In the context of developing domestic and inbound tourism in the Russian Federation, increasing its share in GDP, which is in line with the national goal set by the President of the Russian Federation [7], and increasing the number of domestic tourist trips by 2 times per capita by 2035, which is in line with the Tourism Development Strategy [6], it is important to develop tourism in small historical cities and improve existing routes to meet modern challenges and opportunities for expanding the range of tourist services. At the same time, the development of tourism in small historical cities will, to some extent, prevent the outflow of young people to large cities, providing them with interest and jobs in tourism in their small homeland. There is also an interest for the local population that is not involved in tourism: the development of tourism contributes to the development of tourism infrastructure and improves the quality of life for the local population. The article will consider the city of Pereslavl-­Zalessky as a tourist attraction center from the perspective of its potential based on the existing tourism and recreational potential. Currently, the city is famous for its churches and cathedrals, Lake Pleshcheyevo, and is part of the “Great Golden Ring.” However, in order to distribute tourist flows, smooth out off-season periods, and attract a wider range of tourists to the city, the study will explore the city’s tourism potential and propose new areas for tourism development, such as film tourism, eco-tourism, industrial tourism, mystical tourism, and festival tourism, which complement each other in creating combined routes and attract a new target audience of tourists.

The main funds are the key element of the entire structure of museum work. Being essentially carriers of information, the main funds stretch the thread from the past to the future through the present, allowing each generation to create its own interpretations of the events that took place. Thus, one of the most important functions of the museum is socialization, which means the transfer of experience from older generations to younger ones, finds its support in material carriers. It follows from this that the main museum funds are an important subject of research not only in museology, but also in such sciences as history, cultural studies, statistics, and sociology. The sections «Introduction» and «Literature Review» examine the historical aspects of museum funds and provide an overview of the literature on this topic. The section «Conclusion» summarizes the work carried out, identifies the reasons for the intensive development of the museum sector of the Republic of Tatarstan at the beginning of the 21st century. This study examines the phenomenon of museum collections using statistical data from the Republic of Tatarstan. The internal reporting forms of 8 NK museums were used for a period of more than 20 years – ​from 1999 to 2022. The dynamics of fund replenishment is shown for all types of museums – ​municipal, state, and museum reserves located on the territory of the republic. Reference points, which are data for 1999, 2015 and 2022, allow us to see the process in development and are the starting material for the subsequent problem analysis of main funds. For the first time, this work introduces statistical data on the museum main funds of the Republic of Tatarstan with preliminary conclusions into scientific circulation. The author considers the presented information as a basis for subsequent research.

This article examines the phenomenon of the Khabarovsk Regional House of Folk Art as a socio-­cultural institution, and defines this institution as an institutional form. A comparative analysis of the stages of formation, historical and socio-­cultural processes, allows us to identify the factors that led to the formation of a stable social structure aimed at regulating the interaction of participants in amateur art, masters of decorative and applied arts, folk crafts and creativity of the peoples inhabiting the region. In the context of studying the history of the institution, an analysis of interdepartmental relations has been carried out. Schematically presented types of interactions make it possible to determine the place in the structure of regional socio-­cultural institutions, as well as to assess the degree of impact on the processes of inculturation of the region in a specific historical period. It has been established that in the early years of its existence, the Khabarovsk Regional House of Folk Art was an institution duplicating the powers of related departments, and its establishment as a socio-­cultural institute took place in the 1950s. Subsequently, the House of Folk Art proved to be an institutional form capable of transforming and adapting to historical and cultural conditions, while maintaining and expanding its functionality. The result of the research is the creation of a model of the functioning of the House of Folk Art, which can be applied in the study of similar institutions in other regions. In addition, this material can be used in the practical activities of modern cultural institutions, in order to identify, on the basis of historically established forms, new types of interaction with the population of the region.

Currently, popular science tourism is actively supported at the state level. The Concept of developing popular science tourism emphasizes the key role of higher education institutions in popularizing Russian scientific achievements through tourism programs. Domestic and foreign researchers note that universities and institutes can become attractive objects of display. Indeed, the scientific and research infrastructure of universities, including material, organizational, financial, informational and legal components, provides a wide variety of opportunities for amateur tourists and professional tourists, students and young scientists. Educational and scientific laboratories, public access centers, botanical gardens and arboretums, and museums allow tourists to see advanced scientific developments, participate in experiments, observations, and experiments. The student tourism development program assumes that higher education institutions will not only provide display facilities, but also accommodation facilities. Udmurt State University has significant potential for the development of popular science tourism – ​numerous laboratories of technical, natural science and humanitarian profile, a bio-geo-ecological station and a botanical garden, a scientific, educational and exhibition center, and a center for additive technologies of general access. The University has established cooperation with educational organizations in the region and conducts educational and career guidance tours and workshops for schoolchildren. A more active interaction of the university with travel companies will increase the flow of tourists and make their age group more diverse. Udmurt State University has all the necessary resources for further and more successful development of scientific and educational tourism.

