Synopsis

The author views Eurasianism as a creation of the Russian political emigration of the post-revolutionary era. According to Mytsiuk, Eurasians sought to create an ideology that: 1) would explain the fundamental difference between Russia and Europe; 2) could be countered to communism; and 3) would be acceptable to the Russian people.
Eurasians view the Russia-Asia space as a geographical entity, contrasting themselves with Europe and the "Romano-Germanic world". According to Mytsiuk, Eurasians ground their ideology in the personality, not the individual, but the collective Eurasian personality. In this sense, Eurasianism is an attempt to restore the understanding of "narodnost" in the sense of the dominance of the narodnost of the Muscovite state.
In addition, Mytsiuk notes that Eurasians take the Russian Orthodox faith and church as the basis of their ideology: state-centralist, aristocratic, hierarchical-bureaucratic, lordly-bureaucratic, and materially expensive.
