| Summary/Abstract |
The article analyzes the new Foreign Policy Concept (FPC) of the Russian
Federation. The provisions of the new FPC are compared both with the
previous versions of this document (adopted in 2013 and 2016) and
with the effective National Security Strategy. Structural, normative, and
strategic novelties are discussed. They are intended not only to determine
Russia’s foreign policy priorities in the changing world order, but also to
substantiate, ideologically and geopolitically, its commitment to these
priorities. It is noted that a clear statement of national interests, and
foreign policy goals and objectives provide a clearer and more logical
framework for Russia’s further actions in the international arena. However,
given the current international turbulence, this document all by itself will
not be enough to reflect all of the country’s needs and intentions in a
rapidly changing world.
