At the same time, the analysis of the works of ideologists and leaders of political parties gives reason to believe that they were propagandistic and primarily aimed at fighting their political opponents.

The relevance of the systems approach in the science of language in recent decades has led to the popularity of studying complex units of the word formation system (word-formation pairs, type, paradigm, chain, nest). The article is devoted to the description of the word-formation chain as a syntagmatic derivational structure organized by the stepped formation of each derivative in a certain word-formation way. The phenomenon of through-the-stepped word formation is described, which results in omission of a motivating lexeme and indicating the incompleteness of the derivational chain. The paper lists the criteria for typing and abstraction of word-formation chains within the LSG of emotive verbs. According to the degree of abstraction the hierarchy of derivational chains is presented: specific, typical, categorical word-formation chains. The author of the article draws attention to the need to single out an even more typified association of word-formation chains, based on the equal-thematic nature of word-formation meanings – supercategorical word-formation chains. These structures represent an invariant derivational model typing categorical derivational chains of one LSG. The paper notes the need to highlight such abstracted word-formation models as a means of ordering the derivational system of the language.

The article considers the specifics of the manifestation of symphonism in the musical and theatrical art, the peculiarity of relations – the interaction and interpenetration of the musical and theatrical principles of thinking in the genres of opera and ballet, which allows us to actualize the problem of musical and theatrical symphonism.

Information technology is an important part of government at the local level. Also, information technologies make it possible for citizens to participate in the management of local life. These relations constitute an electronic municipality (E-municipality). An electronic municipality cannot be effectively used without a scientific base. In the Republic of Belarus, the electronic municipality has specifics due to the presence of two independent systems at the local level – the system of local government and local self-government. At the moment, such elements of an electronic municipality as the representation of local authorities on the Internet, electronic appeals, electronic rulemaking are working in Belarus. However, there are problems in their work. The following forms are not used: electronic elections, electronic voting, electronic reception offices of authorities, electronic meetings, etc. The development and commissioning of a Unified portal of local self-government will be able to solve these problems. The portal will solve the problem of poor representation of local authorities in the online space, will become the basis for the development of electronic rule-making, and eventually – electronic elections, electronic referendums, electronic meetings and other forms of electronic direct democracy.

The development of the concept of cost accounting of ecosystem services of forests in the context of the theory of natural-ecological accounting is presented, taking into account the characteristics of forests as object of national accounting and sustainable nature management.
The main objectives of the study are to identify the need to distinguish between natural and environmental capital, to determine their relationship and differences; to show the expediency of identifying physical and cost indicators of ecosystem services, the accounting role of the timber reserve as a producer of ecosystem services. A method for cost accounting of ecosystem services based on the theory of reproduction and ecological rent is proposed.
The results of the study are expressed in a concentrated form by the conceptual scheme for constructing a cost accounting for forest ecosystem services. The content of the value measurement of forest ecosystem services depends on their belonging to natural or ecological capital.
