The 20th century began with a deep identity crisis of European
parliamentarianism, pluralism, rationalism, individualism, and
liberalism and a following political revolt against the Wests
emerging open societies and their ideational foundation. In its
radicalism, this upheaval against Western values had far-reaching
consequences across the world, the repercussions of which can still
be felt today. Germany and Russia formed the center of this
insurrection against those ideas and approaches usually associated
with the West. Leonid Luks essays deal with the various causes and
results of these Russian and German anti-Western revolts for
20th-century Europe. The book also touches upon the development of
the peculiar post-Soviet Russian regime that, after the collapse of
the USSR, emerged on the ruins of the Bolshevik state that had been
established in 1917. What were the determinants of the erosion of
the second Russian democracy that was briefly established, after
the disempowerment of the CPSU in August 1991, until the rise of
Vladimir Putin? Further foci of this wide-ranging study include the
specific geopolitical trap in which Polandconstrained by its two
powerful neighborswas caught for centuries. Finally, Luks explores
the special relationship that all three countries of Central and
Eastern Europes fateful triangle had with Judaism and the Jews.
