The Content

Introduction. The subject of the study is the coordinating function of philosophy. The problem of coordination, according to the author, arises when the contradiction between the knowledge that a person receives from positive sciences, religious beliefs and general information acquired through everyday experience becomes obvious. Each of these sources is attractive
in its own way, but the beliefs and knowledge contained in one of them are such that their acceptance implies a refusal to accept other sources. There is a picture of the world that contains conflicting fragments, without which it is impossible to achieve optimal living comfort. Philosophy can solve the problem of eliminating this contradiction if it returns to its purpose, which follows from its etymology. Wisdom, as a manifestation of a philosophical attitude towards the world, consists in finding the common, without detracting from the special. This common good is. Philosophy, in its coordinating function, is seen as an extension of common sense. The author finds a similar understanding of the tasks of philosophy in the concepts of transversal reason and indirect causality.

Methods. Historical and philosophical reconstruction of views on the purpose and functions of philosophy, hermeneutic analysis of the concepts of «wisdom», «common sense», «coordination», the use of methodological possibilities of the concept of transversal rationality and indirect causality.

Analysis. The reasons for the emergence of philosophy and its sustainable existence throughout the subsequent stage of human history are considered in the perspective of its functions. Since historically the first form of philosophy was natural philosophy, which is essentially physics, its main task was to gain knowledge about the structure of the material world. Philosophy itself begins with Socrates, who established as its main subject the relationship between man and the world, the achievement of proportionality between them. In the subsequent history of philosophy, this purpose of philosophy faded into the background, giving way to ideological, methodological and critical functions.

Results. The author comes to the conclusion that the priority task of philosophy in modern conditions is the coordination of knowledge about the world formed by various cognitive practices. Its solution involves shifting the priorities of philosophy from critical and methodological to integrative, which is more consistent with the purpose of philosophy, resulting from the etymology of the word. The article shows that philosophy as an instance of wisdom is a continuation and expansion of common sense as the wisdom of ordinary people, based on their natural sensory and cognitive abilities. The revival of interest in the philosophy of common sense, as evidenced by the growth of publications in foreign and domestic social studies, is dictated, according to the author, among other things, by the ability of common sense to find the optimal solution to the problem of organizing people's lives together in a situation of social and cultural pluralism.

Keywords: philosophy, functions of philosophy, wisdom, common sense, coordination, transversal rationality, indirect causality.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of current issues of the existence of the Russian Federation, the “Russian World” as a multinational and multi-confessional statecivilization with a new, emerging common cultural identity. The authors position Russia as a unique substance that opposes the global and geopolitical expansion of the European Union and the collective West, having its own cultural code and a high messianic destiny, as a real subject of global politics
and international law. Methods. The work uses a systematic approach, the dialectical method, and the synergistic paradigm. In the context of the «elusive modernity,» uncertainty, and nonlinearity of global and social dynamics, the use of a multiparadigm methodology has revealed the status of Russian civilization and the «Russian World» as a unified, holistic, and unique phenomenon of theory and practice that truly positions itself in the world and across the vast Eurasian space.

Research methods. The work uses a systematic approach, the dialectical method, and the synergetic paradigm. In the context of the «elusive modernity,» uncertainty, and nonlinearity of global and social dynamics, the use of a multiparadigm methodology has allowed us to identify the status of Russian civilization and the «Russian world» as a unified, holistic, and unique phenomenon of theory and practice that truly positions itself in the world and across the vast Eurasian space. The application of the synergetic approach has made it possible to reveal the turbulence of global and geopolitical dynamics, the complexity and heterogeneity, the contradictions and tensions of the processes taking place on the way to the formation of a new national and socio-cultural identity of Russia.

