Aim. To identify how globalization generally influences the levels of the conceptual three-level model of the political process.

Methodology. The author has conceptualized the political process as a three-level model to focus on the analysis of the influence of the globalization process on the agent (micro-level), constitutive (meso-level) and metapolitical (macro-level) levels of the political process.

Results. It has been established that at the constitutive level of the political process globalization leads to changes in the system of institutions which lead to a process of institutional unification and a converse process of fragmentation. At the metapolitical level the process of globalization affects the sovereignty of the political system through the emergence of new supra-systemic players on the global stage.

Research implications. The conceptual model of the political process has been introduced, and the main trends in the development of the political process under globalization have been identified in relation to this model.

Aim. To identify Russia’s most important national interests in the new historical context in the key areas of its domestic and foreign policy.

Methodology. The theoretical aspects and core content of Russia’s national interests in the new political context are analyzed. The historical political method, the comparative method, the method of analysis and synthesis, and the multifaceted approach are applied.

Results. The study has demonstrated that Russia’s foreground national interests in the new political reality are economic, the realization of which forms the basic paradigm of the state and society, their sustainable development, and sovereignty. Strengthening the Russian welfare state guarantees internal stability and the unity of the state and society, while ideological guidelines based on traditional spiritual and moral values help shape Russia’s development strategy in the 21^st century. To represent itself as a global power Russia only needs to consider itself a priority area of its national interests. This area also includes adjacent territories where the Russian world is present in one way or another. By assuming leadership of this macroregion, Russia will remain a leading player in the new world order and will be able to effectively maintain peace on our planet. Everything stated above will help preserve the Russian state-civilization, the Russian nation-forming people, and other peoples of Russia in the new political reality.

Research implications. Uncovering the specific content of Russia’s fundamental national interests helps define our country’s development strategy in the new historical context, making a significant contribution to Russian political science.

Aim. To assess the influence of individual orthoepic manner on the reception of film translation.

Methodology. Linguistic comparative analysis and analysis of spoken language were key research methods. The author also used auxiliary linguistic method of contextual analysis and general scientific methods of targeted sampling, quantitative analysis, visualization and classification. This helped to reveal the facts of the individual orthoepic model of I. Gubanova, who voiced Miss Marple in the Russian dubbing of “Miss Marple.”

Results. The negative consequences of the individual orthoepic manner, dissonant with the mass pronunciation manner, in relation to units of foreign language onomasticon are proven; they destroy the film text unity and prevent immersing in the depicted world. The causes of discommunication, manifested as syncretism of the dynamics of the orthoepic norm of the Russian language, differences in the phonemic composition and graphics of the original and translation languages, are studied.

Research implications. The system of knowledge about film translation and the terminological apparatus are expanded. The need for dubbing script optimization is substantiated, and means for achieving it are proposed.

Aim. To study and analyze dissertation activity in linguistics in the USSR and Russia from the late of 20^th century to the first quarter of 21^st century. To identify main trends in linguistic research, priorities, and prospects.

Methodology. The main research methods include corpus-based, bibliometric, and quantitative analysis. These methods were applied to data from dissercat.com and a corpus of dissertation topics from several universities across the country, providing generalized analytical insights into the research potential of contemporary linguistic studies.

Results. The comparative analysis revealed trends in topic selection, highlighted the issue of declining theoretical significance of Cand. Sci. theses and outlined prospects for the development of theoretical and applied linguistics.

Research implications. The key findings of the analysis of recent research in linguistics are significant for understanding and addressing related challenges in the broader outline of the humanities.
