• Potapova R.K., Potapov V.V., Komalova L.R. (2020) Perception of multimodal mono- and polyethnic communication
  Perceptual range of interpretations of multimodal mono- and multiethnic communication is substantive dominant of the present study. The present monograph explores informational features perceived from a communication source and received by the recipient through auditory and visual channels. The findings argue the thesis of the relative congruence of the two types of outgoing and incoming information in relation to mono- and poly-ethnic communication. The influence of multimodal communication on the emotional-modal state and speech behavior of recipients is supported by the results of studies of Internet-mediated communication within social network sites.

• Granin R.S. (2019) Analytical eschatology
  The monograph analyzes the features of eschatological ideas and representations in theological, philosophical and occult articulations on the example of the Eastern Christian story about ordeals, the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” and “Egyptian Book of the Dead”. Eschatology is defined as an “eschatological paradigm” – a logical structure of a synchronic-diachronic type, reduced to a system of logical invariants. These concepts helped formalize the application of structural and comparative analysis to eschatological-initiatory concepts in various religious and philosophical traditions. The set of methodological strategies, united by a structural approach, in the analysis of eschatology made it possible to talk about an interdisciplinary field of research – analytical eschatology.

• Pushchaev Yu.V. (2018) Philosophy of the Soviet era: M. Mamardashvili and E. Ilyenkov (energies of repulsion and attraction)
  The monograph represents an appeal to the heritage of the most prominent Russian philosophers of the 20th century. M.K. Mamardashvili and E.V. Ilyenkov are relevant in connection with the comprehension of the Soviet past, about which there are still heated debates. Today they are perceived as almost antipodes, although not immediately obvious, hidden parallels are found between their ideas, due to the general intellectual and spiritual culture of that time. The semantic center of the work is a comparative analysis of the phenomenology of Mamardashvili's consciousness and Ilyenkov's dialectical logic as methods of philosophical thinking.

• Melnik S.V. (2017) Orthodoxy and Hasidism Chabad: A personal model of interreligious dialogue

• Komalova L.R. (2016) Interpersonal communication: From conflict to consensus
  The monograph represents a complex survey of conflict situations realized in interpersonal communication. Exploring the theoretical data supported by the results of the experimental research of authentic spontaneous Russian speech the author formulates “the Concept of Communicative Techniques” with reference to the dynamic model of the conflict situation deployment. The elaborated concept can be implemented by scientific researches, PR-, HR-practitioners, profilers, academicians and students in their everyday life and professional communication.
