The study examines the factor of geopolitical pressure from the collective West, the multicultural specificity of the Crimean Peninsula as a factor of geopolitics. The author concludes the high significance of the military-strategic, geo-economic, sociocultural role of Crimea in political processes. The results of the “Crimean Spring” of 2014 largely changed the balance of power in the Northern Black Sea region and served as a new starting point in geopolitical dynamics. At the same time, Crimea may well play an important role in the formation of a new geopolitical ideology of Russia, which is necessary at the current situation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На основе структурно-функционального, кросс-культурного анализа и метода бинарных оппозиций рассматривается влияние «крымского фактора» на геополитические процессы в Черноморском регионе. Исследование сосредоточено на факторе геополитического прессинга со стороны коллективного Запада, поликультурной специфики Крымского полуострова как фактора геополитики. Автор приходит к выводу о высокой значимости военно-стратегической, геоэкономической, социокультурной роли Крыма в политических процессах. Итоги «Крымской весны» 2014 г. во многом изменили расстановку сил в Северном Причерноморье, послужили новой точкой отсчета в геополитической динамике. При этом Крым с большой долей вероятности может сыграть важную роль в формировании новой геополитической идеологии России, необходимой на современном этапе развития.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>civilizational foundation</kwd><kwd>ethnic diversity</kwd><kwd>geopolitical pressure</kwd><kwd>multipolar world</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цивилизационная первооснова</kwd><kwd>этническое разнообразие</kwd><kwd>геополитический прессинг</kwd><kwd>многополярный мир</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">Anchev, S.I.
