Abstract: The subject of the research is the economic relations of the BRICS countries in the financial and credit area, as well as their status and role within International Monetary Systems (IMS). An important task for the alignment is to increase their role within IMS and to reform IMS taking into consideration the constant growth of the role of its countries in the global economy. Within the current IMS system, it is difficult for the BRICS countries along with other developing countries to defend their financial and economic interests. The author reviews a favorable vector for the IMS reform by including new financial institutions created by the BRICS alignment into the system. The main method of the scientific research is the method of comparison and analysis of the qualitative and quantitative factors, acquired through the course of monitoring the development of global currency relations. The author comes to a conclusion that the establishing of an international financial center by the BRCIS alignment is necessary, and can become a counterbalance to the West’s domination within IMS. Creating such counterbalance to the current financial system is the matter of national security for Russia and other members of the BRICS alignment. All these measures would contribute to raising the marketability of the BRICS countries’ economies and strengthening their influence on the global level in both, financial and political aspects.

Abstract: This work is dedicated to the methodological and applied issues of improving the processes of managing regional security under the conditions of aggravated antagonism between nations of the West and Russia, as well as the instability of the world economy. It presents a diagnostic methodology, structural analysis and evaluation of the main threats to national security. We will examine the issues of countermeasures towards the destructive information influences, built upon disinformation and manipulation technologies. This article demonstrates the results of an analysis of the key aspects of the processes of regional security management. It goes over the mechanisms of using scenario analysis in managing the social and economic development of a region and providing protection to social stability from the external and internal threats. We look at the results of scenario research of the developed multigraph models of managing regional security. In order to solve the entirety of the problems at hand, the article offers a methodological approach, which is based on the modeling and advanced scenario analysis of the processes of a situation progression within the regional social and economic systems, as well as in the external environment. Its main advantage is the ability to: assess the level of vulnerability of social and economic systems influenced by the external and internal threats to the regional security; conduct a complex analysis of a particular region’s situation within any given timeframe; form a short-term and long-term prognoses of its development; evaluate the effectiveness and concurrence of the multiple, spread across time and space strategic and tactical management solutions for achieving the set goals under the conditions of ambiguity. The article shows that the effectiveness of the countermeasures for the emerging threats to regional security from geopolitical enemies of the Russian Federation, as well as internal sources of vulnerability that they have created and financed, depends on creation and widespread use of complex mechanisms that would provide a coordinated solution to at least two basic sets of tasks: ensuring a stable social and economic development of a region, and its protection from the external and internal informational threats to the social stability.

Abstract: Countering the illegal financial operations, pertaining to transferring money out of our country, along with carrying out the fiscal functions, is one of the main activities of the Federal Customs Service of Russia. The author emphasizes the fact that the customs authorities, being agents of the foreign exchange control, conduct currency control across the entire foreign trade turnover of Russia, while not emulating the work of other control agencies. The subject of research of this article is the work of the customs authorities that is aimed at uncovering illegal schemes of transferring money offshore, as well as the difficult issues emerging in the process of doing so. In the process of working on this article, the author uses knowledge gained from personal work in this field, and as a result, offers ways to solve problems arising in the work of the customs authorities, including the legislative vacuum. The scientific novelty of the specific part to which this work is dedicated, consists of the fact that the establishment of the Customs Union has also allowed for creation of new ways of transferring money abroad. The flaws within legislation, as well as the differences of the regulatory acts of the member states of the Customs Union created conditions for an uncontrolled transfer of funds overseas, which destabilizes the economy of our nation. If implemented, the proposed ways of solving this issue would help Russia’s customs authorities rectify the situation.

