The purpose of the article is to study the methodology for transforming the content of education of student universities in the context of global danger to Russia. In the course of the study, the following tasks were completed: the consequences of the introduction of a liberal model of education in higher education, the activities of state institutions to change the paradigm of shaping the worldview of students of higher educational institutions were analyzed, the problems that arise in the process of creating a new model of education based on traditional values of Russia were identified. A hypothesis has been put forward - the actual actions of the actors of the educational work, including the introduction of the new academic subject "Fundamentals of Russian statehood", are capable of solving the problems of forming the worldview of students. The authors used theoretical and empirical research methods: generalization, analysis, synthesis, comparison, observation. The study showed the need to overcome problems in the creation of a new educational project, such as the possible destruction of the system of teaching social disciplines and the pedagogical incompetence of a number of teachers.
