The mental space of Russia. Gluzman S.

Russian worldview, culture and politics are based on two sources - Western and Eastern mythology.

Western mythology is reflected in the ancient Roman myth of the “Eternal City”, which later became the ideological basis of European civilization. Eastern mythology is based on the biblical tradition and is realized in the myth of the Holy Book. In Russia, these two directions came together in a single stream, which led to the unique development of Russian history.

The book conducted the dynamics of the embodiment of eastern and Western mythology in Russian culture and state ideology that form the general mental space of Russia.
