Economic, demographic, migration and geopolitical processes are analyzed as interrelated manifestations of a systemic transformation, accompanied by a change of power and ideas of man about the elites, the forms. Special attention is paid to techno-humanism as an emerging quasi-religious ideology of a new technological order, capable of fundamentally conflicting with the Christian understanding of freedom, personality and human dignity. The crisis and at the same time the mobilization potential of the Christian civilization, the possibility of a new Christian conilary action against the technological change of man is considered. On the basis of the Russian religious, philosophical and civilizational tradition, the question arises as to the role of Russia in the emerging world order.
