This book recounts the entangled stories of three distinctly
Russian movements-state ideology, Russian cosmism, and
Eurasianism-from their inception at the end of the nineteenth
century and beginning of the twentieth century until now. Despite
harboring pseudoscientific and mystical ideas specific to Russia,
all three movements were propagated by their followers as
"universal sciences," and all three vied for scientific supremacy
and universal acceptance. Suppressed by the Bolsheviks and their
state ideology as "unscientific" in the 1920s, Russian cosmism and
Eurasianism led an esoteric underground existence during the Soviet
period and re-emerged in the dying years of the Soviet Union,
seeking not only to reclaim their "scientific" status but also to
potentially fill the perplexing vacuum left by the ensuing demise
of Soviet state ideology. This study relates the post-Soviet search
for a new state ideology, or new National Idea, at the federal and
regional levels, based on the Kremlin's projects and the case of
the ethnic Republic of Kalmykia in south-west Russia.
