framework includes tools for nonlinear dynamics, complex systems theory, and spatial econometrics.

Results. The conceptual foundations of dynamic modeling of regional imbalances based on the synthesis of spatial economics paradigms have been developed. A theoretical framework has been developed to identify the stochastic nature of the processes of territorial convergence and divergence in the Russian economy. The patterns of nonlinear interaction of endogenous and exogenous variables in the formation of spatial inequality are established. A multiparametric approach to predicting the dynamics of regional disparities under alternative scenarios for the implementation of the state spatial development policy is proposed.

Conclusions. The results of the study indicate the relevance of the developed conceptual framework for explaining the mechanisms of formation of regional disparities in modern conditions. The revealed patterns of spatial dynamics of economic development create theoretical prerequisites for improving the methodology for developing regional development programs. The proposed theoretical framework allows for a comprehensive assessment of various instruments of government influence on the spatial proportions of economic development in conditions of increasing complexity and uncertainty of economic processes.

Relevance. The process of digital transformation entails profound structural shifts in the economy, and in this regard, human capital is becoming a key strategic asset for the regions, which sets us the task of creating an integrated institutional system for its development and adaptation, which is of particular importance in the direction of sustainable development of the regions.

The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the relationship between institutional support for human capital development and the region's ability to adapt to digital transformation.

The objectives are to identify key issues and develop ways to improve the institutional support for human capital development in the Kursk region in the context of digital transformation.

Methodology. The research is based on a systematic approach that allows us to consider the region as an integrated system, where institutions, human capital and digital transformation processes are closely interconnected and mutually influenced. Additional methodological approaches are the institutional approach regulating the development of human capital and the resource approach, which considers human capital as a key strategic resource for regional development in the digital economy.

The results of the study showed the presence of disruptions in the work of regional structures, identified the main obstacles to digitalization and confirmed the urgent need to increase the effectiveness of interaction between government institutions, business and civil initiatives in the framework of forming a concept of cooperation between institutions for accelerated development of human capital, taking into account adaptation to modern requirements of the digital society. For a comprehensive assessment of the level of institutional support for human capital development in the region, a system of indicators has been proposed that includes three groups (basic, digital and institutional) to describe the state of the region's human capital and identify "gaps" and "growth points" in the context of digital transformation.

Conclusion. In the context of digital transformation, the directions of improving the institutional support for human capital development in the Kursk region have been developed.

Relevance. The construction industry is critically important for the economy, but its organizations are highly dependent on regional factors. Universal methods for assessing financial stability do not take into account the sharp differentiation of conditions in different macro-regions, which leads to incorrect results. This problem is especially relevant for the southern macroregion with its specific climate, seasonal demand and special investment structure.

The purpose is development of an improved methodology for assessing the financial stability of construction organizations in the southern macroregion, which increases diagnostic accuracy by introducing and accounting for a special territorial coefficient.

Objectives. To achieve this goal, the work sets the following set of interrelated tasks: to conduct a critical analysis of traditional methods; to identify key regional factors of influence; to develop a methodology for calculating the integral territorial coefficient for the South of Russia; to propose an algorithm for its integration into the system of assessment indicators.

Methodology. The research is based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, system approach, comparative and financial analysis. Statistical analysis of regional data, expert assessments, and multi-criteria weighting were used to generate the coefficient. The approbation was carried out on the basis of public reporting data from companies in the region.

Results. The methodology has been improved, the key element of which is the author's integral territorial coefficient, which quantifies the influence of regional conditions. The approbation has confirmed that its application makes it possible to identify hidden risks and reserves that are not fixed by standard methods, leading to more reasonable conclusions.

Conclusions. The methodology developed in the article is a specialized scientific and practical tool adapted to assess the financial stability of construction organizations in the southern macroregion. Its scientific novelty lies in the formalization of accounting for regional specifics. The practical significance lies in improving the accuracy of information for making managerial, investment and regulatory decisions, taking into account local conditions.

