Economic and technological modernization and transformation of Russia in the context of a new reality

   Purpose: through the prism of new knowledge generated by the author, to explore possible ways of modernization and transformation of Russia in the conditions of the new reality: conducting the special military operation, the sharp confrontation with the collective West, the series of sanctions and counter-sanctions, the new economic course – supply-side economics, the Concept of technological development until 2030 and development of neural network artifi cial intelligence.

   The article is a natural continuation and an integral part of the research conducted by the author over several decades and dedicated to finding ways to a future without crises and destructive wars for Russia and the global world.

   Methods: the article uses a complex of general scientifi c methods, including analysis, generalization, comparison, etc. The research is based on the results of the author’s previous works and is relies on the methodological tools formed in them – new knowledge, a new scientific paradigm (NSP).

   Results: the author analyzed the state of Russia in the context of the need to gain economic and technological sovereignty. It is shown that there remains a lack of eff ective ways out of the deepest crisis and understanding the future in economic, scientifi c and technological aspects. Analysis of Russian and foreign publications through the prism of new knowledge made it possible to once again prove that the future of the world does not lie in the development of artifi cial intelligence, but in the transition to a new development paradigm (NDP) and comprehensive human development in a new model of life.

   Conclusions and Relevance: the conclusions of the author’s previous research on the need to transition to a new development paradigm were confi rmed. New evidence has been obtained that Russia, in the conditions of the new reality that began in February 2022, has become even closer to switching to NDP, the meaning and goal of which is the person himself, within the framework of which his highest need is satisfi ed – to become perfect in the physical, intellectually and spiritually.
