The text of the abstract should be internally coherent and logically structured (following the logic of the text). Citation is not used in the abstract. The abstract should not contain any material that is not contained in the article.
Keywords

If necessary, it is allowed to refer to several pages: [Petrov 2019, 52– 54], between these page numbers a short dash should always be used, not a hyphen. Before sending the material, it is necessary to make sure that:
