Gradual ideological transformation of Hasidism and development of reformist tendencies

The purpose of the study: the separation and characterization of stages of development of Hasidism. In this work the theological concepts of Hasidism of the XVIII-XX centuries are studied. The article emphasizes the influence of anti-Christian ideas in early Jewish mysticism, Kabalah, and later-phase Hasidism, which were later revised by new Hasidic ideologues in the context of interfaith dialogue. Scientific novelty: the article analyzes the stages of development of Hasidism, as well as its transformation of interfaith dialogue and the foundations of theology within the new and modern time. As a result: it has been revealed that Hasidism as a mystico-religious movement throughout its existence contains contradictory ideas where each stage of development is characterized by concepts that may contradict each other, on the part of traditionalism, and on the side of moderate reformation and heretical radicalism.

Key words: Hasidism, neo-Hasidism, antinomianism, Chabad, Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, interfaithism.

On the conceptual basis of the course "Foundations of Russian statehood"

The article is devoted to the new course "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood," which was introduced from September 2023 in all Russian universities in the curriculum of the first semester. The article analyzed the argumentation of the main concept of the course: the position that Russia is a civilization state It was revealed that the civilizational approach to understanding the patterns of history by the authors is defined as promising, and the linear-stage is called one-sided. It is indicated that this approach to history was formed during the Enlightenment as a result of criticism of the Christian faith and Christian eschatology; today took a leading place in the socio-humanities. The idea of endless progress, political, economic, cultural advance by Western countries, all other peoples are clearly called into question by the authors of the manual. As true theories of history, the theory of cultural and historical types of N.Ya. Danilevsky and the theory of "blooming" and disintegrating civilizations of K.N. Leontyev are based. The leading role of the supreme power in the formation on the territory of Russia since 862 of a new community of the Russian state-civilization, starting with the rule of the Varangian-Russian prince Rurik, is being substantiated. An important theoretical argument of the manual for protecting the concept of Russia as a civilization state is the position that Orthodoxy is an important component of national ideology and psychology. It is emphasized that the recognition and spread of world religion among the citizens of the country is an important criterion for civilization, but insufficient. The authors of the manual put forward the presence of an interethnic and interfaith dialogue as the main criterion of the Russian state-civilization. The article states a new understanding of the specifics of Russian society, the justification of a civilizational approach to history, the recognition of the religious Orthodox worldview as the basis of national ideology and psychology. Within the framework of this course, first-year students of Russia should gain knowledge about the specifics of Russian civilization, a new idea of the laws of history, get acquainted with outstanding representatives of Russian peoples, study modern challenges and socio-cultural threats to Russian statehood.

Key words: state, civilization, ethnic identity, Russian history, religion, Christianity, culture, supreme power, Orthodoxy.

Analysis of the participation of the Russian Orthodox Church in the socio-political discourse regulated by the document «Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church»

This article attempts to oppose some of the theses about the Russian Orthodox Church put forward in Svyatoslav Kaspe's article "The Conspiracy of Silence", such as inaction in the political arena, the use of the sacred sphere solely for the purpose of influencing the mass consciousness of believers in order to strengthen their positions in the state administration apparatus, and complete submission to this apparatus to maintain these positions. The author of the above article believes that instead of active acting in political discourse, the institution of the Orthodox Church expands its activities only in social areas, providing it with an increase in “adepts” and property benefits. We will not dispute the subjective opinion of the respected author, however, we will ask ourselves questions about the forms and goals of the acting of the Russian Orthodox Church and whether it should actively broadcast political demands and insist on political decisions, given that this is not within its powers?

Key words: church, social, state, society, cooperation, interaction, orthodoxy,concept, religion.

On the problem of activity of non-profit organizations in modern Russia

Non-profit organizations as an element of the development of civil society have a significant impact on the social sphere. First of all, the state establishes legal boundaries for the development of various forms of social interaction, which acquire institutional outlines. In this regard, the question arises of further development of the organizations in question to build social trust. This factor determines not only the readiness of citizens to support these forms of social interaction, but also direct participation. The research methods used were analysis of regulatory legal acts and sociological research in the form of a questionnaire. The study revealed that there are significant information gaps that do not allow the formation of sustainable trust in non-profit organizations; often the population perceives these forms of civil society as associations of interests or organizations to meet their own needs. Based on the results of the study, the main directions of transformation of public policy in this direction have been formulated, which requires revision both in the legislative space and in the activities of public authorities. It is emphasized that the activities of public organizations should be carried out with the support of government structures and representatives of business structures guided by the principles of social responsibility.

Key words: non-profit organizations, sociological research, social trust, perception, government agencies, communication.

Formation of the theory and practice of Chinese poster art in the 1950s

The primary elements of this study are abstracted from the evolution of Chinese poster art theory and practice during the 1950s period. To comprehend its full significance, we must situate it in its historical and societal framework - an era of significant political changes and social upheavals. In examining this context, we encounter two categories of problems - one related to the transformation of traditional artistic practices by modern influences, and the other dealing with the role of state-driven ideology in shaping art theory and practice. This paper is structured as a multidisciplinary investigation into the unique characteristics of the 1950s Chinese poster art, involving an examination of both the technical aspects of the art form and the theoretical basis underlying the practice. Drawing on constructs of historical, social, and propaganda-driven art sites, it delves into the synthesis of Western art theories with socialist realism that was dominant during this period. Reflections as found in philosophy, art and social theory are used to interrogate and question the cultural and political dynamics that shaped this art form. In doing so, this study examines the coexistence and interplay between art theory and practice, not just as a means of understanding the aesthetic aspects of the art form, but also as a lens to understand the broader sociopolitical context of the 1950s. The paper concludes by arguing for the reciprocal relationship between theory and practice, and its importance for shaping the future of Chinese poster art.

Key words: China, 1950s, poster art, socialist realism, propaganda art.
