Problems and prospects of the humanitarian cooperation of the Post-Soviet states

ISSN 2618-7426

In the study, humanitarian cooperation of the Post-Soviet states is analyzed. Both Russia and Post-Soviet countries have a unique approach towards humanitarian cooperation: it is seen as being broader than international development cooperation and international aid or even broader than public diplomacy. Meanwhile it is necessary to empathize that humanitarian cooperation has nothing in common with the Western doctrines of humanitarian interventionism and the responsibility-to-protect (R2P) used as the pretext for the regime changes, seen by Russia and its allies as one of the practices undermining stable world order. The main goal of research is revealing its strong and weak points. In the paper, the author searches for a framework to analyze humanitarian cooperation and verifies the hypotheses therein, while presenting the pilot research's results. It suggests that in the Post-Soviet countries humanitarian cooperation is seen broader than international development cooperation or international aid: it can mainly be cooperation in the sphere of education, science, arts, sports, tourism and mass media aimed at engaging civil society and expert community. The research also gives some kind of evaluation of Russian humanitarian cooperation efforts in the region, and the expectations expert community have had for it. Several problems are highlighted. First, we are witnessing insufficient strategic advising and capacity building in crucial areas. Russia focuses on the general public or politicians, demonstrating not enough attention for the young elites. Secondly, some Russian initiatives in the region are very disputable: Russia is seen to be fond of establishing monuments rather than going to the universities of its partner states. Thirdly, we are often witnessing an “inside-out” not “outside-in” approach: the actions in this sphere are taken according to the way Russians think foreign “movers and shakers” see them, not the way they really perceive it.
