Rise of the East. Russian Perspectives of the World History

Abstract

Spengler predicted “Decline of the Western world” itself, but not its results: he expected a long (200–300 years) process of cultural transformation of mankind. But today the Western solipsistic and nihilistic civilization with frightening speed becomes a suicidal civilization, capable of blowing up the approaching post-Western future according to the principle “if I can’t have you, nobody can!” Russia must and can become the nucleus of this post-Western future crystallization – a harmonious, multipolar future based on the sense of truth (Pravda) in which all its sovereign creators (Russia, and possibly China, Latin America, India and all reasonable humanity) will save our planet from the man-made collapse.
