Blokhin Dmitry Germanovich

The article discusses the phenomenon of an eschatological ideological group in society, and describes the various ways in which such groups exist in society, analyzes possible ways of interaction of ideological groups with society and their impact on each individual person. The appearance and use of the term “ideological group” is due to the fact that it accurately delineates the boundaries and functions of uniting people on ideological grounds. Particular attention is paid to eschatological ideological groups. In the research process, a method of system analysis and typologization was used. The stages of development of ideological groups from emergence to completion of its existence are considered. In the period of the formation of an ideological group from the moment the idea appears to the complete cessation of any kind of activity, the group goes through a multi-stage and complex development path. Using the method of typologizing the stages of development of an ideological group, it was possible to distinguish ideological groups according to their individual characteristics and external characteristics. To establish the causes and factors (external and internal) of the emergence of the ideological group, a system analysis was used. The emergence of an ideological group in society is due to the fact that it goes beyond the framework of tradition in its ideological space, and an idea different from the generally accepted one is opposed to public opinion. The activities of an ideological group can affect society, and society can have an impact on ideological groups.
