Multipolar World: Russia and Iran as an Example of Complementary Regimes
In the contemporary political landscape, as in historical practice, different types of political relations can be distinguished. Politicians can take different positions, ranging from enemies to opponents, as well as neutral forces or allies. However, there are states and ideological regimes that have a clear complementarity to each other.
An example of such complementarity is the relationship between Russia and Iran. There are no contradictions of any kind between the two countries. In both Russia and Iran there are traditional values as well as a common rejection of Western hegemony and globalization. These aspects are at the core of the policies, worldviews and sovereignty of both nations.
China is certainly an important partner for Russia, but its involvement in globalization poses certain challenges for the further development of relations with Russia. The Chinese economy is deeply integrated into the Western market, which makes it difficult to talk about closeness with this country in the same way as with Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran is in a completely different situation: it is much closer to Russia in terms of geopolitical, political, ideological and worldview aspects.
