Монархические мифотеологемы современного фундаменталистского дискурса: герменевтическая специфика

Abstract

Monarchist sentiments today are very common among representatives of Orthodox subcultures of a fundamentalist pattern. The dogmatization of monarchical concepts, which began in the Byzantine period in the history of Orthodoxy, is today perceived as part of the established religious tradition. Religious monarchism, represented in Russian society, does not have internal unity. It is possible to single out classical monarchism, which proves that monarchy is the best and most charitable form of organizing society, and eschatological, which believes that the coming Russian Orthodox tsar will have a special role in the upcoming eschatological and apocalyptic processes. Within the framework of eschatological monarchism, there is an active formation of mythologems and mythological narratives. The author's analysis of sources made it possible to identify five main thematic blocks: about the time of the coming of the king and the necessary conditions, about the personality and origin of the coming king, about the circumstances of the king's coming to power, about the nature of the king's reign, about the eschatological role of the king. The eschatological monarchical myth, constructed by modern contenders for the throne, is syncretic in nature and is generally aimed at substantiating the claims of the latter. The methods of inclusive hermeneutics are used as tools, allowing to interpret authoritative texts in accordance with apologetic purposes or to fabricate the latter.
