The article is devoted to the analysis of the main changes in alcohol consumption during the spread of coronavirus infection in Russia. The work is based on the results of an online survey of the urban working-age population aged 18–60+ (May-August 2020), as well as several waves of previous online studies (2009–2019) conducted by the Department of the Sociology of Deviant Behavior of the Federal Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The online surveys were accompanied by a secondary analysis of the available statistical and sociological data on the issues under study (Rosstat, Ministry of Health, VCIOM, the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE)), reflecting the indicators of alcohol consumption in various population groups. The paper examines what changes have occurred in patterns of drinking and everyday alcohol practices at the beginning of the pandemic (frequency and nature of alcohol consumption and intoxication, motives for consumption, attitudes towards alcohol) in different age and gender groups. It is shown that, despite the trend of the last ten years to reduce alcohol consumption, by the time of the pandemic, the alcohol situation in Russia remained tense. It was found that, although the pandemic did not lead to a widespread significant increase in alcohol consumption among the urban population, there were risk groups that increased alcohol consumption during the pandemic more than others. A number of social risk factors have been identified that have led to an increase in alcohol consumption in some populations. A number of social risk factors that have been catalysts for an increase in alcohol consumption in some population groups have been identified: 1) stress, 2) changes in social and material status, and 3) a high level of habitual alcohol consumption (the degree of alcoholization of an individual). The empirical data allows to make the following conclusions: although the pandemic has not led to a widespread significant increase in alcohol consumption among the urban population, there were risk groups that increased alcohol consumption during the pandemic more than others. The pandemic has intensified the negative trends of alcoholization of the urban population observed in the pre-pandemic period.

The article is devoted to the participants of volunteer programs of major sporting events that were implemented in the BRICS countries. The main attention in the text is given to the life priorities of volunteers, their idea of happiness. The empirical basis of the article is an online survey of volunteers who have experience of participating in programs to work with volunteers at major sporting events in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS countries). The survey was conducted from January to March 2022. 2,638 respondents took part in the study. Based on the results of a survey of volunteers, we determined that volunteers are more likely to set goals in life. Also, volunteers participating in major sporting events tend to make plans for the distant and near future. The most frequently mentioned priorities in life among the volunteers were: family; health; helping those in need; education and selfdevelopment. At the same time, more than half of the volunteers consider themselves unconditionally happy people, and consider their loved ones happy. For volunteers, often inner feelings are more important for understanding happiness. About half of the volunteers participating in major sporting events from the BRICS countries would like to devote more time to volunteering in the next three years.

The article is devoted to an overview analysis of the results of the research project “Social justice in ensuring the harmonization of interethnic relations and strengthening the all-Russian identity of the population in the South of Russia”, The data obtained during the work on the project are considered in the context of the problem of forming a unified all-Russian civic identity, which sets a specific angle for analyzing the responses of respondents reflecting the collective ideas of the population of the regions of Southern Russia about social justice. The specificity of the chosen approach to the study is determined by the fact that the study of ideas about justice in the mass consciousness is carried out through the prism of interethnic relations in the regions of Southern Russia, which makes it possible to identify and assess the state of the process of formation of all-Russian identity in ethnic groups living in the South of Russia, the presence and level of severity of interethnic contradictions. The author of the article shows, based on empirical data obtained in the course of the study, that interethnic relations in the southern regions of Russia currently have a generally positive character, the ethnic factor is not an object of politicization, in the representation of ethnic groups there are social opportunities and legal responsibility, which indicates the emerging priority of the emerging all-Russian civic identity in relation to ethno-group identities. At the same time, it is emphasized in the article, fairness in interethnic interactions is assessed by respondents mainly by the criterion of the absence of preferences from the local authorities in relation to a particular ethnic group when solving issues of everyday socio-economic life, creating equal opportunities for intergenerational reproduction and broadcasting of ethno-cultural identities.

The article, which consists of two parts, proposes approaches and principles for the analysis of the Russian state social security policy for working-age disabled people, based on the experience of welfare states, where the improvement of the effectiveness of assistance programs is consistent with the poverty and inequality reduction policies. The first part of the article examines trends in the reduction of social security availability. Based on data from the Russian Federation, Germany, the USA, the EU and the OECD for the period from 1995 to 2021, international comparisons were made in the change in the number of working-age persons with disabilities. Furthermore, the article explored the nature of the reduction in access to assistance programs as well as the preparedness for anti-crisis regulation: the expansion of guarantees during periods of unfavorable economic climate and growing demand for benefits. Based on data from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and Rosstat for the period from 2014 to 2020, trends in social security for working-age persons with disabilities were analysed: changes in the number by sex, age categories, regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the risks of not being enrolled in the assistance program.

