The relevance of this research topic is that the fundamental economic transformations occurring in the agrarian sphere of our country are reflected in the social development of rural areas. Geopolitical changes also contribute to this, affecting the competitive advantages of agro-industrial enterprises. However, despite the ongoing processes of socio-economic stabilization in the country, the situation of rural youth remains quite unstable. The key problems faced by rural youth remain unchanged: placement and employment, housing, and, of course, social adaptation to rural living conditions. As practice shows, a developed social structure positively influence the stability of the rural population, but in a comprehensive solution to these issues.

This article examined relevant literature, defines youth as a social group, and discusses the term "rural youth" as the main resource for replenishing the production sphere in rural areas. In order to assess the level of satisfaction with living conditions of rural youth, the authors conducted a questionnaire study in rural areas of southern Tyumen region in 2024. The findings allowed them to create a ranking the main issues faced by rural youth.

The study concludes that rural youth are a crucial link in the development of agriculture and the agro-industrial complex, as the future of the food market hinges on their participation. Thus, rural youth can be regarded a "hidden resource" that must become socially active in addressing existing problems. Therefore, the revival of the "Russian village" and the future of rural areas significantly depends on rural youth and their potential.

The understanding of existing social practices for active longevity is found within the conceptual paradigm of influencing this process from the perspective of the structural-functional approach. The relevance of this issue is linked to the global ageing population processes and its social, demographic, and economic impacts. The modern view of ageing population is changing. In the management model of Russian society, there is a shift from the concepts of "elderly population" and "elderly people", which are associated with frailty and weakness, to the term "older generation", which is seen as active and capable of self-care. This trend was recorded in scientific discussion and in the foundational conceptual document "A Strategy for Action in the interests of elder citizens in the Russian Federation until 2025". Active longevity we treat as a set of targeted actions by management entities and as a complex of actions by social agents, who are united by common interests and act to improve the quality of life for older individuals. This age is also referred to as the "third age", indicating its "normalcy" in relation to other age groups. Today, active longevity in Russian and world practice is viewed more broadly than medical care. Active longevity includes aspects such as quality of life, well-being, social activity, employment, opportunities for sports, and opportunities for increased communication. It has been determined that in modern society, the paternalistic approach to solving problems.is taking a back seat. The state acts as an initiator and subject that shapes framework relationships through a project-based approach. Due to delegating some of the management functions and tasks to society, including those related to the active longevity of the older generation, it becomes possible to more effectively use resource potential and regional features. The purpose of the study is to get a sense of the needs of the older generation in the category of "active longevity" within the context of regional management mechanisms, to identify and determine the importance of preserving values for the older generation, and to relate social values and practices of active longevity to the activities of the state and public organizations. To solve the research tasks, we conducted a sociological study among the older population of the Tyumen region. We identified their needs and views on active longevity. In addition, we found that at all levels of management and authority in the Tyumen region, there is continuity of programs and projects that unite efforts for active longevity. We recorded an expansion in social policy directions and their implementation in the Tyumen region with regard to the elderly population. However, there is no full correlation with the needs of the 55+ age group regarding active longevity practices.

This study is based on the concept of youth policy, which plays a crucial role in integrating young people into electoral procedures. These procedures, in turn, ensure the legitimacy of governing institutions and contribute to the establishment of constructive interactions among subjects of socio-political relations. The methodological approach used in this research defines the aim of the publication. The aims is to establish the specifics of electoral activities and the electoral engagement of youth in the electoral processes of the Russian Federation. Study results are summarized based on statistical data, the authors' sociological studies, and the analysis of previously conducted mass surveys at both the federal and regional levels. During our study, we received materials that help to systematize the main parameters and characteristics of modern Russian youth's involvement in active electoral processes. It determines the significance and practical value of the research. As a result of the interpretation of the results we established that modern young people do not always fully utilize their opportunities to vote or run for office in public administration. Further analysis identified factors contributing to this passivity, which can be categorized into external and internal factors. The external factors relate to short-comings of state regulation, unwillingness of Russian business to support political youth movements and leader-ship. The internal factors relate to the characteristics of the subjective-objective nature of the youth themselves, who have lost meaningful, moral guidelines and values, become less resilient, and, as a result, less confident about their futures. All this makes it challenging for them to define long-term life priorities and goals. The results contribute to the adjustments in the domestic youth policy aimed at eliminating undesirable factors that hinder the realization of electoral activity and full political engagement among the younger generation of the Russian Federation.

This article examines the phenomena of tax culture and tax compliance. Both phenomena have received wide popularity in law and economics, but there are still only a few studies in sociology. Tax culture can be understood as a system of values and norms that shape an individual's conscious obligation to pay taxes. Tax culture and tax compliance are closely interrelated. The conscious obligation, which reflects an individual's tax culture, is the foundation for tax compliance. This conscious obligation can be viewed as a moral imperative. The duty to pay taxes or tax morality is not solely a product of upbringing. It is also influenced by individuals’ interactions with tax authorities, the legislative framework, and the constitutional environment. Based on a sur-vey of residents from a major region in Russia (n = 1500) and interviews (n = 17), this study identifies several key aspects of tax culture. These include knowledge about taxes, perceptions of the effectiveness of tax authorities in dealing with taxpayers, respondents' law-abiding attitudes towards tax payments, and their understanding of the consequences of non-payment. Taxpayers use various channels to access information about their taxes, such as the unified state services portal (Gosuslugi), multifunctional public service centers (MFC), and taxpayer personal accounts among others. However, a small percentage of respondents do not use any sources of information. The study of respondents' law-abiding attitudes revealed instances of tax morality, where respondents are motivated not by fear of sanctions but by moral considerations. This shows the high level of social responsibility. Research on taxpayers' awareness of the consequences of tax evasion highlights the need for further education. The conclusion is made about the underscores the necessity of further research into the internal factors influencing tax payment, which remain underexplored.

