While historical and political aspects of the Russo-German
relationship over the past three to four centuries have received
due attention from scholars, the range of the far more diverse,
important, and peculiar cultural relations still awaits full
assessment. This volume shows how enriching these cultural
influences were for both countries, affecting many spheres of
intellectual and daily life such as philosophy and religion,
education and ideology, sciences and their application, arts and
letters, custom and language. The German-Russian relationship has
always been particularly intense. Oscillating as it has between
infatuation and contempt, it has always been marked by a singular
paradox: a German cultural presence in Russia resulting either in a
more or less complete fusion, as in the case of Russifield German,
or in a pronounced mutual repulsion, accompanied by the denigration
of each other's culture as inferior. It is this curious paradox
that determines the perspectives of the articles that were
specially written for this volume, providing it with a unifying
focus.
