Postmodern Ideologems vs Nationally Oriented Worldview: Toward an Understanding of the Political Picture of the World of Russian Youth

The article discusses the current revision of Western philosophical concepts, socio-cultural practices, culture of everyday life, which hinder the formation of a nationally, civilizationally oriented worldview of modern Russian youth. Interfering with almost the main task of the national system of education and upbringing — the formation of a patriotic worldview of Russian youth. The reader’s attention is focused on the origins of postmodern concepts, referring to the works of W. Reich, G. Marcuse, J. F. Lyotard and others. The ratio of modern, postmodern and premodern beginnings in the Russian patriotic worldview is considered. It was formed over a number of historical epochs, retaining the most valuable ideological elements, primarily the intellectual concept of Count S. S. Uvarov “Orthodoxy. Autocracy. Nationality”, which has an important ideological significance today.
