Annotation In the modern system of international relations, the leaders of the United States and NATO countries are increasingly inclined to the possibility of using “hard power” in political and economic relations with non-NATO countries. In addition, in relations between the countries of the United States and the European Union, the United States and Canada some elements of the trade war provoked by the US President Donald Trump are increasingly visible in recent months. It was revealed that during the “Cold War” period, under the conditions of the opposition of the NATO countries – the USSR and the Warsaw Pact Organization countries, certain rules existed in the system of international relations. In recent years, the final destruction of established immutable rules and borders in international politics and diplomacy that existed in previous decades and determined the structure of the world order has taken place. It is proved that the formation of a positive image of Russia in the world under the conditions of the international situation instability has become one of the main foreign policy priorities of our state. It has been established that the policy of “soft power” is an important component of modern international politics, and the component of Russian “soft power” is public diplomacy in all its manifestations. Humanitarian diplomacy is based solely on the application of “soft power” factors; it addresses spiritual and moral values, adheres to the norms of international law, and promotes participation of the parties in the peaceful resolution of political and social crises. It was concluded that in the current system of modern international relations, Russia should more actively use the policy of “soft power” as an instrument of political communication and humanitarian diplomacy. The article proves the necessity of applying humanitarian diplomacy by the Russian Orthodox Church and Islamic charitable organizations as a factor of “soft power” in promoting the spiritual and moral values of the Russian civilization and building interethnic relations
