The interpretation of the “Russian World” presented in the work as a multidimensional system of modern Russian foreign policy is a relevant direction in the theory of international relations, as it reflects the author's vision of the structural and functional composition of this political phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to conduct a methodological study of the political space of the “Russian World” through the prism of humanitarian and philosophical analysis. The approach used to analyze the “Russian World” made it possible to identify the current positions of Russia as the core of this political space in the modern world, which consist in economic, cultural, and philosophical connotations. The author's identification of the measurement levels of the political space of the “Russian World” reflects the determination of all directions of Russia's development. The paper concludes that in the realities of the fundamental transformation of the entire system of international relations, in the context of the hybrid war unleashed by Western countries against Russia, the primary task for strengthening Russia's foreign policy position is, in addition to using various institutions of the “first channel” of diplomacy, strengthening the use of institutions of the “second channel” of diplomacy. One of the results of the research was the structuring of the components of the “Russian World”, which made it possible to identify promising areas for the development of this political space in the process of building a new multipolar multilevel world order and Russia's place in it.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is devoted to the analysis of the essential composition of the political space of the “Russian World”.
