N2 - The article presents the issue of impact of neoliberal ideas on the contemporary Russian educational theoryand practice. The Russian system of education fully demonstrates the processes of transformation ofeducation from a field of spiritual culture into the socio-cultural system aimed at the investing into thehuman capital. The authors see the roots in the contradictory methodological orientation of the construct ofthe Russian social modernization after the collapse of the USSR.

The authors show the emergence ofthe criticism ‘points’ of neoliberal education in the Western pedagogical community as well. First of all,unacceptability of education capitalization, introduction of competition, dehumanization of a person as aneducational services consumer is realized. One can see that in the USA and the Western Europe there appearthe objective tendencies of rejection of the neoliberal globalism values and the development of thetraditionalist paradigms of education. The paper stresses the necessity of the scientific analysis andprofessional pedagogical reflection on the significant contradictions, which show the crisis of neoliberaldevelopments in the Russian education.
