The first and most important statement is that Russia is an independent, original civilization. This statement is the axis around which there should be constructed any (absolutely everything, and not just Eurasian) conservative thought. What does it give us? First, we understand that the world is not global, not united, not homogeneous. The world consists of many civilizations, each of which is not reducible to each other. That is, Chinese, Indian, European, American, Russian – all these civilizations are equal.

Shekhovtsov vs. Dugin: an academic raid

Shekhovtsov v. Dugin: an academic raid
25.10.2022

Even the mind of a brilliant scientist can be subject to strange aberrations. However, because “also”, it is possible for scientists in the first place to risk getting bogged down in all kinds of academic pseudoscientific conventions that can make even good material seem far-fetched, bizarre and simply propagandistic by the standards of their colleagues. For example, we know that Aleksandr Dugin has many critics, and that's fine: criticism is a pretty sacred thing, but Dugin has even more followers, and the saddest thing is to find them in that very conventional “academic” environment. Okay, fine, when the label of “fascism” itself is tempted to be tacked on to Dugin by the untalented and uneducated Andrew “Herald of the Storm” Rudoy, who recently released an hour-long video on the subject without a single substantive argument or thesis; but when something even remotely similar happens in the scholarly world, it already deserves some critical interest.

Alexey Beliayev-Guintovt: "The empire in spite of everything". How Eurasianism is changing the world

24.04.2022

We publish, at the request of Zavtra's friends, the interview by Olga Andreeva with the Russian artist Alexey Guintovt, representative of the New Seriousness school, born in the early nineties on the banks of the Neva River. His powerful imagery, in the Muscovite manner, paradoxically combines the traditions of Russian Orthodox icon painting with the trends of the Russian Avant-garde and Constructivism, the totalitarian classicism of the great Soviet style with the formal "artificiality" of American Pop-Art. The works of Guintovt, already Kandinsky Prize several times, are exhibited in the largest museums around the world.
