With appendix, brief outline of explanations and important orders on labor. (Practical commentary) By E.N. Danilov. ; Mode of access: Internet.

The first quarter of the 21st century was marked by global instability. Sharp climate changes, biodiversity loss, exponential population growth, a lack of natural resources and living space, environmental pollution form a complex of current global issues that pose a threat to the humanity's future. The article demonstrates the destructive nature of the established consumer vector of development, which underlies the modern economic model, and also reveals the negative aspects of scientific and technological progress that led to the global environmental crisis. Overcoming these negative trends presupposes the choice of new strategies for socioeconomic development, which are based on its alignment with the laws of evolution of the biosphere. The achievement of a secure future implies the preservation of natural ecosystems considering their ability to self-repair disturbed processes within the economic capacity of the biosphere, since its excess leads to a violation of the biological cycle of energy and matter, and to the ecological imbalance in the biosphere. Taking into account the patterns of conservation of natural ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole, the authors propose the strategy of sufficient development, and determine related implementation measures. They include development of environmentally safe technologies and the approval of a new humanism as a necessary condition for achieving a secure future. The authors argue there is a need in the radical revision of value orientations in order to achieve a secure future. This revision presupposes redirecting people from the anthropocentric orientation in relation to nature to the bio-anthropocentric orientation, which takes into account the need to preserve nature and the spiritual world, and preserves the moral foundations of the development of society.

In the article, the editorial Board of the journal refers to a significant event in the life of the region of recent times – the awarding of the honorary title of «City of Labor Valour» to Saratov Saratov. The reasons for making such a decision by the President of the Russian Federation are considered. It shows the contribution of Saratov as one of the largest military-industrial centers of the country in ensuring victory in the Great Patriotic War and the most important facts of the labor feat of its residents.

The round table is devoted to the discussion on a wide range of problems related to new challenges and prospects for the development of modern society. These are the challenges of global instability, bio- and cybersecurity, pandemic problems, digitalisation, which all lead the world to large-scale crises: economic, environmental, anthropological, etc. In the conditions of global instability, there is a rise of connections and interactions that fix new social changes, some other integrity, and the crisis of the technogenic civilisation. In this case, modernity is perceived not as a completed project, but as a process of updating social reality, a person's ideas about society. It includes the main aspects of human relations to the world, and opens up a great civilisational diversity, which only grows with time. The catalysts of change on the way to a new modernity are values that reflect changes in life meanings under the influence of social life. Constantly emerging new risks and challenges motivate the reset of values that are tested in the depths of culture and only after that become ideals for imitation and reproduction. Currently, there is another change of milestones. Modernity imposes its own requirements on the processes taking place in society, and largely determines the course of global evolution as the path of ascent of complex systems to higher levels of organisation and complexity.
