The article describes the methodological features of conversation analysis (CA) and a special understanding of sociology which is embedded in its program and reflected in the categories of observational science, radical empiricism, micro-interactions and “talk-in-interaction”. The interpretation of the concept of social order incorporated in the program of conversation analysis is presented. “Turn-taking” concept and “one speaker at a time” principle are discussed. They are shown to be crucial for the (re-)production of the local structure of a conversation. Finally, the article includes the overview of transcript preparation and analysis procedures developed in CA research.

Period 2019-2021 is characterized by an explosive growth in the number of labor protests in the Russian healthcare sector. Based on the materials of an empirical study, the article analyzes the social well-being of medics in the Rostov region, identifies the socio-economic and professional risks that are most disturbing to medical stuff, and also evaluates the protest activity.An empirical study included two stages. At the first stage, in October 2020 — February 2021, a series of 40 in-depth interviews was conducted with doctors and secondary medical personnel of public healthcare institutions in the Rostov region. The second stage — a mass questionnaire survey — was held in February — April 2022 using a stratified sample. In total, 402 representatives of senior medical personnel and 434 representatives of paramedical personnel of the Rostov region were interviewed.According to the results of the study, optimistic assessments of social well-being at the individual and group level are recorded: the medics of the Rostov region are satisfied with their health, living conditions, relationships with family members, and how life is in general. The financial situation of his family is assessed by medics as partially satisfactory. At the same time, a high degree of concern was revealed about the risk of increased neuropsychic stress and emotional burnout, an increase in the workload without an increase in wages, harm to health and job loss.At the same time, the medics of the Rostov region are ready to apply various strategies of adaptive behavior in the face of increasing risks and mainly demonstrate an attitude towards the peaceful resolution of problem situations in an administrative way (referring to the management of the medical institution for clarification). In case of violation of labor rights, they are ready to apply to the State Labor Inspectorate and the court, trusting trade unions and public organizations to a lesser extent. Appealing to the media in order to draw attention to the situation, participating in rallies and demonstrations, strikes — according to the results of a survey of respondents, the least popular course of action in case of violation of labor rights. Therefore, the protest potential of medics at the time of the study can be assessed as low, which characterizes, among other things, the normalization of relations in the healthcare sector in the Rostov region.

The article attempts to analyze informal practices at a late Soviet factory through the prism of the factory ethnographic project of the Soviet sociologist Andrei Alekseev, who in the 1980s. worked in the workshop of the Lenpoligraphmash plant. Based on the materials published as a result of the research project, a number of questions are raised: What is remarkable about the experience of the sociologist Andrey Alekseev? How does participant observation research help to study the organization of labor in a Soviet factory? Is it possible to say that informal practices in the work of workers were aimed only at “escaping” from the control of the factory administration, and autonomy at the workplace served solely to satisfy personal needs? The focus of the article is an informal practice, which the workshop workers called "partisanism" — the informal production of spare parts that are subsequently used not for personal purposes, but for the needs of production. It is argued that, firstly, contrary to the belief of researchers of Soviet labor, the ability of workers to act outside the field of view of the administration can be aimed not only at shirking and avoiding work, but also at building new ways of organizing labor, aimed, among other things, at management of collective planning obligations; secondly, Alekseev’s research project itself became “partisan”, since, on the one hand, it made it possible to explore and capture in detail the informal life of a Soviet enterprise shop in the 1980s, on the other hand, it became an alternative way to study Soviet society, a methodological and empirical initiative, an invention , but at the same time a contribution to the history of Soviet industrial sociology.

The article examines the impact of the reform of the route network “Magistral” in Moscow on the citizens-passengers. A qualitative analysis of the comments of citizens in social networks was carried out, and problems that residents faced during the reform were found: the cancellation of the usual routes, changes in the transfer system, the renaming of routes, the transfer of stops. Differences in the vision of the development of surface urban public transport between urban planners and public transport users are found. It is concluded that passengers were not familiar with the new transport paradigm, it seems to them illogical and not suitable for the pattern of habitual movements, as well as leading to the loss of the existing urban identity. The qualitative analysis revealed the desire of residents to preserve the history and memory of the place through numbering and route tracing.

