Overton Window as a Mean of Dehumanization of the West in the Information Society
ILYIN Alexey Nikolaevich
Modern Western values are undergoing a creeping transformation. There is an aggressive attack on the healthy culture of “new values”. Sexual promiscuity, tolerance to homosexuality, same-sex marriage and other phenomena leading to dehumanization of the society are being promoted. Influential transnational actors spread new values with the purpose of dehumanization of population of the whole countries, atomization of the societies, depopulation, neutralization of social protest against the treacherous transnational capital. The article presents the mechanism of the “Overton window” technology implementation based on the example of the new values advocacy in the West. The novelty of the author’s approach is the determination of ideas-goals and ideas-means in the “Overton window” mechanism functioning.
Keywords: the West, Overton window, tolerance, legitimation, depopulation, sexual perversions, dehumanization.

Brain Drain in Computer and Information Sciences: a Bibliometric Estimate
YUREVICH Maxim Andreevich, AUSHKAP Daria Sergeevna
The article proposes a methodology for assessing the scope and identifying areas of intellectual migration based on bibliometric information. Analysis of the Russian authors’ publication activity in computer sciences in the period of 2008-2016 shows that approximately 250 scientists can be considered emigrants. Within the framework of the study, three standard models of Russian scientists’ migration were identified. The results obtained can hardly indicate a large-scale “brain drain”. At the same time, only 10% of scientists bear the marks of returning to their homeland.
