Abstract

Though the Delyagin’s publication is referred to as «hopscotch», it should be noted as follows. The problems highlighted in its caption are associated not only, in terms of thinking and actions, and, alas, not just with the author of the article «New reality: Russia and global challenges» (and of his team). The socio-economic course of the state is determined at the level of its top-most (political) leadership responsible for both the respective choice and implications of its implementation.
