Russian conservatism is making a forceful return after a century of
experimenting with socialism and liberalism. Conservatism is about
managing change by ensuring that modernization evolves organically
by building on the past. Conservatism has a natural attraction for
Russia as its thousand-year long history is largely characterized
by revolutionary change - the destructive process of uprooting the
past to give way to modernity. Navigating towards gradual and
organic modernization has been a key struggle ever since the
Mongols invaded in the early 13th century and decoupled Russia from
Europe and the arteries of international trade. Russian history has
consisted of avoiding revolutions that are either caused by falling
behind on modernization or making great leaps forward that disrupts
socio-economic and political traditions. Russian conservatives are
now tasked with harmonizing the conservative ideas of the 19th
century with the revolutionary changes that shaped Russia in the
20th century. The rise of Asia now provides new opportunities as it
enables Russia to overcome its fixation on the West and develop a
unique Russian path towards modernization that harmonizes its
Eurasian geography and history.
