Abstract
The course "History of International Relations" based on a systemic approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the history of Russia's foreign policy in the modern and contemporary periods. The main focus is on understanding the logic and patterns of the processes of development of Russia's foreign policy in the context of the evolution of the global system of international relations.
