In this 1961 treatise, Dmytro Dontsov dissects the historical and ideological essence of the Russian state.
Continuity of Imperialism: Dontsov traces the evolution of Russian messianism, claiming that Bolshevism was merely a modern mask for the centuries-old Muscovite drive for global dominance.
East vs. West: The author frames the conflict as a fundamental clash of civilizations. He portrays Russia as a destructive force aimed at dismantling the Christian and humanist foundations of Europe.
Geopolitical Prophecy: Written during the Cold War, the book remains a chillingly relevant critique of why Russia’s imperial ambitions cannot be satisfied through diplomacy alone.
