Константин Костюк, "Русский мир": Богословский смысл и политические экспликации // Вестник православного Свято-Тихоновского гуманитарного университета. Серия 1: Богословие. Философия. 2015. №3 (59).

В статье рассматриваются религиозные источники и богословское содержание понятия «русский мир», послужившего одной из ведущих идеологем в возникновении конфликта на Юго-Восточной Украине в 2014 г. Показывается, что в понятии «русский мир» происходит апелляция к исконному эсхатологическому православному пониманию мира как мира воцерковленного, мира Святой Руси. Основное внимание в статье обращено на то, что именно православию свойственна способность самостоятельно конституировать пространственно-временные параметры «истинного» мира, не совпадающего и игнорирующего реалии мира сего. Вместе с тем возникающее при этом отождествление представления об истине с ролью хранителя истины способно привести к далеким и зачастую неблагожелательным политическим следствиям.

Eurasianism, understood as an intellectual or ideological doctrine, is notoriously difficult to characterize, given its conceptual plasticity and its changing inflection through its many historical and geographical variations. With this complexity in mind, “The Politics of Eurasianism” seeks to provide a general theme for a workshop devoted to an comprehensive discussion of the manifold manifestations of Eurasian concepts in the politics and political cultures of Russia, post-Soviet space, and beyond. This event seeks to map the presence and role of tropes and narratives directly related to (or reminiscent of) Eurasianist thinking.
