РАЗВИТИЕ МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫХ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИХ КОММУНИКАЦИЙ В ЦЕЛЯХ УКРЕПЛЕНИЯ КОЛЛЕКТИВНОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ОДКБ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the use of the potential of international political communi-cations in the process of strengthening the collective security of the Collective Se-curity Treaty Organization at the beginning of the XXI century. It is proved that in the course of the growth of military-political expansionism in the near abroad of Russia, the use of political communication technologies in the form of "soft power" and "public diplomacy"is being revised. There is a transition to imperative forms of international political communication, which creates challenges and threats to Russian interests in the information and communication and humanitarian spheres. Russia needs to reorient its political communication system to actively educate the civil communities and governments of the CIS countries about the role of the CSTO as a guarantor of international stability in the post-Soviet space.
