The effectiveness of the cartoon teaching method is considered. The positive influence of interlingual subtitles on the study of a foreign language is analyzed and revealed. An exemplary algorithm for working with video material is presented. The planning of a lesson based on this method is described, as well as exemplary exercises for the development of skills in two foreign languages are considered.

The development of smart city technology is one of the most important areas today. However, the use of these technologies faces many problems, both: theoretical and practical, related to legal aspects. The legal regulation of intellectual technologies that help ensure public safety in the city is considered. A comparison is also made with foreign experience in this area and legal regulation problems of such technologies are identified.

The problems of diaspora lobbyism, historical significance and its development at the present time are considered. Nowadays, lobbying has become one of the most acute problems not only abroad, but also in the Russian Federation, as it has become the tool with which certain segments of society can defend their interests in public authorities. An important place is given to the analysis of the history of the emergence of lobbying and its main elements, as methods, means and technologies, as well as their relationship with each other.

We examine the Czech-Slovak Corps in 1917. The military and political forces of the Czech national liberation movement by the beginning of 1917 are analyzed. The assessment of the attempts of the Russian government to subjugate Czech societies in Russia is given. The reaction of Czech leaders to the February revolution is considered. Relationship between new government and Czech politicians in Russia is looked. The further development of Czech units and the creation of the Czech-Slovak Corps in the summer of 1917 have analyzed. The reasons for this decision have been studied, as well as the impact of the Battle of Zborov on this. Besides, the topic of the relations of Czech societies with the Bolsheviks and the reaction to the October Revolution is touched upon.

In this study the problem of the intercultural communication development in multicultural education is considered. A comparative analysis of Chinese and English idioms is carried out, their similarities and differences are revealed, grammatical, lexical and semantic features of their use are analyzed. The formation principles of idiomatic expressions are analyzed, which can be seen in their comparative analysis, and the results of their analysis are presented. With the help of frequency dictionaries, the frequency of use in speech of the expressions given in the examples is considered. It is found that not all idioms have equivalents, such idioms are rare. Most of the idioms have an analogue in which one or all words or graphemes are replaced. Another significant proportion of idioms is tracing (partial analogue), in which almost all elements are modified depending on the specifics of the languages and culture of the countries.

The Python programming language is currently the best tool for modeling complex physical processes. The most important application areas for Python are web development, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and process automation. In the last two, mathematical calculations and mapping of physical processes play a huge role. Artificial intelligence is one of the most popular examples of using the Python language, namely, working with neural networks, classifying images or speech messages. The analysis of audio data is carried out and various ways of processing sound files are considered.

The scientific heritage of A. Smith is studied. An attempt is made to interpret the most famous metaphor in economics – the “invisible hand”. An analysis of the contexts of using the “invisible hand” within the framework of A. Smith’s three scientific and philosophical works: “The Wealth of Nations”, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” and “The History of Astronomy” showed the possibility of multiple interpretations of the meaning of this metaphor. The authors do not claim that within the framework of this study they are able to give an exhaustive interpretation of the “invisible hand”. However, they hope that their speculations will supplement and enrich the ideas of the scientific community about A. Smith as an outstanding Scottish thinker.
