“…However, the research does not show any definite conclusions. Young people in Ukraine are not often socially active, the same trend is shown by Golovchin and Leonidova (2014) on the example of part of Russian Federation (this problem is not only unique to Ukraine or Russia, see more: BEKKERS, 2005;KENNEDY, 2007;MARZĘCKI 2020;NG, 2009).…”

There is a widespread view that youth (students) are deeply involved into various social activities during their studies. However, are the majority of university students’ real participants and consumers of the local social agenda? The present paper critically examines the social activity of students in Ukraine. It focuses on several inter-related issues, namely how often students are socially active, how they feelabout their immediate surrounding, and its influence. The author also researches the attitudes of university youth towards student organizations and activities they provide, paying special attention to analysis of universities’ internal youth policy. The paper also seeks to diagnose, describe and explain the behavioural patterns of social activity dominating the social consciousness of students in their local environment. Overall, the results of the study are not very optimistic. They clearly indicate that students experience tangible engagement and interaction problems inside the academic and social environment at their universities.

“…In the article, within cross-cultural research, we discuss possibilities for the development of binary culture in Russia and Armenia. We have chosen these countries because their socio-economic development has a "spiral effect," which means that the standard of living and quality of life should de facto become incentives for a new round of economic development, but their struggling economies cannot ensure high living standards and quality of life for their population so far [Golovchin, Leonidova 2014]. In particular, this is evidenced by the World Happiness Report 2018, a survey conducted by the UN in the course of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network initiative [Helliwell, Layard, Sachs 2018].…”

“…While searching for what drives modern development and how to respond to the challenges of the time, economic science has to revise many scientific theories [Golovchin, Leonidova 2014]. Representatives of various scientific schools consider various fundamentals of societal development: accumulation and concentration of capital, its profitability, innovation, biological and natural aspects related to the location of territories, the nature of institutions prevailing in society, human and social capital [Ekimova 2019], etc.…”

“…In other words, a culture that shapes normal behavior in agents also ensures economic growth in the country. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to create cultural institutions [Golovchin, Leonidova 2014]. Describing the relationship between cultures and institutions, C. Welzel proves that countries with highly developed emancipatory values (pursuit of freedom, human rights) have a much higher level of institutional development [Welzel 2017].…”

Heuristic Potential of Concepts by G. Hofstede and A.A. Auzan for Studying Binarity of Culture in Armenia and Russia

At the present stage of development, culture plays a special role in the life of society as a set of value beliefs and practices, since it is it that shapes the attitude of the population toward the basic rules, norms, and realities, which is somewhat complicated by the spread of polar cultural patterns (binarity) in society. As part of the article, using materials from sociological surveys, we tried to present arguments about how post-Soviet countries are developing in the mirror of the manifestation of binary, which is actively manifested in national culture. In accordance with the theory of A.A. Auzan, we consider binarity culture to be a type of culture built on the structural opposition of the following values: individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, high/low power distance, and tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty. Within Hofstede's theory, aspects such as individualism/ collectivism, tolerance/uncertainty avoidance, and femininity/masculinity are considered. To illustrate the development of binary culture, two neighboring countries – the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia – are examined. In the course of the research, we conducted secondary analysis of the data obtained from public opinion surveys in the city of Yerevan (Republic of Armenia) and in the Vologda Region (Russian Federation). Within the examination, practices supporting the populations of two polar types of cultures have been identified: C-culture and I-culture. In conclusion, we present preliminary conclusions about how the signs of polar cultures manifest themselves in Russian and Armenian society. We are trying to substantiate the idea that for the effective development of the state it is necessary that the process of making decisions important for the life of the population (institutional design) corresponds to the cultural needs of the population. Main research conclusion: culture serves an explanatory function, allowing for the identification of the reasons for the success or failure of managerial decision-making.

The article discusses the results of a pilot sociolinguistic experiment. Its purpose was to study the ideas of speech culture among high school students using questionnaires. The objectives of the study included the identification of the value-based attitude of informants towards the speech ideal and the carriers of “exemplary speech”, opinions of the level of contemporary youth speech culture, as well as shortcomings and values of modern Russian speech. The questionnaire included high school students’ assessment of language innovations and specific facts of word use, including the norms of the literary language that went beyond the norm boundaries. The survey was conducted among high school students of Omsk and the Omsk region. It was found that, for informants, public media people most often act as carriers of exemplary speech, among which TV presenters, writers, and cultural professionals have a priority. At the same time, 14 % of respondents found it difficult to “personify” their speech ideal in relation to modern speech. Moreover, the results of the experiment showed young people prioritize such characteristics of speech culture as compliance with the norms of the literary language, effectiveness and ethics of speech. At the same time, the experiment revealed the influence of stereotypes about “language clogging with foreign words” perpetuated by Russian media. The author considers the relevance of a scientific approach to understanding language development for high school linguo-didactic practice
