It is evident from the programs of the political parties, Russia perceives itself as powerful country in the multipolar world. And her foreign policy is tending to focus on closer cooperation with the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The study about relations between Russia and EU on the base of party programs is unusual, what is connected with not enough serious perception. However the study of party programs allows to get information about the perception of the countries of EU by the Russia’s political elites and to forward these findings to the supporters.

On the other hand, only because of this reason, party programs are suitable for determination of the fundamental values and aims of the Russian European and foreign policy.