Relevance.The growth of poverty and socio-economic inequality remains one of the key threats to the sustainable development of the global economy. Global crises of the last decade ‒ the COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary shocks, and geopolitical instability ‒ have intensified social imbalances, exacerbating the problem of equitable resource distribution. Under these conditions, the relevance of searching for effective tools of state fiscal policy increases, enabling the simultaneous stimulation of economic growth and reduction of social inequality.

The purpose of the study is to identify the interlinkages between poverty, socio-economic inequality, and economic growth, as well as to determine directions for improving Russia's fiscal policy taking into account international experience.

Objectives. To achieve this purpose, the following tasks are addressed: analyzing the dynamics of poverty and inequality in countries with different levels of development, assessing the impact of tax-budget instruments on their reduction, and identifying institutional factors that determine the effectiveness of state financial policy.

Methodology.The empirical base of the study is formed on the basis of statistical data from the World Bank, OECD, WID, Rosstat, and the National Bureau of Statistics of China for 2016–2022. Methods of comparative analysis, regression modeling, correlation and graphical analysis, as well as visualization of results in the form of scatter plots and heat maps, were used.

Results. The research results confirm that redistributive mechanisms of fiscal policy have a significant impact on poverty reduction, but their effect on the level of socio-economic inequality depends on the structure of expenditures and the quality of economic institutions.

Conclusions. Based on the comprehensive interlinkages between poverty, inequality, and economic growth, taking into account international experience and the national specifics of Russia, it is recommended to enhance the efficiency and targeting of social payments, develop progressive elements of the tax system to overcome excessive asset inequality, and expand investments in human capital.

Relevance. The improvement of forecasting and planning technologies, the development of proactive human resource management are a strategic necessity for competitive developing organizations. The shortage of human resources, high competition in attracting talent, and the growing expectations of employees for working conditions and career growth require successful employers to have an objective scenario vision of the future development of the organization and staff. The transformation of the HR function from an operational role to a strategic business partnership defines the transition from reactive problem solving to forecasting future skill needs, predicting and preventing turnover, optimizing headcount planning, increasing engagement, and other promising staff characteristics.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the directions of improving forecasting and planning technologies in proactive human resource management in the modern labor market.

Objectives: to study the development trends of the modern national and regional labor market; to analyze reactive and proactive approaches to personnel management in a labor-deficient market environment; to reveal the differences between forecasting and planning tasks in the management process; to determine the directions of application and development of predictive HR analytics in proactive human resource management of the organization.

Methodology. The research was conducted on the basis of general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach and comparative analysis, methods of statistical analysis, forecasting and planning, etc.

Results. The problematic situations of the formation of the labor shortage conjuncture of the modern national and regional labor market are diagnosed, in accordance with the diagnostic results, the advantages of proactive personnel management are revealed. The directions of development of predictive and prescriptive HR analytics as a basis for improving forecasting and planning technologies are considered.

Conclusions. In the context of the labor-deficient conditions of the modern labor market, the main focus of improving forecasting and planning technologies in proactive management is the priority development of predictive and prescriptive HR analytics for systematic and comprehensive forecasting of the prospects for the development of an organization's human resources.

Relevance. Non-stationary forms of employment are flexible types of employment that differ from traditional permanent jobs in that they do not have strict time limits, a stable schedule, or a guaranteed income. The relevance of studying these forms is due to several factors: the digital trends in the labor market, where employers prefer flexibility and mobility in their employees, and employees seek to maintain a balance between work and personal life; economic growth, which involves creating new jobs and stimulating innovation; and demographic changes and an aging population.

The purpose is to analyze current trends in non-standard forms of employment, which have also become established after the restrictive measures related to the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection.

Objectives publications aim to study current forms of non-standard employment, reveal their specifics, and spread them.

Methodology. The theoretical framework of this work was based on specialized scientific and practical journals and articles in periodicals. During the analysis of the literature on the relevant issues, the author referred to the traditional general methodological principles of objectivity, scientific analysis, generalization, and scientific abstraction.

Results. This article presents the results of a study of the labor market for the most popular types of nonstandard employment from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to the present day.

Conclusions. The authors summarize the beginning of global changes, the reformation of the economy as a whole and the labor market in particular. However, the pace of restructuring of socio-economic relations is so rapid that it outpaces the legislative regulation and reformation of the labor activities of the participants in these innovations in order to ensure the social security of citizens and reduce social tensions in society.

