Annotation

The article provides a critical analysis and evaluation of the idea of forming an open society by K. Popper. Its theoretical sources and internal methodological flaws are considered. The specific results of attempts to implement it in practice are shown. The connection between the results of the introduction of this idea into the mass consciousness of Russians and its inconsistency with traditional national spiritual and moral values is revealed. The geopolitical significance of this concept is revealed in the context of the intensified confrontation between the West and Russia. Based on the ideas of P. Buchanan, A. Dershowitz, J. Nasbit, E. Toffler, F. Fukuyama, S. Huntington, the initial inconsistency of the ideas about the end of history as the formation of a planetary and universal open society as a model of a unipolar world is shown. The thesis is put forward that the fundamental ideas of an open society (democracy, market economy, free competition, etc.), determined by the aspirations of the Western world for the cultural and civilizational assimilation of third countries and peoples, led to the emergence of the phenomena of quasi-democracy and quasi-market economy.
