Особливу увагу зосереджено на ілюстрації негативного досвіду популізму в німецькому суспільстві та його впливі на усі сфери життя. Певну роль відведено впливу ідеології та релігії. The article reviews the impact of populist slogans in the ideology of German Nazism. The main purpose of article is in illustration of negative experience of populism in German society and its influence on all aspects of life. Special attention is paid to the ideology and religion.Nazi ideology was based on populist slogans and a number of promises at all levels of German society and contained a violation of the rights and freedoms of the citizens. All that was characterized as systematic and eventually it resulted in a complete collapse of the Nazi ideology. Thus, an important step is a detailed study of the historical experience, theoretical and practical base of German Nazism. In the 21st century its variations became apparent as neo-Nazism and exists in the policy documents of radical parties in the Central and Eastern Europe countries, including Ukraine, which may not even be aware of its threat for the development of a free civil society. The importance of this research is in the fact that today there exist the threat of mass usage of the populist slogans of the so called «good intentions» aimed at improving living standards. However, the experience of the German politicians shows that they had also started the realization of their policy from the ideas and actions for the sake of «good intentions», but then in 1930s conducted referendum with an official 99 % turnout. Thus, an important step in the further research is in the study of the historical heritage of populism, in this case the example of Germany in 1930s, and consideration of past mistakes for building of a democratic society in Ukraine. Therefore, further research will consider the main populist slogans of neo-Nazi parties that take place in the countries of Western and Central Europe. The prospects of the given research have a rich heritage for analytical work, assessment, and reassessment of the historical phenomenon of «German Nazism». The future will give new vision, new strategies of development, and steps for positive change in society.
