Passing on a comprehensive analysis such concepts as imperial, religious prophecies and nationalism in literature, Judith Calb turns to the topic of the self -identification of Russia with Rome from 1890 to 1940.
Exploring the texts of six writers - D. Merezhkovsky, V. Bryusov, A. Blok, Vyach. Ivanova, M. Bulgakov and M. Kuzmin - the author claims that the myth of Russian (Scythian) Rome not only survived the collapse of the empire and the emergence of a new state, but was revived with the aim of creating a new national identity.
Using the versatility of symbolism and the rhetoric associated with Rome, the Russian authors of the modernists tried to integrate the national history of Russia into the archetypal Western narrative and at the same time approve the significance of the role of the Eastern partner, which is often neglected
