Actual Facts show that Twitter has become an innovative tool of public diplomacy and has changed the perception of how the diplomacy works. Now, citizens and politicians in many countries have the opportunity to know instantly about international political events and also communicate with others ones to share opinions about these events. But apart from that, Twitter can be evaluated in quantitative terms. The opinion of active Twitter users worldwide can be measured to create surveys related to the popular support for world leaders. It is an alternative to develop statistics for understanding the citizens’ political preferences that even have already been used by certain private organizations to design rankings of international governance. At the same time, world leaders, politicians and diplomats realized the benefits of several services of Twitter to have close relationships with their voters. But the political and strategic value of Twitter is ambiguous. It seems that Twitter brings more benefits to some states than others. The level of technological development in some countries determines the degree of influence of this social network on the public opinion. Undoubtedly, thanks to Twitter, the relationship between social networks and diplomacy has become a modern phenomenon, which shows that social networks can play an important role in keep peace between nations.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Статья посвящена рассмотрению феномена Твитпломатии и ее влияния на внешнюю политику стран мира в последние годы. События показывают, что Твиттер стал инновационным инструментом публичной дипломатии и изменил форму восприятия дипломатических процессов. У граждан и политических деятелей многих стран появилась возможность мгновенно узнавать о международных политических актах и общаться с другими гражданами, комментируя эти события. Твиттер позволяет также оценивать в количественных показателях мнение пользователей, а также степень народной поддержки мировых лидеров. Это означает исследовательскую альтернативу для разработки статистических данных о политических предпочтениях граждан, используемую некоторыми частными организациями для установления рейтингов популярности международного руководства. В то же время мировые лидеры и дипломаты осознали выгоду некоторых услуг, предлагаемых Твиттером для поддержания наиболее благоприятных отношений с избирателями. Но политическая и стратегическая ценность Твиттера раскрылась неоднозначно. Похоже, что он приносит больше выгоды одним государствам, чем другим, так как степень технологического развития в некоторых странах определяет степень влияния, которое имеет эта социальная сеть на формирование общественного мнения как в масштабах страны, так и на международном уровне. Несомненно, благодаря Твиттеру отношения между социальными сетями и дипломатией превратились в стремительно развивающееся современное явление, демонстрирующее, что социальные сети способны играть важную роль в обеспечении мира между народами.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Diplomacy</kwd><kwd>Social Networks</kwd><kwd>Twitter</kwd><kwd>eDiplomacy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дипломатия</kwd><kwd>социальные сети</kwd><kwd>цифровая дипломатия</kwd><kwd>Твиттер</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Wasserman S., Faust K.
