Abstract
The article substantiates the fallacy and illogicality of using the term «collective West» in Russia and the political and legal expediency of replacing it with the author’s construct «collective West». The demand for the use of such new terms as «natural world majority» or «community of actors of sovereign statehood» in legal and political science is argued. The essential difference between Western aggressive-monetary and Russian original civilizations is highlighted, as well as the need for widespread promotion to leadership positions of truly state-oriented, patriotic and competent personnel, who are de facto guided by the imperative of realizing Russia’s national interests and ensuring its national security through the use of innovative , effective and proactive approaches.
