The article discusses the specifics of managing in the conditions of transferring employees to a remote form of work. It studies the positive and negative factors of the communication aspects arising in teams working in a remote format. In particular, it is noted that management should build the communication processes between employees, ensuring clarity and timeliness in the exchange of information. The need to maintain non-verbal communication through conference calls with employees working in a remote format is emphasized, what allows to communicate at a more emotional level and to build strong and effective relationships in the team.

The article deals with the use of digital technologies in education. It is noted that the development of modern society is closely connected with scientific and technological progress, and above all, with the development of technical devices and information technologies.
Modern technological innovations have great opportunities and development prospects. The use of information and communication technologies makes it possible to enrich, qualitatively update educational process and increase its effectiveness.
The article describes the key technological innovations of recent years and features of their application in the educational process. The advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of using digital technologies in educational institutions of various levels (schools, colleges, and Universities) are considered in detail. The prospects of using digital technologies in distance education to increase interest and motivation in learning are evaluated.
It is emphasized that information technologies should not replace the entire process of education and the process of face-to-face communication between students and teachers. The key element in such multi-factor process is the desire of the teacher to introduce creativity and innovation in the educational process, to use more modern, accessible and effective ways to convey information to students.
The author formulated proposals for the use of digital technologies in modern educational practice.

 The article is devoted to conducting a computational experiment and stress test based on the simulation model of non-residents’ participation in the Federal loan bond market constructed by the authors. The model is implemented on the basis of a discrete-stochastic formalization scheme. In the framework of mathematical modeling of non-residents’ participation in the Federal loan bond market, the key task is to determine the overall stability of the system and the degree of impact of critical events occurring in the market on the state economy, what helps to make informed management decisions to ensure economic security. As a result of the experiment, numerical estimates of the main characteristics of the market were obtained and the quality of the model in terms of its structural stability was checked. The impact of changes in the Federal loan bond market caused by the activities of non-residents on the exchange rate of the Russian ruble and on the yield of securities in future issues was assessed. The stress test is based on the assumption that non-residents simultaneously reset all Federal loan bonds that they hold. The results of a computational experiment and a stress test gave an assessment of investments in the Russian economy by the regulator that will be required if the described scenario is implemented.

The article examines the most important steps taken by the Fed and other central banks in the face of the onset of the pandemic. Their actions, mainly the Fed, helped to soften the shock to the global economy. One can even say that the American financial system has been rebuilt in a mobilization manner. At the same time, such restructuring began even before the onset of COVID-19, what allows us to conclude that the monetary authorities, under the guise of a pandemic, accelerated measures to actually reformat financial markets. Something happened in the global financial system that required completely unprecedented measures, and not only on behalf of representatives of the world’s largest banks, who were still associated with the Fed’s shareholders, came to the fore in their development and implementation, but representatives of the largest investment groups such as BlackRock, Vanguard Funds, Fidelity Investments, State Street Global, Goldman Sachs.

The development of foreign trade relations between the European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is influenced by many historical, political, economic, and other factors. The EU considers the EAEU an important partner in terms of imports of strategic raw materials and geographic interconnections on the Eurasian continent. The European Union has a long-term negative trade balance with the EAEU. Mutual foreign trade relations were significantly influenced not only by the sanctions between the EU and Russia but also by the unfavorable price dynamics in the world energy commodity markets, which led to a reduction in their mutual trade. There has been a steady decline in the development of the EU’s comparative advantages over the EAEU. The EU has the largest revealed comparative advantage in machinery and transport equipment, which is also its largest export article. On the contrary, it has the greatest comparative disadvantages in the case of mineral fuels, which account for almost 70% of total EAEU imports. Analysis of intraindustry trade shows that growth is observed in almost all groups, with the greatest growth in food, beverages, and tobacco. Intra-industry trade between the EU and the EAEU is of greatest importance in the group of other goods. In the case of mutually beneficial trade relations between the EU and the EAEU, it is necessary to remedy the geopolitical and geo-economic context and transform the economies under review. At the same time, in connection with the current COVID-19 pandemic, one can expect a significant restructuring of the global economic system aimed at achieving the main goals of economic policy,  such as sustainable, non-inflationary economic growth and low unemployment, what will significantly affect the mutual trade relations of the considered integration groups.

The article considers the historical conditions and natural resource potential of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which predetermined their cooperation in the fuel and energy complex as a priority area. The study also defines the energy component of trade and the institutional structure of the EAEU. The different importance of cooperation in the field of fuel and energy complex for different countries is determined. For Russia’s national security, in which energy provides its foreign trade, the main thing is the demand security, and for other EAEU countries it is the supply security, which is the basis of their stable economic development. The step-bystep creation of energy markets should take into account the requirements of the global energy transition, contribute to the development of Eurasian integration and increase the pace of economic development of countries as a whole.

At present, along with natural and labour resources, the innovative capacity of the State plays an increasingly important role in the development of national economic systems. The article rightly notes that innovation potential is a complex concept, and its components, from resources to infrastructure and legislation, play equal roles in implementing the “transformation” of an innovative idea into a finished domestic product that can compete in the international arena. Innovative capacity plays an important role among the factors determining the global position of the state.
The author believes that competent and effective management can contribute to increasing the innovative potential of Russian industries and, accordingly, increasing the level of international competitiveness of our country.
