East-West / Восток - Запад

 
Three main periods are revealed in the development of the concept of Russian Eurasianism. The current, post-Soviet stage is extraordinarily rich in theories and ideas based on the unity of Eurasia in its civilizational, cultural and religious diversity. People of various fields - philosophers and writers, public and party figures, historians and culturologists are involved in the development of the Eurasian idea. A rich reflection of Eurasianism has found - directly or indirectly - in literary works and journalism. One of the most difficult issues of Eurasian integration is the ways of coexistence of different religions in the context of the expected convergence of the eco¬nomic models of the continent.
