S. V. Novikov A special division of the Police Department and its participation in political life of Russian Empire. 1900–1914 DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-2-21-29 The most important of the internal functions of the state is the preservation of peace and order in society. Usually, this function is implemented by the forces of the political police, the effectiveness of which depends on many factors. An analysis of the work of the Special Department of the Police Department in the period preceding the First World War and subsequent social upheavals allows us to draw the following conclusions. Individual figures of the department took steps to build a corporate system as a response of conservatives to socialist movements and organizations, creating controlled workers’ organizations. However, the police provocation quickly outgrew the struggle with socialist movements, and the highest ranks of the Special Department of the Police Department became participants in the confrontation of the elites, which negatively affected the protection of public order. Moreover, the agents of the Police Department actually served as a catalyst for the formation of militant organizations of revolutionary terrorists actively arranging political assassinations of statesmen. This work not only provoked political confrontation and intensified the development of the revolutionary movement, but also morally and materially disarmed police representatives. Keywords: Special Division of the Police Department, special services, political provocation, labor movement, zubatovism, corporatism. |

A. A. Plekhanov The activities of the Russian joint stock company «Manufacturing Company Singer» in Siberia on the eve and during the First World War: espionage or spy mania?

C. McGinn A Religion of hate/ trans. from Engl. V. A. Sergeeva DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-2-102-105 The essay examines universal hate as an alternative foundation to Christianity. According to McGinn, we should hate everyone, even those we love. It is that will enable us to avoid prejudice against individuals and groups who are not part of the inner circle of people for whom we have some sympathy. Hate is justified, natural to human and egalitarian. McGinn does not exclude love from the religion of hate. Emerging love in the background of basic universal hate becomes a more meaningful and valued feeling. Keywords: justice, moral behaviour, Christian love, catholic love, religion of hate. |

R. V. Cuhna Will i ever be a Cyborg?/ trans. from Engl. R. L. Kochnev DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-2-106-115 Eric Olson’s animalist view relies on the premise that person is not a fit candidate to be a substance concept, in Wiggins’s terminology. Instead, he claims, animal is what best serves as the answer to what we most fundamentally are and what determines our persistence conditions. Pro-posing a thought experiment concerning inorganic replacement, I aim to show that Olson’s animalist view cannot accommodate our very strong intuitions about such cases. My claim is then that animalism either fails on its own grounds or requires some tuning regarding what exactly an organism is and its persistence conditions. I will examine Matthew Liao’s attempt to accommodate such intuitions within an animalist view. I will also describe the basics about Olson’s animalist view but let us first look at the rough outline of my thought experiment. The essentials are as follows, the rest I will provide later, as we go along. Keywords: animalism, human animal, biological life, organism, inorganic replacement. |

A. E. Miller, d. O. Drozdov Development of the program for sustainability of technological development of an industrial enterprise DOI: 10.25206/2542-0488-2023-8-2-121-129 The article presents the results of a study of the conceptual foundations of the sustainability of technological development in the context of import substitution. The considered methodology of sustainability determines the purpose and key tasks, organizational and economic algorithm, methodological principles of technological development. The distinctive features of the proposed methodology include: systematization of typological factors of sustainability of technological development; justification of factors influencing the sustainability of technological development. The concept under consideration clarifies the key principles of the classical theory of sustainability of development, which make it possible to explore problem areas that hinder technological development. In the context of the actual implementation of the methodology of sustainability of technological development, a methodological approach to the choice of options for assessing the program of sustainability of technological development is justified. It is advisable to implement the proposed approach on the basis of quantitative indicators formed on the basis of displaying the qualitative certainty of innovation-oriented and progressive technologies. The advantage of the proposed approach is the substantiation of the typological sequence of the formation of the structure of the program of sustainability of technological development of an industrial enterprise. The advantages of the proposed approach include the possibility of specifying the estimated indicators and their impact on the sustainability of the technological development of an industrial enterprise: 1)the achievability of a quantitative assessment of the level of losses or the amount of profitability based on the selected option of the program of sustainability of technological development of an industrial enterprise; 2) the high possibility of detecting the factors of problematic situations that cause the need for their immediate leveling; 3) the potential for the formation of a real system process of integrating innovation-oriented and progressive technologies into the formation of the production and technological potential of industrial enterprises; 4) creating conditions for the development of optimal program and scenario options for the sustainability of technological development.
