Summary/Abstract: Ideology represents symbolic system providing socially cultural stabilization, or establishing of concrete socially political status quo, in wider socially cultural environment of the society. The category “myth” understanding as “social charter” represents one of the possible theoretical approaches to the problem of ideological system. The special function of myth – social charter, lies in the legitimization towards relations of dominance and inferiority in the society. From this viewpoint, myth – social charter represents purely ideological construction. This analytical category enables investigation of internal structure of ideology through the schematization mechanisms (and schemes), which are both anthropologically and culturally determined.
