Between Europe and Asia analyzes the origins and development of
Eurasianism, an intellectual movement that proclaimed the existence
of Eurasia, a separate civilization coinciding with the former
Russian Empire. The essays in the volume explore the historical
roots, the heyday of the movement in the 1920s, and the afterlife
of the movement in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. The first
study to offer a multifaceted account of Eurasianism in the
twentieth century and to touch on the movement's intellectual
entanglements with history, politics, literature, or geography,
this book also explores Eurasianism's influences beyond Russia. The
Eurasianists blended their search for a primordial essence of
Russian culture with radicalism of Europe's interwar period. In
reaction to the devastation and dislocation of the wars and
revolutions, they celebrated the Orthodox Church and the Asian
connections of Russian culture, while rejecting Western
individualism and democracy. The movement sought to articulate a
non-European, non-Western modernity, and to underscore Russia's
role in the colonial world. As the authors demonstrate, Eurasianism
was akin to many fascist movements in interwar Europe, and became
one of the sources of the rhetoric of nationalist mobilization in
Vladimir Putin's Russia. This book presents the rich history of the
concept of Eurasianism, and how it developed over time to achieve
its present form.
