of “charismatic process” in sociological theory as a special type of social process and identification
of its socio-cultural determinants. The study presents a logical scheme of charismatic process that
includes the latent and the explicit stages. The latent stage is a social background urging the appearance
of a social leader. It consists of two components. The first one is a cultural legitimating of charisma that
implies the presence in the culture of a stable, emotionally colored image of a charismatic leader. The
second one is a crisis, i.e. the maturing of the need to resolve the acute social crisis. During the crisis
the charismatic leader acts as a restoring mechanism and serves as a symbolic social order guarantor.
The latent stage turns into the explicit one when there appears such a leader who satisfies the criteria
of personal charisma, i.e. personifies a mythological image of a hero who is capable of resolving the
crisis. The conceptual framework suggested by the author allows detecting a charismatic process if all
of the above-mentioned factors are evident.
