Abstract

Andrei Tsygankov's article in International Affairs challenges the notion that Russia defies rational understanding, focusing on the dialectic of othering and Russia's entanglement with the West through western-style modernization. The text explores the incompatibility between Russian and Western conceptions of freedom, rooted in different historical contexts. Tsygankov outlines historical case studies of Christian, economic, and political westernizers in Russia, highlighting the tensions between state guidance and market freedom. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of inter-civilizational dialogue and national values in international relations. [Extracted from the article]