Analysis. The Russian Federation is considered as a unique country with its own history and traditions, and the essence and fundamental difference of the concept of the «Russian world» with its high cultural principles and traditional moral values from the Western traditions of liberalism and neoliberalism is revealed. As is known, the issues of the existence of the Russian world have been presented since the 11th century in chronicles, stories, hagiographies, and other literary works and historical monuments. These include, among others, the Tale of Bygone Years by the chronicler Nestor, Vladimir Monomakh's Sermon, The Tale of the Destruction of the Russian Land, Zadonshchina, and Filofei's messianic idea of «Moscow as the Third Rome.» Within the framework ofhistorical and socio-political studies, the 19th century of Russian history becomes particularly relevant, followed by the early 20th century and the Soviet era, where intense discussions and debates unfolded in philosophical, cultural, and literary-artistic thought. They were particularly fierce in open areas and social events. Within the framework of historical and socio-political issues, the nineteenth century of Russian history becomes the most relevant, followed by the beginning of the twentieth century and the Soviet era, when fierce discussions and disputes unfold in philosophical, cultural, literary and artistic thought. They were conducted with particular ferocity in open spaces, secular salons, on the pages of magazines and newspapers. The confrontations between Slavophiles and Westernizers, statesmen and revolutionary Democrats, conservatives and Socialists, and then between Mensheviks and Bolsheviks became more acute. All of them fundamentally disagreed, put forward opposite, and often irreconcilable ideas and concepts related to Russia's present and future. In particular, the activities and works of P. A. Chaadaev, A. S. Khomyakov, T. N. Granovsky, V. G. Belinsky, N. Ya. Danilevsky, A. I. Herzen, V. S. Solovyov, G. V. Plekhanov, V. I. Lenin, N. A. Berdyaev, and I. A. Ilyin should be noted.
They actively and harshly, both personally and in their writings, polemicized with each other, emphasizing the commonalities or peculiarities of the historical, political, economic, cultural, and spiritual development of Russia and the countries of Western Europe. However, many representatives of the Russian intelligentsia, despite their harsh criticism of tsarism, defended the autocracy as a stronghold of statehood and the existing serfdom system, while others, as supporters of social revolution, demanded radical changes and a complete transformation of the state and social order. Considering Russia's role and place in European civilization and the world, and defining its present and future, the Russian intelligentsia had different attitudes towards the planetary mission and messianic character of the Russian people, understanding and accepting the «national spirit» and the specifics of the «Russian world» in their own way. Despite the irreconcilable nature of their ideas and positions, they all emphasized the importance of preserving and strengthening the substantive and ontological foundations of the Russian world.

Conclusion. The article argues that the polarity of approaches, the irreconcilability of ideas and personal positions, have never diminished the love for Russia and the patriotism of the Russian intelligentsia. Supporters of all directions recognized the messianic character of the Russian people. 200 years have passed, but today, the global mission of the Russian Federation is still relevant: to fight for equality and justice in the modern world, to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of not only its own country, but also to help other states ensure their independence, preserve their historical memory, and uphold their cultural and moral values. These include life and freedom, equality and justice, honor and dignity, patriotism and citizenship, collectivism and conciliarity, humanism and creative work, and the unity and friendship of nations. For the present and future of the Russian Federation, for every citizen of the country and every Russian-speaking resident of the
planet, preserving the «Russian world» as a symbol of national identity is an important component.

Keywords: The Russian Federation, multipolarity, the Russian world, the Eurasian space, cultural and civilizational identity, patriotism, and justice.

Introduction. The article substantiates the relevance of using AI tools, specifically ChatGPT and DeepSeek, in generating alternative images of the future of small towns in Russia. It has been revealed that the advantages of artificial intelligence are the rapid creation of various future options while taking into account the limitations of a particular territory. In this case, large
language models serve as a tool for expanding the set of possible solutions, while the final choice and implementation of solutions remain with experts and the local community.

Research methods. The research methodology is synthetic, due to the intersection of issues of political science, sociology and computer science in the topic. The actor-network theory is used as a basis, which makes it possible to consider large language models of artificial intelligence as one of the actors in the development of alternative solutions. The authors of the article share the point of view about the geospatial and social value of small towns.

