Abstract. The author studies the probabilistic attractor of postbifurcation movement of Russia, Ukraine and Belorussia. The essence of the attractor is defined as presence in the unified "Rus'skoy" civilization. The purpose of the work is to give argumentation of the need of choosing the given civilization. The research is methodologically completed using dialectic, hermeneutic and historical and logical approaches. The results of the study represent actual conclusions from the dialectic of "egoistic" and "collectivist" in recent history of the three countries; from the long-standing contradiction of leaders and peoples of these states; from actual confrontation "Nazi-Ukraine" and "Russo-Ukraine". The author demonstrates the essence of this confrontation – geopolitical struggle of Western and Russian civilization at the area of Belorussia, Ukraine and Russia. The novelty of the study is implied in understanding the antinomic truth of Rus'skoy civilization – catch-up, as well as advanced; in formulating new definitions of "Nazi-Ukraine" and "Russo-Ukraine" and in explaining their actual contradictions; in clarifying the specific of the opposition between the West and Russia. The author shows the "orthodoxy" of the West's antislavism, the reasons of the Eastern-Slavic space destruction, axiological degradation of the West and potentiality of "empire decline" (USA). The article reveals the orthodoxy of territorial and property claims to Slavic peoples; the Germans' desire to settle new territories and use these areas as colonies. The researcher proves that the attitude towards Ukraine is that of a partner-vassal. The conclusions of the research are grounded on the argumentation of the true attractor of the three countries movement – towards the unified "Rus'skaya" civilization. The essential causes of this process are immanent contradictions of the Western civilization, especially between the American atlanticism and Germanocentric continentalism. Moreover, there is the necessity for common cultural and historical fate connected with the faith to invaluable traditions being trampled and disappearing in the Western civilization. At the same time, the author demonstrates the possibility of maintaining democratic values and specific "bourgeois – non-bourgeois" social and economic projects.
Key words: geopolitics, Russian world, Western civilization, American atlanticism, Germanocentric continentalism, "Nazi-Ukraine", "Russo-Ukraine", egoistic and collectivist.
