SCIENCE FICTION AS A DRIVER OF DEVELOPMENT. CREATING NEW FANTASY WORLDS AND ARRAYS (INCLUDING VIDEO GAMES)

Soviet science fiction (like earlier Russian cosmism) is entirely unique, yet remains largely unexamined.

Its defining feature is a deep belief in the future and in humanity's ability to shape it. It consistently portrays the triumph of Good over Evil and expresses confidence that technological progress will be aligned with moral growth, advancing human ideals, and fostering justice and harmony in society. Contemporary Russian science fiction can build on this foundation, once again envisioning a happy civilization and, in doing so, bringing it closer to reality. Fiction often turns into reality, and the more constructive the ideas of science fiction writers are, the greater the chance that those ideas will inspire the creators of our world.

It is important for the joint efforts between governments, scientists, and creative industry representatives to study the experience of Soviet science fiction, as well as that of China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. Continuing this dialogue will help develop strategies for creating content that shapes the image of the future, grounded in traditional values, respect, and the principles of a multipolar world.
