The article studies the features of the global fuel and energy sector’s development under structural transformational changes from 1971 to the present day. In the materials, the author analyzes the fuel structure of global generated electricity, compares the structure of global natural gas consumption, calculates and evaluates the dynamics of global consumption of various energy sources per capita, and analyzes the dynamics of global indicators of energy content of various energy sources to gross domestic prod-uct at purchasing power parity. Furthermore, an empirical analysis of indicators of the structure of change in renewable energy sources’ share of global gross production of electric power energy is conducted, as is the analysis of the structure of investments into the development of the renewable electric power industry in some countries, as well as global CO2 emissions since 1990.
Firstly, the study reveals environmentally friendly and costeffective energy sources such as natu-ral gas and renewable energy sources technology, which strengthen their position in the global energy bal-ance in the fuel structure of electric power generation while displace non-environmental petroleum and coal. Secondly, it has been proven that the indicators of the global energy efficiency level, calculated based on the energy content of all major energy sources consumed globally over the last century, are constantly dropping. The article describes the structure of a significant growth in renewable energy sources share of global gross production of electrical power. This trend is possible due to the accessibility of the technology for the production of renewable energy sources, the rise in the cost of crude hydrocarbons on global markets, “green” energy support at the state policy level in most countries, and massive investment in renewable energy sources.
As a result of the study, it was concluded that the policy of managing the development of the global fuel and energy sector has a significant impact both on its future and on the development of the global economies of the world’s countries, primarily the Russian Federation.

The article discusses issues related to increasing the role of content marketing strategies in building the competitive power of B2B companies. The author analyzed the approaches to determine the definition of content marketing and strategies of content marketing; focused on the drawbacks of academic research on these terms; proposed his own definitions of content marketing and content marketing strategies; and considered the advantages and disadvantages of applying content marketing strategies.
To detect trends in building content marketing strategies, a comparative analysis of their application by Russian (Siberian region) and North American enterprises working with the B2B market was conducted. The study revealed that enterprises in the Siberian region are less advanced in content marketing, and most of them do not build content marketing strategies. The similarity in goals for implementing content market-ing strategies by the Russian companies in the Siberian region and by the North American companies was identified. However, Russian companies rarely register and discuss any content marketing strategies.
The results obtained may be useful when substantiating the choice of strategic decisions in the com-pany’s communication with customers and for other strategic management issues.

The article analyzes the amount of copper-in-stock as a part of finished articles in the US economy from 1900 to 2017. In addition, an assessment of the external trade of copper as a part of finished ar-ticles is conducted. All of that allows collecting a non-biased assessment of copper-in-stock in the US econo-my. The results obtained demonstrate an increase in specific (per capita) copper-in-stock in the US economy and an assessment of potential copper resources in terms of the circular economy. The authors conclude that an analysis of copper consumption should be accompanied by an analysis of copper as a part of finished articles movement in the external trade during the global value chain spread. That strategy will provide a more non-biased assessment of copper-in-stock in the economy in order to determine its recycling potential.

Housing and communal services are important components in providing life necessities. Despite the housing and communal reforms, there is still an urgent need for tools aimed at increasing both these enterprise’s effective activities and the quality of their services. The article assesses the possibility of using such controlling tools as budgeting, SWOT analysis, creating the objective tree, accounting according to the financial responsibility centers, and developing a management responsibility system in the practice of housing and communal enterprises. The advantages and disadvantages of the controlling tools implementation are identified. The controlling tools assessment was conducted on the housing and communal enterprises providing sewage collection and treatment services in the Kransoyarsk region.

The aim of the article is to develop the theoretical and methodological base for studying digital inclusion and to identify the distinguishing features of its manifestation in Russian settings. The authors propose an approach to studying digital inclusion by determining the causes and factors of its development in Russia. Macroeconomic analysis of territorial and age-related factors of digital inclusion development in Russia is conducted based on the official statistics indicators that define the features of access to the Internet for the population, directions for digital technology use, digital skills in the popula-tion, etc. The territorial factor was found to be a key cause for the development of digital inclusion in Rus-sia. It displays through a more accessible Internet and possibilities to use the potential of digital technolo-gy for the population in urban areas rather than for those who live in rural areas and territories remote from the “growth areas”. The article identifies features of the age factor affecting the development of digi-tal inclusion in Russia and changes in the dynamics of the age factor affecting the development of digital inclusion during the pandemic. The analysis allowed the authors to substantiate the directions of positive practice in developing digital inclusion in Russia in order to overcome the digital divide both on the na-tional business level and on the international level. The theoretical and methodological basis for further research in the field is presented in the obtained conclusions. It can be used for improving the state policy on digital development and the implementation of strategic directions for the digitalization of the Russian national economy.

The subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological problems of evaluating the level of economic risk inherent in business relations at the sectoral and regional levels. The study aims to create methods for evaluating risk levels in regional and sectoral economies. The aim is achieved through solving the problems of increasing unbiased expert assessment in terms of economic risk analysis, as well as advancing deterministic and stochastic methods for mathematical stimulation of risk management systems. The methodology of the study includes general theoretical and economical methods of abstract and logical, systematic and structural analysis and synthesis, expert assessment methods, and econometric methods. The author’s approach comprises a combination of the methods abovementioned in order to advance a com-plex method for evaluating the risk level in the region tested on the social and economic data of the Donetsk People’s and Luhansk People’s Republics, and the Kemerovo region. Improving the impartiality of the assessment of the economic risk level output indicator in the region substantiates the scientific novelty of the author’s approach. This resulted in a support system for decision-making in managing the business entity, sector, and territorial entity complexes.

The study aims to analyze the prospects of contemporary education in the digital era. The requirements of the international labor market are becoming more information-oriented, implying a frequent usage of methodologies from the mathematical and engineering sciences. The introduction and implementation of these methods into various studies and the entire professional activities of specialists provide for the reevaluation of many education concepts in preparing future specialists in numerous fields. This issue is likely to arise in the near future. Therefore, it is addressed through the prism of pedagogical syncretism, which implies the creation of a comfortable environment for the education and training of students in order to build the intellectual capital of any state in the future.

Recent intensive lawmaking has led to a set of novelizations, particularly in defining terminology, that do not always comply with the fundamental requirements of legislative technique. Therefore, law-makers face significant challenges, while convicts’ penalties may be influenced by them.
The article detects, substantiates, and illustrates examples of specific poor definitions. The authors propose alternative definitions. In addition, the study determines the main features of a definition, identifies common legal errors made while creating definitions, and describes various types of terms with theoretical and practical value for legislative technique.
The authors suggest their own view on the approaches to advancing criminal legislation in creating definitions.

The study considers the practice of applying Article 35, Paragraph 1, Item 2, Sub-item “c” of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation. The Article reads on the prosecutor’s assumptions of circumstances that may cast discredit on the court. While this regulatory provision was in force, the courts delivered many judgments on behalf of the prosecutor to change the territorial jurisdiction of a criminal case without any convincing evidence. All of which complicates the work of defense and the conditions for an accused (defendant), who is transferred to another region and faces an extended period of detention. In addition, the article considers the constitutional principle of considering a lawsuit in the court of its legal jurisdiction. The authors use as examples resonant and equivocal cases, which substantiate the relevance and urgency of the issue.

The article studies special principles that identify the features of an interdisciplinary corrective labor institution. These principles are even more important today as there are unresolved issues that postpone the progress of the institution and instill challenges in law enforcement practice. Based on the analysis of legislation and corrective labor practices, the authors differentiate four types of special principles. The study considers their content according to the key point of the prescribed penalty, as well as the development of basic factors determining the obligatory criteria for a convict’s behavior correction. The study’s findings can serve as a foundation for further research on the institution’s special principles.

The article discusses the current state of the legal mechanism for the elimination of accumulated environmental damage in the Arctic; identifies the distinguishing features of such elimination, its importance in ensuring constitutional environmental human rights; determines the legal mechanism for the elimination of accumulated environmental damage, arising issues and their solutions on the example of the Arctic region, which ecosystem is highly sensitive to external influences from human production activities.
The authors conclude that there are separate problems in eliminating the accumulated environmental damage, primarily related to the imperfection of the legal regulation of the social relations under consideration. Based on the aforementioned, the authors propose approaches to solve the arising issues through particular changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, both general scientific and particular methods of scientific knowledge were used as following: dialectical, analysis and synthesis, formal legal and comparative methods.

The article is devoted to the detection of features of the activities of socially oriented non-profit organizations that helped citizens during emergency situations, and issues of legal regulation of public authorities’ entities interactions with socially oriented non-profit organizations in considered conditions. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that at present, the state needs to ensure cooperation with broad-aimed socially oriented non-profit organizations that are suitable for quick response to emergency situations and adaptable participation in maintaining the functions of public authorities during emergency situations. The new activities of socially oriented non-profit organizations require scientific reflection as well as legal provision for their cooperation with public authorities.
The authors think that the state aims to unite, coordinate, and, if required, conform socially oriented non-profit organizations to such activities, by implementing which they would become an equal partner to the public authorities. At the same time, the change in socially oriented non-profit organizations' place demonstrates a new stage in redefining the constitutional and legal status of such organizations.

The criminal complicity classification is still an issue. Despite the large number of studies on the topic, some issues remain unresolved. In the study, the complicity institution was analyzed in accordance with the systemic approach, which allowed for the substantiation of existing controversies as well as the proposal of solutions.
