The authors of the article drawn on a wide range of historical materials examine the course of life and the teaching as well as research activities of the fi rst historian of nuclear, biological and chemical defence corps of Russia, Major General, Professor Aleksandr de Lazari, who signifi cantly contributed to the development of the country’s polemology and the higher military education system of Soviet Russia in the 1930s and fell victim to the Stalinist repressions. The authors study his biography, and they come to the conclusion that it has some similarities with Russian offi cers, intellectuals, scientists and teachers at a turn of the history of Russia. However, Aleksandr de Lazari fully shared the tragic fate of the nobility, and perhaps of his generation, and his country on the whole. It is concluded in the article that his numerous military-historical and other scientifi c works have been topical and remain so for the modern era. Keywords: military history, military academy, General Staff, chemical weapons, World War I, offi cer, scientifi c works.

Currently, much attention is paid to areas of technological development that contribute to the growth of social welfare (health-oriented industries). A characteristic feature of the catering market in the Russian Federation is insufficient saturation, while its development is entirely dictated by regional specificities. The aim of the work was to study the state and prospects of the public catering industry development in the Ural region (particularly in Sverdlovsk Region) in the context of new industrialization, taking into account the development of information technologies. One of the areas of "new industrialization" ("the third industrial revolution") is the development of NBIC technologies (Nnano, Bbio, Iinformation, Ccognitive science). In the paper, the main factors that substantiate the features of the regional development of the public catering sector have been identified and reviewed, the state of the catering market has been analyzed, and the main trends in the development of this sector has been highlighted. In general, it is noted that the unfavorable ecological situation, as well as the influence of external economic factors, has a negative impact on the development of public catering. At the same time, the geographical location, high urban population, as well as the development of the regional economy are factors contributing to the development of the industry. The development of new industrialization in the agroindustrial complex is impossible without NBIC technologies. Keywords: catering market structure, industry development factors, information technologies.I.
