The combined influence of objective (geography, size of territory, level of economic development, degree of cultural closeness) and political (ideology, institutions, balance of interests) factors determines the specifics of the interaction of participants, which is especially noticeable when comparing regions. The article deals with the phenomenon of international scientific cooperation on the example of the CIS countries and the Visegrad Group. The countries of each group are close geographically, have long-term and close political, economic and cultural ties, and are part of associations that have arisen as a result of the transformation of the previously common socialist space. The key difference is the organization of cooperation, which in the CIS takes place under the undisputed leadership of Russia, and in B4 within the framework of the common policy of the European Union.
