Ideology represents symbolic system providing socially cultural stabilization, or establishing of concrete socially political status quo, in wider socially cultural environment of the society. The category “myth” understanding as a “social charter” represents one of the possible theoretical approaches to the problem of ideological system. The special function of myth – social charter, lies in the legitimization towards relations of dominance and inferiority in the society. From this viewpoint, myth – social charter represents purely ideological construction. This analytical category enables investigation of internal structure of ideology through the schematization mechanisms, which are both anthropologically and culturally determined.
