Summary / Abstract (Note)MATTERS RELATED TO LANGUAGE use go beyond the framework of philological disciplines and in some way or other impact various aspects of public life. Language and culture are recognized within the international community as principal "soft power" tools for promoting a country's positive image abroad. In addition to various aspects of language policy in Russia, the joint meeting of the Council on Interethnic Relations and the Council on the Russian Language, chaired by Russian President V.V. Putin, on May 19, 2015, stressed repeatedly the special role of the Russian language in expanding Russia's spiritual and intellectual influence abroad and in the preservation and development of the Russian World. In this context, it is equally important to counter the attempts of certain politicians who build their careers in their home countries on Russophobia, casting the Russian World as a "foreign policy project" of today's Russia, not as an objectively developed form of civilization that should be preserved.
