    [abstract] => This article explores the scientific and etymological interpretations of democracy, tracing its conceptual development from ancient Greek origins to its role in contemporary political systems. The study highlights how democracy, derived from demos (people) and kratos (power), has evolved across historical, cultural, and political contexts while maintaining its essential meaning as “people’s rule.” The paper examines major theoretical perspectives, particularly those of K. Sartori, A. Kovler, D. Held, A.A. Nudenko, and B.A. Talapov, to analyze democracy both as an ideal and as a socio-political phenomenon. Attention is given to the dialectical relationship between democracy and democratism, where the former embodies theoretical and normative ideals, while the latter reflects empirical principles and practical implementation. The study argues that democracy’s true understanding lies in revealing its immanent features — participation, representation, competition, equality, and personal freedom — and emphasizes its dependence on socio-cultural and ethno-national contexts. Ultimately, the article concludes that democracy and democratism are inseparable and mutually reinforcing, and that recognizing their interaction is key to understanding their philosophical, kratological, and legal significance in shaping modern governance.
