abstract = {Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum is a unique book for at least two reasons. Firstly, thanks to the artistry of synthesis, the narrative structure used by the author perfectly exhibits the ideological core of the contemporary discourse of (neo)liberal opposition. At the same time, thanks to her eristic talent, the very persuasive load of the text is worth recognition and in-depth insight. This publication aims to reconstruct the narrative base of the Twilight of Democracy and to reveal its persuasive apparatus. Then this case study is used to identify the more widely functioning ideological patterns associated with political actions, which are based on resentment, bitterness and the longing of (neo)liberals who were left out of power.},
