Позитивные изменения. Том 2, № 2 (2022). Positive changes. Volume 2, Issue 2 (2022)

Для того чтобы что-то делать в этом смысле уже сейчас, создана Фабрика позитивных изменений. Это агентство по инициации, созданию и развитию различных проектов, предприятий-носителей моделей позитивного будущего, а также выработке самих таких моделей.

Фабрика приглашает к широкому сотрудничеству различные проекты, предприятия, корпорации, людей — лидеров общественного мнения, ведущих экспертов, общественных и государственных деятелей, органы государственной власти для совместного созидания позитивных изменений в обществе.

Для решения задачи построения общества позитивных изменений, общества позитивного будущего у России есть все необходимое: это и коллективистский дух, который присущ русскому народу, и практический опыт совместного строительства «всем миром» больших проектов — общественных формаций. И «русский» здесь — это не признак национальности, а прилагательное, обозначающее принадлежность к определенному типу нравственного выбора, о котором шла речь выше, — выбора, когда самоотдача в пользу блага других людей в приоритете над собственной выгодой. Это позиция, которая присуща всем людям — «человекам» и на основе которой мы и будем вместе строить «Общество Человечности»: общество глобальной ответственности, понимания, нравственности и личностного развития каждого.

Вместе мы сначала построим страну позитивных изменений, а затем и весь мир. Тем более, что другого позитивного выбора сегодня у нас нет. Россия, полный вперед!

As President Putin says, the world is now undergoing a tectonic shift of global transformation. But what is it, exactly? What is the transformation in question? What exactly is the crisis about? What has caused it and what are the solutions? What will be the exit point that needs to be implemented? The answers to these questions are vital to our entire society. Without them, we will not be able to deal successfully with current and future challenges and threats and will be forced to suffer the damages. Until we find the right answers.

In any case, this is definitely a unique period in history. It marks the end of an era and brings into focus the need to change the entire model of human living and the society as a whole, as well as all individual areas of life. Everything must be revised and readjusted, starting with the humans themselves. The old model was created around building financial gains, and the general consensus was that we needed to achieve that point as a goal, as a point of stability, a point of satisfaction the moment it is reached and thereafter. Throughout human history, we thought that generating financial gains would solve all other problems automatically, or that at least these problems would not be too hard to tackle. But now that we, as a society in general, have reached the goal enough to feel its effects, it is becoming increasingly evident that the problems actually multiply and, most importantly, that the old model fails to solve them. We can see the failure of the old model in every area of life in that it fails to address the problems faced by the society.

Together we will build positive changes, first in one country and then in the whole world.

The reason is we have hit the limits of the current phase in human and social development, while the time does not stop here; it goes on, urging us to move to the next level. The problem, however, is that the current level of our development is deeply, fundamentally different from the next phase, and those differences must be analyzed, accepted, and then brought into life. In the old model, a person could exist as a standalone object, with limited local responsibility, not building his or her own life but passively reacting to what life throws into his or her local area, adapting to the environment and the relevant circumstances. The idea was that one could build one’s own separate happiness by successfully adapting. In the new model, however, the person is a subject, a master of life, actively shaping life and taking responsibility not only for his or her local area, but also for the life of the entire society. You cannot have a healthy liver when your entire body is sick. In order for the liver to stay healthy, one needs to deal with the health of the entire body.
