Abstract
The article deals with the goal-setting of Russian education in the context of the global socio-cultural transition. The author thinks that domestic education is able to play the role of a «motor of changes» and simultaneously play the role of a protector which defends Russia from threats emanating from a new post-industrial reality. To this end, it should be oriented towards the formation of homo creator. The constitutive feature of this type of personality is the desire for creativity - the activity motivated by the internal, post-materialist interest, the thirst for heuristic activity. «The creative person» is able to become a guarantor of preserving Russia's otherness and preserving human nature in the subject of post-industrialism. The homo creator can stand against the onslaught of the «soft power» of a comfortably equipped, technologically advanced civilization of the West, and against the threat of «neo-barbarity», produced by immigration from countries of the South, whose culture is foreign to tolerance, openness to dialogue.
