The Moscow International University was established in 1991 by Mikhail Gorbachev and George H. W. Bush, and is the first private university in Russia.In August 1991, President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev and President of the U.S. George H. W. Bush launched a joint educational project: a Soviet-American University, which in documents signed later by Boris Yeltsin, the first President of Russia, was named the Moscow International University.The university's main campus is located at 17 Leningradsky Prospect in central Moscow.
This article examines the role of visual solutions and digital interfaces in the implementation of contemporary demographic policy. The study aims to identify how user experience and digital service design contribute to the construction of normative models of parenting and the implicit adoption of a family-centered approach. The methodological framework is based on a case study of the Telegram mini app “Wow, Parents!” , which applies a semiotic analysis of visual content and a discourse analysis of interface solutions as practices for constructing a normative narrative. The example of “Wow, Parents!” and its visual and informational pregnancy guide demonstrates that the interface is becoming a key element in the formation of a new type of trusting relationship between family and the state. The study concludes that demographic policy is transforming toward personalized, “soft” communication through digital channels. This study contributes to the development of media communications theory by exploring the “soft power” of digital interfaces and opens up prospects for further study of the normative impact of government services in the private sphere.
The purpose and objectives of this article are to analyze how civilizational analysis can be applied in the field of international law, identify the main directions of its evolution, and propose theoretical and methodological tools for studying the civilizational component in international legal acts. Methodological Approach. The work relies on general theoretical techniques (analysis, comparison, generalization) and a synergetic approach. It is based on the civilizational paradigm in its two variants: the theory of local civilizations and the synergetic model, which understands civilization as an open, self-organizing, and nonequilibrium system. Special attention is given to clarifying basic concepts ("civilization," "state-civilization," "civilizational identity") through a system of nested characteristics (cultural, ethnic, religious, etc.). Results and Conclusions. This article examines contemporary attempts to enshrine a "civilizational agenda" in official government documents (Russia, the United States, China, and Mongolia), in the decisions of international organizations (BRICS, the UN Alliance of Civilizations), and in bilateral agreements. It argues for the urgent need for a new academic discipline—civilizational jurisprudence. The author concludes that the growing role of the Global South and the transition to a multipolar world will push the international community toward legally (albeit primarily through "soft law") enshrining the rules of intercivilizational dialogue, the concept of civilizational security, and the special status of civilizational states as the main actors in a polycentric world. These trends also indirectly intensify the fragmentation of the existing international legal order under the influence of civilizational processes. Novelty and Practical Significance. The main value of this work lies in its demonstration that a new branch (or institution) of international law is objectively emerging: the regulation of intercivilizational relations (or, more precisely, relations complicated by civilizational factors). An additional contribution is provided by the combination of the civilizational approach with synergetics, which allows us to understand law as civilization's "Response" to external or internal "Challenges," and legal culture as an expression of the collective desire to maintain the system in a stable state and achieve its development (the desire for an attractor as the optimal form of civilizational existence).
The study analyzes how emotional intelligence (EI) is linked to adolescents’ creativity and English achievement. In a sample of 120 students aged 14–17, EI (EmIn) and creativity (Williams) were measured and compared with year-end English grades. EI correlated positively with creativity and achievement; EI and creativity independently predicted achievement, and intrapersonal EI predicted creativity. Interpreted via the triple- network model, EI is framed as a neurocognitive resource supporting creative cognition and language learning.
This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of visual-semantic communication in the design models of three online publications — “Kommersant”, “2x2.media”, and “Gorky” — as an editorial strategy for positioning in the "experience economy" or "emotional market." Methods of content analysis, typographic analysis, and comparative research are applied to identify the features of type solutions, visual segmentation, and stylistic approaches, considering the professional orientation and specific audience of each publication. It is revealed that sans-serif or grotesque fonts serve as a universal tool for text formatting in online media; however, editorial policy determines unique stylistic accents: the minimalism of “Kommersant” reflects its elite status and content quality; the typographic minimalism of “2x2.media”, with its playful elements, targets a young internet audience; the romantic minimalism of “Gorky” emphasizes its literary focus and the intellectual level of its materials. The typography of the design models forms a visual-semantic code for the publication, ensuring harmony between content and design, as well as effective communication with the target audience in the digital media space.
