Results of the research of ethnopsychological characteristics of the Tuvans, including those who live in remote areas of Tuva are presented. The meaning of life and the value-purpose for Tuvans are such categories as care for children (family), relations with relatives, love for the native nature and traditional culture. The majority of Tuvans are characterized by respectful, equal relations. Families traditionally have many children and are stable, tribal relations are steady and preserve traditional values: hospitality, respect for elders, politeness. Rationalism, punctuality and flexibility of the life position are still not very acceptable. We have also investigated features of formation and course of cognitive processes in the conditions of using of information and communication technologies in training and daily life. Use of digital equipment affects deep layers of mentality and changes not only formation and functioning of the speech-thought sphere, but also the processes of perception. The information technologies that have entered the modern life are a little focused on real communities: at best they are adapted to writing.

Key words: ethnos, Tyva, psychology, information and communication technologies.

The diverse ethnic and cultural composition of Russia is being studied: special attention is paid to the territorial distribution of believers of different faiths. It is noted that the percentage of Muslims is highest in the republics of the North Caucasus, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Crimea; Jews in the Jewish Autonomous Region; Buddhists in Tuva, Kalmykia, Buryatia; Lutherans in the Volga region; Hindu in the Republic of Altai and Altai Territory; traditional pagan believers in Siberia and the Far East. It is emphasized that Orthodox Christianity has historically played and is currently playing a unique role in the religious, cultural, and spiritual life of Russians. It points out the recent sharp increase in the level of extremism, religious fundamentalism and terrorism, and also describes the legal opposition to these dangerous tendencies of Russia's modernization.

Based on the research, the authors analyze the features of the formation of the lexical composition of the economic media text. Due to the fact that the language of professional communication "serves" the modern information space of the economic sphere, the authors analyze and give examples of methods of replenishment and creation of the language of the economy.

Attention is paid to such methods as cognitive metaphorization and lexico-semantic method of economic lexical formation. The authors come to the conclusion that modern economic media text is a part of economic discourse and a tool of forming the language of professional communication.

Modern economic media text is actively developing and replenished by the formation of new lexical units and word collocation used to indicate modern economic realities.

Key words: economic lexis, media text, borrowing, phraseological names, semantic structure, economic discourse.
