As he shows, conservatism has made an underappreciated contribution to Russian national identity, to the ideology of Russian statehood, and to Russia's social-economic development. Robinson charts the contributions made by philosophers, politicians, and others during the Imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods. Looking at cultural, political, and social-economic conservatism in Russia, he discusses ideas and issues of more than historical interest. Indeed, what Russian Conservatism demonstrates is that such ideas are helpful in interpreting Russia's present as well as its past and will be influential in shaping Russia's future, for better or for worse, in the years to come.For the past two centuries Russian conservatives have sought to adapt to the pressures of modernization and westernization and, more recently, globalization, while preserving national identity and political and social stability. Through Robinson's research we can now understand how Russian conservatives have continually proposed forms of cultural, political, and economic development seen as building on existing traditions, identity, forms of government, and economic and social life, rather than being imposed on the basis of abs tract theory and foreign models.NIU series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies.Political cultureSoviet UnionConservatismRussia (Federation)Political cultureRussia (Federation)Political cultureRussiaRussiaengeurovocUSSRengeurovocconservatismengeurovochistoryengeurovocpolitical cultureengeurovocConservatismRussiaConservatismSoviet UnionRussian history, contemporary Russian politics, political philosophy, intellectual history.Political cultureConservatismPolitical culturePolitical cultureRussiaUSSRconservatismhistorypolitical cultureConservatismConservatism320.52094728.08EP-CLASSRobinson Paul1966-1613981MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910828675103321Russian conservatism4120561UNINA
