Public diplomacy and the policy of "soft power" are alternative tools to military force to infl uence and attract foreign audiences, as well as a way to strengthen the image of a state in the international arena, increase investment, tourism, economic and political cooperation. The article examines the forms and features of educational, cultural and scientifi c cooperation between Russia and the BRICS countries. The importance of the association in Russian foreign policy is noted, especially in the context of a changing world order and international instability. Nevertheless, its potential and resources are not being used properly, therefore, it is necessary to popularize the activities and projects implemented within the framework of the BRICS, as well as their institutional and organizational design.

The relevance of the topic is conditioned by modern geopolitical realities, the need to protect the Russian-speaking population on the territory of Ukraine, as well as to stop the glorification of Nazism. Also, the relevance is caused by the growing imperialist ambitions of the United States and NATO, the high role of the so-called "hot spots" on the world map — having a long history of regional confl icts that continue with positive dynamics, or are undergoing a process of deconservation by the forces of the Collective West in order to destabilize the geopolitical situation in the world, in particular at the borders of countries, which were declared strategic opponents of the United States of America. In the modern world, which is characterized by a global confrontation between the so-called "Russian world" and the so-called "collective West", it is more important than ever to understand the events taking place on the world stage, to delve into the essence of complex political, social, economic and other mechanisms of influence. The paper will consider such moments as: the spread of disinformation by the collective West led by Washington, the informational confrontation between the Russian Federation and the Collective West, the specifi cs of providing reliable information on the SMO and the formation of the external appearance of the Russian Federation. The role of the doctrine of controlled chaos is also of interest.

This article examines the challenges and threats faced by Moldovan diplomacy in the modern world in the context of new global changes. The author assesses and analyses the main trends in the foreign and domestic policy of the Republic of Moldova. Considerable attention is paid to the historical premise of following a neutral foreign policy course of the state. The article carried out the analysis of the fundamental doctrinal documents, resulted in a number of conclusions, which allow to make a forecast regarding the future of neutrality of Moldova and the possibility of its transformation. Today, the permanent neutrality significantly affects the foreign and security policy, becoming a factor of social and national disintegration of Moldova, as the debate about its necessity does not stop and the political elites haven’t reached a general consensus on this issue. Despite this, the policy of neutrality remains as a basic principle in foreign and security policy. Geographically, Moldova is located at the intersection of two political structures: post-soviet and european. Based on these realities, the permanent neutrality of the Republic of Moldova is considered as the best way for Moldova to maintain stability and territorial integrity. Also. the relevance of the article results from the confl ict in neighboring, demonstrating the fragility and vulnerability of neutral states in the face of modern geopolitical problems. The neutrality of the Republic of Moldova prohibits: participation in armed confl icts, deployment of any foreign armed forces on its territory and participation in any political or economic union with the aim of starting wars. The specifi city of the status of permanent neutrality of the Republic of Moldova lies in the principle of pursuing a policy of neutrality in times of peace in order to remain neutral during a possible geopolitical conflict. Accordingly, strategic adaptation to the international security environment will remain the concern of political elites of Moldova. There is an opinion among scientists and politicians that neutrality in the classical sense is no longer relevant and requires conceptual adaptation. Thus, it becomes actual and necessary to conduct a scientific study aimed at studying the manifestation of the status of permanent neutrality of Moldova under the influence of the international security system.

The article analyzes diplomatic, trade and economic relations, as well as military-technical cooperation between Russia and Angola, Russia and Mozambique caused by the growing role of African countries in world politics and economy. These African states traditionally hold a special place in the Russian, and previously Soviet, foreign policy. In the 21st century Africa is one of the most dynamically developing and promising regions in the world, which is reflected in the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation. This is evidenced by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s recent activity. In the first months of 2023, he has already toured Africa twice: from January 23 to 27 and from February 6 to 9. Russian-Angolan and Mozambican bilateral relations have been always seen as “reliable and timetested”. It was 1975 when the USSR established diplomatic relations with Angola and Mozambique after they gained independence from Portugal. During the Soviet Union ties between our countries were actively developing. After the collapse of the USSR bilateral cooperation signifi cantly decreased, while military-political collaboration continued, including the settlement of the armed conflict in Angola. At the present stage, our relations are developing in many directions. These are, in addition to military assistance, Russia’s participation in the development of Angolan diamond deposits, cooperation in the field of education, merchant shipping, as well as exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes. A new impetus to the development of relations is given by high-level visits “on the sidelines” of BRICS and the Russia-Africa Summits.

