Culture is an important component of communication and international relations. Cultural communication and cultural diplomacy play an effective role in the creation and maintenance of cooperation and relations between countries. It is also possible to say that the role of cultural communication and cultural diplomacy is increasingly increasing its importance. On a ground where identity policies are intensely implemented in the world, cultural diplomacy appears as an important platform for negotiations and a key field for the production of common solutions. Cultural communication enables the establishment of informal political relations. In particular, it keeps the communication channels between the countries open in cases where official political connections are in danger. Political relations can help to negotiate again. But cultural communication and cultural diplomacy activities cannot be fully realized without a strong and consistent structure behind which they are accompanied. Thus, this study has sought to present an objective perspective on the cultural, cultural and cultural diplomacy activities that Russia carries out in Central Asia. For this purpose, the activities carried out by the Rossotrudnichestvo institution have been examined. A method of identification was used in the study. It has been found that Rossotrudnichestvo (the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Federal Agency for Foreign Citizens and International Humanitarian Cooperation) is represented in Central Asia in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Mongolia and Afghanistan and carries out intensive cultural communication and cultural diplomacy activities that can be assessed within the soft-power framework to mainly preserve and increase its influence in the region.
