Download or read book Russian Nationalism Since 1856 written by Astrid S. Tuminez and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoughtful book describes the range of nationalist ideas that have taken root in Russia since 1856. Drawing on a wide range of archival documents and unparalleled interview material from the post-Soviet period, Tuminez analyzes two cases_Russian panslavism in 1856-1878 and great power nationalism in 1905-1914_when aggressive nationalist ideas clearly influenced Russian foreign policy and contributed to decisions to go to war. Yet not all forms of nationalism have been malevolent, and the author assesses competing nationalist ideologies in the post-Soviet period to clarify the conditions under which a particularly belligerent nationalism could flourish and influence Russian international behavior.

Book excerpt: The cover shows one side of a medallion commemorating the 1807 Treaty of Tilsit, ending the War of the Fourth Coalition (1806-07), signed by Alexander I of Russia (right) and Napoleon I of France - symbolic representatives of Russia and Europe. The treaty called for self-interested cooperation, in place of warfare, between the two powers. Despite the amicable embrace of the emperors, the medallion conveys the lingering wariness between the two former, and future, opponents. In this book, Danilevskii speaks of the Treaty of Tilsit with regret, as a lost opportunity for Russia to pursue its national ambitions and historical destiny: to liberate the Slavs from Habsburg and Ottoman rule and unite them under its own protective hegemony. Instead, Danilevskii says, Russia put European interests ahead of its own, triggering the invasion of 1812 and its aftermath. It continued serving European rather than Russian interests from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 through its intervention in Hungary, to prop up Habsburg rule, in 1849. For this service it was repaid with ingratitude, when the European powers united against it in the invasion of Crimea in 1853. Danilevskii's attempt at an explanation for Europe's ingratitude and hostility toward Russia, is the starting point of this book. -- from back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia is a great country—both in terms of size and its achievements. It is the largest country in the world and, perhaps, the richest one as well, if one counts all its natural resources combined. The Russian population is well educated and its sciences and technology are quite advanced. It is also a country with political, legal, and economic systems similar to those in Western Europe and North America. What then prevents it from joining the community of Western democratic societies? What makes it always slide back into the habitual mode of authoritarianism, nationalism, and permeating corruption even when formal democratic institutions and structures are installed? Why does it stubbornly resist any attempts to promote democracy and liberalism? Is it because some curse hangs over the country and it always ends up in the hands of a bad government? The author of this book is convinced that the Russian government is just a derivative of the entire population—the entire culture. The book is thus devoted to Russian culture in comparison with Western cultures and the United States in particular. The author begins this juxtaposition at the dawn of Russian history—the Christianization of Russia in the late tenth century. Religion played a tremendous role in shaping Russian tradition from the tenth through the seventeenth centuries. Choosing Greek Orthodoxy Russia made the first and decisive step away from Western Christianity inheriting the Byzantine kind of authoritarianism and banning not only the religious doctrine but also all knowledge coming from the West including Latin. The author also demonstrates how serfdom and the agricultural commune, which lasted virtually into the twentieth century, fostered the culture of collectivism, nationalism, and legal nihilism. The book’s last part explores the psychology of Russian perceptions of the United States—a crucial factor in the relationships between the two countries. Russian culture, the author contends, persists due to inculcating children during the early childhood socialization, thus passing values and myths from generation to generation. This book represents a truly interdisciplinary project employing ideas and research results from such disciplines as cultural and psychological anthropology, social psychology, psychology of child development, sociology, semiology, law, and history of Russia and Russian religion.

