Abstract

«We started a war, self­satisfied » : the mythology of a war in Vasily Rozanov’s publicism. The perception of World War I in Vasily Rozanov’s works («The War of 1914 and Russian Renaissance », Petrograd, 1915 ; «In the Fumes of War », Petrograd, Moscow, 1916 ; «The Apocalypse of Our Time », Sergiev Posad, 1917­1918) is considered in the context of articles by Konstantin Leontyev, Nikolai Berdyaev and Mikhail Prishvin’s diary, as well as in the historical and cultural context of the World War I (Cossack Kozma Kryuchkov, publicist Mikhail Menshikov, singer Maria Dolina­Gorlenko). The Slavophile ideology (the myth of Holy Russia) is revealed in Rozanov’s discourse about the war, which became the basis of state propaganda.
