In any dictionary or encyclopedia, you can read that patriotism is a love for the homeland. However, the simplicity and clarity of such definitions is deceiving, since the ideas about the Motherland themselves changed from era to era. Moreover, representatives of different political forces, wishing the benefits of their Fatherland, sometimes expressed directly opposite ideas.
With what words did the ancient Greeks and Romans express their love for their homeland, the inhabitants of the Renaissance Florence and medieval Rus", until the term "patriotism" usual in the 18th century has now appeared? Why, right until the beginning of the 19th century, the language of patriotism often served as the weapon of opposition and revolutionaries, and then they firmly mastered the conservative-monarchical forces? How did the attitude to the patriotism of the left and socialist parties change throughout the 19th-XX centuries? Is it possible to separate modern patriotism from nationalism and who at the end of the 20th century came up with the idea of "constitutional patriotism"?
These and many other questions are answered in the book "Patriotism, or Smoke of the Fatherland" Professor of the European University in St. Petersburg, Mikhail Crom