Relevance. Physical culture and sports are important components of modern human life, without which it is impossible to achieve health. Currently, a lot of attention is being paid to issues related to the involvement of the population in sports events. However, the solution to existing problems is possible only if the opinions of citizens themselves and their ideas about the quality of services provided in this area are taken into account. Also, the formation of an active lifestyle of the population is an important task of the municipal government.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the satisfaction of the population of Kursk with the quality of services provided in the field of physical culture and sports and to understand the role of the social mechanism in solving existing problems.

Objectives: to study existing scientific developments in the field of population involvement in physical education and sports, on the impact of sports on value orientations; to study the attitude of the population to the sports infrastructure available in the city of Kursk; to propose a social mechanism aimed at regulating interaction with the population in order to form sports-oriented behavior.

The methodology included: firstly, the analysis and scientific interpretation of existing approaches to the problem of population involvement in physical culture and sports activities; secondly, the organization and conduct of a sociological study by online survey among the population of the city of Kursk (N=900).

Results. Based on the theoretical generalization of the approaches available in the scientific literature to the problem of involving the population in measures to promote a healthy lifestyle, the necessity of improving municipal policy in the field of physical culture and sports is substantiated. The level of satisfaction of the population with the quality of physical culture and sports services provided in the city of Kursk has been determined, and it has been revealed that, in the opinion of the population, the city is characterized by a number of infrastructural physical culture and sports deficits.

Conclusions. The necessity of developing a social mechanism for ensuring interaction in the "populationgovernment-business-NGO" system, which can be implemented based on the technology of interdepartmental interaction and the principle of a subject-subject approach, is substantiated.

Relevance. The development of cooperation in modern conditions is one of the factors of economic growth, countering the pressure of anti-Russian sanctions, ensuring the country's food security, creating new jobs, and activating entrepreneurial initiatives of citizens.

The purpose is to analyze the attitudes of Volga region residents in organizing/joining consumer cooperatives.

Objectives: assessment of the factors of motivation of the population to organize / join consumer cooperatives, analysis of readiness to join cooperative associations, study of the most popular forms of support for cooperative initiatives in the regional context.

Methodology. The main research method is a questionnaire survey of residents of the Volga Federal District (N = 1,320 respondents). The sample was formed taking into account such features of representation as the type of settlement (city, village), gender and age of the respondents.

Results. The attitudes of the Volga region residents regarding the organization / joining of consumer cooperatives are generally characterized by a positive tone. So, 16.4% of respondents would like to organize or become a member of a consumer cooperative themselves, another quarter of the surveyed residents chose the answer option "rather yes than no" (26.0%). The highest level of interest in cooperation is typical for residents of the Republic of Mari El. Most respondents generally consider their level of knowledge necessary to work in cooperation to be sufficient. The study revealed the interest of potential cooperators in participating in institutional associations (in particular, joining the Union of Consumer Societies).

Conclusions. The motives of Volga region residents to join cooperatives can be systematized in the following areas: status-social ("to start your own business"), financial ("to find a new source of income"), communication ("association with like-minded people") and social ("to provide people with high-quality goods"). The most popular form of cooperation support is organizational and economic assistance related to solving problems of logistics, marketing, access to warehouses, and areas for the sale of goods.

Relevance. In modern society, where the number of children suffering from diseases related to insufficient physical activity is increasing every year, the relevance of studying the factors of demand for physical education and sports services for children is growing. It is important to understand which services are of interest to children and their parents, and what factors influence the choice of sports activities and sports organizations. In a regional context, studying the topic is an important step towards increasing children's physical activity and, consequently, improving their overall well-being.

The purpose is to identify the specifics of the factors influencing the demand for physical education, recreation and sports services for children in Kursk.

Objectives: to analyze the concept of physical education and recreation and sports services; to analyze the demand for physical education and recreation and sports services for children; to identify the main factors influencing the development of the market of physical education and recreation services; to study the preferences of parents when choosing physical education and recreation services and sports organizations for their children.

