Abstract: In the current conditions of economic sanctions, it is important to search for the opportunities of the national economy growth, which would promote import substitution, and of progressive structural changes stimulation. The authors emphasize the importance of development of economic sectors, which can become the propulsive force of the economic growth, rather than those providing the domestic demand. The authors attempt an identification of the most significant economic sectors, using the comparison of the outlined types of sectors, classified according to the features, defining the character of the dynamics of their development. The authors apply the methods of time series, grouping, comparative analysis, and graphical analysis. The authors classify economic sectors with different growth trends, from the decelerating development dynamics to the rapidly growing one. The study specifies the term “propulsive industrial sectors”. On the base of the research, the authors conclude that it is necessary to change the industrial policy, which should be oriented at the stimulation of propulsive sectors development, which have a significant importance for the technological breakthrough, and at giving impetus to the development of industrial sectors, ensuring not only import substitution, but also the national security.

Abstract: The article examines the national, global and space security in the model of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development is considered holistically, as a relationship between a component and a meta-component - security. The study discusses the formation of the noosphere and the space development as the stages, following the emergence of a safe and sustainable global civilization. Space security provision and the formation of the noosphere sustainable civilization is considered by the author as a final goal of historical development of the humanity (on the Earth), which will be followed by the development of the space.The methodological basis of the research comprises such scientific methods as abstraction, idealization, comparison, analysis, synthesis, etc., and the method of forecasting. The research task is achieved with the help of the provisions about the humanity as a globally interconnected and self-developing system (global evolutionism), and on the basis of the principle of the universal interconnection of phenomena, the principle of development, etc. The research problems are solved on the base of the statements and conclusions about the studied subjects, described in works of the modern Russian and foreign authors, researchers and philosophers. The current global security model aggravates the global problems.The author comes to the conclusion about the necessity to ensure the national security of the Russian Federation and the regional security of the Eurasian Union by means of sustainable development. The author demonstrates that the survival of the humanity is possible only under the condition of its orientation towards sustainable development.

Abstract: The object of the research is the problem of formation of the Common Information Space of the CIS in the light of the recent events in Ukraine and Moldova. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the main factors, impeding the creation of the current Common Information Space of the CIS and the use of the Russian language as the main integrative factor in solving the problem of creating a single information field. The author notes that the current level of integration in the information field of the post-Soviet space is still low and is not in line with the objectives of protecting national security of the newly independent states. Based on the results of the comparative and the content analysis, the author considers the mechanism of information influence, which combines three functional levels: external, internal and technological. The main conclusion of the study is the idea that the existing geopolitical situation in the world and in the post-Soviet space, connected with the transition from the global model with a single center of power to a decentralized global model, requires a revision of the outdated and not fully implemented Concept of forming the information space of the CIS.

Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the categories of crime in the Russian Empire of the post-reform period of the late 19th – the early 20th centuries – crimes against the state and public order, including a wide range of illegal deeds. The article considers the most widespread crimes against the religion, the state and the society, which had taken place in the provincial towns of Tambov region, namely, various official malfeasances, crimes against the public order and morality, coinage offence and crimes against the Orthodox faith and the church. The methodology of the research is based on the synthesis of the main modern history approaches (microhistorical analysis, local context, gender specificity), and is of a multidisciplinary character (sociology of deviant behavior, historical psychology). The author concludes that the level of dissemination of crimes against the state and public order was higher in towns than in villages; the legal culture and the legal conscience of citizens was influenced by the traditional law within the traditional behavioral guidelines.

Abstract: The subject of this article is the so-called plurilateral agreements, i.e. multilateral agreements with a limited number of participants, open for accession by other countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO). These agreements are discussed in the context of the further development of the WTO. The authors deal with both positive and negative sides of plurilateral agreements within and outside the WTO. The study assesses the possible ways of development of the process of plurilateral agreements use within the WTO. This process is analyzed within the framework and the methodology of comparative and structural-functional approaches. The article discusses two types of plurilateral agreements (agreements within the WTO and agreements outside the WTO, i.e. regional or preferential trade agreements), which are currently used on international trading platforms. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the potential and the prospects of the plurilateral process have significantly changed and expanded since the Uruguay Round. The article states the sustainable growth of regional or preferential trade agreements. The authors note that institutional reforming of the WTO, in practice, will face significant obstacles, but the gradual inclusion of plurilateral agreements into the multilateral trading system should strengthen and improve it in future.
