On problems of concretization and meaning the nation “Russian idea” (an outhine of the issue)
Keywords:
Russian soul, Russian idea, BerdyaevAbstract
This article is devoted to analysis of the notion “Russian idea” and to attempt of the sublation of it from such notions, as “Russian soul” or “Russian character”. The author is taking the
attempt to explain the historical context of the coming into existence of dates “Russian soul” and “Russian idea”, introduced by Nikolai Berdyaev at the beginning of the 20th century. Next she proceeds to analysis of what Berdyaev understood by these terms. This way she comments on such characteristics of Russians as tendency to the extreme, lack of the social initiative and internal contradictions. All this — according to the author’s theory — Berdyaev is extracting from the history of coming into existence of the Russian statehood, from lack of knighthoods in the formulation of social awareness, and from boundless Russian expanses which from one side are calling the avocation for the unrestricted freedom, but from the other side are also creating a lot of obstacles at every attempt to control them. All these features and circumstances are smoothly alternating with Eurasianism of Russians.
