Abstract: 
The purpose of this study - to study the essence of the metaverse in the context of its role in the cyclical development of society as a new stage. This article substantiates that, in terms of dynamism and influence on societal development, the processes of metaverse formation represent a new stage of cyclical development of society. The development of metaverse has the potential to overcome the long crisis-depressive dynamics of the global economy and the deployment of an upward wave of the 6th Kondratiev cycle. It has been established that the technologies of the metaverse contribute to transhumanism, the development of the metaverse poses threats and challenges to the most important component of society's productive forces - people, as well as has eco-destructive consequences.It is shown that, the formation of the metaverse plays a significant role in the transformation of the geopolitical system, providing more and more advanced tools of 'soft power', as well as technologies for information and cognitive warfare and technologies for the development of 'military metaverses'. Thus, the technologies of the metaverse radically change the technical-technological, socio-economic, institutional, military, biological components of societal development, and thus the formation of the metaverse is a new stage in the cyclical development of human civilization.