The transition to mass digital education has aroused the interest of domestic and foreign researchers to discuss issues of the new educational reality and its impact on various aspects of higher education. This article joins this discussion. In particular, it examines the question of what happens to the social capital of students in the context of mass distance (online) learning. Following J. Coleman, the work analyzes the forms of social capital: trusting relationships and mutual obligations (mutual assistance), as well as group norms. In the latter case, we consider the self-determination of students as «students» or «non-students» as an indirect indicator. According to the study, online learning differs from offline learning regarding these forms of social capital. With online learning, level of student trust in fellow students and teachers decreases; they have fewer social contacts among them, to whom they can turn for help in matters of study and non-study. Students who self-identify as «non-students», as opposed to those who identify as «students», are less willing to build trusting relationships and networks of mutual assistance (mutual obligations) with fellow students and teachers. «Non-students» are more likely to study remotely, and they prefer online communication with teachers more. The general conclusion is that social capital decreases during online learning, which raises the question of the effectiveness of socialization of young people within this learning format.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the situation with health indicators Russians and the social determinants that determine it in comparison with the corresponding indicators of residents of European countries. The social determinants of health are understood as: personal income, psychological comfort and security, behavior in the field of health, life satisfaction, a sense of happiness, attitude to the health care system and the country’s economy, etc. Comparison of almost all determinants of Russians and Europeans (according to the ESS study) turns out to be in favor of the latter. Similar distributions are common for both the general population and adolescents in a similar European study (HBSC). Moreover, such a modification in relation to the Russian sample has been characteristic of these European studies for a number of years. At the same time, when considering the responses of Russians in the 12-year time range, both studies reveal a different situation – positive changes are observed in almost all parameters. This conclusion allows us to hope that with the increased attention of the Russian state to issues of health and social well-being, the corresponding indicators of Russians on the international background will become more positive and competitive. A direction of possible actions in this environment is proposed.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the social responsibility of Russian business to internal stakeholders in the force majeure paradigm of the coronavirus pandemic. The article shows how the domestic business was socially responsible in preserving its enterprises and jobs, in maintaining the level of remuneration of employees. In addition, the article analyzes the level of social responsibility of business (SOB) and in a number of new areas that emerged during the pandemic, namely: responsibility for ensuring epidemiological safety in the workplace, for vaccination of employees, for the organization of remote workplaces, for the application of new managerial solutions in online working conditions, for maintaining a favorable working environment. climate change in the absence of the possibility of employees working face-to-face, etc. Noting that business as a whole has shown and is showing social responsibility to internal stakeholders during the pandemic, the author notes that in some aspects it is clearly insufficient. Thus, the efforts of business to retain highly qualified personnel, maintain the level of remuneration, to bridge the wage gap between managers and employees, to agitate employees for vaccination, etc. were insufficient.

The social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia is the most important condition for ensuring its well-being, vitality, stability of daily life, creating conditions for the realization of socioeconomic potential in the interests of Russia and Armenia. However, despite the attention to the study of various aspects of its functioning as an ethnocultural and ethnopolitical phenomenon, this problem has remained outside the Russian scientific discourse. The purpose of the article is to show the mechanisms of formation of cohesion, social ties, altruistic behavior, to reveal the forms of exchange, interaction, cooperation in the interests of meeting the needs of members of the Armenian Diaspora as a way of capitalizing trust based on similarity of interests and awareness of oneself as a special ethnic group. The methodology of studying the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia is determined by the specifics of the subject under study, the author’s research approach to measuring this phenomenon, the purpose of the study, as well as the theoretical constructs of social cohesion that allow us to articulate the results more clearly. The methodological strategy includes a questionnaire survey of 1,273 members of the Armenian Diaspora in the Moscow agglomeration, Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories. The article proposes a multidimensional model for assessing the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, representing a system of criteria characterizing its essential features, which includes subjective representations and behavioral aspects of mutual assistance and interaction of diaspora members. Based on the analysis of empirical data on the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, four groups are identified: the central one is the most numerous, representing a cohesive core, the peripheral one is a group of the alienated, a group of undecided in assessing the degree of cohesion of the Armenian diaspora and marginals. Measuring the cohesion of the diaspora based on the material of quantitative empirical research is difficult and has limitations. However, it allows avoiding the subjectivity of the conclusions of studies conducted on small samples, clarifying not only the state, but also the causes and consequences, which is productive for assessing the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora.

However, it allows avoiding the subjectivity of the conclusions of studies conducted on small samples, clarifying not only the state, but also the causes and consequences, which is productive for assessing the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora.","PeriodicalId":140749,"journal":{"name":"Sociologicheskaja nauka i social'naja praktika","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132320182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article considers the phenomenon of “cognitive resistance” as individuals’ blocking of certain behavior that is stimulated by means of communicative influence on them. This phenomenon can be observed in relation to influences that are perceived by addressees as manipulation. The article presents the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which was to test the hypothesis of the presence of such resistance. The method of a survey experiment of the “split ballot” type was used. During the public opinion poll one group was offered informational materials about vaccination against COVID-19, allegedly coming from government agencies, the other group – the same materials, but allegedly coming from a private person. Comparison of the results showed that the respondents of the first group experienced a significantly higher level of distrust of the source’s motives, more actively sought to find a refutation of the information they offered, and worsened their attitude to vaccination instead of improving it. Thus, the study confirms the existence of the phenomenon of cognitive resistance in Russian society on the example of the situation with vaccination against COVID-19, and shows that the reason for this cognitive resistance is probably the attribution of hostile motives to the state.
