Times, eras, and people change, but culture, traditions, and customs always remain eternal. From the moment of birth, people instinctively, naturally, and imperceptibly become accustomed to their surroundings, the nature and culture of their country, and the way of life of their people. It is necessary to revive folk traditions and culture, which will preserve them for posterity. The traditional culture of the Kuban Cossacks in the development and education of youth is both profound and complex.

The culture of Kuban is unique. Certain places, due to their emotional impact and grace, have attracted and concentrated peoples and states. History, art, and traditions are always a new discovery for the current generation. It carries within it a wealth of knowledge and experience, proven over centuries, the culture and way of life of an ethnic group. The culture of the Kuban Cossacks exists within the system of a holistic human culture, but this global culture is internally dialectically contradictory. All interactions between individual elements demonstrate a universal connection between phenomena and generations. 

Key words: traditions, culture, customs, art, Cossacks, ethnicity, costumes.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the complete loss of hearing influenced the work of Ludwig van Beethoven, particularly his late piano sonatas. The research explores how the composer continued to create music using his inner hearing and imagination, as well as the new forms and harmonies he developed during this period.

The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that Beethoven is a unique example of how a person can continue to create even after losing one of the most vital senses – hearing. This is important not only for musicology but also for understanding the capabilities of the human brain and creative thinking. Moreover, many of the ideas found in Beethoven’s late sonatas anticipated musical developments of the 20th century – such as atonality and minimalism. Studying these works, therefore, helps us better understand how music evolved after Beethoven and why his legacy remains relevant today.

Key words: Beethoven, music, musical work, hearing, sonata, analysis, comparison, 20th century, study.

The article examines the peculiarities of the special military operation subculture represented in the Internet discourse by the combat unit participants. Since the full-time servicemen of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the volunteer crops, the mobilized citizens, as well as the representatives of the special forces (those from imprisonment) participate in the zone of the special military operation, a special subsystem of the military culture (hereinafter referred to as the SVO subculture) is being formed. The technologies of representing the SVO subculture illustrated by the “Storm-423” assault unit’s song and the Telegram channel "Volunteer Z#art" content have been researched. A literary analysis of the lyrics of the "Storms-423" unit’s song "These are my brothers ..." has made it possible to attribute the piece under discussion to the army chanson genre. The semiotic method used to study the texts of the "novellas" in combination with graphic images by the Telegram channel "Volunteer Z#art" author (nicknamed "Teacher") has given grounds to define this ego-text as the war diary genre. The examples provided in the present paper indicate the specifics of the SVO subculture, which is latent, fragmentary, and characterized by a hybrid nature. The conclusions obtained as the result of the analysis can be confirmed when considering the similar examples, which, in turn, can significantly expand the empirical base on the claimed subject, which indicates its relevance and opens up prospects for further research of the SVO subculture phenomenon.

The various processes taking place in the modern world have as a consequence threats to the free development of the individual, which ultimately inevitably leads to dehumanization. As a result, not finding answers to their questions, young people turn to religion and religious values. In the article, the author emphasizes that the humanistic essence of religion often itself has a need for a kind of explication, including in Islam. The Muslim religion contains two main provisions that are closely related to the individual and their problems. This is, firstly, an impersonal God, and secondly, an unshakable dogma that cannot be questioned: predestination. The author highlights the main issues in Islam: the relationship between God and man, and the relationship between man and society.

In the digital space, a political myth loses the features of a stable ideological construct and takes the form of fragmentary symbols that are instantly reproduced by algorithms and visual codes. Their appearance is associated with a change in the nature of political communication – digital platforms are transferring political myth from the sphere of ideological meanings to the sphere of iconic images, in which repetition, emotional coloring and recommendation mechanisms play a key role. In the context of mass digital simulation, political myth is becoming an important resource of digital legitimation, requiring a separate research analysis. The purpose of the study is to develop a strategy for deconstructing political myths in a digital simulation environment. Research methods: generalization, synthesis, comparative analysis, theoretical modeling. Results: a) theoretical foundations of myth analysis in the digital environment are considered (J. Baudrillard, K. Manheim, M. Foucault); b) a typology of digital political myths is proposed (the myth of the neutrality of algorithms, symbolically "collapsed" images, emotionally mobilizing slogans, postfactual myths); c) a model of deconstruction strategy is proposed, which includes three main stages (identification of repetitions, analysis of meaning, analysis of distribution channels); d) an author's conceptual model of digital production and reproduction of a political myth; e) four functions of the digital myth are highlighted – legitimization, stabilization, distraction, and emotion management. The study draws the following significant conclusions: firstly, it shows that the digital political myth is a key element of political digital simulation; secondly, it reveals that its reproduction is supported by algorithmic mechanisms and ritualized practices; thirdly, it is proved that the deconstruction strategy allows to identify the discrepancy between symbolic form and institutional practice; Fourthly, it is concluded that deconstruction is both a research technique and a form of political responsibility that restores the subject's ability to critically interpret in a digital environment.
