ABSTRACT:
The article analyzes the peculiarities of the formation, optionality and prospects for the development of populism in the countries of Central-Eastern Europe at the background of political theorizations and the European experience. This is done in view of the fact that populism is being talked about both theoretically and practically, as well as in a regional context, in particular in the context of certain samples of countries and even parts of the world. It is revealed that the current understanding of populism is quite blurred by both regional and national specifics, as well as by the conditions in which political actors in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe appeal to or modify the principles and postulates that are classically associated with the phenomenon of populism in political theory and practice, at least in European one. Having studied the options of populism in the countries of the region, it is found that it only partially repeats the attributes of populism in the all-European context, as well as it (especially in the current political situation in the world) is not and cannot be a short-term phenomenon without a future.
