metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article distinguishes the main ways of thematization of Islam in Russian intellectual
  culture: Islam as a civilizational opponent, as inferior to Christianity as a
  revealed religion, as a potential Christianity, and others. These opinions differ from
  the Tolstoy’s as he understood Islam as a full-fledged tradition that has some religious
  truths common to Christianity and that distorts them throughout the course
  of history in its own way. The special relevance of Tolstoy’s conception of spiritual
  and ethical nature of religion for rethinking Muslims’ places in the Russian “cultural
  canon” is noted. The author observes the particular internal similarities between
  Tolstoy’s philosophy and Islam that make them close. Both the outright “Islamization”
  of Tolstoy’s teachings and the attempts to separate his ideas from Islamic
  context are criticized. The “cognation” between some of Tolstoy’s central ideas,
  stemming from his contemplation of Christian legacy, and the ideas embedded in
  Islamic tradition may facilitate more successful “convergence” of Muslim identity
  and Russian identity (“prototypically” Christian). In conclusion, the author justifies
  the necessity of appealing to the thought of “non-Islamic” thinkers in Russian
  culture for overcoming of the stereotypical images of Muslims in Russian “cultural
  canon” to be effective.
