The study examines the specifics of understanding the Russian idea ideologeme in the Russian conceptual and language pictures of the world. The subject of the study is the compound name of the Russian idea, used in philosophical and political discourses, fragments of which are included in the National Corps of the Russian Language. The purpose of the study is to perform linguocognitive modeling of the ideological concept of the Russian idea as a unit of thinking, justifying the structural and semantic components. The cognitive matrix of the concept includes the following levels: precedent, prototypical, ideologicalevaluative, national-cultural, identification and association-shaped. having substantiated the structural and semantic components. The cognitive matrix of the concept includes such levels as: precedent, prototypical, ideological-evaluative, national-cultural, identification and association-shaped. Using the methodology of cognitive matrix analysis of knowledge representation, it was proved that the plane of expressing the ideologeme is represented by five main and four marginal options; the plane of the content of the ideologeme is determined, on the one hand, by the conceptual base, the projected historical and cultural component of the semantic field, on the other hand, by the content updated in the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries. The ideological component of the concept is ambivalent, due to the paradigm of situational models (frames) of a socio-political, philosophical, religious nature, the representation of which by speakers implies an explicit or implicit assessment of the event. The results of the study extend the boundaries of linguocognitive modeling of concepts. The proposed model of cognitive interpretation of an ideological concept can be used in describing a wide range of ideologues.
