The ongoing transformation of the world politics that are the results of the crisis of the americano-centric globalization and related crisis of the Americano-centric institutionalization put forward the issue of the new methods of management of the controversial socio-economic and social-politic tendencies The key problem of the contemporary world is the excessive role of informational manipulations and related technologies including military hybrid propaganda in the main areas of competition and disengagement. The Western informational mainstream uses multiple factoids that are presented as the real facts. The system of management of the global informational processes served as one of the major tools of the global interrelationship as we know it. “Post-reality” became one of the currently frequently used methods of formation of new geopolitical spaces and reshaping the geo-economic landscape. The post-reality is a more complex development of the post-truth technologies that secured the US dominance in the global informational environment through the era of American unipolarity. The phenomena of post-reality on the one hand gives the opportunity to manage actively the process of geoeconomic regionalization, but on the other provides for preservation of US global dominance relying upon the primacy in the global informational environment. The on-going crisis of the “world of the power of communications” that was praised by the researches of media-sphere in the beginning of 2000s, creates a highly contradictory socio-informational environment that in turn creates the ground for the effect of socio-communication enclavism. And that is the fertile social and technological ground for constructing the post-reality as the socio-political reality.

The article examines various aspects of the evolution of ethnopolitical processes in Russia, influenced by technological transformation and its socio-political consequences. The purpose of this article is to apply the concept of digitalization to ethnopolitical processes as a form of political process. The theoretical and methodological framework of the paper is an analysis of scientific discourse in the digitalization field, as well as a topological approach that allowed placing ethnopolitical processes in digital space. After reviewing the main theoretical approaches to studying the digitalization of politics, the author outlines its key manifestations in interethnic relations, identifying the risks and opportunities. It is concluded that the penetration of new technologies into issues of identity of individual and group social actors is a crucial factor in the digitalization of ethnopolitical processes. It is shown that these phenomena lead to both a potential increase in the political actors’ number and an expansion of available tools for political activism. Based on an analysis of the State National Policy Strategy until 2036 the author concludes that internet technologies are increasingly playing a significant role in its structure. The conclusion outlines potential areas for further research.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the current state and trends in the development of the system of additional vocational education (hereinafter — AVE) of state civil and municipal employees in the Russian Federation. The objectives of the analysis were to identify the features and trends of changes in the structure of the AVE programs of state civil and municipal employees, the territorial features of their coverage of training in AVE programs. The study used a statistical analysis of data on the training of state civil and municipal employees for the period 2020–2024 in the territorial context. The results of the analysis showed the presence of stable trends in changing the structure of AVE programs for state civil and municipal employees, uneven development of territorial systems of AVE of state civil and municipal employees. A method for assessing the level of development of territorial systems of AVE of state civil and municipal employees has been proposed, its assessment has been carried out for all constituent entities of the federation in which branches of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration are located. Measures are proposed aimed at developing the AVE of state civil and municipal employees, improving monitoring in this area and increasing the role of independent certification of state civil and municipal employees. The results of the analysis show that in the country as a whole, the annual coverage of state and municipal employees with training in AVE programs in 2020–2024. consistently amounted to about 30 % of their number. The methodology for assessing the development of the AVE systems of state and municipal employees in the regions makes it possible to compare the levels of development of the AVE systems of state civil servants and municipal employees in the regional context and determine how the subjects of the federation, leading in terms of the level of development of the AVE of state and municipal employees, are attractive for training employees of “their” district or other districts. In terms of the level of development of the AVE systems of state and municipal employees, the federal districts are significantly differentiated, the most developed are the AVE systems in the North-West, Central and Volga federal districts. There is a significant differentiation of the AVE systems of state and municipal employees in the constituent entities of the federation, in which the branches of the RANEPA, the parent organization for meeting the needs of state and municipal bodies in AVE, are located.

In recent years, large language models and agent systems based on them have been considered a promising tool for the digital transformation of public administration. However, the practical effectiveness of such systems is determined not only by the quality of text generation, including grammatical correctness, coherence, and general awareness, but also by their ability to reliably retain context, retrieve previously acquired information, and reproduce procedural rules within long-term managerial processes. For public organizations, this aspect is particularly critical, as administrative activity relies on stable memory of regulatory requirements, organizational rules, facts of specific cases, and their chronological order.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the limits of applicability of agent systems based on large language models in public administration through a comparative analysis of human memory models and the memory architectures of such systems.

