Abstract
The paper examines the specifics of using the philosophical concepts of Ayn Rand as the basis of political discourse by the radical opposition of the Russian Federation in its political goals and perceptions of the target audience. The study used descriptive, structural and comparative analyses. The authors reveal the prerequisites for the synthesis of elements of liberalism and objectivism in the opposition’s discourse and the dispersion of its results among the mass protest audience.
