The notion "human capital" is frequently used in modern economic research. In his work "Human Capital Theory", Theodore Schulz, an American economist, considers this term as a measure that determines a person's ability to make money. According to economic theory, human capital is a stock of personal qualities that are formed throughout life: knowledge, skills, talent, health, etc. It should be noted that such qualities are not given to a person only at the moment of birth, they are formed in the process of studying and getting experience. As crisis and transformation processes become deeper nowadays, social image of the society is rapidly changing, all life spheres are being updated, social tension is growing.

Many countries consider the patriotic education of the younger generation as one of the main state tasks. There is a search for new forms, methods and means of the patriotic education of young people. Patriotism is proclaimed a priority value and a leading direction in state policy of studied countries. The traditional means of the patriotic education of young people in Russia and China are singled out. With the widespread use of the Internet environment and mass communications, the sphere of patriotic education of young people is complemented by the introduction of Internet projects. The authors analyse the modern means of patriotic education of the Russian and Chinese youth. Similar means of this process in different countries are detected. The modern possibilities of patriotic education of the Russian and Chinese youth through the use of modern Internet capabilities are discussed in the article. Modern and innovative ways should be used in patriotic education, especially the favourite "toys" of young people: messengers, social networks, the Internet, etc. The authors found that the implementation of patriotic education is determined by individual approaches corresponding to the level of country development. The authors analysed modern Internet projects of the patriotic education of young people that are used in the process of forming civil-patriotic qualities of a young person in Russian and Chinese practice. The experience of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in using Internet projects for the patriotic education of the young generation represents new guidelines for the moral development of Russian and Chinese youth.

The text of this article emphasizes that the history of transplantation as an independent medical industry originated in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the first successful operation to transplant human organs and tissues was performed there by the surgeon Yuri Voronoy. Today Russia is one of the world-leading powers where human organ and tissue transplant operations are performed. Among all the subjects of Russia where transplant operations are carried out, Sverdlovsk region occupies a special place: doctors in this region conduct successful operations on organ and tissue transplantation and make discoveries that are significant for Russian transplantology. The study of Russian laws and regulations regulating relations in the field of transplantology conducted by authors, as well as an analysis of the scientific literature showed that relations in the field of transplantology are not fully regulated by Russian legislation, including criminal law. On the territory of Sverdlovsk region in particular, as well as on the territory of Sverdlovsk region as a whole, it is possible, for example, to carry out transactions for the sale and purchase of human organs and tissues with impunity, if such transactions are not related to causing harm to the life and health of the victim. These deals are illegal, but not punishable. As the analysis of the practice carried out in the framework of this study has shown, the inhabitants of Sverdlovsk region suffered from the imperfection of the norms of Russian legislation regulating relations in the field of transplantology. While the residents of Sverdlovsk region are suffering from illegal transplantation, one cannot speak of the sustainable development of this region. The authors of the study, in order to combat illegal transplantation in Sverdlovsk region, propose that the regional authorities strengthen measures to improve the general legal literacy of the population, introduce a register of citizens' opinions on the posthumous transplantation of their organs and tissues, and introduce mandatory registration of transactions made in Sverdlovsk region, a subject of which are human organs and tissues.
