The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the conceptual foundation of the research area “Technosphere Safety”. It analyzes the conditions under which the ideas were formed in the Soviet past and the circumstances of their convergence with the field investigating the issues of hazards and threats. The authors conclude that the current situation in exploring the problems of safety relates to concrete historic dependence of renovation processes taking place in the post-Soviet scientific space. The evolution of the system of scientific knowledge connected with the integral research area called Life Safety (LS) is studied separately. This study shows that the conceptual grounds of the research area “Technosphere Safety” lie at the confluence of diverse trends and attitudes towards technical reality, qualitative rethinking of the nature of hazards and risks of technogenic society, and some attempts to renovate the system of training safety experts. This combination has brought about many contradictions and problems in today’s condition of the theoretical foundation of technosphere safety issue
