Collection, processing, storage and dissemination of information as effective methods of influencing the socio-political sphere
Abstract
In the presented article, the author considers the collection, processing, storage and dissemination of information as effective methods of influencing the socio-political sphere. Information disseminated through the media, social networks, instant messengers, public events influences the political views of those who consume it. It is obvious that it is perceived, analyzed, discussed by a person and influences his line of behavior. Consequently, the listed methods of influencing the socio-political sphere can be used to achieve both positive and negative goals. In the work, the author provides facts of the influence of processed information on the socio-political situation. The researcher also considers examples of the activities of special services of hostile states that used the above methods to provoke citizens to mass riots and, as a result, a change in the political regime; describes the events that led to the erosion of the state, which negatively affected the standard of living of the population. The author concludes that government agencies should more carefully identify sources of information, since some of them deliberately disseminate false data in order to harm the country. In addition, control by the state administration over the methods of its dissemination is required. It is necessary to have the ability to stop the work of channels disseminating information aimed at damaging state security and sovereignty.



Monotheism is about the mental specificity of humanity and the prospects for its development. Mysticism or reality? (Part 1)
Abstract
The article attempts, taking into account the intellectual and mental level of our contemporary, to put the information set forth in the primary sources of monotheism, using the expression of the Bible, "from head to foot" (Isaiah 1:6), showing that the Torah, the New Testament and the Koran are not the result of intellectual activity, but are given to mankind by some kind of "Essence" Who has reached such a level of her development in the boundless and eternal universe that allowed Her to create for us on our planet a "being" like herself.
The paper shows that the primary sources of monotheism, the Torah, the New Testament and the Koran, pointing to the reasons for the fundamental difference between the intellectual and mental sphere of man from the rest of the animal world of our planet, associate them with a special path of development, which is provided for man by a certain "Essence" that created him.
The article consists of three parts. The first part contains an Introduction, which outlines the content of the article, the purpose, methods and hypothesis of our research, as well as some fundamentally important information from the primary sources of monotheism about the special mental nature of man, fundamentally different from all living beings of the earth.

Russian nationalization policy at the current stage
Abstract
The article analyzes the topic of nationalization of private property. The urgency of this issue is due to the accelerated process of changing ownership forms, which is typical for periods of crisis and increasing threats to national security. In recent years, the policy of nationalization has taken the greatest scope as a response to economic crises, a set of measures to counteract the COVID pandemic, under this pretext there is also an illegal seizure of Russian private and state assets by Western countries and, in general, an aggravation of the international situation. The policy of nationalization is an important component of the state's economic policy, especially in times of crisis in history. The author considers the policy of nationalization as a set of political, economic and legal measures to withdraw property from private ownership into state ownership in accordance with the national interests of the country or for political reasons. Modern foreign experience testifies to the widespread use of the policy of nationalization in order to ensure national security, as well as the realization of other national, corporate or political interests. The author concludes that with the aggravation of the international situation, including against the background of a special military operation in Ukraine, it is advisable for Russia to continue improving the nationalization policy within the framework of existing national legislation.

Politics
Dynamics of the peace treaty as a legitimate order in Tajikistan
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation and implementation of the peace treaty in Tajikistan under the conditions of civil war. This aspect is considered taking into account the study of both normative and media resources devoted to the peace process. The conceptual basis of the work is that in the conditions of the civil war peace became an institutional unification of the warring parties on the basis of the principle of interaction and mutual understanding established by the country's legislation in order to restore and create a national and secular state. However, the peace treaty did not prove to be a universal factor in the sustainability of peace policy as a legitimate order, which actualises the scientific study of its mechanisms and institutions of implementation. This approach makes it possible to create a saw picture of this institutional order in the conditions of political and ideological confrontation in the post-conflict period.
