Russian civilization

Russian civilization involves civilization formed by Russians,[1] the main civilization of multi-civilizational Russia.[2] The literature often suggests that the Russian soul is significant in Russian civilization.[3] Russian civilization has connections with Russian philosophy, ideas of Slavophilia and the paganism of Pan-Slavism, Finno-Ugrian people and Turkic peoples. The Eastern Orthodox Church is a fundamental factor in Russian civilization. Therefore the peoples and cultures of Eurasia played in many phases a role in the formation of Russian civilization. In many phases the peoples of Russia developed independently from Europe and Asia because many regions of Russian lands were unknown to them.[4] The core of Russian identity was shaped by Slavic, Tatar, Finno-Ugrian, Viking and steppe people over more than 1000 years.

Definition

Russian civilization can be defined differently:

Toynbee regarded Russian civilization as having modest cultural achievements, but as something complete, Danilevsky and Spengler described it more as a phenomenon of the future,[8] the latter believed that government reform of Peter the Great did not meet the traditions of Russian civilization.[9]

Plekhanov and Berdyaev believed that Russian civilization occupies a border position between East and West. Solovyov believed that the mission of Russian civilization in the unification of East and West, and the Eurasians consider it as some third force.[10]

Some consider communism alien to traditional Russian values, others believe that the USSR was an incarnation of traditional Russian civilization.[1][11] Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality is similar to communist partijnost` (patry-mindedness), idejnost` (ideology-mindedness) and populism.[12]
