The Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (Russian: Российская академия естественных наук) is a Russian non-governmental organization founded on August 31 1990 in Moscow in the former Soviet Union, following a decree by the Supreme Soviet of Russia. As of 2018[update], the Academy operates under the Federal Law of August 23, 1996 No. 127-FZ "On Science and State Scientific-Technical Politics". The academy states that it seeks to unite scholars in different fields for the betterment of Russia.As of 2020, its president is Oleg Leonidovich Kuznetsov and its Vice President and Chief Secretary is Lida Vladimirovna Ivanitskaya.The academy is not associated with the Russian Academy of Sciences. It has been criticised because many members lack scientific credentials and some espouse pseudoscientific theories such as Aušra Augustinavičiūtė's socionics and Anatoly Fomenko's "New Chronology".Currently, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences includes 24 central sections, more than 100 regional and thematic departments, research centers, united in eight blocks working in the relevant areas.
The article presents the results of the author's 30-year research, legitimised by the publication of the monograph "Ecocriminological Multimodal Concept for Training Qualified Specialists in the Field of Environmental Safety, Environmental Protection, and Ecovictimological Defence". It is substantiated that the systemic challenge posed by transnational ecocrime, with a latency rate reaching 97–100 %, for certain offences, cannot be mitigated through fragmented efforts of narrowly specialised professionals. The author formulates ecocriminology (oikoscrimenlogos) as a transdisciplinary core that integrates law, ecology, and technology. A conceptual solution is proposed: a multimodal modular system for training a new type of specialists – "ecoprotectors" – who master a proactive workflow scheme: "risk → forecast → prevention → protection → restoration". The role of digital tools is demonstrated (GIEKS – Geoinformation System and Technologies, and the prospective EKII – Ecocriminological Artificial Intelligence). The readiness of the Russian scientific school to develop unified standards for international cooperation is proven
The article provides a brief analysis of the legal status of the military police in the Russian Federation, comparing it with similar state structures in the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Kazakhstan, where this institution has been established by law.
Aim. To identify the evolution of mass consciousness among different strata of the multi-ethnic space of the North Caucasus in the context of the development of the revolutionary process in Russia at the beginning of the 20 th century. Procedure and methods. The use of the system-functional analysis method in the analysis of archival documents and historical literature helped to determine the place and role of the North Caucasus in the system of Russian socio-political processes. The use of the comparative method allowed us to identify the uniqueness of the regional perception of the era of revolutions and to understand the system of cause-and-effect relationships of the local population's participation in the revolution. Results. The analysis of the sources used led to the conclusion that, despite the pre-industrial level of development of the peoples of the North Caucasus, they understood the importance of social and interethnic compromise due to the geographical and sociocultural characteristics of the region. This explains the democratic nature of the demands of both the elite and the working-class population. Therefore, the majority of the region's population supported the February Revolution. Research implications. The conclusion about the continuity of the historical destinies of Russia and the North Caucasus was confirmed and substantiated, despite the periodic discreteness of the relationship. The experience of interaction and mutual influence of the center and the region is important for identifying factors that contribute to the growth of integration opportunities for the development of the Russian community in a changing world order.
The article presents the main stages in the study of Devergie disease (pityriasis rubra pilaris)―from the first mentions in the works of 19th-century dermatologists to modern concepts of its etiology and pathogenesis. The earliest descriptions of the disease are found in the works by T. Bateman (1815), C. Tarral (1835), and A. Devergie (1856), who laid the foundation for the clinical understanding of this rare papulosquamous dermatosis. Further contributions to the study of the disease were made by F. Hebra, E. Besnier, M. Kaposi, and Russian researchers including V.F. Burgsdorf, who systematized the clinical features and substantiated the independence of this condition. A significant step in the study of Devergie disease was associated with the development of concepts about its possible association with vitamin A metabolism disorders and hereditary factors, as reflected in the publications of the 20th century. At the same time, the first classification was proposed by W. Griffiths. A new stage began with the introduction of molecular-genetic technologies, particularly the discovery of CARD14 mutations and the involvement of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as well as the IL-1β/CCL20 and IL-23/IL-17A axes, which made it possible to consider the disease as an autoinflammatory dermatosis and explained the effectiveness of modern genetically engineered biological therapies. In addition, new clinical subtypes of the disease have been identified, including facial discoid dermatitis, HIV-associated, paraneoplastic, postinfectious, and CAPE subtypes. Despite significant progress in understanding the pathogenesis and the availability of modern therapeutic options, Devergie disease remains difficult to diagnose and requires further research to clarify its nosological nature and develop personalized treatment approaches.
