The present paper exploits new headwinds blowing against the post-transition of Russia. It is argued that the new goal for Russia is an effective transition to a post-industrial stage of development. The author considers five main frontiers that challenge the successful achievement of this goal: 1) over-education and low investment in training, 2) poverty of the working population, 3) high inequalities and unfair distribution of incomes, 4) low rates of growth in human development, and 5) neoliberalism and growing alienation in contemporary Russia
