modernity

[Serguei Glebov]

Dear friends,

how would you translate "modernity" into Russian? Modern history is usually translated as "istoria Novogo vremeni" (from German Neuzeitgeschichte, I presume). There is a verb "modernizirovat'" but there seem to be no adequate translation for modernity.
If you had a free hand of Karamzin, who reportedly introduced many concepts into modern Russian (such as "predstavlenie" or "gosudarstvennost'"), how would you deal with modernity?

Thank you very much,

Serguei Glebov
