The Growing Role of the Mutual Understanding

Abstract

This article is devoted to the problem of mutual understanding, without which the harmonization of international relations is impossible. The problem of mutual understanding in international relations is considered on the example of Anglo-Russian and Anglo-Soviet relations in recent centuries. The friendly and hostile nature of relations between countries and peoples can be traced both in the official position of government departments and in the unofficial indoctrination of political elites, the press and scientific publications. Despite the long tradition of bilateral hostility, there are also reverse trends, indicating an increase in the level of mutual understanding between the two countries.
