| Summary / Abstract (Note) | RUSSIA in general and its social thinkers in particular began to take interest in Europe during the reforms of Peter the Great. This interest was very much alive during the subsequent string of female reigns, the years when the imperial throne was occupied by Anna Ioannovna, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine the Great. It was a period of rapid Europeanization of the country's ruling strata. The most significant 18th-and 19th-century works of Russian literature raising the Europe theme are Letters of a Russian Traveler by Nikolay Karamzin (he wrote it in 1791-1792, when he was still young), some chapters in Alexander Herzen'sMy Past and Thoughts (1855-1868), and, of course, Russia and Europe by Nikolay Danilevsky (1869). After that, books on this theme multiplied and ran into dozens, and from the turn of the century onward into hundreds. |
