According to the author, it is known from the history of mankind that rational relationships between members of society are necessary for the well-being of people, the  development of society. In order to maintain a stable state of society, the power structures of the state play a significant role, but spiritual factors, including religion, play a significant role in this process. But not in all countries of the Muslim world, especially in the Arab states, the tolerant quality of Islam is applied in interethnic and interfaith relations. Although, as  many believe, the Qur’an is sent down in Arabic, the hadiths are also in that language. However, people who speak Arabic do not fully comply with Islam’s demands for tolerance towards non-Arabic speakers in everyday and public life. The article substantiates these conclusions with examples from the public life of Middle Eastern countries. Based on the results of comparative analysis, the author concludes that in Uzbekistan, among the spiritual factors that served as the basis for ensuring and strengthening socio-political stability, the importance of Islam and its principle of tolerance are manifested at a special level. In theoretical and practical aspects the role of the principle of Islamic tolerance as  a  factor in ensuring and  strengthening socio-political stability of Uzbekistan is investigated.

The article presents the results of the study of some aspects of Internet communications and the constructed network identity of university freshmen as representatives of generation Z, or “digital youth”. The results of the study have shown that the majority of respondents do not make a big distinction between real and virtual self-presentation, try to adhere to socially approved images, act in the Web to a greater extent as a consumer of  content than as a creator. It was also found that the majority of the study participants pay attention to changes in the construction of their online identity over the past two years, and attribute this process to personal maturation and awareness of the dangers of the Internet. In the future, according to the authors, it seems interesting to focus further research in the field of regulatory mechanisms of behavior of digital youth on the Internet.

The article investigates the origins and evolution of the concept of “creative industries”, including its specific features, components of the concept and the main stimulating factors of development. Qualitative analysis of research, sociological, economic and culturological scientific works of Russian and foreign scientists studying creative industries indicates that since the emergence of prerequisites for the formation of the concept of “creative industries” and up to the present time, the concept has evolved significantly. Its  origins lie at  the  intersection of studies in economics, cultural studies and sociology. Not  only its  formulation in  the  legal field is changing, but also the composition of the involved industries and professions is changing. New methods of studying the parameters and  composition of  such industries are emerging. The author revealed that an important factor in  the evolution of  the concept of  “creative industries” is the growth of the number of professionals involved, and  as  a  result, new interrelated concepts of “creative class” and  “creative city” emerge. The latter point to the close interconnection of social, economic, political and cultural factors in the formation of creative industries as a phenomenon and as a concept. Studies in other fields such as cultural studies, economics, urban studies suggest significant changes in the composition, properties and issues in the field of creative industries after the COVID-19 pandemic and during the crisis. The results of the study showed that from a sociological perspective, the creative industries are under-researched.

The present article is devoted to the consideration of civil liability of information intermediaries as subjects of civil legal relations and their activities in Russia and  abroad. It is argued that in the modern world information has become one of the key resources influencing all spheres of society. The role of information intermediaries, which provide access to information, is becoming more and more significant. In modern society, with their direct participation the creation of information space, as well as influence on the  formation of public opinion takes place. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the activities of information intermediaries in Russia and abroad, taking into account their role in ensuring information security and protecting freedom of speech. The study reveals similarities and differences in the work of information intermediaries in different countries and assesses their impact on public development. The specific features of the work of information intermediaries in these or those states are shown, responsibility mechanisms for ensuring effective protection of information security and development of free information space are proposed. Based on  a  comparative analysis of the activities of information intermediaries in Russia and abroad, the authors conclude that it is necessary for the state to take a more active part in regulating and controlling the activities of information intermediaries. Their responsibility should be based on the principles of fairness, proportionality and protection of users’ rights, rather than on censorship and restrictions on freedom of speech.

The article presents the results of the research of the problem of differentiation of general and special grounds for challenging debtors’ transactions in bankruptcy cases. Based on the analysis of legal acts, materials of court practice and positions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the author has established specific features of law enforce ment of general and special (bankruptcy) grounds for challenging transactions of an insolvent debtor. On the example of judicial practice materials the article argues the author’s position that the problem of application in practice of these grounds remains relevant for the courts due to the fact that the legislation does not reveal sufficient criteria for differentiating these grounds. Despite the impossibility of applying general and special grounds simultaneously, cases of their joint use arise in court practice. These aspects give rise to legal uncertainty. In this connection, more detailed regulation of specific features and grounds for application of bankruptcy grounds for challenging a debtor’s transactions is required. Prospects of the present study consist in substantiation of proposals on introduction of amendments and additions to the Federal Law dated October 26, 2002 No. 127-FZ “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)” taking into account the analysis of judicial practice materials.

The article presents the results of the study of topical issues of the current situation of lawyers. On the example of such aspect of their activity as familiarization with the materials of the criminal case, it is shown that the mechanism of realization of this duty of  advocates needs improvement. The author sees as problematic the fact that advocates in practice face difficulties in gaining access to the materials of the criminal case, and the fact that access to the materials of the case can be obtained by advocates who do not have the appropriate grounds for this. As a solution to these problems, the author proposes the creation of an electronic database of criminal cases, since one of the key factors in  the  development of advocates’ activities in modern conditions is digitalization. In order to put this mechanism into practice, according to the author’s position, it is necessary to ensure information security in the advocate’s activity. Analysis of the Rules of Conduct for advocates on the Internet, approved by the Council of the Federal Chamber of Advocates of the Russian Federation, indicates that this document does not sufficiently reflect the aspects of information security. The article presents recommendations on making clarifications to the content of the principle of security in the context of advocates’ activities in the Internet, thanks to which conditions can be created for the safe use by advocates of the electronic database of criminal cases.
