Abstract

Emphasizing the Russian people’s capacity for the highest forms of spiritual experience, and the universality and universalism of Russian culture, the philosopher N.O. Lossky, who was exiled from Russia in 1922, concluded that the “great Russian nation” had deep spiritual roots. The scholar substantiated the idea of the historical unity of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, contrasting it with the practice of cultural and political separatism. Owing to common historical work, the three branches of the Russian nation, according to Lossky, created “a great power with a world culture”. Considering the nation from the standpoint of the philosophy of personalism as a “personality of the highest order”, N.O. Lossky argued for the indivisibility of the Russian cultural and historical tradition.
