The article explores the ontological principles of the conservative concept of I. Ilyin. The first part focused on the analysis of the principles themselves: creationism, hierarchism, traditionalism, and organicism. The second part substantiates the position that other research actions, including the creation of a metalanguage (conceptual and categorical tools) for describing the socio - political concept of the Russian thinker, become possible and implementable on the basis of studying the mental and ideological origins of Ilyin's political philosophy. The author emphasizes the organic nature of Ilyin's views and views throughout the previous tradition of socio-political research, as well as the harmony of his ideological ideas with the global trends in the development of political science. It is concluded that it is possible to present Ilyin's socio-political concept as an alternative to current practices and strategies of political changes and transformations, and thus to actualize the problem of interpreting certain provisions of the author's political model in the modern socio - political context.