Methods. The study employs a comparative analytical approach. Basic cognitive models of human memory are examined, and their characteristics relevant to managerial activity are identified. Subsequently, architectural mechanisms of information storage and retrieval in agent systems based on large language models are analyzed as a functional analogue of human memory.

Results. The analysis demonstrates that agent systems reproduce certain external functions of human memory through a combination of short-term contextual representations and external knowledge repositories. At the same time, fundamental differences are identified, including the absence of autobiographical memory, experiential chronology, embedded responsibility mechanisms, and causal verification. These limitations increase the risk of contextual distortion and complicate the validation of generated outputs.

Conclusions. It is concluded that, at present, agent systems based on large language models cannot be used for autonomous decision-making in responsible administrative procedures. Nevertheless, they show significant potential as cognitive assistants for public servants, provided that mandatory human oversight is maintained and personal responsibility for decisions is preserved.

In the context of industrial digitalization, states are gaining new opportunities to manage industry through the use of digital tools of protectionism. State industrial information systems function as a political technology that enables the control of production, the stimulation of priority sectors, and the reduction of dependence on foreign technologies. The article examines the main mechanisms of digital protectionism implemented through state industrial information systems, as well as their impact on public administration, industrial strategy, and social outcomes. The purpose of the study is to identify how digitalization transforms traditional protectionism and what instruments the state employs to regulate industry. The methodological basis of the research consists of concepts of the digital economy, theories of state regulation, and industrial policy. The information base of the study includes regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, strategic documents in the field of industrial digitalization, materials from the State Industrial Information System, as well as analytical reports from international organizations and scientific publications on the topic. The research method involves comparing theoretical concepts of digitalization, protectionism, and political technologies with practical cases of implementing such instruments in various countries. The results of the study allow for formulating recommendations to optimize digital protectionism and its application in public industrial governance. The conducted research leads to the conclusion that digitalization has become a key instrument of state protectionism, and the tools employed in this process enhance the governability of the industrial sector and contribute to ensuring the country’s technological sovereignty.

Relevance. Fundamentally new infrastructure and production solutions implemented in the Arctic macroregion can subsequently be scaled both in the subarctic regions and in the country as a whole, which determines the importance of analyzing Arctic projects, problems, decisions made and updates research into various aspects of the subject area.

Objective of the study: to study the content of Arctic projects (in the context of priority projects of development support zones), problems and digital solutions in their implementation. Research objectives: to characterize priority projects of development support zones; to study advanced cases of oil and gas companies of China and the Russian Federation in the field of artificial intelligence.

Research methods: systems approach, logical analysis, synthesis, content analysis of open sources, modeling. Results. The introduction of digital technologies in the implementation of Arctic resource projects consists in the preliminary application of intelligent equipment, the use of big data, machine learning and other IT technologies in the processing and analysis of data for exploration and development. The implementation of AI technologies in the resource industries has just begun and, despite the operational effect obtained, has not yet brought the desired large-scale results. The assessment of the effectiveness of Arctic investment projects should be based on a set of indicators of commercial, socio-economic and budgetary efficiency. The proposed conceptual model for assessing the economic efficiency of DT includes three levels of assessment depending on the maturity of the twin and the genesis of the formation of the economic effect. The maximum economic effect from the implementation of DT is achieved through the automation of decision-making, the integration of DT into production processes in real time and a significant reduction in total operating costs. Autonomous and cognitive DT of a high level of maturity provide management flexibility, a strategic increase in the value of the company and the ability to quickly respond to changes in the external environment.

This article analyzes the key directions of the transformation of the economic policy of the Russian Federation in the period 2022–2025, due to the changing geopolitical situation and the need to move from a liberal model to sovereign industrialization for the national security of the state. The issues of economic diversification, energy security, monetary and fiscal policy, as well as demographic policy as elements of national security, military might of the state and long-term economic growth are considered. Special attention is paid to military security and military-economic stability of the Russian Federation; strategic planning of the use of economic resources and preparation of the economy and the territory of the country for defense. Systemic problems related to high credit rates, fiscal burden on the real sector, raw materials and unequal export structure, as well as bureaucratic barriers for innovative producers in the defense industry are analyzed. The challenges related to import substitution, recycling, inflation measurement, migration policy, and the introduction of digital currencies are explored.

