GUREVICH, P.S. ADVENTURES OF NATIONAL IDEA

Abstract: : It was already Yung who spoke of the importance of myth in a human life. According to Yung, myth is not a fiction but feelings and beliefs often leading to actual life events. Being based on a social myth, the national idea reflects the nation’s attitude to themselves, other peoples and the nation’s role in the world history and has a risk to result in religious fundamentalism.
