The article deals with the problem of renaissance of pagan beliefs and archetypes in the culture of post- USSR countries and its impact on political and ideological processes. The author describes and analyses the fundamental principles and mechanisms of mythological renaissance, a typical tendency of transitive cultures in the situation of social changes and globalization. The article provides an integral vision of National Bolshevik ideology, including its historical, philosophical, political and ideological aspects. It stresses the necessity of viewing National Bolshevism as a well-developed doctrinal theory and practice of the right-wing totalitarianism, or Russian neo-fascism. The author explicates ideological principles and projects of global reconstruction of society, which are the most typical of National Bolshevism. The article makes a point that that the National Bolshevik movement takes a Neo-pagan ideological turn that can be described as a synthesis of Neo-pagan ideas and neo-totalitarian tendencies at cultural and social levels. The author proposes two models for understanding the Neo-pagan framework of the National Bolshevik ideology. The first model provides an understanding of Neo-paganism as a special type of mentality shaped by an unconventional interpretation of three temporal modes – the past, the present and the future. The second model understands it as a unity of two fundamental conceptual programs intended for the reconstruction of ontological status of the world and the individual (“Neo-pagan metaphysics”) as well as the reconstruction of social order (“Neo-pagan meta-politics”).
