This work is a multilateral, interdisciplinary monitoring of modern processes in Europe. The changes taking place here are significant; their intensity will continue in the coming years. Objective and subjective events caused not only by globalization and a new stage of the scientific and technological revolution, but also by serious political miscalculations, put the Old World before the fact of deep socio-economic, political and cultural transformations. Europe has not yet found adequate answers to the questions posed by history.
