The article examines the West’s attempts to expose the world to a new colonization, both economically and politically, as well as through manipulation of consciousness, civilizational meanings and values. The paper reveals the content of the “Washington Consensus” model and coloniality as a new term in political discourse, denoting a more complex colonial dependence of modern times, hidden under the external appearance of independence and sovereignty, distinguishing it from the classical colonialism of the past.

Overcoming the main problems of the Russian economy based on domestic demand and potential for the internal development will require a significant change in its structural proportions. Necessary transformation, spurred by defence needs, is already underway with results surprising the West, which had hoped that unprecedented economic sanctions would break Russia’s resistance to its dictates. Moreover, the comprehensive aggression of the West against Russia seems to be backfiring and, instead of destroying it, contributes to its strengthening, creating conditions for a powerful economic breakthrough of the Russian state.
