ИСТИНА

After the invention and use of the atomic bomb - Albert Einstein said his famous words: "Humanity most needs a little bench to sit down and think”. In the context of modern globalization and the coronavirus pandemic, these words today sound no less relevant. At the same time, there is a lot of talk about the fact that a pandemic is fundamentally changing the world in which we live. But this is only at first glance. In fact, there is nothing unusual in what is happening. For those who are seriously engaged in global studies, it is quite obvious that the onset of such or similar situations was a matter of time. In other words, sooner or later this was to happen! Why? Because we have long been living in a global, interdependent world, but humanity as a whole does not respond adequately to this. Yes, today they only talk about caronovirus and the consequences that are still ahead of us. We have already paid a heavy price for inattention to the knowledge accumulated in global studies. But that's not all. Clearly, the economic and social consequences will be dire. The point is that nation states will strengthen their role in world affairs, and talk of a "unipolar world" will finally give way to the concept of a "multipolar world." But there is no solution. Problems will not subside, and dangers will not diminish. Is the threat of the outbreak of a full-scale bacteriological warfare a pure fantasy? Or has the potential threat of a nuclear war become less? But if such a war happens, and this is quite possible, for those who survive, the caronovirus pandemic will seem like child's play. There are many other global issues. But what has already been said is enough to assert that it is no longer possible to ignore global processes and their negative consequences or to underestimate their objective historical character!
