The research methodology applies the general scientific methods of theoretical research, as well as general logical scientific methods of analysis, comparison and explanation. An integrated approach consists in the use of the methods of studying of the historical facts, confirmed by various sources. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of transformations of restoration theoretical concepts due to global economic and political processes. The dependence of the preservation of works of art on their social value is revealed and it is emphasized that the scientific significance of the monument is not always a sufficient argument for its preservation. Conclusions. The article considers the restoration activity as a component of the cultural life of modern society and defines the concept of the social value of art objects as its ideological superstructure. The author of the article defines the global threats to the preservation of the world cultural heritage and studies the influences of political and economic factors on the preservation of art objects. Particular attention is paid to the ambiguity of interpretations of the basic concepts of restoration science by representatives of different cultures and the need to create a universal heritage protection doctrine. Alternative concepts of modern restoration theory are presented. The author points out that considering the dangers and challenges of our time, it is necessary to rethink the established postulates of restoration activities, to look for effective models for cultural heritage integration into the modern cultural context.
