Morphological and syntactic properties of the conjunction that...that
In modern realities, interest in Russian as a foreign language is growing due to the strengthening of Russia in the international arena, the elevation of its status in the sphere of politics, economics, science and technology. Foreign students want to study in Russia, global business tends to move closer to Russian enterprises, and accordingly, the Russian language is gradually acquiring international status.
It is worth noting that the Russian language is multifaceted, interesting, beautiful, but one of the most difficult languages in the world. Its inflectional nature, as well as an extensive system of cases, synonymous-antonymic paradigms and tropes makes it extremely difficult for a foreign listener to understand. In addition, the variety of unions is also difficult material for foreigners who want to master the Russian language at a high professional level.
The relevance of this article lies in the urgent need to study the morphological and syntactic characteristics of conjunctions for a better perception of Russian-language material by foreign students.
The subject of the study is the conjunction that...that in the Russian language.
The object of the work is the morphological and syntactic characteristics of the conjunction that...that.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the qualitative description of the above characteristics of the union that...that for a better perception of the material by foreign listeners.
The practical significance of the work is represented by the possibility of using the work materials in the academic process of teaching foreigners the Russian language.
Key words: conjunctions, morphological-syntactic characteristics, speech, foreign listeners, perception, assimilation, paradigm, development.

On the issue of dialectal dictionaries
In the modern world, learning a language is one of the most important tasks. However, when studying linguistic material, we are faced with the problem of understanding its meaning and context. There is a need to create tools that will help us more deeply understand language and its dialectal features.
Dialectal dictionaries are a special type of lexicographic reference books that include terms and definitions related to dialectology, which provides linguistic features depending on the region of operation of a particular language. The issue of dialectal dictionaries is relevant and interesting, since they represent a tool for understanding and analyzing complex and contradictory phenomena in various areas of linguistic knowledge, thus being a solution for a deeper study of language. In this paper we will consider the issue of dialectal dictionaries and their role in language learning.
The relevance of the study lies in the growing interest to languages and their dialects, the peculiarities of their functioning in the context of language systems, as well as in the description of all linguistic features in dialectal dictionaries.
The subject of the study is dialectal dictionaries, their features and purpose.
The novelty of the work lies in the description of the formation of such dictionaries in a comparative manner, their historical development, and purpose in modern realities.
The practical significance of the study is represented by the possibility of using the material and recommendations specified in the work in the educational process and research practices.
Key words: dialectal dictionary, dialectology, comparison, history, linguistic categories, development.

Digital technologies in teaching humanities disciplines
The article discusses the term "digital technologies". The authors conclude that information technologies in modern education can be considered "a fundamental moment in the teaching of social and humanitarian disciplines, since they improve the quality of education, as well as reduce the time spent studying these disciplines." The authors are convinced that teaching disciplines of the humanities cycle is an important part of those processes that lead to the formation of a cultural structure in the social potential as an educational institution.
The authors came to the conclusion that modern IT technologies contribute to the emergence of new directions in humanitarian education. This process meets the requirements of modern education, where everyone must not only possess knowledge, but also acquire it independently. The process of informatization is the main mechanism that allows us to implement a new educational model in humanitarian education. We can conclude that IT technologies occupy a significant place in modern humanitarian education, which is manifested in the appearance of software products, the acquisition by students of modern tools that contribute to improving the quality of research in the field of humanities.

From the history of research of semantic types of predicate
In the modern world, linguistic semantics is represented by different movements and schools. It seems important to synthesize and harmonize various approaches and compare various methods and techniques. A significant role in this issue is given to the identification of semantic categories and ways of expressing them in a particular language. But the structure of the content of these categories, their status in language and the role of speech and mental activity have not yet been sufficiently studied. Issues of the semantic category are constantly in the attention of philologists. However, as far as we know, there are no fundamental studies on this topic.
Key words: active grammar, productive speech acts, onomasiological approach, Russian as a foreign language, positive meanings, proposition.

Semantic universals and specific national features of phraseological units with the component “soul” and “heart” in French, English and Russian
The article examines a variety of phraseological units that not only contribute to increasing the vocabulary of words in a foreign language, but are also a means of expanding the linguistic and cultural horizons of students. The purpose of this work was to study the corpus of phraseological units with the component “soul” and “heart” in different languages and to develop a step-by-step algorithm for teaching this phenomenon to students. The work emphasizes the important idea that the national-cultural plan of phraseological units of the Russian, French and English languages, facilitates the process of mastering background knowledge of the country of the language being studied, its history and culture, and also allows us to determine the universal and nationally specific features of phraseology. The method of comparative analysis of the semantics of phraseological units makes it possible to identify linguistic and extralinguistic reasons for the similarities and differences of phraseological units in different linguistic cultures.
Key words: phraseological units, method of comparative analysis, extralinguistic reasons, semantic universals, linguistic and cultural horizons of students.

The USA and EU: ordeal by bananas (glimpses of the history of American-European trade conflicts)
American-European trade clashes are an inseparable part of transatlantic relations due to the permanent economic competition between Washington and Brussels. Using as an example “banana wars” which lasted fifteen years (1994-2009) and were linked to the EU discriminatory tariffs on the bananas imported from non-ACP countries (ACP – Africa, the Caribbean region, the Pacific region) the author undertakes a detailed research of various components of the given trade conflict – economic, geopolitical, international legal, sociocultural. Special attention is paid to the fact that the lessons of «banana wars» induce reflections upon serious problems running far beyond the single trade conflict. The matter concerns such issues as critical importance of application of the most favoured nation principle, the need for settling trade disputes within the framework of WTO, growing interdependence of USA, EU and developing countries in the multilateral trade system and – last but not least – stable positions of economic lobbyism in the United States. Despite optimistic declarations of EC senior officials, a formal completion of American-European confrontation does not reliably protect against the relapse of “banana wars” in the short-term perspective.

