This monograph explores the mechanisms and conditions of forming a negative legal consciousness in our society. This tradition had already stabilized by the end of the 19th century, which is why the question of forming a legal consciousness and the essence of law arises. This paper is devoted to addressing these theoretical and methodological issues. The author reviews the mechanisms underlying the development of law, starting with the ‘universal level of law’ inherent in relationships between animals. Drawing on studies by ethologists and political anthropologists, it offers a logical model according to which the development of society is determined by the degree of individuals’ integration, which leads to the formation of a requirement for trust as a fundamental category of human existence and to the allocation of the role of the exclusiveness category for the formation of society. This allows a common model for mechanisms of justice to be formed and for the nature of law itself to be determined.
The book is intended for specialists in the fields of philosophy, law, social and historical psychology, cultural theory and political science, as well as for those who are interested in social philosophy and methodologies used in the study of social problems.

The book of philosopher and psychoanalyst Alexander Smulyansky explores the connection between the paternal metaphor and the instance of “the analyst’s desire”. Jacques Lacan, who was conducting such a study in the mid-20th century, was not able to present its results due to his expulsion from the International Psychoanalytical Association and deprivation of the right to train analysts in 1963. The fact that the connection between the paternal metaphor and the instance of “the analyst’s desire” was not fully delineated, soon after Lacan’s death led to the analytical discourse getting interfused with that of the university, where this desire took a secondary position as one of the regulators of the analyst’s behavior during sessions, and the question of its untamed and underexplored sources brought up by Lacan  was removed from the agenda. The book aims to get back to this question, trace the origins of the analyst’s desire to the desire of Freud, and explore on this basis the origins of psychoanalytical practice, at the same time arguing the unavoidable character of its unrelenting intradepartmental conflicts. 
This book is designed for psychologists, psychoanalysts, philosophers, and culturologists.

The monograph aims to explore physical, structural, and technological characteristics of resonant segments of electrodynamic slow-wave structures and metamaterial structures in order to create on their basis multifunctional components, nodes, and modules providing miniaturization and enhanced electrical parameters and properties of microwave frequency selective devices. The designs developed are promising for applying in modern telecommunication facilities.
The book is designed for technical specialists and researchers in electrodynamics, engineering, microwave band devices, and antenna feed, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students of physics and radio engineering.
