The article analyzes a memo from the head of the Shanghai branch of the General Military Union, General M. K. Dieterichs, to the leadership of the ROVS, which is practically unknown to domestic researchers. The document is kept in the collections of the Bakhmetyev Archive of Russian and Eastern European History and Culture at Columbia University. The text of the memo shows the discrepancy between the author’s realistic assessment of the international situation in the Far East, the situation in the Far Eastern regions of the USSR, where there was an increase in discontent with the activities of the Soviet government, as well as the state of White emigration in China and the presentation of the prospects of the anti-Soviet movement based on Dieterichs’ belief in the exclusively repressive and spiritually alien Russian people essence of Soviet power and readiness a significant part of the ordinary military emigration to sacrifice in the overthrow of the «Bolshevik yoke». In the end, this discrepancy had a negative impact on the course of the anti-Soviet struggle.

Based on an analysis of the activities of party and Komsomol organizations in the city of Omsk, the article shows the main directions and forms of mass political work carried out by local authorities to form the 75th Stalin volunteer separate rifle brigade of Omsk-Siberians. The author traces this activity from its beginning until the brigade was sent to the front. The study is conducted on the basis of a set of published and unpublished records of the Omsk city and regional committees of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the NKVD for the Omsk region and the memoirs of brigade veterans. It is carried out on the basis of a microhistorical approach, which made it possible to detail the features of mass political work in the process of forming a military unit during the Great Patriotic War. The article reveals the public mood of Omsk residents, which they demonstrated regarding the creation of a volunteer brigade. In conclusion, an assessment is made of the activities of party and Komsomol organizations in the city of Omsk and the most important principles of mass political work to form a brigade of Omsk-Siberians are formulated.

The article is devoted to the analysis of socio-economic methods to overcome youth unemployment in Omsk in the 1920s. Archival materials and regional periodicals are used as the main source base. The publication demonstrates the dependence of the nature of youth unemployment on the specifics of regional industry and analyzes the factors influencing employment dynamics. The author comes to the conclusion that limited material resources and the lack of high demand for qualified specialists made it difficult to solve the problem. At the same time, thanks to the increase in the number of adolescents in the vocational education system, it was possible to stabilize the situation with youth employment and improve their financial situation.

This article, based on memoirs, correspondence and works of political exiles, examines the specifics of medical practice and traditional medicine in the Tobolsk North at the end of the 19th century. The point of view of patients, the dynamics of relations between them and their attending physicians in the context of the harsh natural and climatic conditions of the North and a different sanitary and hygienic culture are analyzed. The problems of alcoholism of doctors, lack of medical personnel, the negative influence of local officials and the neglectful attitude of the tsarist government are studied. Based on historical sources, the features of traditional medicine, witchcraft and shamanism, their significance in the worldview of the local population are considered. In conclusion, the general state of health care and its importance in the daily life of political exiles, the role of provincial authorities in the system of political exile in the North of Western Siberia are assessed.

The article is a comprehensive study of the biography and scientific work of Evgeny Ivanovich Timonin. As part of the study of the biography, the author, actively relying on the poetic legacy of E. I. Timonin, publications in scientific journals and the press, restores the picture of rural life in Soviet Siberia in the 1920s and 1930s.

Later, E. I. Timonin’s studies at Tomsk State University, his contacts with teachers and front-line students, are studied. The author of the article pays great attention to the service of E. I. Timonin worked at the Ministry of State Security of the USSR, his work at the Beloyarsk seven-year school, Omsk Higher School of Militia. A serious volume of the article is devoted to the analysis of E. I. Timonin’s cooperation with the Omsk regional organization of the society «Knowledge» and work after the collapse of the USSR.

E. I. Timonin left 200 works on history and historiography, 10 monographs, 20 pamphlets and dozens of newspaper publications on the history of the region to future generations of historians. A more worthy monument to the historian-researcher could not be found. The article is intended to perpetuate the memory of E. I. Timonin, taking into account his centennial anniversary.

Donnellan’s distinction between referential and attributive uses of definite descriptions has two explanations — the semantic and the pragmatic one. A version of semantic explanations was outlined by Kaplan and elaborated in detail by Marti. They construe a referentially used definite description as a proper name in the Millian sense. In a recent paper, I showed that the evidence Kaplan–Marti theory relies on is inappropriate with respect to the standard case of referential use, which makes the pragmatic theory preferable. This paper is a continuation of the cited one. Here I examine a number of non-standard cases of referential use and demonstrate that, with respect to them, Kaplan–Marti theory has no advantage over the pragmatic account either.