Download or read book Byzantinism & Slavdom written by Konstantin Leontiev and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by some as the 'Russian Nietzsche', Konstantin Leontiev (1831-1891) was one of the most enigmatic Russian philosophers of the 19th century. A staunch defender of tsarist autocracy, he offered a radical critique of modern egalitarian culture and politics, particularly from an aesthetic point of view. Byzantinism & Slavdom examines the legacy of Byzantium and its vital relevance for understanding Russia and forging its future, distinct from the prevailing ethos of Europe which Leontiev diagnosed as undergoing a civilisational death. What distinguished Leontiev's aristocratic outlook from that of Nietzsche was his enduring loyalty to the Orthodox Christian faith, without which he predicted Russia would perish. Beyond its remarkable prophecies of WWI and the European Union, this 1875 work is a critical text in the Russian philosophy of history. Translated into English for the first time and introduced with commentary from K. Benois, Byzantinism & Slavdom is essential reading for anyone who truly wishes to grasp the rise and decline of civilisations, driven by titanic laws of natural development, and what these mean for Russia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative analysis of the relationship between Russia and the West, and a prophecy of its ultimate outcome"Europe never had, nor did she ever claim to have, a mission to fulfill towards Russia. At the most, she desired concessions or economic booty. But for almost a century, Russia had been conscious of a mission towards Europe; this feeling finally crystallized into a Russian national consciousness. Russia did not crave to enrich herself by conquest--she only desired to redeem the Western world. The Russian soul finds its greatest happiness in sacrifice and is perpetually striving towards an all-embracing unity. It desires to embody in flesh and blood the concept of universal humanity. The Russian soul overflowed into the Western world which, in its desire for the whole, it sought to capture. It seeks, not to complete itself, but to offer lavishly; it seeks not to take but to give. The Russian soul is a messianic soul, whose ultimate aim and ultimate bliss are the exuberance and abandonment with which it desires to become immersed in the All." (p. 26)"What I am now about to say may appear bold, but it must nevertheless be said. Russia is the only country which can and will redeem Europe--for the simple reason that toward all vital problems she assumes an attitude which is diametrically opposed to that of all European nations. Out of the depths of her unique suffering, and because of it, Russia is able to bring a deeper knowledge of mankind and of the meaning of human life to the other nations. The Russians possess the spiritual qualities required for this task, qualities that are lacking in every Western nation."In its present form, the problem of East and West represents, at one and the same time, the great problem of the rebirth of humanity, the possibility of regenerating the West, a reminder of the necessity of reuniting a divided mankind and the task of creating the perfect type of human being."

Download or read book The Decay of Western Civilisation and Resurgence of Russia written by Glenn Diesen and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains the rise of populist movements across the West and their affinity towards Russia? UKIP¿s Brexit victory, Trump¿s triumph, and the successive elections and referendums in Europe were united by a repudiation of the liberal international order. These new political forces envision the struggle to reproduce and advance Western civilisation to be fought along a patriotism¿cosmopolitanism or nationalism¿globalism battlefield, in which Russia becomes a partner rather than an adversary. Armed with neomodernism and geoeconomics, Russia has inadvertently taken on a central role in the decay of Western civilisation. This book explores the cooperation and competition between Western and Russian civilisation and the rise of anti-establishment political forces both contesting the international liberal order and expressing the desire for closer relations with Russia. Diesen proposes that Western civilisation has reached a critical juncture as modern society (gesellschaft) has overwhelmed and exhausted the traditional community (gemeinschaft) and shows the causes for the decay of Western civilisation and the subsequent impact on cooperation and conflict with Russia. The author also considers whether Russia¿s international conservativism is authentic and can negate the West¿s decadence, or if it is merely a shrewd strategy by a rival civilisation also in decay. This volume will be of interest to scholars of international relations, political science, security studies, international political economy, and Russian studies.

Download or read book National Identity and Great-Power Status in Russia and Japan written by Tadashi Anno and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having suffered military defeat at the hands of advanced Western powers in the 1850s, Russia and Japan embarked upon a program of catch-up and modernization in the late-19th Century. While the two states sought in the main to replicate the successes of the advanced great powers of the West, the discourse on national identity among Russian and Japanese elite in this period evinced a considerable degree of ambivalence about Western dominance. With the onset of the crisis of power and legitimacy in the international order ushered in by the First World War, this ambivalence shifted towards more open revolt against Western dominance. The rise of communism in Russia and militarism in Japan were significantly shaped by their search for national distinctiveness and international status. This book is a comparative historical study of how the two "non-Western" great powers emerged as challengers to the prevailing international order in the interwar period, each seeking to establish an alternative order. Specifically, Anno examines the parallels and contrasts in the ways in which the Russian and Japanese elites sought to define the two countries’ national identities, and how those definitions influenced the two countries’ attitudes toward the prevailing order. At the intersection of international relations theory, comparative politics, and of historical sociology, this book offers an integrated perspective on the rise of challengers to the liberal international order in the early-twentieth century.
