The subject of the study is the process of development of environmental protection activities of post-Soviet Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, as well as Iran in the Caspian Sea. The study used such methods of historical research as retrospective analysis, comparative analysis, document analysis, periodization method, systematic approach. The author considers such aspects of the topic as the problem of periodization of complex social processes, the actual periodization of the development of joint environmental activities of the Caspian states, the main characteristics of the stages of development of international relations in the field of environmental activities in the Caspian Sea. The author pays special attention to the problem of awareness by the "Caspian five" of the ecological integrity of the Caspian Sea and the need to develop collective solutions to environmental problems and the protection of the natural diversity of the sea. В As a result of the analysis, the author's periodization of the development of environmental activities in the Caspian Sea in the post-Soviet period of the history of the region and the characteristics of the selected stages are proposed, which is the novelty of the study and the author's special contribution to the study of the topic. In total, the author identifies three stages that differ qualitatively from each other (the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s). The periodization is based on a qualitative assessment of the development of relations between the national states of the Caspian region within the framework of the regional subsystem of international relations, characterized as the "Caspian node", which distinguishes it from other well-known approaches to periodization and characterizes as promising.
Aim. To analyze the ecological aspect of the media space discourse in the Caspian region and qualitative changes in the parameters of the media environment, resulting from the state policy of the Caspian states and objective informatisation processes in the region. Material and Methods. Systems approach, geopolitical theory, expert interviews, content analysis and document analysis. Results. Based on the results of the analysis, positive changes in the media environment of the Caspian region were identified, which include the expansion and deepening of the environmental aspect of the Caspian discourse and the quality of the existing resource and infrastructure base. The need to continue efforts to create a common media space for the Caspian region and its qualitative development is stated. Considering the level of complexity of the geopolitical situation in the Caspian region and its borders, as well as the experience of "Editorialising the Caspian States", it is advisable to focus on the exchange of media content within the framework of non-political topics, as military-political topics in the current geopolitical conditions, because of the very serious contradictions in the region, cannot serve integration purposes. Particular attention should be paid to the formation of content that should "work" on an urgent and constructive Caspian agenda, especially its environmental aspect. Conclusion.The need is stated to consistently saturate the media environment with new content within the framework of three cases aimed at developing and strengthening humanitarian cooperation between the countries of the "Caspian Five" in order to form a space of trust, where one of the central places will be occupied by the environmental safety of the region.
