Microchips implanted into the body could be one of the next steps in developing technology that reflects body health indicators, identifies people, and simplifies daily tasks. The COVID-19 pandemic and the vaccination against the virus have brought the phenomenon of microchip implantation to the forefront of media and consciousness. In the article we identify opinions about the functions and risks of RFID microchips based on interviews with Moscow residents (14 in-depth interviews conducted between March and April 2022). According to empirical data, the identification function aids a person in remembering all their documents, while the storage of medical information is genuinely helpful but rarely used in daily life. While carrying out routine tasks does not seem serious to the informants, it also enables them to fully appreciate the value of the microchip. Additionally, it was discovered that while some groups of informants considered health, privacy, and hacking risks to be important, they did not find physical robbery, inequality, or religious issues to be frightening or to be particularly significant.

This article examines the transformation of the urban environment of Balaklava, as part of the Balaklava district of Sevastopol, and its impact on the daily practices of citizens. Authors describe the perception of the reconstruction of Balaklava by local residents. In the course of the author's research (31 semi-structured interviews), it was found that the commercialization of urban spaces is taking place, which completely changes the type of city — from a closed military-industrial to an open tourist one. This is facilitated, among other things, by gentrification, which manifests itself in the gentrification of urban areas, the reconstruction of the city's waterfront and the adaptation of new spaces for tourism purposes. The everyday practices of citizens, which consist of professional duties, leisure and communication practices, are also undergoing changes, as they are influenced by urban space. In the course of the analysis, the informants were divided into three groups: dissatisfied, satisfied and indifferent, each of which has its own characteristics, but at the same time they all adapt to the changes that have occurred.

The article describes the methodological features of conducting sociological and anthropological qualitative field research in rural areas, in particular, it covers ways of fixing data for its conservation and further analytical work. The limitations imposed on the researcher by the field also affect the nature of the data collected during interviews and observations, which forces them to adhere to certain methods of systematization in order to prepare for further analysis. The article presents the methods of organizing field notes, highlights the stages of field records — fixation, primary systematization, organization of a field diary — when collecting qualitative data on sensitive topics for the preservation of the material and its future processing.

Architectural ruins in the context of the urban landscape carry many meanings and functions: they reflect changes in fashion, security, cultural values, and show the peculiar struggle of urbanization and the “recapture” of abandoned places by plants and animals. The article offers an analysis of the perception of architectural ruins in modern urban everyday life. Conceptualization is built through such functions and properties of urban ruins as providing a symbolic refuge for representatives of certain groups and symbolizing cultural trauma, i.e. trauma of a social group bound by a common culture and solidarity Based on the observations, the authors describe two cases: the ruins of the unfinished military camp “Olgino” in St. Petersburg and the ruins of the “Enthusiast” cinema in Moscow. Some recommendations are provided for researchers interested in studying urban ruins.

The field of urban planning in Russia (hereinafter — UP) is of particular interest for sociological analysis. By M.S. Larson, results of the activity of architects and town planners are not only material features, but also cultural, behavioral patterns which are inscribed in urban planning projects. In the last decade, professionals, city managers, and developers have faced new challenges related to the quality of the urban environment. The request for new approaches in the field of renovation of urban spaces was formulated both by professionals, representatives of civil, expert communities and grassroots groups, and by government authorities (within the framework of the federal project “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment”).The focus of this article is the analysis of “urbanistika” (=urban studies and practices) in Russia in 2008-2021, based on materials from expert interviews with professionals with experience in the field of urban planning. Key aspects of the transformation of UP that were identified during the analysis include: 1) marketization of UP, 2) the formation of an individualistic discourse, 3) the formation of a therapeutic discourse, 4) a communicative turn in UP, which is shown by the example of the emergence of new methods (participatory design and others methods aimed at taking into account the opinions of residents during the urban planning process), as well as the emergence of new actors (bloggers and urbanists) in urban discussions and projects.

The purpose of this article is to substantiate qualitative network analysis as a separate methodological approach to the study of relationships in the network. In this paper, I define the theoretical framework of the network approach as a whole, then I give a theoretical basis for qualitative network analysis. I designate theoretical concepts related to the study of the deep meanings of relationships in the network. The place of qualitative network analysis in network approaches is determined, among which two approaches to the division of methodologies are distinguished: the division into quantitative and qualitative methods and the division into quantitative, ego-network and qualitative network analysis. Next, I propose a systematization of network approaches at different levels, where network analysis of structures at the macro level, network analysis of subgroups at the meso level and ego-network analysis are distinguished, which can be both in the design of quantitative and qualitative research. The definition of qualitative network analysis is given, the main tasks of this methodology and examples of empirical research are proposed.
