Abstract:
This article explores the writings of foreign historians, who studied the factors of the Kazakhstan tragedy of 1932-1933. Covered the structure and content of the research. Investigates the controversial questions of the history of collectivization in Kazakhstan, as reflected in a number of major monographic studies. Defended the thesis that despite the fact that these scholars hold different, sometimes diametrically opposite conceptual approaches, their research describes a representative source base, the solidity and thoroughness of coverage of this issue.

Abstract:
As human beings, we are aware of the constant changes that world is experiencing rather rapidly. Technology has an important impact on our present and very likely on our future as well. The population flow is increasing, caused by different reasons such as jobs, family, better future outlook etc. As a person moves, so their culture changes, willingly or not. In majority of cases, moving to another place forces a person to adapt to new cultures and that also includes learning the target culture’s language. It is argued by many experts that through the learning of a new language a person can become very familiar with the culture itself. In that process, a certain filter is needed that will keep balance and minimize conflicts between the “old” and the “new” culture of an individual. That filter is intercultural education. The aim of this research was to determine the extent to which intercultural education has been established in tertiary education in Bosnia and Herzegovina through Foreign Language Learning. The instrument used for this research consists of 50 questions comprising four subscales: intellectual flexibility, interaction engagement, interaction confidence, and attitudes. The research sample consists of 160 students from three universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina two of which are private universities and one state university. The results show that the type of the university, students’ educational level, and gender significantly affect their intercultural development. The significance of the findings of this study lies in the fact that they might be employed during the process of planning and execution of foreign language teaching and learning steps.

Abstract:
Object of study: the development of the theme of the image of France and French people in the Soviet and Russian screens. Subject of research: the evolution of the basic concepts and ideological stereotypes theme image of France and French people in the Soviet and Russian screens. Research objectives: to determine the place and role of the theme of the image of France and French people in the Soviet film industry compared with the trends of the Russian modern era; to study the cinematic, political, ideological, social, cultural context, the main stages of the project stated theme, direction, goals, objectives, concept interpretation of this topic in the Soviet and Russian screens; to carry out a comparative analysis of classification and ideology, content models, modifications of the genre, Soviet and Russian cinema stereotypes associated with the interpretation of the image of France and French people. As for the statistical data, it can be noted that the Russian cinematographers' attention to the French theme has increased significantly (about twice) in the post-Soviet period. So for the Soviet years, 128 films with French characters were staged, where as in the last 26 years (1992-2018) of such films 78 have been removed. With the dominance of the drama (75 drams in the Soviet period and 25 in the post-Soviet period), the share of films melodramatic genre (from 14 in the Soviet period to 20 – in the post-Soviet). Consequently, interest in French subjects in Soviet and Russian cinema is not accidental, which is understandable - the history of Russia and France is closely connected, and this is not only the history of wars, but also friendship, mutual attraction of cultures.

Abstract:
Transgender is an important topic for research nowadays in academia. These people are fighting for their rights immensely and it is coming only through the verdicts of various courts of India be it the apex court or the lower courts. We the commoners make their lives unbearable irrespective of the verdicts they are looked down by us. The term transgender is differentiated by us, the very so called social and sensible being, we differentiate transgender from the male and the female and we created the so called “third gender”. Though India is progressing and advancing in leaps and bounds, she is moving towards accepting the third gender by only the virtue of court verdict. This paper is an attempt to discuss various problematic issues face by transgender in India.

Abstract:
The aim of the research was to find out the different types of aggressiveness among sportsmen performing individual sports and then compare the results obtained among selected types of sports. The theoretical analysis of the aggressiveness issue was carried out on the basis of a literature study, which is also based on an empirical research. A standardized psychological questionnaire B − D − I, aimed at diagnosing aggression, was used to obtain the factual material. We analyse and compare the values obtained on the basis of the psychological questionnaire B − D − I and interpret the results obtained. For better clarity, we provide measured values in the form of tables and figures. In the subtest irritability the highest initial measurements (IM) were reached in the value 9,1 which indicates significant rise of the level of the given type of aggressiveness. One respondent belonging to the file B (cross-country skiing) and one respondent from the file D (fitness and body building) have this high extent of irritability. By testing the level of negativism and subsequent comparison of the median values between individual sets, we have achieved results that point to the dominant occurrence of this type of aggressiveness in the file C (cycling). The analysis of the results related to the occurrence of the level of resentment in the individual examined files showed the highest IM rate of 8.75. Such IM values were measured in two sets, namely in the group B (cross-country skiing) and D (fitness and bodybuilding).

Abstract:
This article investigates the reason of ‘absence’ of the aspect category in the Kazakh language. The Kazakh language is considered to be temporal, but not aspectual, in spite of the fact that this language has a set of developed aspectual planes of contents and a plan of single continuum of expression. There are so many subjective reasons of denying of the aspect category in the Kazakh language. One of the reasons is that several categories of a verb function in a single continuum of expression and it makes ‘an splice effect’, which complicates to identify each category separately, including the aspect category.

The aspect category is not only the problem of the Kazakh language, but also it is the problem of Turkic languages.

In spite of this, language has objectively all prerequisites for having this category, the Kazakh language has no still the aspect category in the morphology of a verb. Our task is to trace the history of the aspectological thought in Turkic studies to find answers to the questions was or was not the aspect category in diachrony? Kazakh language as the representative of Turkic languages has several periods of its development: the Ancient period, the Eurocentrism, the Soviet and the new periods.

Abstract:
This paper will explore the theme of using analysis of references as a method of studying scientific connections. We will show, how exactly this method can be used when studying works of Russian historians of the late XIX – early XX centuries. In this paper we will analyze a work by a remarkable Russian historian and paleographer O. A. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia named “Western pilgrimages in the Middle Ages”. Through the references in this work we will learn, which studies have had the most impact on Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia when she was writing her work. We will also research these studies and their authors, their perception of history and scientific background. The results of our analysis will help us to make some conclusions regarding the influence of French and German historiographical traditions on Russian science.