The article presents a brief description of the results of a study of various aspects of the economic security of business entities in the petrochemical complex. The study is aimed at solving the current scientific and practical problem of improving the theoretical basis and methodological tools for the development of the petrochemical complex.

The purpose of the work was to present threats and model the economic security of a business entity in the petrochemical complex.

During the study, the methods of observation, analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, hypothetical-deductive reasoning, methodological apparatuses of economic and mathematical modeling and optimization were used.

As a result of the study, based on the study of the practice of functioning of business entities in the petrochemical complex, modern threats to their economic security were identified. A conceptual economic and mathematical model of economic security of a business entity in the petrochemical complex has been developed, including a block for identifying threats and assessing their possible consequences, a block for developing measures to neutralize existing threats and ensure the economic security of a business entity, a block for monitoring and controlling the maintenance of economic security of a business entity.

The proposed model can be applied in the development and implementation of comprehensive strategies for the economic security of business entities in the petrochemical complex. Its use will help minimize risks and increase the security of industry business entities from threats, taking into account the principles of sustainable development. The cause-and-effect relationships described in the work should be taken into account when forming and implementing the policy for regulating the petrochemical complex.

The article considers the problems of ensuring economic security in the context of the introduction of digital technologies in the activities of enterprises and organizations and analyzes the various risks and threats associated with this process. The main tasks associated with the development and implementation of modern digital technologies and stimulating the innovative development of organizations from the standpoint of active development of the digital economy are studied. The emphasis is placed on the fact that at present, issues of studying the influence of the effects of the digital economy and directions for neutralizing its risks and threats are considered not only at the state level, but also at the level of individual economic entities. The need to introduce digital economy tools at the micro level is substantiated in terms of increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and organizations, which allows increasing the speed of customer service, improving the efficiency of the goods distribution process and providing a wide range of related services, which, in turn, is the key to the organization's demand in the market and ensures the necessary level of economic security. At the same time, in relation to modern economic conditions, the digital economy is considered not only as one of the factors for strengthening and ensuring the economic security of enterprises and organizations, but also as a subsystem of their digital security, which is an integral element of the comprehensive security of an economic entity, which, in addition, includes personnel, information, technical and technological, legal, environmental and other types of security. The essence and content of modern digital risks and threats are studied, and they are systematized according to a number of classification features, including by type of risk, by level of occurrence, by probability of risk occurrence, by rate of risk increase, by duration of impact, by degree of loss from risk impact. Attention is paid to the specifics of using digital security tools of organizations.

In the context of global changes and the complexity of socio-economic systems, making management decisions is becoming an increasingly challenging process. Digital transformation, which has become a key goal for the development of the Russian Federation until 2036, involves the automation of transactions and the implementation of technologies for processing large amounts of data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In particular, transport and logistics are priority sectors for the introduction of innovations, where the development of digital transport corridor ecosystems becomes an important element of infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to justify the need to take into account the system architecture, ongoing processes, solved problems, and applied models and optimization methods when making management decisions in the field of digital transport corridor design. To achieve the goal, based on the methodology of system analysis and risk management, the following tasks were identified: analysis of logistics technologies, taking into account the differences in information systems of the participating states in international transport and logistics projects and the level of digital maturity; risk diagnostics based on correlation, regression analysis, and simulation modeling, taking into account the conflicting interests of the participants. The study showed that digital transport corridors are considered as a mechanism for supporting management decisions that optimize the transportation process. The priority services for implementation in the ecosystem of digital transport corridors are those that directly affect the security, reliability, and adaptability of supply chains. The paper proposes services related to goods containing intellectual property, including those imported through parallel imports. In this case, the formation of a digital transport corridor ecosystem becomes a tool aimed at solving transport logistics problems. Therefore, when designing a digital transport corridor ecosystem and related services, it is necessary to focus on reducing potential risks and ensuring the adoption of correct management decisions in the field of sustainable logistics chains.

