The article presents the phenomenon of the culture of overcoming as a result of the author's study of personal growth strategies. We consider this phenomenon in connection with the processes of socialization and enculturation, presenting the culture of overcoming at several levels: in the material and spiritual sphere, traditions and innovations, language and literature, creativity. The specificity of this phenomenon lies in a peculiar cultural tendency reflecting the originality of the current period of cultural history: the optimality of the choice of a strategy aimed at the ability of an individual to: assimilate existing cultural values, integrate into the system of norms, maintain individuality and uniqueness. The culture of overcoming is a reflection of the personality in interaction with social factors and cultural processes occurring in a certain period of history. The reflection demonstrating the individual value system of the personality is revealed: in affects, patterns and will - components of the personal growth strategy. The author considers the choice of an individual value system not only as a biological intuitive ability of a person to foresee danger and avoid it, but also as a socio-cultural specificity of a person's choice, which implies the result of his actions - productive achievement of the set goal - through strategies of conflict, balancing or sublimation. The prevalence of a certain type of personal growth strategy in a certain period of history creates a picture of the culture of overcoming a people and a country, recording the change in the personal qualities of individuals changing the world as a whole. The author refers to facts from the history of culture and art, demonstrating examples of the culture of overcoming.

The article explores the evolution of cultural dialogue between Russia and South Korea from the late 19th century to the present day. Analyzing key stages — from the penetration of Russian classical literature, which became an instrument of national identity during the colonial era, to contemporary theatrical experiments and digital festivals — the work reveals how traditions and innovations form a unique synthesis of cultures.

The article proves that cultural exchange between countries is not just borrowing, but a creative rethinking, where each era adds new facets to the dialogue reflected in literature, art, and even culinary experiments.

Key words: cultural influence of Russia, Russian literature in Korea, intercultural synthesis, theatrical dialogue, contemporary festivals.

Personal identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that describes a sense of one’s own “I”, the totality of a person’s ideas about himself, his qualities, characteristics and place in the world. This is not a static quantity, but a dynamic process, constantly forming and changing throughout life.

Leisure activities have a significant impact on the formation and development of personal identity, acting as a kind of «laboratory of self-knowledge».

The article deals with the relationship between the existential categories of “language” and “soil”, which worried the outstanding speakers of German language and culture of the XIX-XX centuries - writers G. Böll and E. Jünger, philosophers M. Heidegger and O. Spengler. The views of the thinkers are in correlation and can be interpreted as a trinity of soil-blood-language (Boden-Blut-Sprache). The humanist Heinrich Böll figuratively and extremely accurately defines the essence of the mother tongue as “a certificate that no one has to sign or renew”. His compatriot Ernst Jünger - writer, philosopher - meticulously describes in his diary “Radiations” the experiments of soil cultivation, thus subconsciously actualizing the dichotomy of language and soil. Language according to Martin Heidegger is the “house of being,” a house that emerged from the soil of dialects. “Praphenomenon” or prototype of all things, an immutable basis (soil) for culture - this is the nature of language, according to Oswald Spengler. In our opinion, the philosophical inferences of thinkers testify to the materialistic and categorical nature of ethnic linguoculture, the features of which are found in the grammatical structure, phonetics, morphology of the German language. The interdisciplinary approach in the context of linguoculturology makes it possible to reveal this relationship, and it seems appropriate both from the point of view of understanding and methodology of teaching German, which, in turn, indicates the practical significance of the presented article. 

Key words: German language, ethnic linguoculture, G. Böll, E. Jünger, M. Heidegger, O. Spengler.

In the Kuzbass press of the post-Soviet period, a direction has developed that covers the unfolding ethnocultural initiatives of the multinational population of the region. In the article, based on the content analysis carried out by the author, an attempt is made to characterize the stereotypes broadcast by the regional press through ethnic information. The rather active position of representatives of indigenous ethnic groups (Shors and Teleuts living in the Kemerovo region) in the creative understanding and development of their cultural heritage also determined the interested attention to them from journalists. The variety of forms of ethnocultural self-presentation of peoples, their access to the level of socially significant events, as well as constant information support from the media make it relevant to study the image of this phenomenon, transmitted to the mass consciousness by the regional press. At the stage of organizational formation of the «ethnocultural revival movement» in Kuzbass (which fits well into the stated chronological framework), the specifics of its reflection in the regional periodical press also developed. The latter can be seen quite clearly in the materials of mass publications on a regional scale (such as the newspapers «Kuzbass», «Kuznetsky Krai»). Almost all of the analyzed stories are aimed at forming in the readership a constructive image of both interethnic relations in the region and the activities of regional and district authorities in the «ethnic» sphere. This is manifested in the topics covered (for example, mass ethnocultural events, social security of remote villages with an autochthonous Shor population, participation of civil society institutions in the life of the region), as well as in the clearly visible «solidarity» (or neutral) position of the authors of newspaper materials themselves.

Key words: regional press, ethnocultural revival, national policy, image, multinational Kuzbass, intercultural dialogue, heritage, mass consciousness.

Northeastern Italy, including Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, and Friuli Venezia Giulia, is a unique region with a distinct culinary identity. Compared to Southern and Central Italy, the climate in these areas is more temperate, which influences the types of food consumed. While the Mediterranean diet, based on olive oil, wheat, and wine, remains dominant, in the North, it is complemented by meat dishes, and rice and corn are frequently used. In Trentino-Alto Adige, for example, livestock farming prevails, leading to high meat consumption. Agritourism, developing in the Alpine zone, is becoming an important part of the region's gastronomic culture.

Life orientations as the basic orientations of life reflect a certain angle of view on the image of the world. There are studies that show that the structure of basic life orientations among Chinese differs from that of Russians, for example (Qin et al., 2023). The factor structure has specifics in the Chinese and Russian samples. In the Russian selection, as a rule, of the four factors, three characterize the creative orientation of a personality, the desire to transform the inner and outer world, and only one is the locus of control over what is happening in life. At the same time, the Chinese have a more pronounced desire to feel like "masters of fate", in contrast to the "fatalism" of Russians (Merculov, 2022). The Chinese mentality is influenced by religion, historical memory, and established traditions (Romanenko and Yashchenko, 2022). The Chinese generally tend to avoid unambiguous decisions and resort to semitones in life and the assessment of its phenomena, preferring the "golden mean" (Merkulov, 2022). At the same time, psychological studies of the mentality and behavioral pattern of the Chinese are rare.
