Current events clearly show that Russia needs to redesign itself in a new, updated form. Naturally, this new design must be based on the genotype of «Russianness», on the timeless values of the Russian world. The country must find its universal, authentic idea. Many a lance has been broken over Russia’s national idea. The answer is yet to be found. All because the process is pointless and useless. Russia has no national idea. Russia’s idea is supranational. If you put it down in one word, that word would be «goodness». And that goodness is global. It does not stop at anything or anywhere. It seeks to spread itself everywhere, within the boundaries of the entire human society. In case anyone has doubts about understanding the concept of «goodness», the idea is actually quite clear and unambiguous: «goodness» is an intrinsic human quality, which means prioritizing self-giving in favor of other people rather than pursuing own interests. And this is a very important, fundamental criterion that defines the essence of a human and allows us to distinguish a person whose aim is positive creation from a person whose aim is destruction, in one way or another, because the latter would in any case oppose his or her interests to the interests of other people. The «goodness» is inherent in every person by nature, but not everyone displays it in practice. And it is solely a question of each of us choosing what is more important to us, what is dearer, what we consider primary and paramount and what is secondary – internal or external, general or private, the heart or narrow personal interests. In a sense, one could even say that to be human is to nurtue this vector of development in oneself. There is a saying in Russia: "We are all people, we are all humans". It makes sense to change it as follows: "We are all people, but not all of us are humans", which would mean that we have yet to become humans.

Russia’s new design should be built exactly around the idea of «goodness», as the concept of prioritizing universal human qualities, values, meanings and ideals, which should be realized in the creation of a corresponding society.
This implies a shift from developing things around a person and his or her own wealth (in the sense of receiving financial gains) to a focus on the actual person and developing him or her, his/her qualities and competencies.
