The article examines the evolution of the perception of the image of Andrei Stolz, the hero of the novel by I.A. Goncharov's "Oblomov", in various ideological discourses of Russia and the West from the moment of the publication of the work to the present time. The figure of Andrei Stolz in various research practices evolves into a kind of mythologeme and ideologeme that helps explain many trends in modern life. This dynamics in the assessment of the hero is characterized by a vector of movement from complete rejection of Andrei Stolz (a non-Russian character of the novel, "alien", because he is German by ethnicity and Lutheran by religion, despite the fact that his mother is Russian) to instructions the fact that this particular hero is one of the most demanded personalities - not just carriers of the author's conceptual ideas, who believed that the "crossing" of Russian soulfulness and German practicality should create the "correct" type of human nature in Russia, but also exponents new era.

The coming century of globalization dictates the need to change the perspective in the study of the work of the leading classics of Russian literature in the context of the unity of philosophy and aesthetics of the West and the East, understood as the foundation of the world integrity.

The paper analyzes the modern aspects of “soft power” in modern international relations using the example of the festival student movement, which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2017 in Sochi. Youth policy is an integral part of public policy both domestically and abroad. Soft power institutions are seen as integral tools of modern international politics. In the XX century, a special form of youth participation, or youth festivals, was formed. The paper uncovers the way of thinking, technique and substance of the World Festivals of Youth and Students, just as the highlights of their projects. Right up 'til the present time, work at celebrations assumes a significant part in accomplishing worldwide compassionate objectives, specifically, guaranteeing quiet life on our planet and the foundation of fair qualities. The fundamental way of thinking of the celebration is the standards of harmony, kinship of people groups, global solidarity, against radical and hostile to industrialist battle. The flame of the festival did not die out during the establishment of a unipolar world after the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and today is a symbol of the hope for a just and peaceful life on Earth. The 19th WFYS, which took place in 2017 on the Black Sea coast in the city of Sochi, was another example of the successful work of the World Federation of Democratic Youth on the dissemination of universal values and progressive ideas.
