Introduction. The study deals with semantic analysis of game vocabulary in Russian dialects of the Republic of Mordovia. The thematic diversity of dialect vocabulary makes it possible to identify the features of traditional folk culture. The aim of the study is to conduct a semantic analysis of dialect units referring to the game vocabulary and to identify the peculiarities of their functioning.
Materials and Methods. The material of the study is the “Dictionary of Russian Dialects on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia”. The lexical units are categorized into semantic groups based on the classifications presented in the linguistic literature (Ya. V. Myznikova, M. M. Ugryumova), taking into account criteria such as the age of participants, the nature of the action, and the way the game is organized.
Results. In the course of the study, several semantic groups are identified, within which the dialectal game lexicon is categorized into subgroups. The group “active games” includes lexical units denoting the names of children's games, with the names of several games that have survived to the present day; the group “age games” includes the names of “youth games”. There are numerous dialectal units denoting old folk games, games with objects, and objects for games; dialectal units denoting the names of games that traditionally accompanied some holidays, usually religious ones, are also recorded. The authors consider the correlation between linguistic and extralinguistic factors in describing regional identity of Russian people living in the territory of the Republic of Mordovia.
Discussion and Conclusion. The analysis proves that game activity is an integral part of human life. The conclusions drawn by the authors contribute to the preservation of ethnocultural heritage and contribute to the development of semantics and ethnolinguistics. Prospects for further research are related to the study of nationally specific linguistic units taking into account the relationship between language and culture. The materials of the article can be useful in teaching the Russian language when studying its dialectal and linguocultural peculiarities.

Introduction. The study of the historical and cultural heritage of small towns in Russia, such as Alatyr, is of particular importance in the context of preserving national memory.

Introduction. After the country's transition from a socialist to a market development model, Russian regions found themselves amid fierce competition for federal resources, outward investment, human resources potential. Therefore, an integral part of the activities of regional administrations has become the creation of an attractive image of the territory, the formation of its new strengths.

Materials and Methods. The study presents an analysis of the texts of the messages from the Head of the Republic of Mordovia to the State Assembly of the Republic of Mordovia from 1996 to 2024 for the use of the concepts of "brand" and "image". General scientific methods are used, such as systemic, comparative-historical, structural-functional. The analytical and quantitative characteristics of the studied texts were revealed using the content analysis method.
Results. In the text of the messages from the Head of Mordovia, the targeted steps of the government of Mordovia to create an image of a successful region were identified and then analyzed. The main markers of the image of Mordovia were economic and political stability, the struggle for leadership in the Finno-Ugric world, sports development and a healthy lifestyle culture, and the activity of the NPO sphere. The stages in the image work were identified. The connection between adjustments to various aspects of the image and the change of the highest official of the Republic of
Mordovia was revealed. The value of the message from the Head of the Republic of Mordovia as an object of research of the government strategy for the development of the region and the effectiveness of its implementation was confirmed.
Discussion and Conclusion. The problem of an attractive image of the region was posed from the first document in 1996 and went through stages from identifying key growth points, stabilizing the directions of maintaining the regional image to the regression of the topic and moving to support the creation of local brands. The work
contributes to the scientific development of the topic of the image of Mordovia. The study can be continued in the direction of studying government bodies as the main subject in the sphere of forming the image of the territory.

Introduction. The collapse of the USSR is one of the most important events in the history of XX century. The political parties consider significance of this historical event, that is reflected in their rhetoric. CPRF and LDPR are considered as key actors of the historical policy in Russia since these parties have been updating the memory
of the collapse of the USSR since the 1990s. The aim of the study is to consider the features of the actualization of the crisis of the Soviet Union in the historical policies of the CPRF and the LDPR.
Materials and Methods. The materials of the study include the election programs of Russian political parties. The research methods are actor-oriented approach (M. Bernhard, Ya. Kubik) and comparative analysis of the key actors of the historical policy.
Results. The study revealed that the key actors of the party’s historical policy – CPRF and LDPR – point out different reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Communist party of the Russian Federation consider that the crisis was caused by subjective factors, while Liberal-Democratic party of Russia state that those were
objective factors. The findings of the study prove high relevance of the problem of the collapse of the USSR for Russian political parties.
Discussion and Conclusion. Political parties of Russia that are interested in updating the memory of turning points in history achieve certain political goals, such as the increase of electoral support and strengthening the legitimacy of the course of the political party. The historical policy is aimed at building party’s identity. The results of the study may be useful for identifying patterns in the historical policy of the CPRF and the LDPR, which have been parliamentary parties in Russia for more than 30 years. These parties, despite their inherent ideological antagonism, jointly contribute to increasing the significance of history, which has a positive effect on national identity.

Introduction. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a malignant neoplasm of the lymphatic system, necessitating investigation into its regional epidemiology and pathohistological characteristics. The aim of the study is to identify the trends in HL incidence and mortality in the Republic of Mordovia for 2013–2023 and to compare these data with nationwide figures for the Russian Federation.
Materials and Methods. Research data were obtained from the medical statistics registries of the Republic of Mordovia and the Russian Federation for the period of 2013–2023, supplemented by publications on HL epidemiology and pathology. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated using the direct standardization method (European Standard Population 2013, ESP-2013). Inter-group differences were assessed using one-way and multifactorial analysis of variance (ANOVA; α = 0,05).
Results. The study demonstrated a regional incidence rate exceeding the national average by 65 %. Furthermore, incidence among females was 29 % higher than among males. A significant decline in mortality was observed (43,3 % in males, 19,6 % in females). By 2023, this reduction surpassed the national average by 45 percentage
points (pp) for males and 76 pp for females.
Discussion and Conclusion. The significant decline in mortality rates indicates the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions within the region. However, the persistently high incidence rate, particularly among females, translates into a continued elevated risk of HL mortality in the Republic of Mordovia compared to national levels. These data provide a foundation for further oncological and hematological research in the region and necessitate ongoing epidemiological surveillance focused on addressing the identified disparities.
