Annotation: In this paper, the author examines the phenomenon of Russia’s cultural sovereignty in the context of globalization and intercultural interaction. Particular attention is paid to the Russia-China Years of Culture project (2024–2025), aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and cooperation in the cultural sphere. Emphasis is also placed on the historical preconditions for the formation of cultural traditions in both countries, highlighting the unique identity of Russian and Chinese cultures. The study assesses the impact of cultural exchanges on international security and stability, emphasizing the role of culture in preserving traditional values and cultural sovereignty. The study draws on the history of cooperation and cultural exchange as unique phenomena for the peoples of Russia and China. Studying the history and culture of the great civilizations of Russia and China reveals the importance of cultural sovereignty for maintaining the unity of peoples and developing constructive international dialogue. This requires targeted efforts to popularize and promote national cultural values, traditional practices, and linguistic characteristics, which form the foundation for the unique identity of each nation. To achieve these goals, it is important to consider existing international legal instruments governing state cooperation in the cultural sphere. Such documents ensure the legal protection of cultural heritage and facilitate the exchange of cultural achievements between countries. Furthermore, special attention is paid to joint cultural projects initiated by Russia and China. These projects go beyond the simple exchange of traditions and seek to shape a shared vision of the future of the world in the face of global challenges and threats. These joint efforts are aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of the global community by preserving and transmitting cultural and historical experience to future generations. Thus, strengthening cultural sovereignty is a prerequisite for successful interaction between peoples and states in the current international environment.
