SOME ISSUES OF CORRUPTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY

In modern conditions, anti-corruption laws are vital for the sustainable development of the economy and the fulfillment by the state of all social obligations. It is no coincidence that Kazakhstan has adopted a new Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2015-2025, which is focused on reducing the level of corruption in such areas as the civil service, quasi-public sector, private sector, judicial and law enforcement agencies. Based on it, all central state bodies have approved departmental plans, and local executive bodies have approved regional plans for the implementation of the Strategy. In the conditions of constantly changing socio-political, economic, psychological, spiritual and ideological situations in the life of modern society, new forms of corruption manifestations may appear. This implies the need for constant monitoring of the state and evolution of this phenomenon in order to develop effective anti-corruption measures.

Key words: state, public service, quasi-public sector, economy, politics, social policy, legislation, corruption, anti-corruption policy, corruption situation.

ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE IDEAS OF FEDERALISM IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE AND THE TODAY PRINCIPLES OF FEDERALISM

The article is based on the materials of N.P. Medvedev's textbook “Political Regionalism” published in 2002. At the same time, there are still discussions among experts on the problems of the state-political structure of Russia about the initiatives of politicians and state scientists of different periods of Russia's development regarding the conflict-free management of a multinational and multi-confessional society. The ideas of federalism in the Russian Empire were not feasible in practice and the Bolshevik project of federalism based on the ethnic principle became one of the serious sources of political separatism and the collapse of the USSR.

Further scientific understanding and legal improvement of the foundations of modern Russian federalism is becoming an important theoretical and practical task.

Key words: ideas of federalism, Russian Empire, ethnofederalism of the USSR, modern Russian federalism, ethno-territorial principle, ethnopolitical separatism.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE PECULIARITIES OF THE PRE-ISLAMIC BELIEFS OF THE TURKS

The ancient Turks of the pre-Muslim period worshipped the forces of nature. The basis of the religion of the ancient Turks was the worship of the Sky (Tengri) and the Earth (Earth-Water, Yer-Sub). In this pair of divine powers, the Sky was the main one. It was by the will of Heaven that the kagans ruled, who were called “heaven-like and born in Heaven”. By the will of Heaven, the Turks won victories or suffered defeats. The next in importance was the female deity Umai - the patroness of the hearth and children. Traditions of shamanism occupied a prominent place in pre-Muslim beliefs, the relics of which were found until recently among modern Turkic peoples. The cult of ancestors, the worship of aruahs (spirits) was also developed. Along with their own religious beliefs, other world religions were widely spread among the Turkic-speaking tribes inhabiting the territory of Kazakhstan and Central Asia: Christianity, Manichaeism, Buddhism. The latter was especially popular among aristocrats and Turkic nobility of the kaganate era.

Key words: nomadism, tengrianism, shamanism, hylozoism, pantheism, cult of Heaven, Umai, Christianity, Manichaeism, Buddhism.

THE INFLUENCE OF ETHNO-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE NOMADIC CIVILIZATIONS OF EURASIA ON THE PECULIARITIES OF THE ART OF THE TURKIC WORLD

In the modern conditions, scientists of Kazakhstan, Russia and other Central Asian republics pay great attention to the study of the peculiarities of the formation and development of nomadic civilization. In the scientific literature, we see established approaches, when scientists associate the spatial boundaries of civilizations with climatic and hard-to-reach features. In a narrow sense, the word “Eurasia” means the Great Plane from the Carpathian Mountains to China. In this space, non-Eurasian civilization could prevail. The cultural space began to move away from each other after the adoption of Christianity by Slavic peoples, and the majority of Turkic ethnic groups-Muslims, all this influenced further cultural and economic ties. Under these conditions, Russia moves to the West and creates colonialism to other parts of Eurasia, and the Turkic civilization is dominated by Eastern elements.

Key words: eurasianism, passionarism, Westernization, artifacts, demythologization, megalithic structures, Scythian-Siberian animalism, “animal style”, pictograms, architectural structure.
