Description
Book SynopsisIn this first English language history of the Eurasianist movement based on extensive archival research, Sergey Glebov offers a historically grounded critique of the concept of Eurasia by interrogating the context in which it was first used to describe the former Russian Empire.
Trade Review"This book is a long-awaited culmination of several years of articles and, most recently, a Russian-language collection of annotated documents on the history of one of the most fascinating intellectual movements to emerge from the Russian post-revolutionary emigration. The tragic conclusion to Glebov's story reads like a genuine tale of espionage." --Mark von Hagen, coeditor of The Empire and Nationalism at War "There could be no better time to publish a book on Eurasianism--a proto-fascist ideology elaborated by Russian emigres of the 1920s--since today's Russia has seen a surge in the popularity of nationalist, illiberal, and even totalitarian ideas, sometimes loosely identified with Eurasianism. Glebov's book stands out as a major contribution to the field. He offers the most comprehensive and systematic analysis of Eurasianism, and he undertakes it from a new perspective, spanning a wide spectrum of Eurasianist ideas and representing their ideology as a dynamic interrelation of concurrent positions and temporary allegiances shifting over time." --Olga Maiorova, University of Michigan
