Abstract
Aim. To determine the causes and essence of the current extreme escalation of the civilizational confrontation between the West and Russia and the western preparation for war with Russia.
Methodology. The main content of the study is the analysis of the transition process of the civilizational confrontation between the West and Russia to its extreme form and the preparation of Western countries for war with Russia. Systematic, comparative and phenomenological research methods are used.
Results. The study conducted made it possible to establish that the conquest of Russia is necessary for Western geocivilization in order to crush its main enemy, socialist China, using the resources and territory of Russia, which shares a common border with the PRC, and in every possible way to slow down the geocivilizational transition from the dominance of Western civilization to non-Western civilization.
Research implications. A certain contribution to the theory of political systems is establishing the reasons for the process of preparing Western countries for war with Russia, as well as considering the main forms of manifestation of this phenomenon.