Abstract: Culture is one of the key factors that define the relations between people, and its main parameters lie in the foundation of national business culture, where industrial organizations and relations between staff members are being formed, including those between management and subordinates. At the same time, the society aims to form values and aspirations among the citizens that would be necessary for a successful adaptation within the current social and socioeconomic system. This article reviews the correspondence of social and socioeconomic values based on the example of manipulation of staff members by Russian and British management. The subject of empirical research is the manipulative tendencies of managers, their perception of themselves as manipulators, and the realization of their subordinates about the manipulative tendencies of the management. The research methods are: theoretical analysis of the scientific sources, which allow us to recreate the fundamental principles of the Russian and British cultures; evaluations and questionnaires for management and their subordinates. Based on the sociocultural specifics of Russian culture, it does not provide prerequisites for manipulation; thus the acquired results can be explained first of all by the complicated social situation within modern Russia, forcing people to elect the path of cooperation, which contradicts their sociocultural values.

Keywords: Culture, cultural parameters, national business culture, sociocultural specifics, social structure, Russian culture, British culture, people manipulation, manipulative tendencies of management, recognizing manipulations.

Abstract: The authors and trademark owners are concerned about the manufacturing and sales of counterfeit products, the scale of which poses a serious threat to the economic security of Russian Federation. The fakes market spans from shoes and clothes, to audio and video devices. The most significant cause for concern is the problem of counterfeit medications. However, there is an opinion among scholars working on this issue that the legal ramifications (stated in section 180 of the Criminal Code of Russia) for the illegal use of registered trademarks do not correspond to the actual public demand for criminal accountability. Within the theory of criminal law, this matter still remains quite controversial; and unfortunately, the consensus is yet to be reached on this issue. In this work, the author attempts to demonstrate the reasons that justify the criminalization of these actions. This research was conducted based on the accumulation of general scientific and socio-legal methods. In solving specific tasks in this research, the following methods were used: statistical, analytical, comparative legal and others. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to following conclusions: the actions, which violate the legal use of a registered trademark, service mark, the place of origin of a product, or similar marking on a product of same type, give grounds to their criminalization due to their high public risk and their relative commonness. At the same time, the illegal use of a registered trademark symbol with regards to means of individualization that were not registered within Russian Federation, does not provide grounds (conditions) for the criminalization of these actions: section 1225 of the Civil Code of Russia does not define it as a result of intellectual activity, thus it is unclear exactly whose rights are being violated.

Abstract: This article presents the main results of an empirical research, the goal of which is to study the peculiarities of the student youth’s perception of subjects of terrorism. As such, the following were examined: a terrorist — the leader of a terrorist movement, responsible for development of corresponding ideology, propaganda, and promoting the idea of extremism for the purpose of recruiting new members into the ranks of the organization; a terrorist — the executant, member of a terrorist cell responsible for the preparation and carrying out of an act of terrorism; a male and a female terrorist bombers. The methodology behind the research is developed based on the semantic differential and is aimed at detecting the physical appearance, socio-demographic characteristics and character traits of terrorists, which will solve various problems with regards to carrying out their destructive actions. For the purpose of expansion the interpretations and development of conclusions, the author offers a graphical model of social representations of terrorism, which allows illustrating the key vectors of terrorist activity and the structure of perception about subjects of terrorism. This presents an interest in the context of problematics of antiterrorist activity. In the analysis of the results, one of the aspects taken into consideration is that of the role of mass-media in the social formation of the phenomenon of terrorism. The question of optimizing the social and informational-psychological countermeasures to terrorism under the modern circumstances becomes more relevant.

Abstract: Subjective state of social exclusion of the migrant community of the Altai Krai labor market. The migrant workers, both legal and illegal, experience significant limitations within the region’s job market. Among the most affected are their social and legal rights in the job market, which makes seeking a legal course of actions to resolve work-related issues virtually impossible. The subjective state of the social exclusion lies within the fact that such conditions are unacceptable to the migrants; they find themselves unable to exercise their rights in the labor market. This article presents the results of a social research in the form of in-depth interviews with various categories of migrant workers of the Altai Krai. During the 2012 and 2013, a cycle of in-depth interviews was conducted with the migrant workers (n = 35, of which legal n = 20, and illegal n = 15). In the course of the research it became evident that the conditions of the job market generally met the demands of the migrants who were interviewed, as they arrive ready and willing to work for less pay, higher workload and only a verbal agreement about the terms and the rate of pay, which significantly increases the risk that these agreements will be violated. They justify accepting these work conditions due to the fact that most of the time the migrants do not have the necessary paperwork allowing them to legally live and work in that territory. Throughout their employment, they may often find themselves being discriminated against in both, their relations with the management, and their colleagues. The work of those belonging to a different ethnic group is usually greatly underrated. Trusting relationships with the native population are quite rare, thus the migrants prefer to live and spend leisure time among a community of their own.

