In the article a quite advanced framework of political science – concept of political technocracy – is being interpreted in polysemous way. The ideological sources of the concept are found in a vague metaphysical triad of the Ancient Hellenes – „technicism – atomism – machinism”. Henri de Saint-Simon (first quarter of the XIX century) is proclaimed as a founder of the concept within the political science. Contribution and adjustments to the theoretical part of the concept of Americans from T. Veblen (20th years of the XX century) to D. Bell (70th years of the XX century) and from that time to R. Thaler (first decade of the 2000s) are also taken into account. Ukrainian and Moldovan practice during the era of political reformation in 1990-2000’s, which can be described by a Ukrainian folk slang „ne vse tak stalosya, yak gadalosya”, – is being characterized by several analytical and critical strokes.
