IN THE SECOND QUARTER of the 19th century, there was still no agreement among political and diplomatic circles on consular services and functions. Some of its members insisted that consulates should remain commercial organizations that looked after the interests of the citizens rather than the state. Their opponents preferred to see them as political and diplomatic units designed to serve the state interests and the private interests of citizens.

| Summary/Abstract |
This obviously also applies to Russia's current cultural diplomacy. Yevgeny Shmagin, Deputy Director of the Department on Cultural Affairs and Ties with UNESCO of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, underscores in his article "Culture and Diplomacy" published in International Affairs the importance of cultural diplomacy in implementing the state's foreign-policy strategy, maintaining, in particular, that "the union of diplomacy and culture has at all times served Russia's national interests, over and over again demonstrating its vitality at different stages in our history. It was cultural diplomacy with its specific set of instruments and methods to influence public opinion that was able to essentially dissolve the ice of hostile and sometimes openly biased attitudes with regard to our country during its Soviet period, mitigating the impact of various negative tendencies of political and ideological nature. During the formation of new Russian state, cultural initiatives once again helped strengthen the country's international prestige, its reputation, demonstrate the Russian society's openness, serve as an evidence of Russia's revival, and its development as a free and democratic state."

| Summary/Abstract |
THE FEBRUARY REVOLUTION of 1917 in Russia removed the regime of czarist autocracy from the stage; the Foreign Ministry, however, survived with minimal losses. The Provisional Government brought to power by the revolution was determined to follow the previous foreign policy course. The Foreign Ministry returned to the scene after four days of revolutionary turmoil even if the situation in the country looked more like a war than anything else which inevitably affected the ministry's functioning and the course it tried to follow. As could be expected, political power could not leave the ministry alone. Its interference in foreign policy had caused disagreements that gradually spread to the Provisional Government.

| Summary/Abstract |
RAPID technological development has accelerated globalization processes around the world, removing borders not only between countries but also between continents. The concept of soft power that America has been actively using in recent decades has exhausted its toolkit and requires new means of expression. This concept emphasizes not the military potential of a state but its cultural values, scientific achievements and diplomatic skill.

THE DISINTEGRATION of the Soviet Union has led to a new geopolitical zone appearing on the world map - the so-called post-Soviet space where Russia plays a dominant role even though post-Soviet countries have different development paths, political regimes and economies. Amid the escalating relations between Russia and the West, the pressing problem for Russia right now is to build relations with its immediate neighbors.

AMID the current international turbulence, there is a lot of talk about necessary changes to the foreign policy courses of certain countries.

The work of the organization, created in 1945. was not limited exclusively to questions of war and peace. Prominent among the organization's aims, as laid down in its charter, was its creators' desire to strengthen international cooperation, raise the role of diplomacy, and establish dialogue in the processes of international relations.1 It should be noted here that the area of debate open to the representatives of the UN member countries was formulated to solve a wide variety of problems of the most diverse nature.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE LARGE AMOUNT of foreign policy work done by the Russian leadership in recent years has proven insufficient to fill gaps in social and economic statistics. This work mainly focused on measures to attract foreign investors and to raise the investment attractiveness of Russia. Measures to intensify cross-border movement of capital and attract "smart money" to Russia have been seriously impeded by economic determinism and overlooked many aspects of international relations.
