The article is devoted to the problems and priorities of the higher education development in Russia and the specificities of its long-term modernization process. It is indicated that the main problems and complications are the consequences of the technocratic and pragmatic approaches combined with mythologization and fetishization of some borrowed concepts and ideas. It is concluded that the fundamental drawback of the higher educational policy is the absence of spiritual, ideological, world-outlook related and theoretical-methodological grounds and the absence of connection with the national educational traditions and national interests.
