 ussian economy.\n\n*Talk Overview:*\nThirty years ago\, Francis Fukuyama i
 n his article ‘The End of History?’ formulated a thesis about the fina
 l victory of the neoliberal model of capitalism. But history does not stop
 . Two hundred years after the birth of Marx\, The Economist wrote that the
  millenial generation chooses socialism\, and the experts who prepared the
  report to the US president described socialism as the main threat. Alexan
 der Buzgalin shows that the cause of these fears is the crisis of the exis
 ting system of economic relations and institutions of late capitalism. He 
 systematizes the evidences of this crisis and shows\, that dominant politi
 cal and economic elite is looking for a way out of the impasse on the path
 s of ‘neoliberal conservatism’ that integrates further de-socializatio
 n and deregulation in the economy with conservative-authoritarian trends i
 n politics and ideology. At the end of the contribution\, Alexander Buzgal
 in reveals a number of ways of socialization\, humanization and ecologizat
 ion of capitalism\, objectively conditioned by the progress of technologie
 s and practices of civil society actors\, which differ from the existing s
 ocial democratic projects that have proved to be of little effectiveness\n
