Abstract: The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decades of the XXI century in foreign, and under its influence in many ways in the domestic scientific discourse, were marked by the "end" of history, modernity, as well as related ideologies. It was proclaimed that the global ideologies of the right-left-centrist type that arose in a certain historical epoch, from Marxism to liberalism, had lost their significance and their ability to mobilize the masses. Their place in the postmodern, post-ideological reality has been taken by separate "molecular" ideologies of "identity politics" and "action politics". However, the events of the last two decades (and especially the special military operation) have clearly demonstrated the importance and significance of ideology as a factor that has a significant impact on the formation, functioning, stability or destabilization of social systems. At the same time, modern Western societies, which have put "identity movements" and "action movements" at the forefront of socio-political life, have faced an avalanche of problems and, first of all, a sharp increase in the number of radical ideological groups and movements and related violent actions, increasingly professional, sophisticated and cruel. The article attempts to identify possible promising approaches to the study of the causes and underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon, and also points out that the rejection of the state as a mandatory ideology does not necessarily mean the rejection of ideology as a system of ideas based on fundamental basic values, with the help of which long-term political goals can be established, explained and justified goals and means to achieve them both on the internal and external track.