In the context of the development of the information society, data has become an object of criminal encroachments aimed at destabilizing social processes within the state. The public sector infrastructure especially appeals to cyber criminals seeking to obtain confidential information about citizens who utilize government services. Despite active information security policy, the Russian Federation faces challenges in mitigating the impact and consequences of information threats affecting government institutions. An analysis of various factors contributing to these threats reveals that a significant element is social behavior, which includes irresponsible actions by citizens regarding their data, such as opening phishing emails and responding to psychological manipulation by cybercriminals. An analysis of the information threats confirmed the thesis that the public sector has been the target of persistent cyberattacks in recent years. As a result of this employees of government agencies often become the subject of neutralization of the existing information security system in the sector. The aim of this research is to examine the specific information threats and the factors that facilitate their proliferation in the public sector of modern Russia. The article reviews existing studies on information security within government agencies and public institutions, which helps to clarify the system of information threats and their characteristics. The findings presented offer a comprehensive overview of information threats facing the public sector in the Russian Federation.

In today's digital civilization, the interaction between youth and government through automated plat-forms has become an important topic. For instance, the socialization of young people occurs, among other things, through various channels, including mass media, gadgets, the internet, and others. These channels shape moral values, attitudes, civic positions, and societal preferences. In this context, the government acts as one of the subjects of social interactions. With the widespread integration of artificial intelligence, digital government platforms can become a subject of interaction with youth, performing the same functions to government structures. This article justifies this thesis, for which the authors provide the results of a systematic analysis of the transformation from subject-object relationships between youth and government automated information plat-forms to subject-subject interactions. The study provides an opportunity to present the concept of subjectivity within an information system, highlighting its main characteristics, input and output parameters, and the algorithms and structures necessary to organization interactive interaction with young people.

There is an analogy between the relationships of programmers and software, and the relationships be-tween young people and websites, platforms, and mobile applications. In both cases, both parties act as active agents influencing each other. In both cases, both parties act as active subjects influencing each other. The authors argue that, in such cases, a well-prepared automated platform equipped with artificial intelligence module, can serve as one of the actors in the political socialization of today's youth, who are essentially a digital generation. This opens up opportunities to more effectively utilize digital government platforms in shaping strategies for youth participation in the political life of Russian society. Of course, the knowledge base of these automated platforms must be initially prepared using the current regulatory and legislative framework, as well as the established categories of moral values and social norms.

The study the authors did allows correcting the architecture of digital interactive applications in such a way, to transform them from simple search engines and information gatherers into active subjects of youth socialization — personal mentors capable of guiding the formation of their life trajectories.

This article presents the opinions of numerous authors about the essence of sustainable development in its social aspect. It discusses the sustainable development goals defined by the UN and the national targets of the Russian Federation until 2030. The contribution of the healthcare system to achieving sustainable development goals in Russia overall and specifically in the Tyumen region is shown. It is noted that the healthcare re-forms implemented in Russia since 1991 have made a positive impact on the sustainable development of territories. This study includes an analytical assessment of medical and demographic data, obtained by statistical methods from 2017 to 2023 and reflected the effectiveness of the healthcare system in the Tyumen region. Those data are an indicator of territorial sustainability.

Thus, an independent sociological study focused on evaluating the patients' opinions who visited Tyumen clinics in 2019 and 2023. Additionally, this study looked at the results of the final stage of reforms in the healthcare system of Tyumen (digitalization).

Based on the analysis of statistical data and survey results, the following conclusions were drawn: the document flow has improved, a certain level of digitalization in the industry has been achieved; accessibility to medical care, including high-tech services, has increased; a system of primary and secondary prevention and rehabilitation has been established.

The study revealed that the algorithm for providing medical services, including patient surveys, examinations, diagnostic measures, and treatment of detected conditions, is not followed. Diagnostic services under the compulsory medical insurance program are not consistently accessible, therefore patients themself pay for it. Furthermore, the electronic technologies being introduced are not fully utilized and are not always readily accessible.

The conclusions and recommendations provided can serve as a basis for decision-making by local authorities.

The relevance of this study is determined by the importance of studying the value orientations of modern youth, which significantly influence the future development of society. In periods of socio-economic and political transformation of social development, a close study of values and value orientations of youth as a special social group can help forecast the opportunities and pathways for contemporary society's development. This article presents the results of a sociological study on the values of contemporary Russian youth, which form the value orientations that guide the behavior of individuals and social groups. The authors' sociological research identified the priority life values of Russian youth, as well as the significant qualities that young people should have. Alongside the priority values, the study also explored the reasons for the youth's uncertainty about the future. An analysis of the study's results concludes that rational (material) values are of primary importance in the value orientations of contemporary Russian youth.