The possibilities of post-Soviet industrial cities represent a vast potential for repurposing territories and reprogramming the original semantic codes. The article considers an attempt to repurpose through the creation of a creative space on the territory of one of the industrial enterprises in Naberezhnye Chelny, and the expression of the right to the city among urban activists.This article discusses various strategies for understanding the meanings of the formation of a creative urban space among activists. These strategies are considered on the example of the formation of a creative space in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny.The first strategy should be designated as a "creative city within a city". This strategy is conditioned by the understanding that the creative space in the city is considered as a certain historical symbol, as a symbol of the identity of the city, but at the same time created by analgia with the spaces of other cities and, therefore, associated with the organization of various cultural events and breaks in the context of everyday life; at the same time, the space itself is considered as a static and immobile object, developed according to certain scenarios.The second strategy considered in the study is the "border expansion strategy". In this situation, the creative space itself is a birthplace of new ideas and networks, represented by a hub, and in this case, the place itself contributes to the development of people involved in working in it.Thus, in the study, based on the consideration of a specific case, we analyzed how city activists build strategies for the transformation and development of the creative space of the territory of the former ZYAB plant and what meanings they invest in the development of this territory, how they position their right to the city.

This text is a summary of an online interview with gastrojournalist. The conceptual basis of the text is P. Bourdieu's concept of taste. On the one hand, taste was considered as a way of building symbolic boundaries between social groups, on the other hand, as a skill acquired by physical and mental training. Taste was correlated with food choice as interrelated components of behavior. Аgents of gastronomic discourse were identified as mediators for the audience in the process of demonstrating their social status, group, or ethnicity through food consumption. The interview showed the high importance of drawing a line between journalists and bloggers as agents of gastronomic discourse, as well as the non-triviality of this task due to the blurring of boundaries between these professional statuses. Knowledge, professional qualities, and skills necessary for functioning as an agent of discourse were taken as the main criteria for distinguishing between journalists and bloggers. What was said in the interview made it possible to conclude that the distinction between bloggers and journalists as professional statuses is accompanied by their coexistence as social roles — the revealed duality may be the main reason for the difficulty of formalizing the demarcation criteria. The criteria by which the agent of gastronomic discourse forms an idea of the audience were also discussed. The image of readers and the intentions of discourse agents are formulated, with the help of which the audience of various Internet platforms is influenced. The means of influencing the audience, which are available to agents of discourse, are mentioned. As a result, it was found that professionalism in a certain sense also serves to organize ideas about the audience and to determine the style of building interaction with it.

The article problematizes the existence of a gap between the concepts of urban safety and the feeling of safety in the city. Urban safety is usually understood as a low crime rate and protection from other external threats. At the same time, the feeling of safety is associated with individual experiences, social identity and other social and psychological factors. The lack of a sociological understanding of the feeling of safety is a problem for further study of the phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to solve this problem. At the beginning, an overview of the developments in the study of safety in sociological theory is given, which connects the concept of safety with the concepts of risk and trust. Further, safety is considered taking into account its socio-emotional characteristics. The role of space in the emotional experiences of individuals is described. As a result, a definition of urban safety is proposed as a feeling based on the spectrum of social emotions and expressed through specific discourse and social actions.

Oncological diseases are in a special focus of social policy programmes. They are multifactorial, attributable to individuals’ lifestyle, genetic predispositions, and the external environmental factors. In the Russian healthcare system, the attempts to build a model of individual rational responsibility of individuals for themselves and for their health were being made, while sufficient institutional conditions that would allow citizens to implement the patterns of self-preservation behavior of developed countries are not fully provided. The environment, being one of the systemic factors of health, depends on infrastructural, economic, political prerequisites. At the same time, it requires a proactive subject that uses structural opportunities to manifest one’s agency. Thus, using the example of oncological diseases and their link with the environmental conditions, we aim to identify individuals’ attitudes to health and agency in selfcare. Based on the theoretical premises of interconnection between structure and agency, this study addresses the justifications that individuals apply to their health-preservation practices and oncological risks in connection with the quality of the environment or lack thereof. We take Muscovites as an example since they are the residents of a metropolis who, on the one hand, are prone to greater environmental health risks, especially in the long term, but, on the other hand, have greater access to healthcare and diagnostics.Based on the materials of 39 in-depth interviews, we conclude that environmental conditions are perceived by Muscovites as a significant factor in health, however, currently, environmental risks are insufficiently perceived as individual responsibility and an encouragement for personal proactivity. We suggest that a refusal to take a proactive position about cancer risks due to environmental factors turns is a locally rational strategy of Muscovites. Thus, Muscovites are characterized by an industrial type of self-care, in which health has a utilitarian value and is considered a ‘price’ for the benefits of an urban lifestyle, for industrialization and self-realization. Yet, Muscovites, in our opinion, would be ready to respond to environmental institutional changes.