Abstract: This article examines the events which preceded the war between China and India that occurred in 1962, briefly the military engagement itself in the Eastern sector and its results. In author’s opinion this conflict carried a number of causes, among which is India’s annexation of Tawang Town (a part of South Tibet), the Tibet situation in general, as well as certain aspects of the Indian border policy. The author studies the specifics of the cooperation between the leaders of People’s Republic of China and India on the controversial issues, which prompted the Chinese army to attack India’s positions on October 20, 1962. Methodological base for this research consists of the systematic, structural-functional and comparative historical approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling and expert assessments. The boarder war between China and India lasted a month, while creating a new type of warfare, where the fight is not to capture enemy territory, but to punish the other side. It is clear that in many cases the controversial issues should be addressed separately, suspending the difficult and complex ones for an indefinite period of time.

Abstract: Analysis of Germany’s development of tourism as a complex and integral system, allows addressing the issue of designing a version of national model of a quality (safe) and competitive tourism product. From the beginning of the 1920’s, tourism in West Germany and other Germanspeaking countries has been viewed by researchers as a complex and integral system, in which the correlation of all its components results in the ability to offer the consumer a safe and high-quality tourism product. At the foundation of the tourism product of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and other German-speaking countries lies in the consistency and interdisciplinarity of tourism research. The methodological basis of this research is the systemic approach and comparative analysis; it offers comparative analysis of the conceptual and terminological construct of the problem. The article presents: analysis of the model of a tourism product (on the example of a travel and tourism company TUI AG); comparative analysis of conceptual and terminological construct of the problem; proposal of a version of a model of forming a quality (safe) tourism product within travel region; offers the key components of a safe tourism product. The field for implementation of the results of the research is the theory and practice of developing national tourism. The relevance is presented in the possibility of using the positive experience of a systematic development of tourism in West Germany, and applying it in our own tourism by forming upon this foundation a quality (safe) national tourism product.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the development of the concept and structure of the corporate informational culture of the medical facilities within the system of healthcare management. In order to bring this research to life it is necessary to solve a number of problems: 1. Review informational culture as a part of human culture based on informational cooperation. 2. Develop structure of corporate informational culture as a type of corporate culture. 3. Develop the structure of corporate informational culture within medical facilities as a type of activity. 4. Define the notion of the corporate informational culture of the medical facilities. The main methodological approaches that were used in this research were the activity, and structural-functional approaches, as well as the principles of dialectics. The research yielded the following results: informational culture is a part of a human culture, which forms upon the informational correlation and informational socialization of an individual; the structure of the informational corporate culture within the system of the human culture is presented in three main elements — informational, operational and motivational subsystems, which are a product of the corporate medical culture as a social phenomenon; the specificity of the informational corporate culture is evident in the fact that it forms and establishes through the informational activity. As a result, the knowledge, skill and orientation necessary for the creation of the required level of medical corporate culture can be passed on and developed only through the use of modern information technologies; the structure of a corporate informational culture in medical facilities as a type of activity is presented in form of a system, in which all elements carry informational character — subject, object, means, environment, conditions, process, system, and result. Informational corporate culture of medical facilities is a system of generally accepted knowledge institutions, skills and orientation, which form and being transmitted based on the informational cooperation aimed at realization of medical work that creates unique image of the medical facility.
