Abstract

In 2015, the Russian Federation returned to world politics as a powerful sovereign power. The Russian military campaign launched in 2015 in Syria caught not only ISIS by surprise, but also the security services and Western analysts. This was the first large-scale military operation of post-Soviet Russia outside the territory of the former USSR. The article considers the legal basis of the Russian military operation in Syria and its compliance with the norms of international law. The legal aspects of the actions of our troops in Syria are disclosed in more detail. Russia's participation as a CSTO member state in military operations in Syria is determined by the need to combat international terrorism. The actions of the Russian Federation are carried out in accordance with the basic principles and norms of modern international law and, above all, the principle of State sovereignty. Russian military aid came to Syria at the request of the legitimate Government of the Syrian Arab Republic. According to the authors of the article, Russian military assistance to Syria, which fully complies with domestic and international law, at the same time seems to be extremely important, a new phenomenon in international politics, namely, a radical attempt to stop the process of destroying the UN and preserve progressive international law.
