The article considers the age-old path of development of sociology at the Belarusian State University (BSU). It is argued that the institutionalization of sociology on the territory of Belarus began with the opening of the Belarusian State University and the creation of the Department of Sociology and Primitive Culture (S. Z. Katzenbogen), where students were given lectures on genetic sociology, issues of labor, law, cultural history, and sociology of family and marriage. After the identification of historical materialism with sociology, the teaching of sociological disciplines was excluded from the curricula of BSU. Sociology revived in the 1960s with the creation of the Problematic Research Laboratory of Sociological Studies at the BSU (PRLSS–BSU) (first head – Prof. I. N. Lushchitsky). In its depths, as well as in the sector of applied sociology at the Department of Philosophy of the Humanities Faculties (Prof. G. P. Davidyuk), personnel were trained and the necessary conditions were created for the opening of the Department of Sociology and the Department of Sociology in 1989 (the first head of the department was Prof. A. N. Elsukov). Professor G. P. Davidyuk is rightfully considered the founder of modern Belarusian sociology. At present, at BSU, centuries-old traditions in the field of sociological science and education are being developed at the Center for Sociological and Political Researches (headed by Prof. D. G. Rotman) and at the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences (headed by Prof. A. N. Danilov).

The article deals with the scientific hypotheses of the origin of the Radimichi tribal association, set out in the scientific literature. It is noted that, despite the fact that the problem of the genesis of the Radimichi has interested scientists for more than a decade, the generally accepted theory of the “Lyash” origin of the Radimichi causes a number of contradictions that will have to be considered in modern historical science.

 The article introduces into scientific circulation one of the categories of artifacts – badges and medals of the second half of the 19th century – the end of the 1930s, which were revealed in the process of archaeological survey of field and construction work during the memorialization of the place of mass extermination of the people in the Blagovshchina forest in the period of 1942–1943. The Blagovshchina forest is a common grave for tens of thousands of deported Jewish citizens of Western Europe, prisoners of the Minsk ghetto, resistance fighters, partisans and hostages. A large collection of personal and household items of victims has been collected, which, in the absence of presentational documentary sources, acquires the character of a full-fledged source for the formation of a new source of knowledge with significant information potential. The author also drew attention to the need for a scientific archaeological study of objects of the Modern times, especially associated with the events of the First and Second World Wars.

 The question concerning the syntax role of verbal phraseological units with an atypical structure is considered to be one of the complex issues of the syntax of a simple sentence (in their structure, such units do not have a verb component which may reflect such categories as type, tense, person, number). The aim of the research is to analyze the main patterns of the syntax functioning of verbal phraseological units with atypical structure in one- and two-parts sentences of the Belarusian language. The methodological base consists of the works of leading local and foreign linguists in phraseology and syntax. The material for the study is based on the factual material of the reputable phraseological dictionary of Mr. Lepeshev. The main methods are description, comparison, analytical research method, use of elements of quantitative calculations. The article considers the use issues of verbal phraseological units with an atypical structure in two-part sentences with a subject reflecting a person, a concrete or abstract subject. Mostly verb phraseological units are used in full sentences, but they can also be used in incomplete contextual ones. The author substantiates the use patterns of verbal phraseological units with an atypical structure which are used as a simple complexified verbal predicate in a two-parts sentence. The article also names and indicates factors influencing the functioning of verbal phraseological units in the role of linkers or copular parts. Being close in meaning to an infinitive, such units in combination with predicatives play the role of the main member of one-part impersonal sentences. The atypical functions of such units are the functions of definition, complement and adverbial of purpose. The article conclusions can be applied in lectures and practical classes in linguistics and cultural studies, as well as in the preparation of phraseological dictionaries.

Since the formation of the chamber and instrumental music in Kazakhstan, the traditional instrumental genrekui – has become the vector of creative search, the basis for the synthesis of national and western musical thinking. The purpose of this article is to reveal the features of the traditional genre within the framework of academic music and to present a new genre – chamber kui.
The expression of kui in the works is functionally represented in a variety of ways. The embodiment of the semantics of kui in its figurative meaning is given in the title of the work. When using the folk instrumental genre in professional writing, the authors give a functional association to it presented in the work in the form of a fragment (melody or accompaniment). The next point in the gradation of kui features in the chamber and instrumental works of composers of Kazakhstan is the dominance of its features: motor skills, variant-variational development of form, texture, throughout the work or part of it.
The formation of a new genre – chamber kui was the result of creative searches for the synthesis of Kazakh folk instrumental creativity-kui, the connection of the laws of its formation and shaping with the achievements of European creative experience. In form, these pieces are kui (alternation of three register zones characteristic of the traditional genre), in harmony, quart-quint consonances are used, recreating the overtone density of the dombra timbre in the sound of the European instrument.

It is investigated how a poet who was born in Minsk, was brought up in the cities of Nizhny Novgorod and Yaroslavl in the close family environment of the great Russian writer Maxim Gorky, felt that he was a Belarusian poet (collection of poetry “Wreath”, Vilnia, 1913), called Belarus “Matzi-Kraina”. Thanks to his poetic gift, through originality, self-awareness, self-determination and self-affirmation in poetry, the history of literature declared himself as a genius of Belarusian poetry. Maksim Bogdanovich argued that Belarusian literature “is not a monster, not a rarity, not a unique one”, but the outstanding work of the Belarusian people developed in genre and stylistic terms, it can rightfully be put on a par with other literatures of the peoples of the world. The poet also showed himself as a critic, translator, introduced a variety of genres and styles into Belarusian poetry. The name of Maxim Bogdanovich is on a par with the names of Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas. These are three stars of the first magnitude in the history of the Belarusian red writing.

 The purpose of this article is a comprehensive study of theoretical and legal approaches to ensuring the economic security of Belarus based on the formation of a system of legislation and terminological definition of the concepts of economic security in the context of the digital transformation of the economy

The article is devoted to the study of the modern global challenges that have a significant impact on the transformation of international economic relations, namely: the exacerbation of the struggle among global players for technological dominance, caused by the transition to a new technological order (digital economy), and the intensification of the struggle between TNCs and government structures for control over resources, caused by the growing power of TNCs and their desire to get rid of state control. It is noted that a change in the system of socio-economic relations, based on the widespread introduction of digital means of production, forms a new type of management of socio-economic processes, and the strengthening of the role of corporations in shaping countries’ economic policies generates risks of domination of corporate interests over public ones.

The article examines the mechanism of functioning of the Chinese-Belarusian industrial park “Veliky kamen”. The conclusion is made about the expediency of further development of the park as a center of innovative, regional growth and increasing the international competitiveness of the Belarusian economy.
