The relations of Russia and France have never been serene.
The opinion of the French about Russia - Muscovy - Russia began to form, starting from the 15th century based on travel notes, essays and stories of travelers. In many ways, the impressions of foreigners created a stable controversial, more often negative image of Russia. Only at the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century. The vector of Russian-French relations began to change under the influence of cultural contacts. Reading France discovered the work of I. Turgenev, L. Tolstoy, F. Dostoevsky, A. Chekhov. And with the beginning of the "Russian seasons", Sergei Diaghilev, the French first spoke about the Russian art of ballet.
It is difficult to overestimate the contribution of Russian emigrants of the first and second waves of emigration (writers, artists, musicians) into French culture. The performances of Russian philosophers gathered a wide audience of French intellectuals. They together discussed the topical and now topics - nationalism and fascism, war and peace, politics and Christian morality. Russian thought has become a significant component of the cultural life of France.
A book about the complex process of formation over the course of four centuries of relations between Russia and France once again confirms the thesis that it is the culture, regardless of the circumstances of the political or economic nature, becomes the basis for maintaining sustainable connections between states and people
