Nationalism and Populism: identity and differences
Book ChapterDevelopment of the Russian socio-economic system: challenges and prospects- Author:
- Aleksandr I. Kugai
- Work direction:
- Глава 14
- Abstract:
- The article discloses the logic of populism and nationalism, presents the rationale: when and why these discourses historically arise, and what function they perform in modern politics. First of all, nationalism and populism are internally intertwined, have a common structural origin, they cannot be completely separated from each other, even if it is possible to distinguish the ideal–typical logic of these phenomena. Secondly, nationalism and populism manifest themselves in various forms: the vitality of "banal" nationalism is accompanied by the almost ubiquitous presence of "subtle" populism. Thirdly, the problem of the relationship of nationalism and populism to modern democracy is, in principle, intractable. Nationalism and populism are absolutely necessary for the functioning of modern democracy, as they offer a solution to the border problem and the problem of political representation. Accordingly, without a minimum layer of nationalism and populism, the modern democratic community would disintegrate before it could form.

Samaia vysokaia tsena - na iarmarke tshcheslaviia: psikhoanaliticheskaia kontseptsiia nartsissizma Erikha Fromma
Book ChapterModern Challenges of Education and Psychology of Personality Formation- Author:
- Aleksandr I. Kugai
- Work direction:
- Глава 13
- Abstract:
- The chapter methodologically explores the phenomenon of narcissism as presented in Erich Fromm's psychoanalytic theory. Fromm's critical social theory of narcissism serves as the basis for understanding the anatomy of malignant social processes (ethno-nationalism, fascism, post-fascism) that underlie far-right politics in contemporary society. In "narcissistic society," the driving force behind narcissism in its most malignant manifestations is immense vanity, embodied in the figures of the leader, the Führer, and the radical national political elite, who endow the nation with the role of the "chosen people" superior to all others and thus justify an attack on those who did not recognize their superiority, which is typical of contemporary US politics.

Gruppovaia psikhologiia i psikhoanaliz liderstva
Book ChapterPedagogy and Psychology as Sciences for the Formation of the Potential of Modern Society- Author:
- Aleksandr I. Kugai
- Work direction:
- Глава 8
- Abstract:
- The author of the chapter asks the question: what can psychoanalysis teach us about identifying the basis of 'leadership'? This can be illustrated by the example of former US President Donald Trump. Freud's theory of group psychology and ego analysis provide a conceptual means for clarifying the sense in which Trump can truly be described as a leader. According to Freud, what constitutes a cohesive group is inextricably linked to the «libidinal bond» between the leader and his followers, analogous to two «organized» groups, namely the Roman Catholic Church and the army. The unifying role of the leader in relation to the group also relies on a shared hatred of something external to the group. According to Naomi Klein, a factor in Trump's leadership is the peculiarities of his sadistic nature, deployed in relation to «Trump the Disciple», which provides a clue to formulating the unconscious grounds for identifying Trump's followers with him: since Trump «denies» castration (powerlessness) or lack, he embodies the imaginary «fullness of being» with which they identify themselves.

Natsionalizm i populizm kak psikhologicheskie fenomeny
Book ChapterPedagogy and Psychology as Sciences for the Formation of the Potential of Modern Society- Author:
- Aleksandr I. Kugai
- Work direction:
- Глава 10
- Abstract:
- The purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the interweaving of nationalism and populism, to identify the structural and socio-psychological factors from which the two discourses emerge. Nationalism is to come - as not so much a rational, but rather an emotional phenomenon, consisting of higher gnostic feelings of the belonging of mental processes to our "I". There are "banal" and "hot" forms of nationalism "banal" nationalism can be defined as the psychological presence of the nation against the background of everyday socio-political practices. Nationalism in the "hot" sense is to be as a psychological force that creates nation-states or threatens the stability of existing states. Also, Populist slogans are based on the psychology of winning one or another political force the trust and support of the masses. At the same time, the real goals of populist politicians (struggle for power, business project and enrichment), as a rule, are covered with socially attractive ideas. Standard populist statement: "We, the common people, will take to the streets and take back the country."
