| Summary |
This book examines the latest thinking regarding Russia's present position and its anticipated future by leading Russian philosophers, political scientists, economists, and cultural figures, to whom the author refers as "visionaries." These thinkers position Russia as a global protector of fairness and a safeguard against any single nation's world hegemony. Despite Russians' abiding tendency to underestimate and undervalue their achievements, they are increasingly coming to realize that Russia's historical record is, on the whole, outstanding. The book's 17 chapters, including many original translations of spoken discussions, argue that Russia has all the prerequisites for, and is, in fact, already well on the way toward, becoming a global Noah's Ark of Western civilization |
