The  article  is  devoted  to  the  socio-philosophical  analysis  of  the  elite  ressentiment  phenomenon  in the  system  crisis  conditions  and  Bonapartism  genesis.  The  basic  meanings  of  the  concepts  of  envy  and ressentiment are analyzed. The conclusion is that the ressentiment of the ruling class manifests itself as the transformed (modified) form of the reflection of own position and is one of the reasons of “catastrophe from above”.
