One of the best books of 2016 according to the version of "The Economist"
Charles Clover for more than five years was the chief of the Moscow Bureau of Financial Times. In his book, he traces the roots of new Russian nationalism based on the ideas of "Eurasianism". The Eurasian theory was first formulated in the works of white emigrants in the 1920s, then Lev Gumilyov developed it, and then, having gone through the experience of the "mystical underground", the Eurasian version of imperial nationalism ("Continent Russia") gained a new embodiment in geopolitics Alexander Dugin. Charles Clover analyzes the causes and consequences of the rapid rise in new nationalism, which is more likely in an idealized past than in a real future. Clover’s restrained position allows him to listen and reliably convey the points of view of the interlocutors: as an honest journalist, he avoids assessments and imposition of his own judgment, the “plot” can be traced due to the comparison of facts and statements. In the ghostly semi -reality in which the policy of Russia is, where the fake is equated in truth, now and then events occur, which sometimes seem to all of us the end of the world. But if this is still not the end, then the book of Clover can become an indispensable guide on the way back from behind the ziperkalya.
The book that the reader holds in his hands combines a first -class, easily written and very well -translated into Russian historical study, exciting the most acute detective and the rarest in its kind of manual in a subject that is not taught either in schools or in universities . This subject would be called this: the art of seeing an amazing historical logic for a chaotic pile of diverse events.
From the seemingly endlessly far -fetched linguistic theories, biographical details, political fantasies, the author manages to bring the reader to understand not only someone else"s experience of forced resettlement and wars, prison conclusion and scientific disputes, but also sources of the most pressing political Debats of the post -Soviet era and today. As a low is born from a high, in the evil tunnel there is a clearance, how many entertaining mysteries are left from the old Soviet life in today"s world, all this is more interesting, without the slightest strangle, without a "theory of conspiracy" and esoteric nonsense.
Readers who are not interested in the history of ideas will be captured by the interweaving of the fate of the main characters - from emigrants and Lev Gumilyov to Alexander Dugin and political technologists of the Putin era. Readers who are not interested in the biographies of the main characters of the book will receive an intelligible outline of the history of Russia of the XX and XXI centuries.

A deep analysis of Eurasianism - ideas underlying the actions of modern Russia. The author is trying to understand how the national identity of the country was formed, as the ideas of ethnogenesis, geographical features and history led to the formation of new Russian nationalism.
The Economist
What does President Putin mean by Eurasianism? How was the Eurasian project formed? Charles Clover answers these questions, clarifying a complex and obscure ideological web that entangled modern Russia.
Financial Times
The panoramic story of the original ideas, which decades later turned into ideological metastases. Charles Clover"s book helps to understand that mishmash of the ideas of Leo Gumilyov, delusions and just lies, which the Erazi project represents.
StandPoint
The exciting story of how the vivid and extremely original ideas of Leo Gumilyov, banned in the USSR, today have become the basis of modern nationalism. Clover spent a lot of time in conversations with supporters of Eurasianism, from different varieties of nationalists, deeply immersed in their Wednesday, and his book is not just a speculative analysis, it is extremely convincing.
The Times
New Russian nationalism, nurtured by Alexander Dugin, is a complex and almost mysterious phenomenon. Charles Clover"s book sheds light on the origins of his ideas and his passionate prejudice against the West. It also gives a portrait of modern Russian reality to sharpness.