Analysis. The technological and territorial imbalance in Russia is manifested in the access and use of «smart» technologies in urban governance. Small towns, despite having the potential to use digital technologies and the ability to implement new solutions from scratch, remain significantly less involved in the processes of digital transformation of urban infrastructure, unlike large megacities with the necessary financial and technological resources. In socio-political research, the role of a small town in Russia is analyzed in the context of economic inefficiency, therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of strategies for the development of small towns, the authors propose the use of AI tools as tools for shaping strategies for the development of small towns. During the analysis of strategies generated based not on specialized software, but on a basic user request to the large ChatGPT and DeepSeek language models, the authors came up with unique development plans for different cities: «Agro-cluster and premium products – export Uryupinsk»; «Cultural and tourist territory of little Russia»; «Light industry and craft hub», and DeepSeek's model: «Capital of the Russian province»; «Green Hopper»; «Southern Transit».

Conclusion. It is concluded that both language models (ChatGPT and DeepSeek) reproduce sustainable strategic archetypes of small-town development.: 1) emphasis on processing and economic «anchor»; 2) on image and cultural capital. At this stage, the use of language models is presented as a tool for generating alternative images of the future of small towns, but not an algorithm for developing ready-made strategies. The most effective is a step-by-step approach, in which several possible development scenarios are first formed with the help of BAM, then they undergo expert verification, after which the selected ideas can be used as a basis for the development of real projects.

Keywords: image of the future, small towns, spatial development, public administration, artificial intelligence in politics.

Introduction. The article examines migration as a factor in the system of bilateral Russian-Kazakh relations. The relevance of the study is determined by the persistent nature of migration flows between the two states and their impact on labour markets, demographic processes, and the development of interstate cooperation.

Methods. The methodological framework includes comparative legal analysis, statistical and dynamic analysis, a systems approach, institutional analysis, and content analysis of legal and strategic documents. The concept of push–pull factors is used to interpret migration dynamics. The information base consists of official statistical data, materials from international organizations, legal acts, and sociological research.

Analysis. The study analyses the migration policies of Russia and Kazakhstan and identifies differences in their strategic priorities. It is shown that Kazakhstan focuses on attracting human capital and developing digital mobility, whereas Russia places greater emphasis on security issues and migration control. The dynamics of migration flows are examined, including the growth of Kazakhstan’s positive migration balance in 2023–2024 and changes in the structure of migration movements.

Results. It is established that Kazakhstan’s migration system is transforming from a donor of human resources into a net recipient of migration. The study reveals the continuing institutional interdependence between Russia and Kazakhstan alongside diverging migration strategies. The findings substantiate the need to adapt bilateral migration governance mechanisms and to strengthen coordination within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Keywords: migration processes, migration policy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), labour migration, educational migration, cooperation.

Introduction. The article explores the application of the subjective rationality model to the analysis of GR technologies in the regional political process. It examines the heuristic mechanisms of decision-making, the manifestations of cargo cult in regional GR practice, and the prospects for transition to reflexive models. The empirical base is the experience of the regions
of the Siberian Federal District (SFD).

Research methods. The methodology includes the use of the concepts of subjective rationality, the theory of limited rationality by G. Simon, the cognitive theory of decision-making, and case analysis methods.

Discussion. GR-technologies (technologies for building relationships with public authorities) occupy a key place in the political development of non-governmental entities – businesses and NGOs, helping to build a dialogue with the government and coordinate interests in the formation of a political course. However, their application is faced with heuristic distortions related to the context of setting goals and developing means of building long-term relations with government bodies, namely: objective incompleteness of data, subjective and temporal limitations, and the choice of “satisfactory” rather than optimal solutions. This leads to the reproduction of imitative practices («cargo-cult») – the copying of successful strategies without understanding their essence or the possibilities of adaptation. In the Siberian regions, the situation is specified by the specific conditions of political activity: large territories, climatic contrasts, uneven development, and ethnic diversity. The observed result of the simultaneous implementation of these factors is the emergence of political extremes, the study of which helps to overcome crisis periods in
the development of society.

