The article analyzes the current problems caused by the sharp aggravation of the confrontation between the collective West and Russia and a number of other equally important changes and processes that form the current critical state of uncertainty about the fate of mankind. Collectively, all these changes are included as integral components in the process of transition of human civilization from industrial to electronic-digital, with its corresponding social reality. Based on the results of scientific understanding of the global problem of mankind, scientists come to a number of conclusions and form concrete proposals within the framework of a Social Megaproject of the XXI century based on the principles of the 'United Eurasia' model. Justifications are given for the need to create, under the leadership of permanent members of the UN Security Council, an 'International Center for Infrastructural Integration' (ICI) with the task of developing a theory of certainty with the inclusion of an algorithm for scientific management of human civilization.

The article analyzes the prospects for creating a new transport system at the geopolitical level, which is a critically important task not only for the coming decades, but also for the very near future. Russia’s active participation in the 'transport redistribution of the world' will make it possible not only to create new elements, but also to radically modernize existing nodes of the transport system. The implementation of the ideas of the Social Megaproject will ensure a southern breakthrough of the trade blockade of Russia, organized by the West because of its own. Modernization of the transport system according to the Megaproject scheme will avoid increasing dependence on the unfriendly policies of neighboring countries in the field of logistics. Unjustified slowness in the deep modernization of the Russian transport system threatens an inevitable rollback to the periphery of the global development of the entire economy of the country, the most important social programs for the Russian population. Indicative indicators of financial and economic justification and model calculations, the economic effect of the increase in tax revenues during the construction and operation of the Integrated Eurasian Transport System and the Trans-Eurasian Development Belt are given, which will determine the development of a number of high-tech industries in Russia, connectivity of the territories of the Russian Federation and improvement of economic interaction between regions, etc. The social effect of the Megaproject is described, both in the railway and in related industries.

The article analyzes the current and developing strategic documents of the Russian Federation on the modernization of the Russian transport system in the context of their impact on the implementation of the Megaproject 'United Eurasia: NOW.' The advantages of implementing the provisions of the Megaproject are revealed in order to achieve almost all the goals of modernizing the country’s transport system, which were outlined in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, the Comprehensive Plan for the Modernization and Expansion of the Main Transport Infrastructure, as well as the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 with a forecast for the period up to 2035. The author concludes that the expediency of implementing the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation on the basis of a Megaproject reflects the relevance of this project and determines the need for its early implementation.

The article examines the law-making activities of public authorities of the Republic of Crimea, as well as the technologies that were used in organizing legislative work, interaction with other authorities and institutions for the purpose of legal integration of the Republic of Crimea. The purpose of the study is to identify the legal instruments that were used by the Republic of Crimea during the almost 9-year period of reunification with Russia, and may be useful in overcoming the difficulties of the transition period in new regions of Russia. An analysis of legislative practice by government bodies of the Republic of Crimea in the period from 2014 to 2023 was carried out. Based on the generalized indicators in the presented article, the author came to the conclusion that the growth of by-law regulation persists throughout the entire analyzed period, while legislative activity is associated, as a rule, with significant events in the political sphere.
