The article aims to reveal the understanding of war in Russian religious philosophical thought by Solovyov V., Dostoevsky F., Tolstoy L., Ern V., and others. It shows the contrasting views of Russian thinkers on war and its significance for the individual and society. War is a complex moral problem in Russian philosophy, and its very emergence coincided with a period of armed confrontation with Western European powers. Experiencing wars, Russian thinkers reflected on the historical destiny of Russia, on the moral preaching of the necessity of armed defense of the Motherland, on the Christian meaning of war, and on its dialectical contradictions.

This article is about how Euroscepticism has developed in modern Hungary. After the communist regime fell in Hungary, one of the new government’s top foreign policy priorities was to “reunite” Hungary with the rest of Europe. European integration was associated with modernization, the spread of Western values, and the establishment of a high standard of living in the country with European salaries and a stable economy. There was a unique consensus among the Hungarian political elite on the need for the country to join the European Union. However, after Hungary joined the European Union in 2004, the proportion of Hungarian citizens with a negative attitude towards the EU increased sharply. The reasons for the emergence of Euroscepticism in Hungary can be divided into pragmatic and ideological ones. After joining the EU, when economic expectations were not met, the disappointment of Hungarian citizens increased significantly. The 2008 economic crisis, which hit the Hungarian economy hard, also played a key role in the development of Euroscepticism. The EU’s ineffective crisis management provided fertile ground for the growth in popularity of Eurosceptics. Hungarian Eurosceptics oppose the EU because they are convinced that it threatens the country’s independence and pushes it towards “colonial” status.

The article deals with the specificity of Russia’s cultural and historical patrimony, which begins with a deep study of its Orthodox tradition. When we talk about the Orthodox culture of Russia, we mean not only the past, but also its modern state. The culture of modern Russia includes not only museum exhibits, vast book collections, and impressive architectural structures. Modern Russian culture is reflected in the language, observance of traditions, education system, respect for the older generation, priority of family values, patriotism and respect for other cultures and peoples.

The concept of “psychological tourism” is only beginning to gain popularity, mainly as a practical direction offered by travel agencies, individual psychological centers and event-organizations. Different interpretations of this concept, as a rule, are limited to the description of the content, without touching upon theoretical aspects and without providing a conceptual basis for this practice. The concept of “psychological tourism”, despite its apparent clarity, allows different interpretations: from a specific type of tourist activity to the field of psychological practice or their symbiosis. However, the characteristic features and specificity of PT, its methodological apparatus, mechanisms of therapeutic influence and its position in the system of psychological assistance require further elaboration. Within the framework of this article we intend to propose a working definition of “psychological tourism” as an applied tool of group psychological support, as well as to form a theoretical framework based on the integrative approach in psychology.

The conclusion of the Union Treaty on the formation of the USSR on December 30, 1922 at the first All-Union Congress of Soviets, which legally established the Soviet Union, was an important milestone that left a deep mark in world history.

Regardless of individual perceptions of its significance, the enormous impact of the USSR on the course of historical events and the future cannot be ignored, otherwise it would be a clear distortion of reality. In this article we will examine in a concise and understandable form the factors and conditions that led to the formation of this state.
