Oleg Maltsev

Abstract

In the context of contemporary society, a significant challenge in investigating subcultures, traditions, and religions lies in the divergence of opinions among the majority of scholars concerning the focal point of examination. There is a growing fascination with delving into these domains, leading to an escalating number of scholarly publications focused on investigating and comprehending diverse issues in this domain. Nevertheless, as the quantitative metrics rise, the disparities in evaluations of identical subjects among various researchers become conspicuous.
