Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article analyzes “traditional values” through the lens of history, philosophy, and political science in the context of the main social and political processes within Western modernity. From such a perspective, the notion of ‘traditional values’ comes as an important element of the liberal-conservative approach characteristic of Western modernity as opposed to the prevalent emancipatory approach. The history of relations between the West and Russia shows that Russia has traditionally acted as a “conservative balancer” in the system of international relations that developed in the 19th century. At the end of the 20th century, following the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, radical left-liberal elites gained the upper hand in the West. |
