The article deals with the problem of re-socialization of ex-convicts in the UK and describes the ways of solving this problem. Particular attention is paid to the activities of non-profit organizations in the UK, which currently address the most common issues that appear during resocialization related to the lack of housing, employment opportunities for a person released from prison, as well as the loss of social ties necessary for successful resocialization. During the research we used the following scientific methods: study of the material on the given topic, analysis of the activities of non-profit organizations, as well as other methods of scientific knowledge. As a result of the study we came to the conclusion that most of the re-socialization work nowadays is done not by state structures, but by specialized non-profit organizations. However, in order for this assistance to be effective and contribute to the reduction of recidivism, it is necessary to create a strong system of interaction between public authorities of different levels and public organizations.

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the study of the image of Russia in various sciences – social psychology, history, political science, political geography. The issue of forming a positive image of Russia takes an important place in the system of the country's priorities. The study of the country's image should consider both of its sides – in the world ("external image") and at home ("internal image"), which can often include contradictory, multidirectional trends. We propose to study the image of the country as an integral one, since it reflects the images of the territory, culture, people, national symbols, ideas about political power (such as images of the state, power, political institutions, leaders). The aim of the study was to develop a program for diagnosing the image of Russia among foreign military personnel, to diagnose the image of Russia among cadets (foreign military personnel) and to identify the most informative criteria and indicators for assessing the image of the Russian state. During the study, criteria, and indicators for assessing the image of Russia in the minds of foreign military personnel were identified. The methodological basis is the strategy of mixing methods: a pedagogical experiment, a survey method (questionnaires, in-depth interviews, case studies), an information analysis method (essay analysis), generalization and systematization of research results, design of educational and methodological recommendations. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the fact that new methodological approaches are proposed to the development of a program for the formation of a positive image of Russia while teaching the disciplines of the social and humanitarian cycle. The practical significance of the work lies in the opportunity of introducing it into the educational process to correct the image of Russia among foreign military personnel: in setting goals and objectives, determining the content, methodology, and results of the learning process; in holding extracurricular and educational events, organizing different forms of cultural, leisure and everyday activities.
