The main attributes of natural, humanitarian, social and technical sciences are described in the article. The peculiarity of cybernetics is its duality: on the one hand, it is a natural science that studies information processes, statics and dynamics of control systems; on the other hand, it is a technical science, the task of which is to epistemically ensure the development of algorithms and technical means for analyzing, forecasting and managing processes in technical and socio-activity systems. The synthesis of cybernetics as a natural science with the humanities and social sciences is necessary in cases where it is necessary to form a mechanism for effective management of socio-activity systems based on data obtained by methods of socio-humanities, taking into account the requirements of cybernetics for management systems, to optimize management, to provide socio-activity systems with the properties of self-organization and learning. Theoretically, such a synthesis is necessary for the development of a general management theory of socio-activity systems and the theoretical management foundations of socio-cultural society modernization, which is considered to be one of the most actual tasks of our time. Socio-humanitarian cybernetics at this stage of its development is formed as a set of concrete examples of the cybernetics’ synthesis with the humanities and social sciences. The formation of socio-humanitarian cybernetics as a separate science with all its attributes: specific ontological and methodological base, library of developed models, archive of factual data, specific language for describing all scientific elements, unique problematic area, standard methods’ libraries for solving problems, logically completed theory and a set of hypotheses for the purpose of the theory further development in the future.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799) was one of the most prominent Enlightenment figures in Germany - alongside with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Moses Mendelssohn, Immanuel Kant. During his lifetime he was best known as a professor of physics, popularizer of science, witty mind, and thought-provoking essayist. His enduring philosophical legacy is based on his posthumously published so-called wastebooks (rough notebooks) which gather together countless observations and remarks and which founded a tradition of aphoristic writing that was continued by the Schlegel brothers, Novalis, Schopenhauer, and especially Ludwig Wittgenstein. The characteristic feature of the aphoristic method is not to pointedly sum up or to cast a thought in a concise witty form. Instead, the aphorism provides a pregnant formulation that occasions a movement of thought. This paper picks up on extant characterizations of Lichtenberg’s Sprachdenken (thinking of, by, and through language) and seeks to develop them further. The following movement of thought is occasioned by one of Lichtenberg’s playful remarks which suggests the idea of a language in which “any blunder in matters of truth would be a grammatical blunder as well”.

In V. Levanov’s monodrama “The Death of Firs”, there is an increase in performatization characteristic of the contemporary drama. The character deduced by V. Levanov is linked by an intertextual thread with the works of Chekhov and transforms into a complex personality, whose identity is revealed through a detailed monologue statement. In order to highlight the characteristic features of the recipient and the character in V. Levanov’s monodrama, it is necessary to take into account the performative potential of the text and its influence on the transformation of these categories in the monodrama. Thus, the recipient of the monodrama becomes an accomplice of the communicative act according to the principle of total involvement, and the theatrical enactment of the monologue action is deliberately highlighted by the structure of the text. In this regard, it is necessary to reconsider the influence of the position of the such a subject on the receptive potential of the reader / viewer. Taking into account the monodrama’s orientation to the extremely “personal”, the loss / search of identity by the character significantly affects the reduction of the distance between the word and the action, the hero / protagonist and the recipient. The purpose of this article is to comprehend the key categories of the character and the recipient for the monodrama on the material of the play “Death of Firs” in the context of the peculiarities of the monodramatic compositional speech construction. For this purpose, the authors refer to the works of M. Lipovetsky, S. Lavlinsky, E. Davydova, A. Pavlov and others. Meanwhile, the researchers have repeatedly examined V. Levanov’s monodrama from the point of view of the anthropological characteristics of the hero / protagonist and the specifics of the narrative organization of the text. In this study, we first attempted to analyze V. Levanov’s play “The Death of Firs” from the point of view of theoretical poetics and a receptive-aesthetic approach.

This article is devoted to new forms of organization of dramatic and stage text associated with the digimodern culture. It provides a brief excursion into the history and theory of digimodernism in America. Moreover, there have been considered modern Russian-language examples of digital stage text adapted to our reality. The experience of the director Dmitry Volkostrelov and his numerous theatrical practices are analyzed as a hero / protagonist of the story. As the hero of the story, the experience of director Dmitry Volkostrelov and his numerous theatrical practices are explored.
The text of the article explores step by step the problem of adapting the dramatic genre to the digital reality of the Internet and analyzes the very possibility of such adaptation. The key question is asked: “What is virtual reality becoming in the theatrical environment today? The background or content of the story, the reason for the development of new theater director’s matrices.
Through the retrospective of Dmitry Volkostrelov’s directorial work, a hypothesis is built about the possible influence of the surrounding space on the texts of the play by Pavel Pryazhko (drama in the life of this principal director) and the language of Volkostrelov’s mise-en-scene.

An important process within the framework of personality socialization under modern conditions is the process of improving the individual's competencies in the mode of expanding their spectrum and improving the quality level throughout life. At the same time, in a dynamic environment of professional activity, a person has in some cases to radically change his trajectory of professional development. All above-mentioned circumstances are included in the concepts of "lifelong learning". For many categories of employees, this process is associated with great organizational difficulties: the composition of competencies has a complex structure, changes occur quite often, opportunities for personal development are limited due to the conditions of professional activity. One of these categories are state and municipal servants who have a high need to improve their managerial and communicative competencies but are limited by the rigid framework of their official activities. A constructive solution to ensure the improvement of municipal service personnel is the organization and implementation of professional retraining and advanced training programs for employees with extensive use of e-education and distant learning technologies. It is equally important to stimulate employees' own activity in choosing the content and forms of competences' development.

The article describes the results of the sociological study “Quality of employment and human development”, implemented in the Republic of Bashkortostan in October-December 2020. The qualitative characteristics of the socio-labor sphere of the region are analyzed: access to employment, working conditions, guarantees of labor standards and human rights, opportunities for development and self-realization, productivity and economic efficiency. The views and assessments of key subjects of the labor market are shown: employers, self-employed and employees; the impact of the pandemic on the situation and social well-being of employees; the extent of the prevalence of certain signs of precarious labor in Bashkortostan. The results of the study showed that the Republic of Bashkortostan has not remained aloof from global and national transformations in the field of labor and the trends of increasing unstable, unstable and unprotected jobs and labor relations. Differences in the perception of the sphere of work by employers and other social groups are revealed. At the same time, all social groups, including employers, are in solidarity with the fact that it is currently difficult to find a stable / reliable job with a decent salary, as well as with the fact that the development of an employee is, first of all, his / her own prerogative. Such a public consensus in the assessments of the sphere of work indicates the existence of deep gaps in ensuring the quality of employment and social and labor guarantees. For example, more than a quarter of the surveyed employees do not believe that an employee has the opportunity to defend his / her rights and interests in conflicts with the employer. Violation of the fundamental rights of employees, in our opinion, is dissonant with the main principle of social and economic progress of society and is a significant deterrent to the implementation of Russia’s strategic goals and objectives.

The review is devoted to the monograph by V.E. Golovchiner and T.L. Vesnina “Comic in
M. Bulgakov’s plays of the 1920s”. The author comes to the conclusion that the book reveals the role of farcical poetics in the artistic world of M.A. Bulgakov and proves the effectiveness of working with farcical poetics in the studies of Russian drama of the 1920s.
