Автор анализирует данные отношения с точки зрения долгосрочных тенденций, выявляет причины растущей напряжённости между Россией и Западом. Расширение НАТО автор считает просчётом западных стран, который внес значительный вклад в существующую напряжённость. Признание данного факта означает, что нынешняя стратегия Запада в отношении России нуждается в доработке. Автор считает, что отношения между Россией и Западом должны анализироваться с точки зрения глобальной политической динамики, а не региональной, прежде всего европейской (и связанной с НАТО). Другими словами, огромные перемены происходят на Ближнем Востоке, и это имеет значение для учёных и политиков. Первым крупным сдвигом в глобальном политическом ландшафте можно считать недавнее сближение Сирии и России, которое изменило не только ход гражданской войны в Сирии, но и глобальную борьбу с терроризмом. Второй крупный сдвиг произошёл в Саудовской Аравии, где к власти пришло более умеренное руководство. Автор предлагает дипломатический формат «5+1» для улучшения отношений между Россией и Западом, в который могут войти США, крупные европейские государства и Россия. Однако главная проблема заключается не в формате переговоров, а в их содержании. По мнению автора, Россия могла бы стать посредником между суннитами и шиитами на Ближнем Востоке. Цель переговоров – восстановление государственного управления в Сирии при одновременном сдерживании Ирана в регионе. В свою очередь, Запад может быть более гибким в конфликтах на постсоветском пространстве.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article discusses the current state of relations between Russian and the West. The author presents long-term assessment of rising tensions between Russia and the West. The article identifies the NATO expansion as one of the most important factors that contributed to the current deterioration. The author argues that the NATO expansion was a political miscalculation of the Western countries. The author believes that the relations between Russia and the West can be improved through foreign policy linkage of two regions: Middle East and Eastern Europe. It is the place for significant political transformations (especially in the Middle East) and both sides are politically involved there. The first major recent shift in the global political landscape there is Russian-Syrian alliance that has changed the development of the civil war in the country as well as global counterterrorist efforts. The second major shift occurs in the Saudi Arabia where a more moderate leadership has come to power. The author proposes the diplomatic framework for improving relations 5+1 format that includes the USA, major European states and Russia. However, the main issue is not the format of negotiations, but its essence. Russia could use its current potential as a mediating power to fully restore the Syrian state and calm down the tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran. In return, the West can be more flexible in conflicts in the postSoviet space.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дипломатия</kwd><kwd>Запад</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>посредничество</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>diplomacy</kwd><kwd>the West</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>the Middle East</kwd><kwd>mediation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Allison R.
