Importance Currently, Afghanistan faces an upsurge of various terrorist groups, which join other ones after being defeated in Syria. Such threats should be counteracted. However, countries lack a common approach to resolving the Afghan crisis and finding possible solutions.

The article shows to what extend the humanitarian dimension of contemporary international rela-tions (IR) became influential. The authors make an attempt to warn against the underestimation of the humanitarian factor in the global arena. That underestimation may lead not only to a varie-ty of problems, which hinder the development of the bilateral and multilateral relations of IR-subjects, but also may create some difficulties in other levels of their interaction - political, eco-nomic and defensive ones, etc. The article presents authors' perception of the "soft power" and the place of humanitarian cooperation in the "soft power" concept, and also the paper analyzes the strong points and weaknesses of the humanitarian cooperation of Russia, China and some other countries - the SCO member-states. The paper considers the problems, which impede the promotion of the Russia's positive image in the Central Asian region countries. The authors pro-vide an analysis of the experience of the Russian universities' branches in the Central Asian re-gional countries, which demonstrate the growing need in expanding of the network of schools in the Central Asia with the Russian educational curriculum. The authors also examine the features of the Chinese modern "soft power" tactics in regard to the Central Asian countries of the SCO segment. The paper also provides a number of recommendations for the authorities, which bear responsibility for promoting of the Russia's humanitarian cooperation with the foreign countries in such areas as cultural dialogue, health care, scientific research and education, information and ecology as well as, cooperation in an area of the elimination and management of the natural and the man-made disasters. The authors provide the directions of the further interaction taking into account the capacities and interests, which concern not only Russia, but also its strategic partners - China and the states of the Central Asia. The main conclusions of the article are as follows: a) by its significance, the current humanitarian activities we may put on a par with the foreign policy and the economic efforts of a state, aimed at safeguarding of the state's interests abroad; b) by the implementation, the Russian-Chinese joint humanitarian initiatives became the new humani-tarian "breakthrough", which may enhance not only the "soft power" positions, but also the over-all potential of the SCO as well.

Importance The 21st century is seeing how countries are vying for their access to energy resources, which, if available, shape the economic destiny of the country in the foreseeable future. Oil and gas reserves are depleting, with shale gas production still being very expensive. In these circumstances, the Arctic and its substantial hydrocarbon reserves, convenient cross-continental sea and air routes attracts more and more attention of the developed States. It fuels a race for control over the region. Some developed States of the Northeast Asia joined this race to pursue their national interests in the Arctic.
     Objectives Whereas the Arctic becomes even more important for the national interests of Russia, Russia approved The Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic for the period up to 2020 and onwards, in 2008. The article shows changes in the global geopolitical situation in 2014-2015, which influenced the Russian buildup plans in the Arctic.
     Methods Based on an analysis and synthesis of the leading global States' policies and strategies, the article investigates the challenges to the regional stability in the Arctic that affect Russia's interests. We apply a content analysis of regulatory literature and original studies.
     Results We point out key aspects of the Northeast Asia's activities in the region. Considering the situation in Ukraine, the Western countries imposed sanctions against Russia to isolate it globally. In this respect, the Russian and Northeast Asian cooperation becomes especially important for exploration of the Arctic. It especially refers to the Northeast Asian investment, transfer of information and telecommunications technologies and supplies of equipment used to develop deep water and arctic oil and natural gas reserves. China may become a crucial strategic partner of Russia in exploring and developing the Arctic region.
     Conclusions and Relevance The research proposes aspects for further cooperation of Russia and the States to explore the economic potential of the Arctic. It also outlines possible steps of the Russian Government to counteract the Western sanctions. We point out that, considering the growing military efforts of the Western countries in the Arctic region, it is reasonable to continue deploying adequate forces and facilities and developing the infrastructure to protect the national interests of Russia in the region.

Importance In 2015, the global community holds massive celebrations of the 70th anniversary after the anti-German coalition won the Nazi Germany and militarist Japan. However, advocates of the unipolar world have their own interests to diminish the role of Russia in international affairs as part of a new interpretation of the results of the World War II, thus transforming Russia's image from the Winner State into the aggressor. The results of World War II are falsified actively and continuously as part of the information campaign against Russia.
     Objectives The article pursues demonstrating that World War II has not yet become a page in the dim and distant past for many nations, and its outcome still influences the contemporary geopolitical processes. That is the reason for uncovering those who falsify the history and cast doubts on lessons and results of World War II.
     Methods I investigate the contemporary formats and methods used to distort the results of World War II. The article presents an in-depth analysis of those who may benefit from such falsification. I apply broad factual materials and compare original researches, perform the content analysis of monographs and articles by the leading historians. The research uses a horizontal comparative analysis.
     Results Relying upon historical facts of the World War II history, I display the real contribution the Red Army and the anti-German coalition allies made to batter the Nazi Germany and Japanese militarism.
     Conclusions and Relevance I conclude that the current information campaign distorts historical facts of World War II as its main ideas and purpose. The research unveils the main purpose of historical falsifiers, i.e. to distort the truth so to keep the unipolar world, gradually destroy the fundamentals of the multipolar world. I disclose concepts of the falsifiers, which regard the communism idea of the total social equality with the idea of racial supremacy followed by the National Socialism supporters on equal terms. As a conclusion, I call the Russian experts and foreign analysts for protecting the true history of World War II from falsifications. The truth should be convincingly told to today's generations of people living all over the world. Doing this complicated and painstaking work, we contribute to the future of the entire humankind.
