Introduction. The relevance of this topic is due to the ambiguity of the course of modern educational processes in the context of the transformation of socio-cultural realities. The school as an educational and social institution is looking for new mechanisms of education and upbringing in a dynamically developing information, social and cultural space.
Materials and Methods. The sources for the study were both unpublished materials of the Central State Archive of the Republic of Mordovia and published documents, in particular, legislative acts of the Soviet government in the field of education. The theoretical strategy of the study was a sociocultural approach to the history of secondary school education, micro-educational phenomena were considered against the background of macro-educational processes. The school was studied as a social institution. The anthropological perspective of the study helped to reveal the features of behavioral strategies and relationships of specific people in the educational environment. The analysis was carried out within the framework of the “history of everyday life”, in the context of the “psychological reality of the past”.
Results and Discussion. The study showed that the features of school life were determined by the socio-cultural and ethno-cultural realities of the era: the official ideology, the traditional system of values and relationships between people in a multi-ethnic environment. The school was one of the important social institutions which carried out the continuity of generations and manifested social solidarity.
Conclusion. The Soviet school translated the norms and values of the socio-cultural system. It contributed to the socialization of children, preserved the traditions of the education based on values of labor, the family type of relationships between pupils and teachers, the continuity of generations and national traditions.

Introduction. The constructive image of a territory in the modern world determines its competitiveness and the possibility of various preferences in the form of subsidies from the federal center, investments from business, an increasing tourist flow, etc. Building the image is a complex process of interference of evolutionary and historical development and the existing background. The visual appearance of the regions and its transformation are associated with the images of the head/governor who acts both as the subject and the object of image-making.
Materials and Methods. The methodology was based on historical-evolutionary, axiological and hermeneutic approaches, comparative, systemic and structural-functional analysis. As an applied method, the Internet monitoring of regional media publications was performed for 2020–2021.
Results and Discussion. The article considers the evolution and continuity in the formation and promotion of the image of the head of the region at the present stage of development of the state and society. The role of the personified component in the regional image is shown. The Republic of Mordovia, which is in a state of transformation of power elites, was chosen for a case study. It analyzed the image types of the heads of the region from 1995 to 2020 were analyzed an image map of the Acting Head of the Republic of Mordovia A. A. Zdunov was compiled, within which the main lines of image person-positioning were studied, as well as the vectors of territory promotion updated by him.
Conclusion. The authors come to the conclusion that the image type “leader-firefighter” is being promoted in the Republic of Mordovia, which is demanded by the difficult socio-economic situation of the region. The expansion of the image is carried out by means of a type of “business executive”, due to belonging to the party of power and personal characteristics. There is also an active detuning from the image of the previous leaders of the region. In particular, the work on the formation of public opinion has been strengthened, information activity and prompt response to modern development challenges are demonstrated.

Introduction. The article deals with the content and semantic potential of the embodiment of the theme of nature which acquires the character of a mythologeme. It is the key in the motive-plot complex of the texts by G. A. Yushkov and I. G. Toropov, the leading prose writers of Komi of the turn of the XX–XXI centuries.
Materials and Methods. The material for the study was the prose by G. A. Yushkov and I. G. Toropov. The authors employ such research methods as historical and literary, comparative, typological.
Results and Discussion. In the work of Komi writers there are tendencies towards mythologization, which in general was typical for developing literatures and early written languages of the 1960s–1980s. This is probably due to the desire to monumentalize the traditional worldview, to emphasize the “irregularity” of modern development, which was the characteristics of the works by Yu. Shestalov, V. Sangi, A. Kim, Ch. Aitmatov.
Conclusion. The artistic prose of the second half of the XX century offers to look at the cultural features of the traditional worldview of Komi as part of the history of literature and to discover the patterns of mythological images, plots and motifs determined by the era, direction, individual style of writers.
Keywords: Komi national character, worldview of the Komi ethnos, mythologization of nature, pagan epoch, traditional worldview

Introduction. The article discusses the concept of “space” from the point of view of scientific, philosophical and linguistic concepts, describes the historical genesis of this phenomenon, starting from ancient philosophy and mythology to the present. Content characteristics of space in the works of famous philosophers and linguists are given. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe one of the main lexical means of representing the concept of “space”, in this case, verbs, on the basis of two distantly related languages Erzya and Finnish, to reveal common features in the expression of spatial relations in these languages.
Materials and Methods. The material of the study was illustrative examples obtained as a result of continuous and partial sampling from texts of various genre and functional styles, including print media, publications of a scientific and educational nature, various dialect and folklore texts included in the linguistic corpus KORP. The main research methods were synchronous and comparative analysis, as well as the method of descriptive and complex analysis of linguistic material.
Results and Discussion. One of the central means of conveying spatial relations in the Erzya and Finnish languages are verbs. Along with verbs that have the semantics of movement and location, spatial meanings can express verbs of various semantic groups, such as speaking, non-directional action, state, physical action. The classification of Erzya and Finnish verbs is given, built on the principle of semantic characteristics and including three groups, each of which is represented by two subgroups.
Conclusion. The study made it possible to reveal the scientific, philosophical and linguistic essence of the concept of space, taking into account historical processes, as well as to identify ways of its explication on the material of verbal lexemes that have spatial semantics in the Erzya and Finnish languages.
