Legal Means of Optimizing the Interaction of Russian Sports Entities with International Sports Organizations in the Context of the Application of Sports Sanctions Related to the Suspension of Russian Athletes from Participating in International Sports Events

The unfriendly political influence exerted on Russia in all major areas of socio-economic development by the United States and their satellites has resulted, among other things, in an actual ban for Russian athletes to participate in major international competitions under the Russian flag, which leads to a temporary loss of the national identity of Russian sports and objectively requires the development of traditional and introduction of innovative approaches in the field of interaction of Russian sports subjects with sports organizations in the context of sanctions and deglobalization processes which contribute into the formation of multipolarity. During the research logical, comparative, empirical, analytical, historical-legal, descriptive and other methods were used as the main means of cognition. The paper presents the results of the study of the main approaches to the development and improvement of interaction in the sports field with the use of the methods of sports diplomacy as an integral part of public diplomacy. The scientific novelty of the study is the conclusions according to which it is advisable in modern conditions for Russian sports teams to begin using the capabilities of Equipe Unifee through supranational sports bodies operating in the CIS frame (the CIS Council for Physical Culture and Sports) and other regional international organizations in which Russia participates to overcome sanctions bans at the initial stages acting as a permanent member-participant, primarily EAEU and SCO, up to the complete elimination of obstacles for the full-fledged return of national Russian sports teams to big sports. Proposals have also been made to improve the legal support for cooperation at the international level in this area.
