The research objective. The purpose of the article is a socio-philosophical analysis of innovation, the relationship between tradition and innovation, the specifics of innovative activity in conditions of brain drain.

The statement of basic materials. Innovation is the process of creating special forms of transfer of individual and social experience, creative activity and result, which are devoid of analogies. The constructiveness of innovation, in conditions of brain drain, consists in the creation and development of a creative personality, which becomes a source of social progress, because it is a carrier of new experience. In the conditions of brain drain, due to the transformation of the subject of the social process, a specific feature of the functioning of innovation arises: the individual creative personality is necessarily manifested as the source and carrier of innovation.

Conclusions. In the conditions of brain drain, innovation in combination with tradition acquires syncretism, which is realized through the social separation of unification, standardization, universalization, on the one hand, and recognition by the community of innovative activity, intercultural communication, solidarity and humanism as sources of social progress - on the other.