Conclusion. The model of subjective rationality allows us to explain the prevalence of heuristic and imitative practices in GR. In the regions of the Siberian Federal District, the «cargocult » in GR manifests itself in the copying of external forms without considering the context. However, examples of reflexive models demonstrate that the transition to conscious and analytical
interaction is possible and yields tangible results. The prospects for the development of GR in Siberia are associated with overcoming cognitive limitations, considering the context of decisionmaking, and creating platforms for collaborative strategy modeling.

Keywords: regional political process, subjective rationality, heuristics, GR-technologies, cargo-cult, reflexive management, Siberian Federal District.

Introduction. This article examines the process of social adaptation as a significant aspect of rural-to-urban educational migration among young people. In the context of ongoing urbanization, young people from rural areas flock to the city to obtain an education, as well as in the hopes of «settling down» and continuing their urban lifestyle. However, they face a number of difficulties adapting to their new environment and develop strategies to overcome them, which are described in the empirical study.

Methods. The study is based on a sociocultural approach, as outlined in the concepts of social adaptation by E. Durkheim, M. Weber, T. Parsons, and R. Merton. The empirical basis consists of data from an online survey (n=300) and two focus groups (n=20) conducted with students from Volgograd universities in April 2026.

Main Section. An analysis of the main adaptation challenges faced by rural students revealed problems with orientation in the city, adapting to public transportation, and frustration associated with separation from parents. A key factor in successful socialization is developing a network of friends and being proactive in communication. Students from rural areas demonstrate a high level of motivation to integrate into the urban environment.

Conclusion. Educational migration is a significant source of young people entering the urban population. The majority of respondents plan to remain in Volgograd after completing their studies. Therefore, comprehensive support for the adaptation of rural students to the urban environment is essential.

Keywords: educational migration, social adaptation, rural youth, urbanization, integration.

The Introduction reveals the relevance of this work, which lies in the assertion of three theses, each of which can be considered as a potential solution to one of the problems forming the framework of the modern scientific paradigm in its specificity. It also formulates the first thesis submitted for discussion: if evolutionism is viewed as a distinctive feature of the modern research paradigm, then artificial intelligence can be presented as a separate stage of global evolution.

The main body of the work defines artificial intelligence as a Turing machine passing the Turing test, all operations of which can be reduced to the operation of doubling as the sole simplest primitive recursive function – such is the second thesis. Furthermore, the digitalization of public authority is interpreted as a strategic development direction in the political, economic, social, and cultural areas of state-building. The normative and axiological aspects of integrating information systems and artificial intelligence into the activities of state and municipal government bodies are interpreted through the prism of a logical-epistemological approach. Historically, the first formal systems appear as an incubator for the study and development of information systems, while formal methods serve as their syntactic and semantic logistics. The third thesis of this work is that natural language can be viewed as a multilevel formal linguistic system possessing the properties of completeness and consistency. Within this system, the problem of decidability of meaningful expressions – statements of the information system – is resolved positively, thereby ensuring the functions of coordination and control by the participants in public-authority relations.

Methodology. A descriptive method is used to review key works. The axiomatic method is applied when formulating the theses, since the propositions regarding the properties and relations of objects in the subject area under consideration are assumed to be known to the readers of a specialized scientific journal and have the nature of explicit definitions, while the statements composed of them represent theses for discussion rather than theorems along with their proofs. The hypotheticodeductive
method is used to examine the possible consequences of the asserted theses.

Keywords: information systems, formal methods, language models, state and municipal management.

