“LEGACY OF GENGHIS KHAN” AS AN ASIAN FACTOR IN THE FORMATION OF THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL DOCTRINE OF EURASIANISM

Abstract

The article analyzes the works of representatives of classical Eurasianism. Particular attention is paidto the works of N.S. Trubetskoy, who was one of the first to define the importance of the Asian (Eastern)vector of the development of Russian statehood. The socio-economic and geopolitical substantiation ofthis vector was given by P.N. Savitsky. The manifestations of Asian influence in the idea of monarchy andits implementation in Russia were analyzed by N.N. Alekseev. Finally, G.V. Vernadsky formulated the ideaof a synthesis of Eastern Orthodoxy of Byzantium and the state organization of the Mongol Empire in thefoundation of the Russian state. The Asian factor is formed from the idea-principle, which is the unificationof the inner part of Eurasia, as well as from the mechanism for implementing this idea, based on thesystem of the structure of the great Mongol empire of Genghis Khan. In the political and legal views of the representatives of Eurasianism, this factor can be called the “Legacy of Genghis Khan”. This article is devotedto the influence of this heritage on Russian history, as well as on the formation of the doctrine of Eurasianismand its isolation among other areas of Russian thought.
