The Return of the Empire. Paths of the Russian Idea in the Mirror of History

The return of the empire... Russian, Soviet, Kiev, the empire of Rurik and Alexander III, the connecting link between East and West. Can our country regain its former power and deserved respect? The author of the book, journalist and futurist Vladimir Mozhegov, believes that not only is it possible, but necessary. Imperial ambitions are critically important for Russia: it is a matter of survival in an increasingly hostile world. The goal of a true empire is not war, destruction, and chaos, but peace, creation, and harmony, as it is interested in its long-term existence. It is the empire's role to contribute to the suppression of conflicts and the strengthening of the economies of partner countries. However, to understand how to revive the empire to its former glory, it is necessary to study its history and the reasons for its temporary decline. The author invites the reader to remember the past of the great country - Russian princes, tsars, writers, key events of different eras - and to look into our common global future. And also to reflect on the words of V. Putin: "Why do we need a world without Russia?"
