| Summary: | In the context of geopolitical tensions at the eastern border of the
European Union, cultural diplomacy is becoming a symbolic battleground for regional
influence, with significant implications for security and stability in the region. The use
of this soft power, which complements traditional foreign policy strategies, is aimed at
strengthening relations with partner countries, countering negative narratives or
attracting/maintaining sympathy with states where the state in question has political,
economic, etc. interests.
The context of the current world order, also generated by recent RussianUkrainian relations, is giving rise to numerous debates within international society and
academia. Among these, an important aspect is cultural diplomacy's role in the current
military conflict context on the EU's eastern border. We are considering the unique way,
distinct from the approaches of Western states, of promoting Russia's national interests
through cultural diplomacy.
The Kremlin has built a complex apparatus for realizing and disseminating
information intended to be brought to the attention of public opinion and authorities in
the international arena. These actions integrate actors from different levels and carry
out complex influencing activities.
