The large-scale structural transformations of Russian economy - the new industrialization - is a core of its transition to sustainable development. The importance of new industrialization is proved by the possibility of overcoming technical and technological lagging behind the leading countries and expanding deep processing and high-tech industries. Based on the analysis of statistics, the features of structure of economy of Russia are revealed. It is shown that transition to new industrialization is a characteristic of the industrially developed countries of the world and the source of environment-friendly industries' boosting. The mechanism of the "window of opportunities" implementation when changing technological layers is considered. The hypothesis of a research assumes that opening the "window of opportunities" when replacing the fifth technological layer with the sixth, is a reference point for definition of the directions of strategic transformations in the context of sustainable development and extended environment protection.
