is one of the most effective tools for influencing public consciousness; it triggers fear and terror in social psychology, and appeals to the mythological worldview, which is the ‘core’ of its managing impact. subject of my article is archetypal foundation of the mass consciousness that experts in the field of mythodesign actively use to substantiate terrorist activities: I suppose these archetypal forms constitute a mythological space of terrorism. In my study, I based on the cultural, civilizational, anthropological and post-structural methodologies, using which I have explored myths of sacrifice, martyrdom and heroism of suicide, mythological messages, communication and information and communication technology, forming an attractive image of a terrorist. I have shown the influence of intellectuals on the formation of mythological space is comparable to influence of religious and pseudo-religious (ideological) concepts. I conclude terrorist ideology could be destroyed with the help of a comprehensive study of its mythological measurements using not only scientific and research programs but also creative and aesthetic programs.
