In the conditions of modern development of digital technologies and informatization of society, the situation has developed in such a way that creative ideas become competitors of the real sector of the economy, forming commercial and consumer goals. The period of the spread of coronavirus infection and the isolation of the population around the world indicate the active promotion and profitability of creative ideas. In 2018, the UNESCO Global Report noted that many small enterprises, including creative ones, from developing countries face numerous problems in the process of integration into global export markets, unlike those countries that have access to such services (logistics for the delivery of goods abroad, knowledge of regulatory requirements regarding exports of importing countries, etc.), then by 2021 this situation began to change in a positive direction. The relevance of the development of creative industries is growing at a time of increasing economic development, globalization of the world economy and the erasure of national borders. The purpose of the article is to assess the current state of creative industries in Russia as one of the directions of the country’s strategic development. To achieve the goal, methods of analysis and comparison of international experience, systematization of statistical data were used. Based on the analysis of literary sources, experience and systematization of statistical data,
trends in the development of creative industries in Russia have been identified. Priority directions for the development of this sphere, which provides competitive advantages of the country in the context of globalization, have been identified. The problems of formation and development of the domestic market of creative industries in the Russian Federation are revealed and the ways of their solution are determined. The direction of further research is to focus on the formation of a holistic, unified system of indicators of creative industries, their comprehensive analysis taking into account foreign experience. This will make it possible to identify creative industries as a strategic vector of economic development and develop effective tools for their effective implementation and use, as well as appropriate regulatory and legal support.

Folklore and ethnographic tourism is able to satisfy tourist needs for recreation and help them learn the cultural characteristics of different peoples, while branded tours promote the cultural heritage of an ethnicity, increase attractiveness and popularity of a region. The tourist’s curiosity in relation to distinctive peoples and their culture is one of the strongest motives that induce tourists to choose trips that let people learn different traditions, rituals and try gastronomic dishes. As a result of the scientific research, we have designed a branded route on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan, based on the study of folklore and ethnographic resources of the region. As a pilot project, we have proposed a touris route — “North-Western necklace of Bashkiria” that includes learning the culture of peoples from various ethnic groups living on this territory, such as the Finno-Ugric groups (Mari-el, Udmurts), the Turkic group (Tatars, Bashkirs), as well as Slavic ethnic groups of peoples (Russians, Belarussians, Ukrainians).

Currently agglomerations are one of the most widespread forms of territorial organization of population, whose formation is determined by many socio-economic reasons: urbanization, pendulum migration, strengthening of inter-municipal and inter-regional relations, formation of new centres of economic activity and points of innovation growth, concentration of production capacities, the influence of transnational corporations, etc. However, uncontrolled intensive sprawl of agglomerations leads to the formation of many risks — economic, environmental, social, legal and managerial. This article deals with the study of agglomeration processes in Russia and a number of foreign countries. It considers the evolution of theoretical approaches of representatives of regional economic science in the context of research into the conceptual framework of agglomerations. The article provides examples of practical mechanisms of agglomeration processes regulation in the world. The author’s assessment of the impact and role of agglomerations on spatial and socio-economic development of the Russian Federation is given. The following research methods are applied: system approach, comparative analysis, content analysis, graphical method, statistical methods, methods of observation and modeling.

The anarchist movement was one of the most influential and active political forces operating in Russia during the revolutionary events of 1917–1922. Despite the interest of researchers in the history of Russian anarchism, even the most famous anarchist organizations at that time, their formation, activities, did not become the object of historians’ research. The document published by the author, the charter of the Union of Anarcho-Syndicalist-Communists of Moscow (SASK), reveals the ideological position and view of the leaders of this organization on the tactics, strategy, structure of the anarchist organization. SASK was a project aimed at consolidating anarchists-communist and anarcho-syndicalists who sought to find the most promising strategies in the conditions of the Bolshevik dictatorship and civil war.
