Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of Vladimir Solovyov's historiosophical views on the role of Russia in the world historical process. The author analyzes the role of V. Solovyov's existential experience having had an important influence on his philosophical research and led to the emergence of a unique thinker's view of the historical mission of Russia. The article examines the internal contradictions of his historiosophy, which the author associates with the philosophical and prophetic duality of V. Solovyov's personality and his desire to combine a rational understanding of history and a religious worldview. The mosaic and multilayered worldview of V. Solovyov is emphasized, where metaphysical and religious ideas are closely intertwined, creating a single concept of the future. Special attention is paid to the metaphysical category of the other Absolute and the idea of self-denial, which are key to understanding the logic of V. Solovyov's historiosophy. It is emphasized that despite his disappointment in Russian society in the last years of his life, Vladimir Solovyov's faith in the spiritual potential of Russia and its world mission remained unchanged. The final conclusion is made that V. Solovyov's historiosophy is a deep reflection of his personal and spiritual searches. The inconsistency of his views, manifested in attempts to reconcile the religious and the rational, makes his historiosophy especially relevant for modern discussions about the role of Russia in world history. The legacy of V. Solovyov offers a unique perspective for understanding national and religious identity, calling for the rejection of national egoism in favor of the common good and a multi-layered understanding of the historical process.
