Abstract
The review highlights the main provisions of V. N. Zhukov’s monograph “The unconscious and power: classical psychoanalysis”. The book examines the concepts of the classics of psychoanalysis (Z. Freud, K. G. Jung, E. Fromm, V. Reich, G. Marcuse, S. Moscovici), their ideas about the mechanism of influence of the unconscious part of the human psyche on institutions and processes related to power, politics, the state and law. Psychoanalysis is one of the most influential areas in psychology of the 20th century. Its peculiarity is that it can be a universal method of analyzing all social phenomena, including politics, government, the state and law. At the same time, it is pointed out the probabilistic, hypothetical nature of the basic provisions of psychoanalysis and, accordingly, its conclusions about the nature of political and legal phenomena.