Methodology. The article uses basic general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization), as well as special sociological methods (correlation analysis, analysis of variance). The empirical basis of the study was the data of a sociological survey in the questionnaire format among parents of minor children (n=380) living in Kursk.

Results. The categories of physical education and recreation and sports services are analyzed; the features of physical education and recreation services in general and the characteristic features of childhood that determine the specifics of the provision of these services are highlighted. Based on our own empirical research, the criteria for choosing physical education and wellness services and their main demand factors have been laid out.

Conclusions. The main factors in demand for physical education and sports services for children are non-price (psychological and physiological health of the child, his desires and hobbies, safety in the classroom, qualifications of coaches). The price factor is important for parents, but to a somewhat lesser extent.

Relevance. The development of nuclear energy in Russia is associated with high technological risks, requiring not only technical but also socio-legal solutions. In the context of growing public concern about safety, transparency, and intergenerational responsibility, the legal regulation of the industry needs to be fundamentally rethought, considering ethical and social aspects. Contemporary challenges require the integration of social assessment approaches into legal practice.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of legal regulation of the nuclear industry in Russia from the perspective of ethics and social assessment of technology and technologies.

Objective. To achieve the objective, the following tasks were addressed: an analysis of the existing regulatory framework and international obligations of the Russian Federation was conducted, the level of public participation and information transparency in the industry was assessed, the impact of radiation and media fears on risk perception was studied, and gaps in the nuclear risk management system were identified.

Methodology. The following were used: content analysis of legal acts, comparative legal method, analysis of sociological data, case studies of court cases, and graphical analysis of the location of nuclear power plants. The sources were official reports, international documents, data from the Levada Center, VTsIOM, Roshydromet, and the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for 2023–2025.

Results. Systemic problems were identified: low public confidence in the nuclear industry as a whole, lack of public oversight, insufficient transparency, formalistic public hearings, and failure to implement international recommendations. Most nuclear power plants are located in close proximity to large population centers (less than 50 km), which increases potential risks. The analysis confirmed that radiation fear is a social construct reinforced by secrecy and a lack of dialogue.

Conclusions. To increase the legitimacy and safety of nuclear energy, legislation needs to be modernized to include the right to information, mandatory public hearings, the creation of independent public councils, and corporate social responsibility standards. Only such an approach will ensure the sustainable development of the industry in the interests of society.

Relevance. The article explores the cognitive practices of the precariat in the context of post-truth and digital transformation of society. The relevance of this study lies in the need for a philosophical understanding of how social vulnerability, unstable employment, and neoliberal discourses shape new ways of producing and legitimizing knowledge. In the situation of a crisis of trust in traditional institutions, truth acquires the form of temporary consensus, established within network communities and digital modes of communication.

The purpose of the study is to identify the epistemological features of the precariat’s cognitive practices and their relation to processes of social and cultural transformation.

Objectives. The research objectives include: analyzing the influence of social vulnerability and employment instability on the formation of cognitive strategies; examining the role of the digital environment and network communities in knowledge verification; defining the philosophical grounds for the shift from universalist models of truth to multiple and situational forms of its recognition.

Methodology. The study relies on an interdisciplinary approach, combining social philosophy, cognitive sociology, and epistemology. The theoretical framework includes M. Foucault’s concept of "regimes of truth", the works of V.A. Toshchenko and G. Standing, as well as contemporary research on post-truth philosophy and digital communication.

Results. It is shown that the cognitive practices of the precariat are fragmented and situational, based on horizontal forms of collective verification. Truth is understood as a process established through social trust and consensus within micro-communities. Fact-checking and critical thinking are not optional skills but necessary strategies of survival in conditions of informational instability.

Conclusions. The cognitive practices of the precariat represent a specific form of epistemological adaptation that undermines universalist models of truth and opens the space for multiple, flexible, and socially conditioned forms of knowledge.