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of strategic directions for improving the quality of life of the population in the Arctic territories of the Republic of Karelia. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to develop an effective methodology for managing the development of Arctic territories in the context of modern geopolitical and socio-economic challenges. The purpose of the study is to develop strategic directions for improving the quality of life of the population in the Arctic territories of the Republic of Karelia. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach, including the analysis of sociodemographic, economic, environmental and infrastructure indicators of regional development. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of an integrated system of criteria for assessing the effectiveness of strategic development directions in the Arctic territories, including innovative elements such as: a climate module for assessing the impact of climate changes, an adaptive mechanism for adjusting management decisions, an integral index of the population’s quality of life, an early warning system for social risks, and a feedback mechanism with the population. The practical significance of the research is determined by the possibility of applying the developed methodology for monitoring the quality of life of the population, forecasting socio-economic processes, assessing the effectiveness of implemented programs, adjusting strategic development directions, and improving the quality of management decisions. The results obtained contribute to the development of theoretical and methodological foundations for managing the quality of life of the population in the Arctic territories and form a scientifically grounded base for developing effective strategic directions for regional development. The prospects of the approach are due to the possibility of scaling the developed methodology to other Arctic territories and its adaptability to changing conditions of regional development.

The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for the engineering of the process of implementing strategic management at enterprises of the real economy based on empirical experience and analysis of scientific and bibliographic content. The scientific novelty of this paper is the systematization of practice and the development of recommendations regarding the implementation of strategic management, in contrast to the widely covered process of strategy development. The author proposes to adopt engineering and reengineering of business processes as the methodological basis of the implementation process. The objectives of the paper are to substantiate the relevance of the topic, conduct a bibliographic review, systematize Russian and foreign experience (mistakes and problems) in the implementation of strategic management, develop practical recommendations for implementation, develop elements of a model apparatus for use in the process of implementing strategic management. The results are the developed cycle and component structure of strategic management, the scheme of identification and the role of corporate and business strategy in strategic management, the scheme of project and process management in the context of the implementation of strategic management, the determination of the main precedents and objects of this process, the enlarged stages of the process of implementing strategic management (hereinafter referred to as SM). The conclusions of the paper are the need to differentiate the corporate and business strategies of the company, the formation of separate process and project management apparatus, taking into account errors and risks from the practice of implementing strategic management, engineering the process of implementing strategic management with the construction of an object model, as well as the stages of implementation of this process. Further research will be devoted to improving the methodological framework for the implementation of SM in various industries, taking into account the scale of the business and the degree of maturity of its management system, as well as the systematization of practice in this area.

The goal: to identify the main strategic prospects for the development of the human resources of the health care systems of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

Objectives: to determine global trends in the development of health care in the field of its staffing, to identify the main trends in the development of health care at the national level, to determine the key social, economic and demographic trends and factors affecting the staffing of Russian health care in the regions of Russia and the corresponding patterns of the intensity of their manifestation.

Methodology: V. L. Kvint's methodology of strategizing, comparative and correlationregression analysis.

Results: The main strategic challenge is the lack of doctors and nurses against the backdrop of positive trends in improving the quality of medical services and effective digitalization.

An increase in the need for staffing of regional health care systems in the presence of objective difficulties in the reproduction of human resources has been revealed.

The strategic prospects for staffing healthcare in the regions continue to be significantly influenced by the insufficiently high level of culture of a healthy lifestyle of the population.

A significant disconnect between the needs for doctors and the levels of medical personnel is shown.

The main strategic prospects for the development of human resources in regional health care systems are related to increasing the level of competence of doctors and other medical workers through training in the use of modern technologies for diagnosis, treatment and communication with patients. The growing role of regional health care systems in promoting a healthy lifestyle and medical knowledge is extremely important, which is especially promising in the context of the continuing influence of social factors on the health of the population.

The article provides a theoretical justification for human potential as an independent object of strategizing within regional economics. The concept of strategizing is presented as a methodological foundation for a systematic understanding of the role of the individual in the socio-economic development of a region. The scientific problem addressed in the study lies in clarifying the categorical status of human potential and determining its place within the system of strategic priorities of regional development.

The aim. To identify the patterns in the evolution of scientific perspectives on human potential and to substantiate its strategic content within the management system of the regional economy.

Methods. The study employs structural-logical and comparative analysis, the evolutionary method of economic analysis, as well as elements of institutional and system analysis. The methodological framework is based on the concept of strategizing developed by Professor V. L. Kvint, which enables the examination of human potential as a strategic-level category shaping long-term goals and directions of regional socio-economic development. The applied methods enable the interpretation of human potential not only as a theoretical category but also as an element of the regional economic management system.

Results. The evolution of scientific approaches to human potential demonstrates a transition from economic and humanistic interpretations to its strategic conceptualization. Key scientific schools have been systematized, and their contributions and methodological features have been identified. It is shown that within the Russian school of strategizing, a theoretical model has been formed that incorporates the principles of goal-setting, trend-orientation, priority hierarchy and institutional integration.

