Abstract

The author analyzes a specific phenome­non of public consciousness and behav­ior; he calls it phantoms. In the author’s view, phantoms are the phenomena that represent specific, sometimes abnormal or extravagant forms of social (public) activities and have a major impact on political, economic and social processes. Those involved in such activities have hypertrophied social characteristics (i.e., they have exorbitant lust for power, un­limited desire to possess wealth, painful desire for fame). In conjunction with per­sonal socio-psychological characteristics they represent a very specific range of political and public figures, representa­tives of financial oligarchy. Their emer­gence was made possible in the pivotal era of fundamental political and econom­ic reforms in modern Russia.
Keywords:
phantoms of social consciousness, the paradoxes, the centaur- problem phantom personalities, processes and phenomena
