Involvement into international organizations has been a question remark for a long period of time and even today it continues to be debatable, impugning the very idea of collective action and state’s autonomy within the highly integrated world. Research question cosigned in this paper is devoted towards the aspect of Russian foreign policy being strongly reinforced by the idea of superiority and desire of international recognition on the amid of robust pursuit of country’s internal goals by means of membership within various international organizations, particularly taking into consideration the case of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). Notwithstanding the focus on OECD, the paper addresses the qualitative approach of Russian cultural specifics especially in terms of widening the ‘value gap’, including quantitative researches of Gender Inequality Index (GII) as one of the components of liberal values which lie within the OECD organizational structure. Studying the methodology and calculating the GII demonstrates gender inequality as one of the angles of misunderstanding. As a result, work is aimed to reflect the actuality of Russian attempts in becoming a member of OECD in conjuncture with its absolute goals of doing so.
