Abstract
The era of «the end of ideology» hadn’t been led to the whole deideologization of political sphere at all. Conversely, the age of domination of the only Superpower on the world stage brings to life a new form of ideological domination, required to the global leader. This ideology issued today in the form of so-called «soft ideology», main tenets of which become the displacement of deep discussions about the society and its prospects. The indirect and secret tactics of the modern «information war» mix with the new ideology of globalism. These tactics take the form of the cyber-fights in the virtual space.

PANORAMA OF THE WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT. RUSSIAN PHILOSOPHY: POLES AND VECTORS
75-87
Abstract
Pushkin's «The Bronze Horseman» poem (1833) is not only one of the masterpieces of Russian poetry, it also is a milestone of Russian political philosophy. The author proposes a hypothesis that «The Bronze Horseman» is written by Pushkin in Machiavelli's conceptual framework of «The Prince» (1513), whose main concept is the image of the Prince who is vanquishing the barbaric element. The poem is Pushkin's intellectual response to criticism (in poetic form) from his former friend, a Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, who previously made repeated references to Machiavelli and was disappointed in Pushkin's position regarding the Polish uprising of 1830 - 1831.

Abstract
It is considered the impact that Leo Tolstoy’s book «What I Believe» has had on the views of Friedrich Nietzsche. Extracts from Tolstoy’s book that Nietzsche wrote in his workbook and their reflection in his treatise «The Antichrist» are analyzed. It is shown that, after reading Tolstoy’s book, Nietzsche began to evaluate positively the doctrine of Jesus Christ and he began to realize that historical Christianity is radical distortion of that doctrine.

Abstract
Tradition of ethical reflection does not necessarily represent itself as a «school», united by the «the same» philosophical positions. The recently published collection of essays shows it could be a discussion community, whose primary goal is to find solutions to the most acute problems that a human being is confronted with. The article analyses some of these problems posed in the discussions: universality of moral norms and various practical dimensions in which they are encountered.