Reasons for the ineffectiveness of international organisations in resolving crises in Africa: the case of ECOWAS
In the 19th century, the African continent became the focus of attention of the colonial empires, which determined their geopolitical interests. However, the struggle for resources did not end when African countries gained their independence: during the Cold War, they became a battleground between the Soviet and American blocs, and the former metropolises are still seeking to interfere in their internal affairs today. Today, African states are faced with various challenges and threats: demographic problems, the problems of international terrorism, the spread of infectious diseases and territorial conflicts. To solve these problems, African countries are striving to consolidate themselves within the framework of inter-state unions, whose activities are important to study in the context of the emergence of a modern multipolar world: this is precisely why the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was created, with the main aim of strengthening the economy. However, the organization has evolved into one dedicated to conflict prevention and resolution. The aim of this study is to identify the reasons for the ineffectiveness of this regional organization in resolving crises in West Africa.
Key words: resolution, political crises, inefficiency, international organization, sovereignty, ECOWAS, Globalization, Sovereign States, financial difficulties, electoral crises.

Evolution of Russia's policy towards Central African
The evolution of Russia's policy towards Central African countries has undergone a multifaceted transformation, reflecting Moscow's strategic recalibration and growing interest in the region. In recent years, Russia has strategically expanded its diplomatic, economic, and military engagements with Central Africa, signaling a departure from the relative neglect of the post-Soviet era. Economic collaboration serves as a cornerstone, with Russia seeking to secure access to the region's abundant natural resources. Notably, the Power of Siberia gas pipeline project exemplifies Moscow's efforts to strengthen energy ties and enhance economic cooperation. Furthermore, the military dimension of Russia's policy in Central Africa is evident through its involvement in peacekeeping and security initiatives. Moscow has deployed military advisors and equipment to assist in stabilizing conflict-prone areas, fostering closer ties with Central African governments.
The Central African Republic, in particular, has witnessed a deepening of military cooperation, with Russia providing training and support to bolster the nation's security apparatus. Diplomatically, Russia has engaged in high-level dialogues and partnership-building initiatives, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs. The creation of diplomatic platforms, such as the Russia-Africa Summit, underscores Moscow's commitment to fostering diplomatic ties and strengthening its influence on the continent. This evolution in Russia's policy is characterized by a departure from a transactional approach to a more comprehensive and strategic engagement.
Moscow's interests in Central Africa extend beyond immediate economic gains, encompassing geopolitical considerations, security dynamics, and the projection of influence in the global arena. The utilization of soft power, including cultural and educational exchanges, further illustrates Russia's multifaceted approach to building lasting partnerships in the region. While economic initiatives have contributed to Russia's increased presence in Central Africa, it is the combination of economic, military, and diplomatic efforts that defines the nuanced evolution of Moscow's policy. The strategic alignment with Central African countries serves Russia's broader geopolitical objectives, positioning it as a key player in the African continent's evolving landscape. The evolution of Russia's policy towards Central Africa reflects a dynamic engagement that balances economic interests with diplomatic and security considerations, marking a significant departure from historical patterns.
Key words: Africa, Russia, relations, cooperation, diplomacy, assistance, joint projects.

Actual issues of international policy in the context of globalization processes
This article comprehends the essence of the globalization process in the context of international relations, considers the nature of the globalization process and the spheres it affects. The article argues that globalization has radically changed the aspects of international politics that existed before the Cold War. Having analyzed the causes and trends of globalization development, the article concludes that political globalization, which captures the level of international relations, is rather a negative factor of political development than a positive one, because in the globalization world there is a hierarchy and interdependence of states on each other. Moreover, all processes in the system of international relations are approved or disapproved by the United States of America, a state that has declared itself the "leader of the world", which completely nullifies the theory of globalization. The problem of domination in the world by one power has raised the issue of creating a global government that will direct the process of international relations in the right direction, establishing a new world order and providing the world with a stable political development.
Key words: globalization, globalization process, world political system, international relations, world order.

Ancient German religious transformation
The article analyzes the ancient German religious transformation – the change in the role of the supreme deity and the appearance of the plot about the "Death of the Gods" after a three-year winter. The task of the study is to substantiate the approximate chronological boundaries of the noted changes, as well as to search for an analysis of the probable causes of the transformation. The ancient and medieval source base on German-Scandinavian paganism is highlighted and compared, and relevant modern scientific publications on the topic are noted. Next, data on ancient Germanic religious beliefs are compared by comparing the medieval Scandinavian sagas that have come down to the present time with the reconstructed proto-Indo-European mythology, and specific Germanic innovations are highlighted. Then the probable causes of mythological changes are analyzed: clashes with Rome, the allocation of a stratum of professional warriors against the background of the economic development of German society, climatic changes and the beginning of the events of the Great Migration of Peoples. As a conclusion, a generalized chronology of religious transformation is given.
Key words: mythology, Germanic paganism, ancient Germans, Indo-Europeans, skaldic poetry.