In Anarchy, State, and Utopia, Robert Nozick made the argument that income redistribution violates the Kantian categorical imperative. Nozick’s retrospective enslavement argument is still used today in discussions about the moral justification of taxation. This article explicates four implicit premises of Nozick’s argument: the self-ownership principle, its fullness, the absence of restrictions on the appropriation of natural resources, and the absence of restrictions on the distribution of the fruits of cooperation. Without additional justification for each of these premises, Nozick’s argument cannot show that income redistribution violates the categorical imperative.

The article is a commentary on the work of Roman Kochnev Teletransporter and Other Troubles, which is a critical remark on the work of Alexey Kardash Teletransporter and Origami. First, the article reconstructs Kardash’s argument against survival in Parfit’s teletransporter, as well as Kochnev’s criticism. Next, the principle of mereorganic continuity proposed by Kardash is defended as a condition for the survival of the person. To answer Kochnev’s criticism, examples of stolen gametes are simulated, which demonstrate that mereorganic continuity is a detector of causal relationships necessary for the survival of the person. The article concludes by addressing the problem of the implicit dualism inherent in Parfitian views on survival in teletransporter.

At the heart of this study is the importance of understanding the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the context of an ever-changing global economy. Researchers’ interest in conceptualizing entrepreneurial ecosystems has begun to emerge in the last two decades. They are able to identify the key factors for a successful entrepreneurial ecosystem by drawing analogies to natural ecosystems. The study summarizes the most important research findings in this area, summarizing the key factors necessary for an ecosystem to be considered entrepreneurial, with significant economic, technological and social impact. The object of the study is the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which is considered as a complex system consisting of various interconnected elements, including entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, educational institutions and government agencies.

This study provides an overview of the entrepreneurial ecosystems of the world’s leading economies to identify their key characteristics and strengths. The structural elements, support mechanisms, and cultural factors that shape and differentiate these ecosystems are examined. The review aims to provide information that may be useful to policymakers, businesses and stakeholders. The goal is to, by understanding the nuances of each ecosystem, identify transferable best practices, promote cross-cultural collaboration, and contribute to a more sustainable and competitive domestic business environment. This review highlights the different characteristics of entrepreneurial ecosystems in India, the US and China to understand the intricacies that drive innovation and economic growth. As the global landscape continues to evolve, this review serves as a valuable resource for shaping policy, strengthening collaboration, and deepening the collective understanding of what facilitates successful entrepreneurship in diverse and dynamic contexts.

The study reveals the results of consideration of problematic issues reflecting the choice of scenario options for the sustainability of technological development of regional industrial complexes. The methodology of application of modular models under study provided an opportunity to identify the goal orientation and key aspects of the sustainability of technological development at the regional level. Among the specific features of the methodology under consideration, it is advisable to include: a set of parameters of technological development; substantiation of the essential features influencing the formation of a model of technological development of a regional industrial complex based on a scenario-modular approach. The considered features provide an opportunity to specify the fundamental principles of the classical theory of sustainable development in the context of insufficiently researched issues of the regional economy. In the process of methodological application of the methodology under consideration, a scenario-modular approach is justified, aimed at achieving the goals of sustainability of technological development and expressed in the formation of predictive scenarios of technological development based on local modules, various combinations of which allow synthesizing all possible scenarios. The advantages of the scenario-modular approach include: the achievability of standardization of technological development; identification of the integration nature of technological development; designing a predictive option for investing resources in technological development; substantiation of a scenario modular model. The given model makes it possible to: streamline the structure of products; systematize technological processes and management procedures.

The development of an organization operating in the field of high technologies must take into account modern approaches and methods for the formation and development of management personnel. This is true for both small businesses and large companies, especially those that produce complex products or operate in high-tech businesses. In such conditions, where there is high competition and strict requirements for management and organization of activities, the desire for continuous development and technological improvement is especially important. This article defines the main methods for managing the formation and development of IT management personnel in companies.

In modern-day conditions, organizations need to maintain a high standard of quality in order to meet the ever-growing demands of consumers. In this context, the relevance of implementing quality management systems among organizations is increasing over time. However, not all organizations are able to implement this system in their manufacturing facilities due to the complexity of the process. To solve this problem, an algorithm of quality management system implementation has been developed. This algorithm allows gradual implementation of the system in the organization, and this leads to business process optimization, allows organizations to maintain competitiveness and achieve success in a strategic perspective.
