Walter Shubart proclaims the salvation of Europe by Russia and the birth of the Western-East World Culture. " Shubart"s book is an exciting essay on the national characters of the leading peoples of the world. Although the main thing for the author is the future transformation of mankind and the saving mission of the "healing Russian soul".
"The Englishman looks at the world as a factory, the Frenchman - as a salon, the German - like a barracks, Russian - like a temple.
The Englishman longs for prey, Frenchman - glory, German - power, Russian - victims.
The Englishman is expecting from neighboring benefits, a Frenchman of sympathy, a German wants to command them. And only Russian does not want anything. " Walter Shubart. "Europe and the soul of the East."
Russian emigrant philosopher Ivan Ilyin wrote: "... Shubart’s book is strikingly different from that Western journalism where Russians appear as masochistic panties, pronouncedly waiting for a shameful punishment." Ilyin believed that in the person of Shubart "we first see" a Western European who kindly “opened our eyes at us”, lonely sitting at the threshold. Yes, yes, at the threshold, for they are not allowed to the hearth of us wanderers.
The book "Europe and the Soul of the East" (1938) was included in the German Nazis in the list of "undesirable and harmful literature"
