The Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, approved on March 31, 2023, was the legal formalization and consolidation of a radical renewal of the foreign policy of our country. The basic provisions of the document are the reception of the socio-philosophical principles of classical Eurasianism: Russia is a sovereign Eurasian, Euro-Pacific state-civilization with a colossal integrative potential, a distinctive culture; it is a self-sufficient center of power with its own global and local goals; Russia has a historic mission of countering Western hegemony, maintaining the global balance of power and building a multipolar world. Priorities are being affirmed: cooperation of our country with non-Western civilizations — independent centers of power, preservation of traditional spiritual and moral values and cultural heritage, protection of the Russian world within the country and beyond its borders. Western and Russian cultures are alien to each other on metaphysical grounds. Western civilization, which discredits universal human values and human rights, has lost the moral foundations for world hegemony. Cooperation with the West is possible only on condition that it renounces its hostile attitude towards Russia. The concept of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation confirms the vitality and relevance of the Eurasian doctrine, the need to take into account the conservative socio-philosophical, legal thought of the past in determining the domestic and foreign policy.
