HARMONIOUS PURPOSEFUL INTERETHNIC AND INTERFAITH POLICY AS RUSSIA’S "SOFT POWER" TOOL IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA
At the turn of the Millennium the world history develops in three dimensions - globalization, regionalization and personalization. Globalization is a dominant, driving the international community to the comprehensive integrity. Regionalization dictates enhancement of the role and status of individual regions sometimes to the level of status of those state entities, the subjects of which they are. The personalization of international relations is reflected however in the protection of the rights and freedoms of every individual as a peremptory norm (jus cogens) of contemporary international law. The simultaneous effect of these three trends is accompanied by the inevitable clash of national, confessional, class, corporate and personal interests. Transnational corporations support the acceleration of globalization, the nation-states defend their territorial integrity, regions fight for self-determination and autonomy, and individuals assert their rights and freedoms. Under these conditions, the harmonization of processes of interethnic and interfaith interactions within individual states is particularly important to enhance the attractively of these respective states, to strengthen their "soft power" in the international arena. Russia is a huge multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state. That’s why its interethnic and interfaith policy’s example is especially important in the increasing clash of civilizations of the modern world.
Key words: globalization, regionalism, human rights, civilization split, federative policy, interfaith politics, “soft power”, the UN, Russia.

POLITICAL MEDIATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF ETHNO-CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY
Today, humanity is objectively involved in the processes of radical global transformations of a contradictory and hardly predictable nature. On the one hand, the integration of peoples in a single political, economic and socio-cultural space expands and enriches the possibilities of a comprehensive ethno-cultural interaction. On the other hand, the emerging "global culture" is perceived by traditional ideologies as a tool of suppression of ethnic identity and a real threat to state sovereignty that provokes the mobilization and politicization of ethnicity in sub-regional (ethnic conflicts) and global scales (international terrorism). Theoretical understanding of the dynamics and prospects of development of modern inter-nation and inter-ethnic processes is impossible without the regard for their conflict potential and also without the development of technologies of their settlement – political mediation. The article discusses the role of new political institutions and political mediation in the conditions of ethnic, cultural and religious diversity.

CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL BASIS AND THE PROCEDURE OF CRIMEA’S ENTRANCE INTO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Entrance of the Crimean Peninsula and Sevastopol, the city of federal significance, in the constitutional and legal framework of the Russian Federation caused a flurry of conflicting opinions and accusations on the part of foreign political leaders, social activists, leaders of the new government in Ukraine and other actors of international relations.
