This article is devoted to the development of the social
aspects of the concept of "Friend" in Russian dating from
the 12th century. The article describes the main stages of
formation of the concept "Friend", states the social
aspects of its development, as well as their reflection in
the semantics of the Russian words. Based on the works
of authoritative linguists, we found out that the
conceptual sphere of language is undergoing changes,
depending on the social and historical factors – it may be
restricted, expanded, changed in its evaluation, the
disappearance of parts of concepts or even the whole
concepts may occur, which are naturally reflected in the
vocabulary of the language. In addition, such a
phenomenon as a change in the nominative density of the
concept can be observed, which is the loss of some of the
nominations and / or acquisition of new ones. The
considered concept "Friend" is defined in the article as a
non-parametric, non-regulatory, socio-specific concept,
which usage depends on the specifics of the society in
which it is used. The analysis of the concept "Friend"
usage based on the material of different literary,
documentary and historical sources showed that the social
sphere of functioning of the concept "Friend" from the
12th to the 20th century includes the sphere of generic
communication, non-blood everyday social contacts,
trade and other economic relations, warfare and
communication at the highest levels

The article focuses on the possibilities of application of the Computerized System-Cognitive Analysis (CSC-Analysis) and the “Eidos” Intellectual System for the Russian criminal discourse in its various aspects. In the work, the author shows some simultaneous ways to transfer information to the Initiated and hide it from others. The author distinguishes such public-key cryptography system from their background and proves its resistivity to modern cryptography methods. The New Thieves’ (Felons’) Law as a public-key cryptography system is based on asymmetric functions, works according to the Kerckhoffs’s law, uses accidental public keys and “knapsack trapdoors” (RSA algorithm and the Diffie-Hellman-Merkle Key-Exchange Protocol). The terms are used in this paper according to modern level of scientific knowledge. In the Russian criminal discourse, the mathematical principle for such system is called “The Russian Felony Idea”. A classical content-analysis applicable for other ways to hide transferred information in this paper is inconsistent for such cryptosystem. The author also suggests some ideas concerning further modifications of the “Eidos” Intellectual System to apply it sufficiently for such public-key cryptography system. Moreover, the author focuses on the problem of the New Thieves’ (Felons’) Law as Fait juridique
Features of musical culture in Russia during the Civil
War are considered in the article. The author analyzes
various musical genres, which have arisen during this
period, and emphasizes characteristics of musical song
creativity of that time. The involvement of song
creativity into realities of surrounding life was its
striking trait. It has been directly connected with
military-political opposition of 1917 developed in Russia
after October revolution. The author analyzes
similarities and distinctions, and also genre features in
song creativity of representatives of two militarypolitical
camps – the Reds (Bolsheviks and their
supporters) and the Whites (representatives of the antiBolshevist
movement). The author reveals their
characteristics and specifics of genre lyrics. The sources
of song creativity of the Civil War period were in thickly
national consciousness; and song creativity of those
years quite often had a wide national basis. At the same
time musical song creativity of representatives of two
military-political camps was crossed among themselves
as they belonged to one culture. Military-political
opponents quite often used the same songs, the same
genre features. Cultural communication between
representatives of different social groups and political
forces in the years of Civil War was not interrupted and
it was strong, despite all shocks
