| Summary/Abstract |
THE UNITED NATIONS Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) pays special attention to bioethical issues when considering the social and ethical challenges facing humanity [6]. Bioethics, as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge at the intersection of philosophy, law, medicine, sociology, political science, demographics, and cultural and religious studies, addresses moral aspects of people's attitudes toward life and death. It comprises a wide range of socioeconomic, ethical and legal issues on the assumption that human values must not be considered separately from biological facts, and strives to develop moral and ethical norms, requirements and principles, establishing mechanisms for using scientific and technological achievements to benefit people and nature.

MAKING the effective use of public diplomacy has for years been a keynote of all analytical studies devoted to soft power and its derivatives. Even though the concept of public diplomacy is clearly defined and has already entered the Russian political lexicon, the extent of its practical application is far behind the pace of scientific research and needs fleshing out in more detail. We believe that this can be ensured with the help of a person's social quality, such as creativity.

REMEMBER Pastor Schlag from the TV series "Seventeen Moments of Spring"? Remember when in the spring of 1945, the poor bloke played by Rostislav Plyatt stumbled on skis from Germany to Switzerland with only a hunch that the person who sent him there, Stirlitz, was not a German patriot but a Soviet intelligence officer?

IN DECEMBER 2018, an international forum, "Freedom of Journalism in the Context of Human Rights, New Technologies and International Information Security," took place in Pezinok, a suburb of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It was attended by more than 70 experts and members of the media from 12 countries. The forum was organized by Moscow State University, the International Affairs journal, the Russian Union of Journalists, and several foreign media outlets. Russian Ambassador to Slovakia Alexey Fedotov said in his welcoming remarks that Bratislava is perhaps the best venue for such international conferences, considering the high level of mutual understanding that exists between Russia and Slovakia, as well as common Slavic historical traditions.

ON NOVEMBER 11, 1918, the Armistice of Compiègne ended World War I in Europe; on October 30, 1918, the Armistice of Mudros ended the war between the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain. The talks that followed settled the Kurdish question and created a new postwar world order based on a system of treaties known as the Versailles system, of which the Treaty of Sevres signed in France on August 10, 1920 by the main Entente powers and Turkey was part. It specified, among other things, the principles and conditions on which the Kurds could acquire statehood.

IN THE PAST three or four years, a movement to ban "autonomous combat robots," which in Russia are called "lethal autonomous systems" (in Western literature, LAWS), has been gaining strength in the world but remains almost unnoticed in Russia. Their prohibition is being advocated by the nongovernmental organizations Stop Killer Robots, Article 36, the International Committee for Robot Arms Control; prominent business leaders like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak; Nobel laureates; scientists and programmers working in the field of artificial intelligence; and even entire corporations. Some believe that fully autonomous weapons will not be able to comply with International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and could create confusion when it comes to identifying individuals responsible for the illegal actions of robots. Others believe that even if "terminators" could one day perform "combat functions" more precisely and judiciously than human fighters, their autonomous use must still be prohibited in the interest of the highest values of human dignity.

THE OBSERVABLE HISTORY of humankind shows that it has on many occasions, for intrinsic or extrinsic reasons, teetered on the brink of destruction - and the same holds true for all living things and the planet itself. Long before the advent of the Apocalypse, people have feared for their lives and the fate of the Earth. Scientists have identified several such periods in history (like the extinction of the dinosaurs) when there could have been universal catastrophe. Now scientists acknowledge that we have entered a sixth period (starting in 1945, when nuclear weapons appeared and were used, and the Anthropocene era began).

| Summary/Abstract |
IN RECENT YEARS, the territory of the former Soviet Union has been the site of escalating East-West rivalry. On one side there are Euro-Atlantic bodies - the European Union and NATO. On the other there are the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), organizations active on former Soviet territory. This rivalry was made more intense by the crisis of 2013 and 2014 in Ukraine and the reunification of Crimea with Russia. The future nature of international relations in ex-Soviet territory and those in Europe as a whole largely depends on whether former Soviet republics will prioritize relations with the EU or activities in the EAEU format. For Moldova, this is a vital choice to make for historical (and geographical) reasons.

THE 1990s were a time of change for Chile. March 11, 1990 was the first day in office of the first democratically elected president in 17 years. Patricio Aylwin. Aylwin succeeded dictator Augusto Pinochet, who had ruled the country since 1973. Pinochet's Chile was generally ostracized by the international community. His radical right-wing regime was condemned by the Soviet Union and its allies. Most of them, including the Soviet Union, severed their diplomatic relations with Chile after the military coup of September 11, 1973, and the death of the overthrown president Salvador Allende. The majority of Western states denounced mass violations of human rights in Chile. A workgroup on Chile was established within the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, a measure that had no precedents in UN history and in effect represented condemnation, although indirect, of the Pinochet regime by the organization.1 Chile immediately became an international pariah, a country shunned by the Eastern bloc, the West and the Non-Aligned Movement alike.

International Affairs: Amid political and economic instability and the unpredictability of global markets, points and segments of cooperation where mutual understanding between countries and states remains at least at a staedy level are of special importance. Under these circumstances, cooperation is often driven by business corporations, whose operations are of strategic importance for national economies

THE POLITICAL PARTY LANDSCAPE of Germany has been undergoing serious changes recently. The picture used to be quite simple: There were two large "people's" parties, and there were two smaller parties, one of which would sometimes join one of the bigger parties in a government coalition; there also were regional parties that stayed out of federal politics; and sometimes there have been "grand coalitions" - alliances of the two large parties.

THE DYNAMICS of the hostilities in various parts of Syria over the past year suggest that large-scale armed fighting between the Syrian government - relying on its allies, especially Russia - and radical, extremist and openly terrorist groups with multinational personnel has by all appearances entered the final stage. However, clashes will presumably continue for some time after the military phase winds down, acquiring the character of a "guerrilla" war. In other words, Syria is still a long way from real peace.

IN THE COURSE of human history, democracy, a child of European Christian civilization, a form of individual involvement in political life of a state was changing - it lost some features and acquired new ones. Born in small Greek mono-cultural and mono-national republics, democracy today is functioning in fundamentally different contexts. The total population of the planet has practically reached the figure of 8 billion, and the latest means of communication, financial and banking system and international division of labor have made it more integrated than at any period in the past.

IN THE LAST DAYS of czarist autocracy, the public displayed a lot of interest in the future political organization of Russia. People addressed all political parties with "Down with Autocracy!" and "Long Live the Republic!" slogans and wanted all political parties in the center and the provinces to present clear programs of Russia's future state order and national construction.

IN 986-988 A.D., Grand Prince Vladimir decided the time had come to move away from worshipping many deities to choosing one God. Islam, religion of the Bulgars, who came first with their presentation, was rejected with the words: "Drinking is the joy of Rus." The embassy from Rome, likewise, failed; Khazars offered Judaism but it was also rejected for the simple reason that Russians and Khazars were locked in a life and death struggle. Vladimir chose Eastern Christianity presented by the embassy from Constantinople, which arrived when all others had already failed.
