Reformulating Russia: The Cultural and Intellectual Historiography of Russian First-Wave Émigré Writers
Kåre Johan Mjør
Georgii Fedotovs Saints of Ancient Russia, Georgii Florovskiis The Ways of Russian Theology, Nikolai Berdiaevs The Russian Idea and Vasilii Zenkovskiis History of Russian Philosophythese are among the most well-known and widely-read historical studies of Russian thought and culture. Having left their homeland after the Bolshevik Revolution, these four authors aimed to present their readers with a common past and thus with a common identity, and their historical works emerged out of the need for reorientation in a post-revolutionary, ?©migr?© situation. At the same time, they were to elaborate highly contrasting versions of the Russian past. By means of in-depth narrative and contextual analyses, Reformulating Russia provides a detailed examination of the visions of Russia contained in these four works.