The Volgograd Region is a promising region for the development of many types and forms of active tourism. The combination of unique natural conditions creates all the necessary prerequisites for the recreational development of the region, especially in the field of active tourism. The large size of the territory (112.9 thousand sq. km.) determines the development of the existing recreational zones and the creation of new ones, promising for the organization of tourism. In this article, one of the most promising areas for the development of active tourism in the Volgograd region is the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin, which is used as a model site for applied research work of the Department of Geography and Cartography of the Volgograd State University. When studying the recreational potential of the researched site, the method of expert assessments was used. The experts were tour operators for domestic tourism. According to the analysis of expert assessments, it is revealed that the development of recreational tourism in the study area is a promising area. Based on the analysis of natural conditions, recreational potential and expert evaluation data, the team of authors outlines the types of sports tourism and their features for development on the territory of the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin. Within the framework of the research, a model of sports and health tourism is created in the area under study, which includes weekend tours of various types of sports tourism. With the help of the ArcGIS10.0 software, this model of development of active tourism in the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin is presented in the form of a cartographic scheme that clearly demonstrates the location of routes of promising types of active tourism.

The subject of consideration in this article is a humanitarian examination. The authors’ research object was technological projects, processes, technology and technical in general. The article raises the problem of theoretical and methodological foundations of humanitarian expertise of technological projects and processes. The urgency of considering this problem is manifested in connection with the development of scientific and technological progress and the penetration of technology into all spheres of human life. Authors of the article suggest the author's conceptual paradigm of humanitarian evaluation, which is formed on the basis of the selection of "the first flowers" of moral consciousness - objective regulators of consciousness - the archetypal bases of morality. At the same time, the moral is viewed as an objective relationship between the ontological relationship in nature between the individual and social consciousness. The model of humanitarian expertise is based on the humanitarian paradigm, which affirms respect for man as the main criterion and content of moral assessment. Unconditional benefit as an ideal pattern of behavior and activity is to provide a person with the most comfortable conditions for his self-realization, the disclosure and functioning of all his essential forces. The authors clearly outline the scope and prospects of humanitarian expertise, and argue that its further development is associated with real steps towards the institutionalization of an integral and autonomous humanitarian expertise. This process involves the following steps: the analysis of practices related to humanitarian expertise and the development of its technology, the development of draft legislative acts related to the institutionalization of expertise, the testing of technologies for humanitarian expertise

The article is devoted to the theory and practice of Soviet constructivism as a creative concept in the design of the XX century in the context of the theory of "production art". Subject of research considers to be theoretical propositions, which were implemented in particular design methods and projects of industrial clothes and constructivist fabrics as an example of practical implementation of the ideas of constructivism. The aim of the study is the examination of constructivism as a creative concept in the design from the point of view of formation peculiarities of its theoretical bases and design methodologies. The hypothesis of the study is the constructivism, which arose under the influence of "industrial art" concept, among other things, suggested the active use of the graphical method of forming and methods of combinatorial programmed forming, which were due to the creative experience in the field of non-objective painting. The study uses the cultural studies approach, which considers design activity of constructivists in close connection with the realities of the era, a systematic approach that allows revealing the relationship of aesthetic theories with the concrete practice of design-design, art analysis in the description of projects of the constructivists. The article proves the influence of the theory of "industrial art" on the formation of the concept of constructivism, analyzes the origins and features of the method of constructivism, especially the graphics method of forming and methods of programmed forming. The article compares the concepts of constructivism with the trends of costume design of the XX century. There are identified the "weak points" of the concept and method of constructivism, which became one of the reasons for failing to fully implement projects in practice. For the first time there were identified the causes of failures in the design of the costume, not associated with ideological attitudes, and with the very creative method. The results of the study fill the insufficiently developed areas in the history of constructivism. Because the constructivism methods remain relevant for modern design, the results of the study can be applied in teaching of "Design" profes-sional disciplines.
