Abstract
Religion is one of the fundamental factors of international cooperation, as it unites representatives of different ethnic groups, states, continents, be ing a connecting link for them. Islam is one of the main world confessions, and the Hajj, being one of its main pillars, promotes the mobility of Muslims and their rapprochement. The role of the Hajj in Russian public diplomacy is considered, as Muslims are an important component of mul tinational and multi-confessional Russia.
