The article is devoted to the study of political identity in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The author pays particular attention to the modern interpretation of the concept of 'Congolité' – Congolese identity, which is in many ways identical to the idea of national citizenship. The concept of 'Congolité' itself is considered in the article as a set of legal norms, as an instrument of electoral struggle and as a symbolic construct. The concept has acquired a new meaning in the context of the 2021 draft law, and its return to domestic politics is significant for understanding the mood of Congolese society. The author also tries to identify the main lines of the identity debate and concludes that one of its constants is the problem of the political-legal status of the Rwandafon minority (Banyarwanda / Banyamulenge), and another is regional-linguistic fragmentation, which is reinforced by economic-demographic specificity. Both of these factors have a significant impact on internal voting patterns. The discourse of autochthonous 'purity' is seen as exacerbating this fragmentation and as generating conflict in Congo's relations with states in the region, particularly Rwanda.

Relevance. The construction industry produces a third of global waste, much of it is not recycled, ending up in landfills and polluting the environment. Between 2000 and 2020, the volume of construction work has increased more than 12-fold. The flip side of the process is a proportional increase in waste. In the insulation materials market and in the construction industry in general, the relevance of the lean manufacturing concept is growing, as it can be used to reduce the amount of resources consumed and increase business efficiency.Purpose. This article considers the developed measures for implementation of the concept of lean production in the framework of strategic management of the enterprise at the plant of the market of thermal insulation materials.Objectives. Within the framework of the concept realization the excessive quality is reduced, the system of personnel training is implemented and the level of competitiveness of the enterprise is increased.Methodology. The object of the study is the plant of Belgorod region, the leader in labor productivity in the city of Belgorod. The works were carried out from 2021 to 2023.Results. Due to the implemented program labor productivity increased by 2,0%, the number of scrap was reduced from 1,7% to 0,8%, new strategies for the development of the company were developed due to the introduction of personnel training system.Conclusions. The program of increase of competitiveness of the enterprise of branch of heat-insulating materials on the basis of introduction of the concept of lean production at its projection on other companies given in the present article is perspective in the plan of increase of competitiveness of the Russian Federation in the world arena, in fact the economy of the country depends on efficiency of subjects functioning in it.

Relevance. The problems of sustainable development, the development of a resource-saving economy, and a closed-loop economy are becoming increasingly relevant for the Russian Federation, as a state whose economy accounts for a significant volume of its raw materials sector. The stable state of the extractive industry enterprises, the continuing internal and external demand for natural resources of our country reinforce the need to form and implement a balanced macro- and mesoeconomical resource conservation policy, financial and investment support for extractive and processing enterprises to implement environmental and environmental programs, as well as further development and improvement of economic tools for managing resource conservation processes.The purpose of the study is to determine the composition of the main economic tools for managing resourcesaving processes presented in modern Russian economics and found in the practice of individual business entities. The objectives are as follows: to investigate the theoretical foundations of the development of the main economic instruments for managing resource conservation processes; to determine the main directions of modern macroeconomic policy, implemented state programs of the Russian Federation of an environmental orientation; to propose a general description of economic instruments for managing resource conservation processes.The methodology is a combination of general scientific research methods – analysis, synthesis of received information, interpretation of data. The study uses data from the statistical observation of current (operational) environmental protection costs in the Russian Federation, posted on the official website of the Federal Statistics Service. Results. Some recommendations are proposed to expand the possibilities of using economic tools for managing resource conservation processes in the subjects of the Russian Federation.Conclusions. In modern Russian economics, in general, the composition of economic instruments for managing resource-saving processes has been formed. The main economic tool for managing resource-saving processes on the part of the state is government subsidies to the regions of Russia. Economic entities, primarily corporate businesses, also make a significant contribution to protective and environmental measures.

Relevance. Global and tectonic shifts in the world economy that occurred in the XXI century in the world inevitably reflected on the state of national economies. The Russian economy, over a decade of economic sanctions against it, which are practically open-ended sabotage by the United States and a number of Western countries against the Russian critical infrastructure - the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on September 26, 2022, has found itself in a situation of de facto complete stoppage of export-import operations in the field of foreign trade with European countries.The purpose is to study the institutional foundations of the formation of a resource-innovative model of economic growth in the modern Russian economy. The objectives are interrelated and consist in the following: to analyze an array of economic scientific papers on the problem of research; to analyze the institutional foundations for the formation of a resource-innovative model of the development of the Russian economy; to determine the dynamics of budget financing of scientific research for the period from 2012 to 2022, etc. Methodology is a combination of general scientific research methods – analysis, synthesis of received information, interpretation of data. The information base of the study includes presidential decrees, strategic planning documents, national projects, scientific articles by Russian researchers on the problem under study. Results: the main problems of forming a resource-innovative model of economic growth in Russia at the present stage of economic development are identified; the shortcomings of the state policy in the field of financing R&D, innovative solutions and products that hinder the activities of innovative enterprises in the real sector of the economy are revealed.Conclusions. The Russian economy remains raw in its essential content. However, the introduction of digitalization technologies, artificial intelligence, new ideas and knowledge are gradually forming a resourceinnovative model for the development of the Russian economy.
