Abstract

Modern institutions not only influence the current political situation, but also regulate the processes of political passivity/ activity of the population, transforming and modernizing the processes of geopolitics and the political system as a whole. Today, we are actively involved in the process of the device, which can be a catalyst in stabilizing and/or destabilizing the political space. The strengthening of positions of Islamic radicalism, the juxtaposition of the world of East and West, the activity of external migration processes, the terrorist activity of some religious organizations make us pay attention to the identification mechanism for politicizing religion based on the analysis of specific political technologies when working with potential recipients of such content. Understanding the specifics of the politicization of religion can help significantly in the development of measures to ensure social and national security. At the end of the 20thcentury,we witnessed a "religious renaissance " in which religion rapidly gained from the thaw in the traditional countries of Islam, reinforcing the link between political and religious spheres of society, as the former state of religion has been undermined by ethnotrauma [1], primarily in post-socialist countries, including Russia. The authors aim to look at the reasons "religious renaissance" and the politicization of religion as a factor of power, taking into account the identification of the impact on the transformation of the modern geopolitical picture of the world.
