Methodology used refers to the theory of the school of foreign policy analysis, particularly latest generation, in framework of method of discursive analysis. The method of discursive analysis, exploring the main elements and concepts in ideology, analyzing and determining their place within a consolidated framework as one dominant discourse in a certain period of time, helps explain the formation of such concepts as ally, friend, colleague, competitor, and opponent. This article attempts to identify driving forces and obstacles to Iranian-Russian cooperation in the fields of defense and security in different periods of time. It is shown that the relations between Iran and Russia in the fields of defense and security have been undergoing important changes since 2014. Aggravation of the Syrian crisis has led to strengthening ties and also military and defense cooperation between Iran and Russia at the regional level. It is concluded that Iran and Russia consider spread of extremism in neighboring countries as main threat to their own national security and will develop cooperation in this area. According to the author, there are certain conditions for development of Iranian-Russian relations to the level of strategic allies, but to achieve this it is necessary to prevent the impact of destructive role of third players on the process of defense cooperation between Tehran and Moscow. Author suggests that existing obstacles to Russia’s military cooperation with Iran can be partially eliminated by lifting United Nations sanctions in 2020.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье анализируется российско-иранское сотрудничество в сферах обороны и безопасности. В качестве методологии используется теория школы анализа внешней политики, в частности последнее поколение этой теории в рамках метода дискурсивного анализа. Метод дискурсивного анализа, исследуя основные элементы и понятия в идеологии, анализ и определение их места внутри консолидированных рамок в качестве одного доминирующего дискурса в определенный период времени, помогает объяснить формирование таких понятий, как союзник, друг, коллега, конкурент и противник. В данной статье сделана попытка определить движущие силы и препятствия на пути ирано-российского сотрудничества в сферах обороны и безопасности в разные периоды времени. Показано, что отношения между Ираном и Россией в сферах обороны и безопасности переживают важные изменения с 2014 года. Обострение кризиса в Сирии привело к укреплению связей и военному и оборонному сотрудничеству между Ираном и Россией на региональном уровне. Делается вывод о том, что Иран и Россия расценивают расползание экстремизма в сопредельных с ними странах как основную угрозу своей национальной безопасности и развивают сотрудничество в этой сфере. По мнению автора, имеются определенные условия для развития ирано-российских связей до уровня стратегических союзников. Но для этого необходимо предотвратить влияние разрушительной роли третьих игроков на процесс оборонного сотрудничества между Тегераном и Москвой. Автор предполагает, что существующие препятствия для военного сотрудничества России с Ираном можно частично устранить снятием санкций Организации Объединенных Наций в 2020 году.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>Iran</kwd><kwd>defense relations</kwd><kwd>regional security</kwd><kwd>terrorism</kwd><kwd>extremism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>Иран</kwd><kwd>отношения в оборонительной сфере</kwd><kwd>региональная безопасность</kwd><kwd>терроризм</kwd><kwd>экстремизм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Loisel S.
