Zetkin Sergey Nikolaevich

The article examines the origins of transhumanism, the connection with the ideas of Nietzsche, and analyzes the program of the “Russia 2045” movement and its idea of an ideal future, devoid of contradictions. The contradictions of this program are revealed, indicating the utopianism of the ideas of transhumanism. Examples of the implementation in practice of certain, and the most extreme, directions of transhumanist thought in our country are examined, which also confirm the utopianism of the implementation of this unscientific movement. As a result of the study, it was proven that transhumanism is a utopia. Therefore, the main goal of the entire movement of transhumanism is propaganda and persuasion of an inexperienced audience in order to recruit new adherents of its ideology.
