DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
The relevance of this study is due to the transformations of the reproductive behavior of modern youth, the extreme complexity and inconsistency of the student life in terms of the taking on maternal role by a young woman, as well as insufficient knowledge of self-understanding as a factor influencing the attitude towards future maternal roles among female university students.
The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the attitude towards future functional parental roles of female university students with different levels of self-understanding. The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted based on Chelyabinsk, Surgut, Perm and Tambov State Universities. Eighty-four unmarried, childless, full-time female students participated in the study. The “Methodology of self-attitude research” by V. V. Stolin and S. R. Pantileev, the questionnaire “My future parental roles” by E. N. Vasilyeva and A. V. Orlov, and clinical conversation were applied. The researchers performed a statistical analysis using the F-test. The results show that the attitude of the surveyed female students towards their future maternal role is positive. Preferred roles include the roles of the mother as a subject of communication for the child (friend, inspirer, protector, sympathizer), and the roles of the mother as a subject of his education and upbringing (authority, educator). At the same time, in comparison with students with an average level of self-understanding, students with a low level of self-understanding have the following features regarding their own future maternal roles: an increase in the subjective significance of the roles of “educator”, “protector”, “leader” and a decrease in the subjective significance of the roles of “authority”, “inspirer”, “unifier”, “aesthete”. The university’s psychological department specialists are the intended audience for this article
The article analyzes the correlation between self-perception and psychological well-being in
young women aged 20–35 living in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. The study involved 50 women with different marital status, education level, and employment. The results showed that psychological wellbeing of young women is at a low and average level. The majority of respondents have difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships, as well as in defining life goals. Half of the study participants demonstrated an average level of life satisfaction, and one third demonstrated a high level. Analysis of self-perception components shows that respondents have different levels of motivation for social approval, self-confidence, self-acceptance and other aspects of self-perception correlat ing with psychological well-being. The identification of three groups of women, depending on the severity of the anxiety level about their physical appearance, allowed us to determine the specifics of these correlations. The study emphasizes the importance of studying the factors influencing self-perception and psychological well-being of young women. The results may be useful for the development of programs to improve self-efficacy and psychological well-being of this age group.
RUSSIAN HISTORY
Public mood has always played a significant role and continues to influence public policy in a number of countries to this day. In addition, the state power has leverage on the mood of the society to incline it to a certain way of action to achieve its goals. One of the most significant measures of the Soviet authorities in the post-revolutionary years in breaking the old foundations was the policy of seizure of church property. With their authority firmly established and peasant uprisings posing a significant threat, the Bolsheviks leveraged the widespread famine of 1921–1922 to further their objectives, notably the elimination of ideological opponents such as the Russian Orthodox Church. Patriarch Tikhon called on the clergy to give to the state church valuables that had no liturgical use. In reality, the Bolsheviks seized all valuables from the churches, and the issue of seizure became a stumbling block not only between the authorities and the church, but also among the clergy and society. The policy of the authorities concerning the appropriation of church assets is examined in this article, with Western Siberia providing a specific example. The article further investigates the responses of the peasantry, workers, and clergy, including two Siberian bishops, Irinarkh (Sineokov-Andreevsky) and Nikolay (Pokrovsky).
The author concludes that the authorities’ policy towards the Church was purposefully destructive, and that there was a certain polarization of the entire society, including the clergy itself, in relation to the seizure of church valuables.
Authorities declared 2025 the year of Historical Heritage in Yugra. Yugra’s historical and cultural heritage is characterized by a significant prevalence of archaeological and ethno-cultural objects over architectural and monumental art. The relevance of the article is determined by the need for scientific
comprehension of the formation and development of interaction between the state and society on the study and protection of an archaeological heritage of the peoples of Russia in regional specifics of the North of Western Siberia in contemporary history. The article uses the example of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug to examine the processes of formation of regional bodies for the protection of the cultural heritage of Yugra as an independent region of the Russian Federation in the context of the collapse of the USSR.
