Abstract. In the 21st century, the economy is becoming the main battleground between countries. When military actions are supplemented by sanctions, the force of such a strike is truly catastrophic. The Russian Federation has been subjected to the pressure of unprecedented sanctions. Everyone was affected by this powerful blow: from the country`s leadership and the richest elites to ordinary citizens. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to identify important lessons for the Russian Federation to reduce the negative impact of sanctions. To do this, the authors examined two examples of countries under sanctions. If Iran has only been in the conditions of sanctions for a long time, then for Syria the situation was complicated by the civil war. The authors came to the conclusion that it is important for the Russian Federation to study the Iranian and Syrian experience in depth. It is noted that for the Russian Federation, a significant advantage is the provision of natural resources which is considered as a satisfactory food security. It is also critically important for further sustainable development to form a "support group" out of the countries that have not joined the sanctions and are ready to develop trade, economic and cooperative relationships. It is important to prevent the decline in the external competitiveness of products and services which is a characteristic decline of the autarkic economy, and to continue the implementation of the import program. Another critical task is to prevent the outflow of qualified personnel by creating favorable conditions for life and work.
Keywords: sanctions, foreign trade, economic competitiveness, impact of sanctions, overcoming sanctions, Russian Federation, Iran, Syria
Highlights:
♦ as world experience shows, sanctions are introduced quickly, but are slowly being lifted;
♦ the important factor of stable domestic economy for Russia is high availability of basic resources;
♦ it is critically important to prevent military actions on the territory of the Russian Federation, to maintain and increase support of explicit and implicit allies;
♦ it is necessary to provide all possible support for favorable conditions for life and work of young people in Russia;
♦ in a closed economy, there is a potential danger of reducing competitiveness of enterprises.
Abstract. The purpose of the study is to confirm the hypothesis of excessive centralization of public resources in the federal budget. The course of the study: the indicators of the proportions of the vertical movement of budgetary resources between the federal budget and the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation are summarized. The dynamics of federal budget revenues and their relationship with budget transfers, the percentage of return of funds from the center to the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation are analyzed. Linear parameters of the dynamics of the structure of vertical proportions of the connection between the federal budget and the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation for 20062020 are revealed. The parameters of subsidization and balance, the dependence of inter-budgetary transfers of budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation on various factors are analyzed. The coefficients of asymmetry of the parameters of subsidization of the subjects of the Russian Federation for 2005, 2015, 2010 and 2019 are calculated. Theoretically, the change in the series of subsidization of the subjects of the Russian Federation from its asymmetry is considered. Results: the hypothesis of the study is confirmed.

Abstract. The article considers in detail issues of assessing the activity of legal entities operating in the current economic period, which is characterized by commodity-money relations. It focuses on the modification of existing methods for calculating the quality indicators of its implementation in the conditions of diversification of business processes of legal entities (organizations). The purpose of the study is to form a tool consisting of appropriate techniques designed of organizations to conduct a comprehensive analysis of their activity, serving as the fundamental basis for the development of systemic measures to optimize the final indicators under study, depending on the factors that form them. The author sees such tool in the cost approach to the definition of static and dynamic indicators, that identify the result-effectiveness and expenses-effectiveness of cash flows and the resulting direct and indirect monetary effect from their changes over time integrating all the estimated parameters and, consequently, ensuring the continuity of accounting and analytical procedures, that give the integrity of conclusions and the organicity of the measures taken. Its formation is carried out through the method of differentiation and the method of logarithm, the symbiosis of which brings accurate resultant and factor cost parameters of organizations` activity and their ranking by degree of significance, affecting on the list and algorithm of management actions to exclude imputed expenses. The modified methods have been tested on the example of a large organization (corporation) whose activity cover all parametric elements, subject to formalization, and reserves of economic growth have been identified according to the calculated indicators.
Keywords: organizations, modified methods of assessing of the activity, static and dynamic indicators, cash flows, cash outflows
Highlights:
♦ the conceptual approach to the construction of modified methods for assessing the activity of organizations under the current economic mechanism is defined;
♦ the indicators for assessing the activity of organizations in the short-term (static) and long-term (dynamic) period are proposed, based on the cost approach;
♦ the analysis is carried out and the directions of improvement of indicators of activity of the concrete organization, based on the cost approach to assessing of their parameters in statics and dynamics, are recommended.
Abstract. The article investigates asynchronous and systematic issues of educational management in the context of digitalization of higher professional education. Some advantages and disadvantages of various forms of educational work are considered, the results of the analysis of existing research in this area, own observations and diagnostic work in the format of a non-standardized survey of students, teachers and representatives of the management of educational institutions are presented. The study was conducted in 2020 on the basis of several regions, the sample for interviewing was 65 people. Presenting the results of the study, the author points out the problem of a heterogeneous and ambiguous attitude to asynchrony on the part of management personnel, on the one hand, and acceptance, the desire to use advantages of the asynchrony as a leading feature of digital education on the part of the main participants in the learning process (students and teachers), on the other hand.
Keywords: management of an educational organization, labor market requirements, digitalization, digital economy, digital education, digital ecosystem, asynchrony, the concept of digital transformation of educational systems

Abstract. A substantial analysis of the main scientific approaches to risk management in the activities of business entities in the digital economy is presented. The key categories and methodological foundations of risk tolerance of organizations are considered, the author`s approach to the assessment and analysis of the stability of companies in the conditions of uncertainty of the entrepreneurial activity is proposed. The concept of "economic risk" is clarified, which is presented in the form of a structural and functional system reflecting the ratio of the cost components of the risk price and the corresponding costs. The aim of the work is to develop methodological approaches to assessing the risk tolerance of entrepreneurial companies at all stages of the development and commercialization of new products, works, services in the digital economy. As a result of applying an integrated approach to the level of risk tolerance, an individual algorithm for assessing the degree of the company`s resistance to external and internal factors, in the ratio of acceptable cost expressions of risk and financial risks, has been developed. The method of ensuring the assessment of the effectiveness of organizational decision-making in the conditions of ensuring the risk tolerance is presented, which is based on the integration of the main activities of the company with their constant analysis and control. A proprietary algorithm for analyzing the risk tolerance of business entities within the framework of the current control of the marginal cost indicators of their activities is proposed.
