Neo-Eurasianism

*** Shopping-Tip: Neo-Eurasianism
'''Neo-Eurasianism''' is a Russian school of thought, developed by Lev Gumilev, that thinks of Russia as culturally and ethnically closer to Central Asia than to Western Europe. Compare to this the ''Byzantism'' of Konstantin Leontyev's, which is similar in its rejection of the West, but which identifies with the Byzantine Empire rather than with Central Asian tribal culture. Neo-Eurasianism has aspects of national mysticism, and emphasizes the opposition of a united Eurasia against the transatlantic Western world West. Vladimir Putin in 2004 said of the ideas of Gumilev that they "are beginning to move the masses."
