Results. The basic specific features and components of the emerging metaverse are determined. The possibilities and limitations of the digital environment and digital technologies in the field of stopping the risks of rehabilitating Nazi ideas are revealed.
Research implications. The study will allow to determine the main priorities of digital systems and technologies to counter the spread of Nazi ideas. It is emphasized that artificial intelligence technologies begin to play a key role in identifying the threats of Nazism. The theoretical significance of the article is seen in the fact that several scenarios for the digital evolution of the metaverse are proposed, taking into account the geopolitical and domestic political plane.
