«I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.» Winston Churchill

Ideologies and concepts are the main driving forces behind the foreign policy of any state. However, if we focus only on the analysis of the strategic guidelines formation and the activities of the states in the international arena only to identify their ideological origins, it will mean a significant narrowing of the subject study. Moreove,r it remains an open question about the nature and the origin of ideologies. And therefore, organizing pattern interaction considering inward-looking policy and foreign policy, the researchers often put national interests, the processes and mechanisms of their formation and accomplishment into the centre of their analysis. This ideological concepts and beliefs have often been considered as the expression of certain interests. Those interests, called national, have always been given considerable prominence. The field of international relations dates from the time of the Greek historian Thucydides. International relations is the field studies relationships between political entities such as states and the wider world-systems produced by this interaction [1]. The category «national interest» is the сentre of the modern theory of international relations. Inherently such interpretation point the way to the systematic research of the foreign policy process. Government activities in the international field get logics if we see it as a more or less phasing and coorndinated chain of actions in multiple directions and in variuos geographical areas during the steps to actalize the national interests. However, this immediately poses the key question: What is the national interest? What is the subject matter of it? How does it correspond with the interests of the different social stratums, political groups, loobying organizations, dealing with one or another sector of economic activity? The researchers have repeatedly noted that each social group or stratum is proned to interpret their own interests as «national» or even «panhuman». In the scientific and opinion journalistic literature there are two main interpretations of the concept «national interest» representing the polar points of view but there are numerous concepts that combine to varying degrees the elements of both approaches [2]. «The modern world is going through fundamental and dynamic changes that profoundly affect the interests of the Russian Federation and its citizens» [3]. A new Russia, basing on a solid foundation of its national interests, has now acquired a full-fledged role in global affairs.
