Возвращение России на Ближний Восток способствовало формированию новых союзных структур и коалиций. В отличие от американской «философии союзничества», в основании которой лежали императивы наращивания комплексного военно-политического присутствия и недопущение советской, а затем иранской, экспансии, российская модель ориентирована на тех игроков, взаимодействие с которыми способно решить текущий или потенциальный кризис в конкретный временной период. Вкупе с последовательной и прагматичной внешнеполитической линией, именно нетривиальные стратегии выстраивания гибких «альянсов» с местными игроками позволили Москве закрепить за собой статус одного из ведущих игроков в турбулентном регионе и заявить себя в качестве ответственной глобальной державы. Вместе с тем, сравнительный анализ российской кампании в Сирии и отношений с основными государствами региона позволяет говорить о наличии в политике России на Ближнем Востоке элементов как минимум трех стратегий построения союзов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Contemporary history of the Middle East has seen at least four periods of active inter-state alliance formation – three of which led by the United States. The return of Russia to the Middle East has helped shape new alliances and coalitions. Unlike the American “philosophy” of alliance formation underpinned by the imperative for a comprehensive politicomilitary presence as well as prevention of, first, Soviet and then, Iranian regional expansion, the Russian model is oriented toward the players, cooperation with which could solve a current or a potential crisis at a specific time period. Coupled with consistent and pragmatic foreign policy course, it was nontrivial strategies for flexible alliance-formation that enabled Moscow to establish itself as one of the leading player in the turbulent region as well as a responsible global power. At the same time, the comparative analysis of the Russian campaign in Syria and Moscow’s relations with key states in the region shows that Russia has been exercising elements of at least three alliance-formation strategies.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>безопасность</kwd><kwd>союзы</kwd><kwd>стратегия</kwd><kwd>Сирия</kwd><kwd>Турция</kwd><kwd>Иран</kwd><kwd>США</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>Middle East</kwd><kwd>security</kwd><kwd>alliances</kwd><kwd>strategies</kwd><kwd>Syria</kwd><kwd>Turkey</kwd><kwd>Iran</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при поддержке гранта РНФ «Типология современных военно-политических союзов и модели отношений России с союзниками»», проект №17-78-20170)</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article was supported by the Russian Science Foundation grant “Typology of Modern MilitaryPolitical Alliances and Models of Russia's Relations with Its Allies”, project No. 17-78-20170</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Васильев А.М.
