Abstract

The article explores the specifics of Russian discourse of globalization. The key features of the discourse of the Russian idea in the Russian intellectual space, features of the relations of the Russian and Western intellectual discourse are considered. The characteristics of the Russian discourse of globalization from within and globalization from the outside are given and identified on the basis of an analysis of Russia’s economic and political opportunities in its domestic and foreign policy. It was concluded that Russia in the modern world, where it is one of the key players in big politics and the world economy, thinks and acts globally. It is a globalized country in the fight against the dark side of globalization, but is at a certain distance from managing global security in the military sphere due to the actual lack of cooperation with NATO and Washington. It is argued that Russia offers an alternative globalization project to the West, with emphasis on the national sovereignty of countries and integration based on consent. Various analytical surveys, reports, and official documents compiled by Russian official agencies and think-tanks in 2012–2019 support the author’s arguments.
