A historical overview of bilateral relations is made with an emphasis on trade. However, in today’s globalized world communication between representatives of such two diﬀerent cultures as Russia and Egypt can no longer rely upon traditional approaches. The choice in favour of the Russian-Egyptian interaction is determined by the following factors: 1) both countries are regional leaders - Russia is a locomotive of Eurasia and the leader of various political and economic processes at the post-Soviet space, while Egypt is both “heart and mind” of the Arab world, being a traditional architect of development in the Middle East and North Africa; 2) Russia traditionally has geopolitical interests in this part of the world, while Egypt has strong intention to diversify its international liaisons by including the Russian Federation into the circle of its strategic partners; 3) Russian-Egyptian relations enjoy a long and profound history; 4) Russian-Egyptian cooperation is currently being realized on a wide scale and includes political, military, economic, cultural, scientiﬁc, educational, social even religious spheres. Psychological challenges of the Russian-Egyptian business interaction are illustrated on both empirical and theoretical material: the ﬁrst is shown by the examples from the work of the RussianEgyptian Business Council. The second level is represented by the two theoretical concepts: 1. of M-time and P-time cultures elaborated by the prominent American anthropologist Edward Hall; 2. Long-Term Orientation dimension suggested by famous Dutch researcher Geert Hofstede.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье приводятся доказательства необходимости освоения кросс-культурной компетентности для развития российско-египетского торгово-экономического сотрудничества. Дан исторический обзор двусторонних отношений с акцентом на внешнеэкономическую деятельность. В сегодняшнем глобализирующемся мире коммуникация между представителями таких разных культур, как Россия и Египет, больше не может идти по традиционному пути. Выбор в пользу российско-египетского взаимодействия обусловлен следующими факторами: 1) обе страны являются региональными лидерами - Россия является локомотивом Евразии и лидером различных политических и экономических процессов на постсоветском пространстве, а Египет - «сердце» арабского мира, традиционный архитектор развития в регионе Ближнего Востока и Северной Африки; 2) Россия традиционно имеет геополитические интересы в этой части мира, в то время как Египет намерен диверсифицировать свои международные связи, включив Российскую Федерацию в число своих стратегических партнеров; 3) российско-египетские отношения имеют давнюю и глубокую историю; 4) Российско-египетское сотрудничество в настоящее время осуществляется полномасштабно и включает такие сферы, как политика, оборона, экономика, культура, наука, образование, а также социальную и религиозную сферы. На эмпирическом и на теоретическом материале показаны психологические проблемы, отмечаемые в ходе российско-египетского делового взаимодействия: эмпирический уровень демонстрируется с помощью примеров из работы Российско-египетского делового совета, теоретический уровень представлен двумя концепциями: концепцией монохромной и полихромной культуры, разработанной выдающимся американским антропологом Эдвардом Холлом, а также измерением «долгосрочная ориентация», предложенным известным голландским исследователем Геертом Хофстеде.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cross-cultural</kwd><kwd>communication</kwd><kwd>glocalization</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>Egypt</kwd><kwd>business</kwd><kwd>management</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>кросс-культурный</kwd><kwd>коммуникация</kwd><kwd>глокализация</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>Египет</kwd><kwd>бизнес</kwd><kwd>управление</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Anthony Giddens Discusses the Globalization Debate // Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, July 05, 2000.
