The article is devoted to the study of the monuments of
revolutions of 1917 in Russia. It is emphasized that from
the historical point of view, almost all monuments
represent the embodiment of the losses and sufferings of
humankind in various armed conflicts. This is especially
true for the revolutions of 1917, which changed the
entire modern history of the country, and even after 100
years cause a special interest both in the international
scientific community and among ordinary people. This
study specifies that after the final establishment and
approval of the Soviet government, the new government
realized that it was needed to create a certain basis,
namely, its political symbolism as a foundation for the
formation of image of the new government. The most
important component of this process was the desire of
the authorities to the formation of the ideas of the Soviet
people about themselves and their place in the world,
and, as a consequence, the folding of the foundations of
Soviet patriotism, because the new generation who had
no idea about the Russian Empire, began its life in the
country, which had an ideology, but just started to
develop the system of socialist values. The attention is
paid to the fact that the monuments are one of the
important elements of the historical and cultural
heritage, which reflected the past experience of
mankind, broadcast through architectural and sculptural
symbols to the present, which contributes not only to the
cultural enrichment of mankind, but also used by people
to influence worldviews contemporaries. The article
says that modern youth need to know the history of their
country, not to forget about the numerous victims of
various wars, to preserve peace and appreciate life

life during the above-mentioned period in the

This article presents the results of the content analysis
of the US National Security Strategies published in the
period 1991-2010. The emphasis is on identifying the
role of non-governmental organizations in building of
the US political strategy, as well as considering the
evolutionary path of NGOs during various presidential
administrations of the United States. The conclusion is
drawn that during the considered period nongovernmental
organizations became an integral part of
the US foreign policy doctrine. NGOs have become
one of the most important instruments of the "soft
power" of the United States, primarily with regard to
the spread of democratic foundations and civil society.
The results demonstrate the difference in approaches to
the "soft power" between the democratic and
republican administrations of the United States of
America
For some of the Eastern countries - Turkey, Iran,
China and Japan - XIX century passed under the sign
of reform. Studying these countries today is important
and relevant. Such an experience could be a tool for
analyzing the reform aspirations of modern mankind,

are determined by the trend of rapid economic and
technological progress. Hence, there is a certain
increase in interest of turkologists in recent years to
study reforms in Turkey deeply, especially the period
of the so-called "beneficent reforms" ( "Tanzimat-i
hayriye"), which lasted for more than thirty years -
from 1839 to 1876
In spite of the fact that the name of the district during its existence was changed (Western-Siberian, Omsk, Siberian), the authors accepted the name “the Siberian military district” for the benefit of the material representation. Chronological frameworks of the article cover the period from 1865 (the date of the creation of the Western-Siberian military district) to 1906 when the Siberian military district has been divided up into Omsk and Irkutsk districts. The article considers some features of active service in military units and institutions of the Siberian military district during 1865-1906, in view of condition diversity in Western Siberia. They are the features of the regional climate, the features of the officer personnel formation in the district, the features of its class structure (which is a source of replacement of the organized units’ staff, district subunits and a mobilization resource in case of the war beginning) and some organization issues of the military’s everyday life in Western Siberia. The authors pay a special attention to the problems of character training, the organization of the service arm and the troop training in the Siberian military district.

khanate and the departure of the part of the Volga
Kalmyks from South Russia to the borders of the
Jungar khanate at the beginning of the XVIII century.
The dramatic events of 1701–1702 which were caused

of Jungaria. This event which cardinally influenced on
the alignment of forces in the Oirat society
considerably weakened the Kalmyk khanate and
correspondingly increased the population size in the
Jungar khanate