Introduction. The country's technological sovereignty is an indicator of its competitiveness and sustainability in a world-class cyber-physical environment and proves its leadership in difficult geopolitical conditions. At the same time, cybersecurity of the information infrastructure, in which iterations and communications between economic entities take place, is an integral sign of trust. In this regard, it is necessary not only to look for solutions to maintain the stability of the digital environment, but also to competently manage it.

Methods. In the course of this study, content analysis methods were applied to study the current situation in the field of cybersecurity and statistics of the modern threat landscape; methods of generalization and systematization to form a common vision of the problem and its search for solutions; comparative and graphical analysis techniques to visualize and evaluate the dynamics of current trends. The sources of information were statistical reports of analytical departments and the
works of modern authors.

Analysis. The assessment of the information security market in Russia at the end of 2025 showed that over the past 5 years the market has been formed and represented mainly by Russian information security tools. Moreover, flagships have been identified on the market, which practically provides the entire range of infrastructure protection services and can supply services to foreign
countries. At this stage of its development, the market is experiencing pressure, but nevertheless solves the issues of cybersecurity of domestic enterprises, as well as critical information infrastructure. Technological breakthroughs (quantum revolution, artificial intelligence) are new trends, but these achievements are advisable to use in the data protection system.

Conclusions. The article highlights the main trends in the digitalization of enterprises in conditions of cyber pressure and the constant growth of threats from unfriendly countries. A review of the state of the data protection system in the information environment was carried out, the main risk factors and the capabilities of domestic developers were identified. An analysis of the Russian information security market was carried out in the light of the development of new directions and the desire for technological leadership of countries.

Keywords: data, enterprise, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, resilience, cyber-physical environment, risk.

Introduction. The introduction discusses the relevance of studying import substitution in Russia as a tool for mitigating geopolitical risks and a driver of economic growth. It also formulates the objective of the study, which is to assess the role of innovation and investment in addressing the issue of increasing import substitution in the Russian Federation.

Methods. To achieve this objective, general scientific and specialized methods were used, including correlation and regression analysis.

Analysis. The article presents the results of an analysis of the Russian economy's dependence on imports and the relationship between the volume of innovative product production, on the one hand, and the volume of expenditures on research and development and capital investment in primary production, on the other. Three forecast options for the output of innovative products are developed depending on the volume of R&D expenditures and the volume of investment in fixed assets.

Results. Based on the conducted research, key areas for improving the effectiveness of state regulation of import substitution through the development of innovative product production that has no domestic analogues are identified.

Keywords: import substitution, economic growth, development factors, government regulation of the economy.

Introduction. The labor market in Russia's megacities exists under conditions of numerous sanctions, accelerated digitalization, and structural transformation of industry markets, leading to key indicators of employment and unemployment volatility. Traditional econometric forecasting methods, based on the assumption of linearity and stationarity of time series, have limited predictive accuracy in turbulent conditions, necessitating the development of adaptive neural network tools that address regional specificities. The aim of this study is to develop, test, and comparatively evaluate neural network models, forecast employment and unemployment indicators in Russia's megacities, including hybrid structures combining recurrent neural networks with attention mechanisms, and formulate management recommendations for their implementation in regional labor market management systems.

Data and Methods. An empirical basis for discussing quarterly data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) and the Unified Interdepartmental Statistical Information System (EMISS) for 15 of the largest Russian cities for the period 2010–2025 is presented. The methodological framework includes multilayer perceptrons (MLP), a long short-term memory network (LSTM), a hybrid ARIMA–ANN model, and the proprietary LSTM-Attention architecture with a self-attention mechanism. The RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R² metrics are used to verify the results.

Analysis. A cluster analysis of the cities based on structural characteristics of the labor market was conducted. Neural network models demonstrated superiority over conservative approaches: the hybrid LSTM-Attention model reduced the average absolute error in unemployment rate forecasting by 34.7 % compared to ARIMA and by 18.2 % compared to the standard LSTM. A stable three-cluster structure of Russian megacities based on labor market dynamics was identified: diversified complex centers (Moscow, St. Petersburg), industrial and resource-based megacities, and cities with a predominantly service economy. Neural network models were most effective in forecasting during periods of crisis (2020–2022), when the forecast deviation from current indicators did not exceed 0.3 percentage points.

