Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to identify the system of international relations that has taken place since Russia’s role in international political relations got more influential. Many scholars argue in favor of multipolarity, others support the idea of alleged rebirth of bipolarity. There is also a group of scholars who seek arguments in favor of the concept of uni-multipolarity. The basic premise of this paper is that the analysis of the main features of the listed systems does not provide solid ground for understanding the current IR. Thus the paper is an effort in finding an answer about the concept and form of the current system of IR and its stability. It is done through analysis of the current system of international relations through the lenses of hybrid uni-multipolar system. Consequently, this paper is trying to propose a theoretical basis of a new hybrid system i.e. bi-multipolarity as the best way in which the new international relationships could be understood and explained.
