Summary
The project involves conducting fieldwork in two archives, based in USA, in order to collect materials for a book on the geopolitical views of the Russian emigrants in the interwar period. In exile, these political thinkers produced a number of geopolitical concepts, such as "Eurasia", "Holy Russia" and "Russian civilization", which have now become central for the regime ideology in Russia.
