The article shows the transformation of traditional spiritual and moral values in the modern international situation. The author compares Russian and Western approaches and proves Russia’s global leadership in preserving universal spiritual and moral values. According to the author, currently the aggressive attack of postmodern supporters on religion, family, marriage, school is clearly manifesting itself, mockery of shrines is taking place, and conflicts are being provoked. Russia, through its centuries-old history, came to the current state national policy, striving to bring to other peoples what enriched them, and not turn them into mankurts who do not remember kinship. Russia’s authority on the world stage today is largely based precisely on the fact that it is perceived as a defender of traditional values.
