Landscape of Friendliness of Country Communication Regimes on Post-Soviet Space: 2022 Monitoring Results

Abstract

The author presents the monitoring results of friendliness of communication regimes of neighboring countries. It is pointed out that communication regime concept has a significant gnoseological, predictive and interpretative potential for analysis of internal political processes and external policy strategy of the countries. Monitoring of amicable attitude of communication regimes considers research of practices, conditions, regulations imposed in a particular country in context of communication with Russia. Governmental and Non-governmental actors are assessed – as well as political and civil communications are observed. In 2022, intensification of polarity between friendly and unfriendly countries has been noted. Unfriendly counties have established a model of total prohibition of communication with Russia. Political pressure on religious and civil society institutions has increased. Friendly and partially friendly countries, meanwhile, have improved conditions for economic, educational and scientific communications.
