Spanish political mentality is a historically determined, multidimensional and systemic result of a long multi-ethnic and transcivilizational process. To study it, a methodological concept of imprinting was used, which was firstly substantiated within the framework of the present study. The article formulates the concept of the imprinting-suggestion phenomenon, the basic structural elements of which are represented primarily by epochal political events, as well as great cultural figures and outstanding governors. Taking into account these invariant predictors, critical periods in the history of Spain that influenced the course of its political mentalization are discussed. Based on methodological potential of the imprinting concept, its root sources — romanization and christianization — are revealed. The article examines the evolution specifics of polymentality in Moorish Spain, emergence of Spanish Catholicism and significance of the Reconquista in forming the foundations of the Spanish mentality. These and other key moments in the history of the Kingdom of Spain from this perspective are still awaiting their researchers. The final section provides an analytical review of the philosophical and theological principles of the Spanish political mentality.

The article dwells on the role of technological sovereignty in ensuring the country’s sustainable development. The authors examine the concept of technological sovereignty, its main components and its relationship with economic, social and environmental sustainability. Particular attention is paid to analysis of the key areas for strengthening technological sovereignty, including the development of a research base, stimulation of innovation, personnel training and government support. Examples of Russia and other countries show successful practices and challenges related to achieving technological independence. It is shown that technological sovereignty is a necessary condition for sustainable development, allowing to reduce dependence on external factors and ensure the country’s long-term innovative development. In conclusion, the authors put forward recommendations for forming a comprehensive strategy for technological development based on strengthening scientific potential and creating a favourable environment for innovation.
