The article is devoted to the problems of sovereignty and statehood. Much attention is paid to the teachings of the French lawyer and theologian Jean Bolin, who first introduced the concept of sovereignty. Other versions of the concept of sovereignty that were developed in the late middle ages in European countries, as well as the modern concept of sovereignty and statehood, are also considered. Specific examples of the geopolitical confrontation between the Russian Federation and the United States are given, which, in the author's opinion, contribute to the violation of generally accepted principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. The author focuses on the sovereignty of the young States of the South Caucasus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, comparing their statehood and sovereignty with some UN-recognized States. For example, Bhutan, Burundi, Cameroon, etc. Some modern States, such as the Russian Federation, China, Turkey, and some others, are actually fighting for the full sovereignty of their States and are thus in conflict with the United States.
