Spin-fluctuation transitions (SFTs) are generally understood as a change in the characteristics of spin fluctuations in a magnet under the effect of control parameters (for example, temperature or composition of the material), not directly related to the formation of phases with long-range magnetic order. Therefore, SFTs in most cases go beyond the standard theory of phase transitions, where fluctuations are typically considered a phenomenon accompanying a magnetic transition. We examine the current state of the SFT issue from the theoretical and experimental standpoints, including the example of MnSi and Mn1-xFexSi helical magnets, Hg1-xMnxTe magnetic semiconductors, doped compensated Ge:As(Ga) semiconductors, and a strongly correlated metal with hidden order, CeB6. The main methods for studying SFTs (neutron scattering and electron paramagnetic resonance) are discussed. We consider SFTs in the spin nematic phase, Ising disordered systems, paramagnetic and magnetically ordered phases, and quantum critical systems, as well as SFTs caused by changes in the spin dynamics. In discussing the SFT issue, we use the spin-polaron model, which unites objects of study that look disparate at first glance. We note that SFTs have not been studied in sufficient detail, and further research in this area may be one of the growth points in the modern physics of magnetic phenomena.
