This article presents the concept of a value archetypal complex (VAC) as a gist of culture. The value archetypal complex is a psychologically determined choice made by the primary group of people (that later became a nation) of interaction between the psychological and spiritual bases, which defined its peculiarity and its historical way. These interactions are absolute development of the idea of a people in space and time in the context of general movement towards solving the problem of struggle or cooperation of the world's bases. The VAC is determined by the following concepts and interactions between them. The nature archetype as an interaction between nature and human includes a model behaviour in situations of life, death, birth, human's attitude to nature as a physical world and as a sacred nature. The social archetype as a superstructure above natural, relations between a human and the society include characteristics and allocation of key agents (leader, hero, woman). A relative value in human understanding is an absolute value, an idea and ideal. It also is something that a human takes from the social life as a creative work result. The absolute truth can be understood as a human desire to transform the world in order to remove the world's discreteness. Having compared the contents of German and Russian cultures the following models of the VAC were determined: 1. Western European VAC. Relations between the human and nature. Nature is understood as an inanimate material and the humankind rapidly changes it. As a result of rationalism and subjectivism, the industry- oriented economy based on competition appears. But the human also refers to nature; it means that the human itself is not divine. The result is the rejection of God and the absolute truth as if it does not exist. Relations between the human and the society. The triumph of the woman's archaic beginning over the hero and his death. The leader is under her will. The woman's beginning as something intuitive, spontaneous is the source of irrational. The man's beginning is under the woman's total control. The hero as an exponent of a powerful and independent position dies. Woman's irrational beginning promotes the leader's actions. And these actions place themselves in formal rationalism. 2. Russian VAC. Relations between the human and nature. Nature is something spiritual, divine; the human tries to stay in contact with it. As a result, imaginable, intuitive world cognition, resource- oriented type of management appears. The human creates his world without destruction of the natural one. Relations between the human and the society. Equality between the woman's image and the hero that stand under the pressure of the leader. The leader personifies God. Woman's beginning means people's soul that turns to the hero and personifies his assistant and his reward. This hero stands as a society (a new type of relations) creator. In these relations the human bids a farewell to the mythological past where the human is under an absolute control of nature. The leader unites the woman's beginning and the hero and provides external relations and contacts with other nations and with God.