Conclusions. Human potential functions as a system-forming element of regional economics, determining quality of life, innovative activity and the stability of socio-economic growth. The findings provide a theoretical basis for further development of the methodology of strategizing and for the creation of tools to assess human potential within regional development. Consequently, the inclusion of human potential in the management system of the regional economy enhances the strategic capacities of the region and provides a foundation for the development of managerial decisions.

In the context of the digital transformation of science and education, the widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence models functions both as a useful software solution that optimizes routine processes and large-scale data processing and as a source of new risks to the quality of scholarly communication, requiring managerial reflection. The article examines the phenomenon of fake bibliographic information arising from the use of such models in scholarly publishing practices. The study includes an analysis of terminological diversity and substantiates the use of the key concept of “confabulation”, as well as a review of Russian and international research.

Objective of the study is to analyze the causes, types, and consequences of generating unreliable bibliographic references and to determine the significance of the identified risks for managerial decision-making at both federal and institutional levels.

Methodology and Methods present the author’s approach to selecting and analyzing published Russian-language scholarly works, followed by verification of their bibliographic lists, and propose a typology of identified confabulations with justification for its application.

Results demonstrate increasing activity in the use of generated unreliable references across publications of various subject areas and types, including peer-reviewed journals. Key causes of confabulation are identified, related both to the functioning characteristics of generative models and to authors’ practices in using them. It is also shown that confabulated bibliographies can serve as an indicator of generated fragments within scholarly texts, which has direct implications for managing publication quality.

Conclusions confirm the need to move from declarative regulation toward comprehensive managerial solutions, including the development of institutional policies for the use of generative technologies, revision of scholarly quality control procedures, provision of access to up-to-date tools, and targeted development of competencies for responsible use of artificial intelligence among authors, editors, and academic managers.

Discussion highlights the risk of reproducing unreliable references through subsequent publications and the formation of “chains of dissemination” of false scholarly information. It emphasizes the need to consolidate research focused on detecting generated texts, with particular attention to bibliographic data, and proposes priority directions for administrative decisions. Finally, it draws attention to the lack of an organizational framework governing users' application of generative models.

In the context of the search for models of political stability in illiberal contexts, we conduct a comparative analysis of the sources of stability of the political systems of China and Turkey. The aim of the work is to identify and compare the institutional, ideological and social mechanisms that ensure their resilience to internal and external challenges. The scientific novelty lies in the application of a single analytical model with a quantitative assessment (stability scores) to two different types of authoritarian systems: institutional-ideocratic (PRC) and personalist-populist (Turkey), which allows a systematic comparison of their adaptation strategies. The methodology is based on comparative analysis with the synthesis of data from academic publications, official documents and opinion polls for the period 2020–2025. The main results show that the stability of China is based on the centralized institutions of the Chinese Communist Party, ideological synthesis, economic efficiency and suppression of the opposition, while the stability of Turkey is ensured by the concentration of power, tactical flexibility of the elites, appeal to conservative values and control over the security apparatus, but is subject to risks due to economic problems and social polarization. The limitation of the study is its retrospective and analytical nature, which does not allow empirical verification of cause-and-effect relationships.

In the context of the aggravation of socio-political turbulence caused by both global transformations of the international system and internal changes in the public management paradigm, there is an increasing need for theoretical and methodological understanding of the mechanisms of effective management of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONPOs), functioning as the most important agents of civil society and intermediaries between the population and government institutions. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify the specifics and develop recommendations for improving the management of SONPO in the context of the transformation of the socio-political environment, including institutional risks, legal restrictions, changes in the system of resource provision and communication interactions with authorities. The methodological basis of the research includes systemic and institutional approaches, elements of sociological analysis, which allowed for the complexity and validity of the conclusions reached. The analysis revealed the key problems of SONPO's management in the new conditions, including increased dependence on government funding, insufficient flexibility of organizational structures, and lack of stable communication channels with authorities and weak personnel stability. Based on the data obtained, a number of management recommendations have been developed, including the institutionalization of the project approach, digitalization of management processes, and development of strategic partnerships with businesses and authorities, as well as diversification of financial flows and advanced training of management personnel. The conclusions drawn emphasize the need to move from reactive management models to proactive strategies for adaptation, sustainability and development, which ensures increased effectiveness. And the social legitimacy of SONPO in the new socio-economic realities.
