Abstract

The article explores the psychological foundations of totalitarian ideology on the example of religion (religious fundamentalism), nationalism (Nazism and racism) and communism (Bolshevism). The problem is considered in the historical context of the civilizational crisis, which is now continuing and exacerbating. The greatest crimes, which are justified by a totalitarian ideology, are wars, genocide and terrorism. The totalitarian behavior of large groups of people is suggested to be viewed from the point of view of social pathopsychology and pathosociology, because it cannot be explained by the psychology and psychopathology of the individual, which in a distorted “legal” field can change beyond recognition. One of the variants of the modern totalitarian ideology is the “hybrid ideology” of Putinism, which absorbed all the reactionary ideologemes of existing totalitarian ideologies. One of the symbols of this ideology is the St. George Ribbon. It is associated with the image of St. George Victorious, personifying a totalitarian beginning – a violent struggle against everything that is considered evil.
