Summary/Abstract: In the article, a broad understanding of counterculture and countercultural resistance is proposed. The author suggests broadening the analyses of countercultural resistance with Romantic resistance and with ecological resistance movements. At the same time, he pays due attention in his analyses to the significance and manifestation of the “Romantic need.” The importance of the idea of nature is also emphasized – the idea which, in the author’s opinion, was taken over by Romantics from the esoteric tradition, only to be subsequently reinterpreted and continued in the 20th-century youth counterculture and in environmentalist milieu/environmentalist circles.