The aim of the article is to consider the processes of formation of regional institutions for the implementation of the state policy of cultural heritage protection in the conditions of transformation of legislation of archaeological research in the early 1990s on the example of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
The author defines the main trends in the development of state-legal regulation of archaeological research in the early 1990s. Using the example of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug as a new region of the Russian Federation, the author reveals the essence of the processes of institutionalisation of cultural heritage protection, which involves the search for new forms of interaction between public authorities and society on the issues of historical and cultural heritage protection. Specialists of the state bodies responsible for the protection of cultural heritage, historians and archaeologists are targeted audience of the article.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL PHYSICAL TRAINING
The article’s relevance stems from the significance of gender identity in modern education; it allows differentiating class organization approaches, exercise and game selection corresponding to boys’ and girls’ interests and abilities, contributing to the child’s physical and psycho-emotional development. The aim is to experimentally prove that a gender-based approach improves pupils’ physical fitness within a preschool’s sports orientation program. The following methods were used in the process of work: 1) physical abilities testing with the use of test trials based on the All-Russian Physical Education and Sports Complex “Ready for Labour and Defence” (Gotov k trudu i oborone); 2) statistical and mathematical processing of data by calculating the average value, average error, Student’s t-test, calculation of the increment of indicators. The analysis of results allowed us to conclude about the effectiveness of the implemented program on sports orientation regarding gender differences in the process of physical education. The effectiveness is conditioned precisely by the aspect of physical fitness. The article is intended for specialists in physical education and sport, in particular for educators who organize the process of physical education in the preschool educational institution.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the volume and intensity of student-choreographers’ motor activity during educational process at different time intervals in order to provide further corrective methods for the organization of physical education in the course of their professional training. We present the general characteristics of educational process specificity based on modern research. This study substantiates the importance of motor activity assessment for improving the physical education system of student-choreographers through choreographic training. The object of the study is the educational process of student-choreographers in the university, with consideration of its specificity. The review of scientific and specialized literature allowed us to determine the modern understanding of the student’s professional activity in the future, and to reveal the peculiarities of training for the student of creative direction. Pedagogical observation and pedagogical experiment, questionnaire survey, statistical methods of data processing are the primary methods of research subject. The pedagogical experiment involved the evaluation of the volume and intensity of motor activity using an electronic pedometer during the period of training. At the first stage the assessment was made during one lesson, 1.5 hours, and at the second stage during academic day. The subjects were asked to record data daily, which allowed identifying the physical load of studentchoreographers while at the university. The results show that the average student-choreographer performs almost the daily volume of physical activity necessary for a human. Such data allow us to substantiate the need for further research in the trajectory of developing corrective plans within the framework of the discipline “Professional and Applied Physical Training: Choreographic Training”, the basis of which will be the development of a multi-component methodology for physical training of student-choreographers, having recreational and specially oriented physical focus.
The relevance of the article is determined by the need to develop an integrative approach and a model for students’ motivation for independent physical training. One of the important steps towards such a model is the study of different types and levels of motivation for independence. The purpose of the article is to make a typological analysis of the motivation for independent physical training in students of various fields of professional training, to identify and study the differences between student groups with different motivations of independence. The authors reveal the essence of different types of motivation of students for independent physical training, which includes the peculiarities of formation, functioning, development and destruction of their needs and desires in relation to physical training and, health protection. The study categorized approaches to independent training motivation and motives, offered recommendations, and highlighted the most productive research directions. This study proves that modern students across various professional groups lack harmonious and sufficiently developed motivation for independent physical training. The mainpart of students is passive (demotivated). External and internal social motives become predominant for independent exercises, as well as academic studies. Only some students are regularly engaged in physical training, based on the motives of health protection and personal improvement. It indicates the need for a systematic work of teaching staff and specialists of educational support services regarding the motivation development of health protection and personal improvement of students.

This article examines the phenomenon of professional deprivation among contemporary university students, characterized by reduced motivation to study, diminished interest in the chosen specialty, and the absence of clear professional growth prospects. The purpose of the study is to identify the essence,
structure, and prevention mechanisms of this phenomenon. To achieve this goal, the research employed a com prehensive methodological approach, including a theoretical analysis of scholarly works, a survey of 520 students from various fields of study, and focus group interviews with academic staff. Factor analysis reveals that professional deprivation stems from the interplay of personal-motivational, psychosocial, and organizationaleducational factors. The scientific novelty of the work is the systematic description of the interaction between these components and the substantiation of the need for a comprehensive prevention strategy, targeting several levels of the educational environment simultaneously. The authors emphasize combined pedagogical, psychological,
and organizational approaches as effective ways of mitigating deprivation risks and improving student
engagement in academic and professional activities. The findings could be used to guide the development of wide-ranging student support programs and enhance the monitoring of adverse university conditions.
