Abstract
The article studies the inner world of the professional armies of the XVII-XVIII centuries. The focus is on desertion as inherent “evil”, a negative feature of the army corporate community. At the same time, it is viewed as a part of the cultural and civilizational continuum, which reflects class morality and national mentality, spiritual priorities and behavioral stereotypes, folk traditions and customs. Through the phenomenon of desertion, the author compares the cultural and mental imagery of the Russian world and the European society in the period of late feudalism.
