In modern social knowledge, the idea of the role of the media in the self-regulation of society is urgent. There are various paradigms for considering the social significance of the media, within which they are viewed as an instrument of purposeful power influence on the social worldview, as an independent civil institution focused on the social cognition of society members, and, finally, as a mechanism for representing stable sociocultural concepts in the system of social communication.

This article examines the representation of the cultural identity of political science students within the discipline “Intercultural Communication” in several aspects (“I” - “Other”, group culture, discourse and pragmatics). The article emphasizes the need to rethink such concepts as “group culture”, “identity”, “political discourse” and “intercultural competence” for the development of cultural identity and the formation of intercultural communicative competence of future political scientists in accordance with modern realities.

The research data were collected from 25 students of the Political Science major studying in 2023-2024. Although the results of the study are not conclusive, they indicate that cultural identity dominates students' ethnocentric views and that stereotypes continue to influence the negotiation of identities in intercultural communication.

The religious sphere is one of the most difficult and the situation in it has a noticeable impact on other social spheres. As you know, atheism was the dominant ideology in Soviet society, but the situation in the confessional field changed dramatically with the proclamation in the late 80s of the last century of the principles of glasnost and democracy, liberal values, which, as the current situation in Russia shows, had more negative consequences than positive ones. From one extreme - the prohibition of religion and the proclamation of atheistic ideology - they moved to the other - the complete disregard of the processes taking place in the religious sphere. Naturally, this led to the rapid filling of the resulting vacuum with religious ideology, moreover, it can be argued that the confessional sphere began its "autonomous" functioning, not obeying secular laws. The article examines proselytism and attitudes towards it: the author's hypothesis suggests that proselytizing activities contribute to the formation of principles of religious tolerance in the mass consciousness. Empirical material testifies to the existence in the public consciousness of the overwhelming majority of the younger generation of Dagestanis of a positive attitude towards cohabitation with followers of another creed, while the transition to another creed dominates in terms of the totality of positions. In addition, a positive perception of proselytism prevails, with substantial arguments about the need to implement it without pressure and aggressive policies.

Tradition as a multidimensional phenomenon of folk life, synthetically expresses everyday perceptions that influence the political climate in society. The relationship between tradition and innovation in the context of the development of digital technologies as the basis of the communicative process should reach a new level and become part of the practice of political legitimization.

The relevance of the study of the partnership model of interaction between government elites and civil society and the problems of its formation in modern Russia is due to the fact that effective interaction between the state and civil society institutions can benefit both subjects under consideration and contribute to the progressive development of the country as a whole. The paper concludes that the optimal model of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions presupposes equality of the actors under consideration: here a strong state exists along with a strong civil society, and relations between them develop according to the type of partnership. The author emphasizes that the partnership model as a special type of interaction between the state and civil society assumes that public authorities do not seek to manage non- governmental organizations as basic structures of civil society, but, on the contrary, are focused on dialogue with NGOs, the widespread use of various "negotiation platforms" and other forms of civil dialogue. A significant obstacle to the formation of partnerships between the state and civil society, based on an equal dialogue between the government and the public, is the low level of prestige of the so-called public activity in the eyes of the vast majority of the country's population. The organization of effective interaction between public authorities and civil society structures in our country is hampered by the general attitude of the ruling political elite towards public associations, which is characterized by the desire of the authorities to exercise control over any initiatives emanating from citizens and their organizations.