The article is about the consideration of the mechanisms for the formation of an objective Russian agenda in the People's Republic of China against the backdrop of a growing trend towards the transmission of a distorted image of Russia by the United States and its allies. China is the most important ally for Russia at the present stage, and, like Russia, it sees a similar structure of the world order and takes an independent and independent position on international issues. Non-alignment with Western sanctions against Russia, as well as active support, which is expressed in increasing strategic cooperation, joint projects, the creation of new agreements that strengthen and develop existing ties in many areas, speak of an unprecedented level of support for China. It is interesting to take a more detailed look at the political interaction between the two countries, namely, the fi eld of public diplomacy and the mechanisms and methods that are used by the parties to promote the image of a partner country in their own country. As noted by A. A. Velikaya, describing the principles on which Russian public diplomacy should be based, notes that special attention should be paid to those countries that already have a positive attitude towards Russia, and efforts to win the critical masses may be ineffective. Taking into account the mutual recognition by Russia and China of the wording "comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction in a new era" to describe bilateral relations, it speaks of the readiness and need for mutual promotion of a favorable image of countries to strengthen dialogue between peoples. Of interest are the advanced methods applied by the two countries to achieve this goal.
在美国及其盟国歪曲俄罗斯形象的趋势日益加剧的背景下，本文探讨了在中华人民共和国形成客观的俄罗斯议程的机制。中国是俄罗斯现阶段最重要的盟友，与俄罗斯一样，中国也看到了世界秩序的相似结构，并在国际问题上采取独立自主的立场。与西方对俄制裁的不结盟以及积极支持，表现在不断加强的战略合作、联合项目、签订新协议以加强和发展许多领域的现有联系，这些都说明中国得到了前所未有的支持。对两国之间的政治互动，即公共外交的长远发展，以及双方为在本国宣传伙伴国形象而采用的机制和方法进行更详细的考察是很有意义的。维利卡娅（A. A. Velikaya）在阐述俄罗斯公共外交应遵循的原则时指出，应特别关注那些已经对俄罗斯持积极态度的国家，争取批评群众的努力可能不会奏效。考虑到俄罗斯和中国共同认可 "新时代全面伙伴关系和战略互动 "这一描述双边关系的措辞，该报告谈到了相互促进国家良好形象以加强各国人民之间对话的意愿和必要性。值得关注的是两国为实现这一目标所采用的先进方法。

The article is devoted to the bright memory of the outstanding Russian (Soviet) military diplomat, Lieutenant General Count A. A. Ignatiev, who is now rightfully considered the founder of Suvorov, Nakhimov and cadet education in modern Russia. It was he who, in his letter to the People's Commissar of Defense, Supreme Commander-in-Chief I. V. Stalin, dated April 17, 1943, took the initiative to create a network of secondary military schools in our country on the type of cadet corps. The head of the Soviet state reacted positively to this initiative, and on August 21 of the same year, the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars No. 901 "On urgent measures to restore housing in areas liberated from German occupation" was issued, which provided "… for the establishment, education and upbringing of children of the Red Army soldiers, partisans of the Patriotic War, as well as children of Soviet and party workers, workers and collective farmers who died at the hands of the German occupiers, to organize in the Krasnodar, Stavropol Territories, Rostov, Stalingrad, Voroshilovgrad, Voronezh, Kharkov, Kursk, Orel, Smolensk and Kalinin regions: nine Suvorov military schools, like the old cadet corps, 500 people in each, a total of 4,500 people with a training period of 7 years, with a closed pansy-on for pupils".

This article analyzes how Russia is represented in the Chinese mass-media. The modern media space often forms images, influences the understanding of events and figures, and Russia, with which partnerships are developed on the basis of mutual respect and good neighborliness, is no exception. China and Russia, in turn, support each other, cooperate in various fi elds, even in information, and show neutrality in various interstate disputes. An examination of how Russian themes are presented in the Chinese press highlights several key elements: reports of cooperation with China, confl icts between the West (mainly the EU and the US) and Russia, Russian military power, the image of Vladimir Putin and his political contribution, cultural height Russia, as well as a special military operation in Ukraine. The expert conducted a comprehensive analysis of messages in the Chinese media and concluded that in most cases the mood in the media is friendly towards Russia. Russia acts as a powerful strategic, military and economic ally, its people appear as indomitable and retain their cultural shortcomings. It is also often emphasized that both Russia and China are jointly fighting on the part of the US and NATO.

The article is devoted to the features and problems of the Russian cultural and humanitarian policy, which form the basis of the Russian "soft power", identified in the process of studying the work of Russian diplomacy in the Republic of Iraq after the 2003 crisis. The Iraqi example was not chosen by chance: in fact, since the overthrow of the government of Saddam Hussein, the Russian Federation had to rebuild its relations with Iraq, during this process, signifi cant shortcomings, features and strengths of the Russian approach to the use of so-called “soft power” were clearly revealed. Today, this topic is especially relevant in connection with the change in the foreign policy priorities of the Russian Federation, refl ected in the new Foreign Policy Concept. In addition, the information war of Western countries against Russia requires Russian diplomacy to form and maintain a positive image of the country abroad, which is impossible without the use of the very “soft power”. The fi rst part of the article examines the principles of Russian foreign policy: from the general ones, applied to all countries, to the special ones, peculiar exclusively to Russian-Iraqi relations. The importance of all these principles lies in their fundamental role in planning any actions of Russian diplomacy in relation to the host state, including in the application of cultural and humanitarian policy instruments — “soft power”. In the next part, the cultural, humanitarian and informational components of Russian foreign policy are considered separately: their strengths and weaknesses are identified, and some proposals are made for using foreign experience in this area.

The importance of all these principles lies in their fundamental role in planning any actions of Russian diplomacy in relation to the host state, including in the application of cultural and humanitarian policy instruments — “soft power”. In the next part, the cultural, humanitarian and informational components of Russian foreign policy are considered separately: their strengths and weaknesses are identified, and some proposals are made for using foreign experience in this area.","PeriodicalId":339528,"journal":{"name":"Diplomaticheskaja sluzhba (Diplomatic Service)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127618345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
