Russia and the West: Politics, history, culture
In: Međunarodni problemi: International problems, Band 57, Heft 3, S. 284-318
Abstract
The author firstly examines cultural and historical potentials of Russia, analysing them in their positive and negative aspects. Western ability to fully confront contemporary problems is then challenged through a brief account of the cultural crisis in its society in order to establish, through an analysis of the specific reception of that crisis in Russia, whether it can offer new, fresh and/or different solutions to global problems. Finally, basic Russian cultural and political values are depicted through the history of their actions globally and the power and significance of those values is defended as exceptionally fruitful for appliance to the contemporary socio-political situation, as to the challenges that lay before the global society in the future.
