• Resumen

  • The Eurasian movement arose among a group of Russian emigre intellectuals after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Its premise that Russia was part neither of Europe nor of Asia but a world unto itself, Eurasia, led to new ideas about Russian history, geography, economics, religion, linguistics and society. The contributors to the anthology Between Europe & Asia: The Origins, Theories and Legacies of Russian Eurasianism sometimes disagree about the relative influence of pan-European and Russian intellectual history on Eurasianism, about the significance of the Russian Revolution and exile on its emergence, about its originality, and about its influence on Neo-Eurasian thinkers, but agree that Eurasian theories remain fascinating and still repay further study.
