Abstract
This article reviews the legacy of Hakob Pogosovich Nazaretyan (1947–2019), a distinguished Russian scholar, with a focus on the ideologization of societies and meaning formation as the major challenges of our time. The concept of historical singularity, a phenomenon of planetary significance that shapes the emerging scenarios of today’s world landscape, is defined. The growing importance, both for the international community and Russians, of maintaining a balance between the technological and humanistic aspects of universal culture to effectively address the escalating global crisis is highlighted. Based on the analysis of H.P. Nazaretyan’s key works, the role of ideology in this process, its productive anti-entropic function in the past and counterproductivity in the present and future, is examined.
