Russia’s foreign policy documents emphasize the importance of establishing a world order that is multipolar and based on the dialogue of civilizations, respect for national sovereignty and mutual security. These principles are only partially shared by other participants in international relations, among which the United States and China stand out in terms of their ideological and power potential. Due to the importance of these powers and the growing contradictions between them, the danger of the formation of a new bipolar system of international relations is increasing in the world. The experience of the Yalta-Potsdam system shows the tendency of the bipolar system to ideological and value confrontation and the use of force to resolve conflicts. The emergence of such a system of international relations was the result of fundamental differences in the understanding of the principles of a fair world order by the two sides with the existing parity of military and political capabilities of the parties. The basis of the fragile peace in the conditions of the bipolar system of international relations became the danger of mutual destruction of the parties with nuclear weapons. International rules and institutions, including the UN Charter, proved incapable of guaranteeing peace. Therefore, the main lesson of the Cold War should be considered the need to prevent the very emergence of bipolarity, which could bring the world on the brink of war and even total destruction. This article analyzes the threats of the formation of a new bipolarity in connection with the escalation of the conflict between the United States and China in international relations. Today, these countries have the most powerful material and force capabilities, as well as fundamentally different visions of a fair world. Since the Cold War, the United States has been guided by the universality of its democratic ideals, while China offers a concept of global “harmony” in accordance with the ideals of economic development and the recognition of civilizational differences. The election of Donald Trump as president implies a revision of democratic priorities in favor of confirming the military-economic dominance of the United States in the world. Russia could play a special role in the formation of a multipolar and multilateral order in Eurasia as a prototype of the future world order. The conditions for progress in this direction are associated with strengthening the military-political balance in the region, developing inter-civilizational dialogue, economic openness, and multilateral institutions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В борьбе за будущий мировой порядок сталкиваются различные концепции справедливого глобального устройства. Внешнеполитические документы России подчеркивают важность установления такого мироустройства, которое было бы многополярным и основанным на диалоге цивилизаций, уважении национального суверенитета и взаимной безопасности. Эти принципы лишь отчасти разделяются другими участниками международных отношений, среди которых по своему идейному и материально-силовому потенциалу выделяются США и Китай. В этой связи нарастание противоречий между этими державами усиливает опасность формирования новой биполярной системы международных отношений. Опыт Ялтинско-Потсдамской системы свидетельствует о склонности биполярной системы к идейно-ценностной конфронтации и силовому разрешению конфликтов. Возникновение такой системы международных отношений стало результатом принципиальных различий в понимании двумя сторонами принципов справедливого мироустройства при сложившемся паритете военно-политических возможностей сторон. Международные правила и институты, включая Устав ООН, оказались неспособны гарантировать мир. Поэтому главным уроком холодной войны следует считать необходимость предотвратить само возникновение биполярности, способной поставить мир на грань войны и даже всеобщего уничтожения. Исследование посвящено анализу угроз формирования новой биполярности в связи с нарастанием в международных отношениях конфликта между США и Китаем. Сегодня эти страны обладают наиболее мощными материально-силовыми возможностями, а также принципиально различными видениями справедливого мира. США со времени холодной войны исходят из универсальности своих идеалов демократии, в то время как Китай предлагает концепцию мировой «гармонии» в соответствии с идеалами экономического развития и признания цивилизационных различий. Избрание Д. Трампа президентом США предполагает пересмотр приоритетов демократии в пользу подтверждения американского военно-экономического доминирования в мире. На основе сравнительного и социально-интерпретационного метода делается вывод о вероятности нарастания конфликта между великими державами. России могла бы принадлежать особая роль в формировании многополярного и многостороннего порядка в Евразии как прототипа будущего мироустройства. Условия продвижения в этом направлении связаны с укреплением в регионе военно-политического баланса, развитием межцивилизационного диалога, экономической открытости и многосторонних институтов.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>bipolarity</kwd><kwd>cold war</kwd><kwd>multipolarity</kwd><kwd>world order</kwd><kwd>justice</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>China</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биполярность</kwd><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>многополярность</kwd><kwd>миропорядок</kwd><kwd>справедливость</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bordachev, T.
