Chinese Marxist philosophers analyze the critical understanding by Russian scientists of the global crisis of capitalism and the prospects for social development in the 21st century. It is noted that the global crisis of capitalism is a natural stage of systemic contradictions in the logic of bourgeois development, and that modern problems of the capitalist economy are rooted in the inevitability of cyclical crises in conditions of market production and the hegemony of financial capital. It is suggested that the global crisis of capitalism is a cumulative manifestation of globalization in the 21st century, reflecting the fragility of the alliance of capitalist countries and intensifying the confrontation between the great powers in the context of the transformation of the international order. This, as noted in the articles, indicates the inability of the neoliberal system to cope with the challenges of the modern world. The international community must overcome the contradictions of internationalism and nationalism, based on Marxist ideas of the state, social community and human wellfare, which is the starting point for building global socialism.
