Issues of reinforcing the traditional values in Russia in the context of aggravation of the international situation

Abstract

The events of 2022 made the whole world a witness to a serious aggravation of the international situation. It has triggered a clear division between collective West and the non-aligned States. In comparison with the Cold War era, this fact implies a deeper value and ideological gap between the conditional West and non-Western countries. Due to the artifi cially West-instigated crisis, developing countries are facing a basic food and energy resources shortfall, as well as unprecedented pressure from Washington and its satellites. Being in conditions of the Special Military Operation, The Russian Federation is disproportionately aff ected by the consequences of the Western practices of double standards and proxy intervention in the aff airs of sovereign state. The situation is further complicated by two factors — the West`s desire to «cancel» Russia in the foreign-policy and civilizational dimensions and the attempt to bring elements of non-traditional subculture into our society. It runs counter to accepted norms of human community among the multi-ethnic and multi-religious Russian people. The article deals with the specifics of socio-cultural challenges that our country is actually facing through the prism domestic and foreign policy.
