The article is devoted to the analysis of modern Western myth- making. In the 20th century, with the development of media and communications. With forced concessions to the masses as they became increasingly involved in public life, it became obvious to the Western elite that the most effective mechanism of control was the manipulation of public consciousness, the core of which was the creation and dissemination of myths. The main specific feature of modern Western myth-making is the development of mythological thinking among its very initiator – the elite. As a negative consequence, the Western elite is increasingly showing an inability to adequately assess reality and is guided in its actions by artificially created mythologies.
