The dialogue between Russia and the European Union is a relationship between two major geopolitical actors, which has never been unambiguous and simple in history, although it is due to the proximity of the geographical location and mutual interest in long-term cooperation. The EU's cultural policy is quite pragmatic, in comparison with the significance of the factors of the economic space and the presence of the Euro zone, culture is not considered by Europeans as a binding factor in the development of the two countries. In order to enter the common European economic market, States are forced to apply for participation in cultural programs and grants funded by the EU.
The article emphasizes the idea that any attempts to block the development of national cultures will inevitably lead to conflicts. Only through culture is it possible to achieve true self-expression of each nation and dialogue among civilizations. The concept of «strategic culture» is considered as a tool of analysis and a way of knowledge, and identity and national character as a predisposition to a certain type of policy. As part of the study of strategic culture, the analysis of national ideology is of great practical interest.

At the governmental level, Russia and the European Union follow the course of a long-term strategic partnership, primarily in the fields of culture, education, science, and the humanitarian sphere. Large-scale challenges and the ongoing systemic transformation of the European Union add politicization and uncertainty to Russian-European relations. At the same time, cultural, scientific and humanitarian ties are seen as promising, and the Russian-European dialogue in the field of culture will promote and stimulate the expansion of Russia's cooperation with both EU member States and the EEU member States.

The article examines the cultural policy and cultural diplomacy of the European Union. It is proved that full-fledged cooperation between Russia and the European Union is possible only within the framework of a common humanitarian space – a value-ideological communication environment determined by equal and mutual respect of the participants and the nature of the relationship between the ideologies of independent international actors, excluding unilateral ideological expansion of any of the parties.

The scientific article comprehensively investigates the phenomenon of the diaspora from the standpoint of ethnic characteristics and concretization of the semantic boundaries of the term under study. The categorical and conceptual apparatus is analyzed from the angle of transboundary and transcultural meanings of the activities of the diasporas themselves, the national identity of their members, as well as the political and socio-economic implementation of joint activities. The author points to a rather arbitrary reference to the term "diaspora" in modern literature in the context of its role in various processes and phenomena, which only emphasizes the phenomenality of the problems raised, when researchers or entire scientific schools "put" their special meaning into the concept of "diaspora", trying to emphasize attention to the more significant from the author's point of view of one or another essential characteristic of the term.
The socio-economic potential, modern attitudes and practices in the life of diasporas are analyzed. The reasons are formulated why diasporas as subjects of economic processes can play a disproportionately large role in the economy relative to their size. The characteristics of the factors influencing the socio-economic potential of the diasporas are given. It is emphasized that the growth of the absolute and relative share of diasporas leads, respectively, to an increase in their absolute and relative contribution to the economy.
The tendency is pointed out in which the economic potential of the diaspora can become commensurate with or even exceed the economic potential of states and ethnic groups in the main territory, as well as states and ethnic groups that form the socio-cultural environment of the region. In this connection, it is concluded that the diaspora is becoming one of the most important subjects of the socio-economic processes of our time, the role and importance of which cannot be overestimated.
