The paper presents the author’s vision of the meaning behind the terms: “ethnos”, “ethnicity”, “nation”, “nationality” and the links between them. It is argued that the concepts of “nation” and “nationality” have a sociopolitical connotation, while the notions of “ethnos” and “ethnicity” have a sociocultural one. It is determined that the contemporary native population of St. Petersburg is multinational, but not multiethnic, as the culture it perpetuates on a daily basis is not of their cultural origin, but is built on the traditional Russian culture, including its language, historical and cultural heritage of the ethnic groups of Russia. The authentic multi-ethnicity in St. Petersburg exists due to the current of ethnic migrants from the neighboring countries. A content analysis of the modern media sources indicates that the topic of migration is rarely discussed both in professional and amateur environments. The published materials are scarce, uninformative and are not done for the purpose of creating a multi-ethnic identity of St. Petersburg.

Digitalization in the field of social services is causing changes in the forms of interaction between subjects and between subjects and information.

The article is devoted to the problem of protection of Russian citizens living and working in foreign countries, which is relevant in modern Russian jurisprudence. The deterioration of the international situation makes this topic even more relevant, since the rights of Russian citizens abroad are increasingly violated, and existing bilateral agreements are not being implemented. It is proposed to consider the problem of Russian citizens abroad in the complex of protection of group rights, which requires clarifying the concept of group rights, including categories of groups of citizens living in foreign countries, determining the legal status and characteristics of these groups. The creation of a single legal space for individual and group rights should create conditions for the activation of the state and the public’s activities for the legal protection of Russian citizens abroad, and support the cultural and economic ties of Russian diasporas with Russia.

The topic of the article is relevant due to changes in urban planning legislation. The new legislation is explained by the tasks set by the authorities of the Russian Federation to improve the quality of life, to ensure favorable living conditions and health of citizens of the Russian Federation. The new requirements for the development of territories in the Russian Federation provide not only for changing the procedure, but also for providing transport, social and other types of infrastructure during the construction of the object. A new concept in urban planning legislation — the activity of integrated and sustainable development of territories-entails a whole range of measures necessary for adoption not only by the authorities, but also in the design of the activities of construction companies. First of all, urban planning changes will affect such a legal act as the Rules of Land Use and Development. They will not only have to be structurally updated, but also adopted in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Construction companies are forced to coordinate the construction of an object, especially residential buildings, with organizations that regulate transport and social accessibility. Additional requirements for construction, imposed by modern urban planning legislation, will also entail a change in the price policy in the field of housing. The authors try to anticipate the pos sible legal consequences of the new changes in the legislation regulating urban planning legal relations.
