Summary/Abstract: The concept of Arnold Toynbee assumes that disintegration does not depend on the crises and their frequency, but rather on the deeper social and political phenomena that prevent the development or even continuance of a civilization. The purpose of this article is an attempt to capture the phenomena of disintegration, as well as reflection on whether similar phenomena can be identified during the European crises at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
