Summary/Abstract: Perhaps for the first time in its history, the Ukrainian scientific community is at the epicenter of large-scale geopolitical changes, and undoubtedly for the first time, the Ukrainian people are uniting advanced democratic forces around themselves. The unpredictable behavior of social systems after reaching a threshold level of socio-political energy within the system is called social turbulence. The article investigates Social Turbulence as the Scientific Phenomenon, as well as Operational and Strategic Change, resulting from the analysis of current events. The Ukrainian people’s war for their independence is a key factor causing political dissent in the functioning social system. It is the energy of political dissent of Ukrainians that causes social turbulence and, as a result, the change of the governing “world elite” and the reform of global institutions. The proposals of the “world leaders” Trump, Schröder and others to “cede” the territories of the Crimean Peninsula and Donbas in exchange for imaginary security guarantees from Russia demonstrate the true “effectiveness” of the existing security system and its unwillingness to withstand global challenges.
