Abstract

For almost 30 years since the end of the civil war in Lebanon, signing of the Taif agreements in 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 with the emergence of new Russia, the bilateral Russian-Lebanese relations remained partnership and friendly. They have reflected the trend of strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation. Nevertheless, Russian-Lebanese relations at the present stage (21st century) have remained partially unexplored. The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of Russian-Lebanese relations in the political, diplomatic, economic and cultural spheres; the focus is made on the 2000s. The research contains a quantitative analysis of Russian-Lebanese official contacts (2006-2020), as well as a review of the commodity structure of the countries turnover.

Summary

Introduction

Президент Ливана Мишель Слейман совершил первый в истории двусторонних отношений визит в Москву, где встретился с Президентом России Д.А. Показательным стал визит в Ливан специального представителя президента России по Ближнему Востоку, заместителя министра иностранных дел М.Л. Ливан сохраняет важность для России в геополитическом плане еще и потому, что здесь пересекаются интересы ведущих внерегиональных игроков. После начала военно-политического конфликта в Сирии на территории Ливана, по различным данным, нашли приют около 1,5 млн сирийских беженцев.
