АннотацияThe article considers the role of ideological component in the works of leading Russian economists. In this paper the mutual influence of ideology and economic theory is considered. Addressing ideology explicitly is important in order to be able to track how ideological processes in economic science itself influence our lives through ways of thinking and politics. The analysis of the use of the concept of “ideology” by leading Russian economists is conducted. With the help of quantitative content analysis of the formed base of scientific articles of 21 leading Russian economists, a categorical grid (dictionary) of content analysis, including 406 word-combinations, was formed. To identify key microthemes, factor analysis (principal component analysis) was used; as a result, nine thematic groups were identified based on the interpretation of the obtained factor loads of the principal components: relationship of ideology with the formation of world economic patterns in the context of the formation of a new configuration of the global economy; relationship of market mechanisms and economic development; economic reproduction, state planning and control; global dominance and hegemony of the United States; state regulation with an emphasis on issues of entrepreneurship and capital reproduction and public interests; liberal globalization in the context of international cooperation and social responsibility; administrative reform, regulation and executive power of the Russian Federation; development of information technologies and information economy in the context of meeting needs, decision-making and organization of production and regional and spatial development of Russia. The analysis of microthemes from texts of leading Russian economists, using in explicit form the concept of ideology, allows showing the influence of the ideological component on positive and normative aspects of research within the framework of Russian economic science