Relevance. Social memory plays an important role in the life of a society. Selecting information about past events and transforming for the purpose of preserving accumulated social experience and passing it down through generations, social memory doesn’t only influence the state of a modern society but, also acting as a link between the past, present and future, it is an important factor in the process of social development and it consolidates society, serves as the foundation for its social identity formation. To understand the phenomenon of social memory and its powerful influence on the formation of social consciousness and the maintenance of social identity, it is necessary to go back to the origins to Antiquity, when the philosophical foundations for its study were laid.

The purpose is to identify various approaches to understanding the nature of social memory in the works of philosophers of Ancient Greece.

Objectives: to reveal the features of social memory concepts of the greatest Greek thinkers Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, to highlight methods and mechanisms of preserving social memory in Ancient Greek society.

Methodology. The study was conducted using methods such as hermeneutics, phenomenology, comparative analysis, and system analysis.

Results. Within the scope of this article the works of three prominent ancient philosophers Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus have been examined, in which the thinkers explored the phenomenon of memory that allowed to form the understanding of the development trends of ideas about memory in Ancient Greek society. The peculiarities of understanding the nature of memory, factors influencing its functioning have been identified, mechanisms of its fixation in public consciousness have been determined. Going back to the origins of the research of understanding and preserving social memory problem has emphasised the importance of documenting major events in people’s collective consciousness as the future is impossible without understanding the past, including its positive and negative aspects.

Conclusions. The philosophical basis for studying social memory was laid in ancient times. In this period the phenomenon of memory was considered at the level of human consciousness in the context of the problem of the cognition of the world and memory itself was just a condition of the process of cognition. Memory was seen as a container for information, the content of memory was linked to the past and memory itself is an acquired trait that develops over time.

Relevance. Digital solutions and technologies act as a driver of regional economic development and determine the competitiveness of the regional economic system in modern conditions. The issue of assessing the digital potential of the region, which generally determines the potential for economic development in modern realities, is relevant.

The purpose of the study is determined by the need to assess the main trends in the development of digital processes in the economic sphere of the region based on the formation of a system of indicators.

Objectives: to determine a system of statistical indicators to assess the digital potential of the region; to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the main indicators that determine the potential of regional economic development in the context of digital transformation; to identify leading regions and outsider regions in terms of the level of digital transformation.

Methodology. To achieve the goal of the study, the methods of a systems approach and economic analysis, synthesis methods, as well as a summary, grouping, and comparative analysis were used.

Results. The article systematizes the indicators reflecting the processes of digital transformation in the region, which are part of regional economic development. The main trends in the change in the considered indicators are substantiated.

Conclusions. The key factors in regional economic development in modern conditions are digital transformations covering all segments of the economy. In this regard, an important task remains the formation of a system of indicators reflecting the digital potential of the regional economic system. Evaluation and monitoring of these indicators will allow making management decisions aimed at digital transformations in the system of regional economic development. The conducted assessment of indicators reflecting digital transformation processes allowed us to conclude that this process is intensively developing in all federal districts. However, the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation retains its leading positions.

Relevance. Border regions play an important role in shaping the foreign economic activity of the state. Assessing their contribution to the country's economy allows us to determine the effectiveness of economic ties and identify areas and opportunities for further economic growth and development both for the regions themselves and for the state as a whole. In this regard, the problem of studying methodological approaches to assessing the contribution of border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country is an important and relevant area of research.

The purpose is to study methodological approaches to assessing the contribution of border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country.

Objectives: to study existing methodological approaches to assessing the contribution of border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country; to generalize and visualize them; to substantiate the author's methodology for assessing the contribution of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country; to identify and describe its scientific novelty.

Methodology. The research methodology involves the use of methods of comparative descriptive analysis, graphical processing and presentation of research results.

Results: the existing methodological approaches to assessing the contribution of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country were studied and described; they were summarized and visualized; the author's methodology for assessing the contribution of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country was substantiated.

Conclusions. The studied, described and summarized existing methodological approaches to assessing the contribution of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country made it possible to develop the author's methodology for assessing the contribution of the border regions of the Russian Federation to the economic development of the country, which is flexible and easily adapts to new realities, be it changes in legislation, political events and other conditions. It is able to quickly respond to emerging external and internal challenges of the external environment. The obtained assessment results and conclusions are of direct practical importance for government bodies at all levels.