Results. The results of the study substantiate the leadership of neural network models in the Diptych system and forecasting regional labor markets. The practical significance lies in the development of a modular forecasting structure adaptable to the specifics of various types of megacities and ensuring public administration in the event of sudden policy changes and the programming of socio-economic development under multiple restrictions.

Keywords: Labor market, unemployment, megacity, regional economy; neural network models, LSTM, forecasting, artificial intelligence, sustainable development, sanctions restrictions.

Introduction. The knowledge economy determines a firm’s interest in increasing its own intellectual capital, one of the areas of which is improving the firm’s absorptive capacity.

Methods. The aim of the article is to develop diagnostic tools for assessing a firm’s absorptive capacity based on the matrix analysis method.

Analysis. The article proposes to examine a firm’s absorptive capacity based on nine parameters corresponding to its four components (acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and use): proactivity, speed of knowledge capture, breadth of source coverage, scale of dissemination, knowledge diffusion, generative capacity, speed of process adaptation, depth of knowledge absorption, and commercialization of knowledge.

Results. For diagnostic purposes, it is proposed to compile checklists for each parameter, as well as to develop matrices based on pairwise comparison of parameters. As an illustration of the approach, checklists and the “Depth of Penetration – Speed of Capture” matrix are proposed, and a brief description is given of the four resulting matrix quadrants: “quiet harbor”, “ripples on the water”, “sleeping volcano”, “whirlpool”. A list of management tools to improve the firm’s absorptive capacity is proposed.

Keywords: knowledge management, absorptive capacity, dynamic capabilities, core competencies, intellectual capital, knowledge assets, knowledge economy.

Introduction. The article examines the digitalization of claims settlement as an independent area of transformation of the Russian insurance market.

Methods. Based on Russian regulation, electronic OSAGO claims settlement practices and comparison with international approaches.

Analysis. It is shown that transferring interaction with policyholders into a digital environment changes not only the customer journey, but also the economics of an insurance company: operating costs, speed of payments, quality of reserving, fraud level, litigation burden and consumer confidence.

Conclusion. The article identifies the key effects, risks and development priorities of digital claims settlement.

Keywords: insurance market, claims settlement, digitalization, OSAGO, insurance payments, artificial intelligence, antifraud, economic efficiency, cyber risks.

The article presents a comparative constitutional and legal analysis of the constraints and opportunities for implementing carbon pricing mechanisms (carbon tax and emissions trading systems) in Egypt and Russia. It examines the key constitutional principles of both countries: the non-delegation doctrine in taxation, the unity of the budgetary system, the prohibition of arbitrary earmarking of revenues, as well as the imperatives of social justice and just transition. The study analyses the main provisions of the Constitutions of Egypt (2014) and the Russian Federation (1993), their application in practice, and the current state of climate policy: the regulated voluntary carbon market launched in Egypt in 2024 on the Egyptian Exchange under the supervision of the Financial Regulatory Authority, and the Sakhalin carbon quota experiment in Russia (2022–2028), within which the region achieved carbon neutrality ahead of schedule in 2025. The research reveals a high degree of convergence in constitutional barriers in both jurisdictions, which makes largescale mandatory carbon pricing possible only through the adoption of a detailed framework law by parliament, with mandatory compliance with social protection mechanisms for vulnerable groups.
The conclusion emphasizes the need to harmonize climate policy with national constitutional foundations to ensure its legitimacy and effectiveness.

Keywords: carbon pricing, constitutional constraints, non-delegation doctrine, separation of powers, budgetary unity, social justice, just transition, Egypt’s voluntary carbon market, Sakhalin experiment, climate policy of Russia and Egypt.
