Using cultural nationalism as a tool for understanding Slavophile thinking, she argues that a Russian national identity was not shaped in opposition to Europe in order to separate Russia from the West. Rather, it originated as an attempt to counter the feeling of cultural backwardness among Russian intellectuals by making it possible for Russian culture to assume a leading role in the universal progress of humanity. This reinterpretation of Slavophile ideas about the Russian nation offers a more complex image of the role of Europe and the West in shaping a Russian national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanna Rabow-Edling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791466949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791466940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.23w x 0.46d","brand":"Susanna Rabow-Edling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443688026367,"sku":"9780791466940","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc316b7c-702f-4ede-865c-241ab7d6b8b7.jpg?v=1777207146","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slavophile-thought-and-the-politics-susanna-rabow-edling-9780791466940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
