metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In the 1980s, Historical Sociology and Philosophy turned to the subject of Empire, based on
  new premises. The Empire is no longer understood by many researchers as a vestige of the political
  reality of the past. They began to interpret it as a mechanism for transforming chaos into
  order, connecting the civilizational periphery to the ‘future’, which is controlled by the center
  of civilization. The metaphor of the ‘eternal return’ became a popular way of describing the
  phenomenon of Empire. At the same time, this interpretation of Empire somewhat simplifies
  this phenomenon, adjusting it to the realities of the modern world with its globalist tendencies
  and centers of power (the U.S.A., the European Union), which provide these tendencies.
  At the same time, the idea of the nation-state has become an instrument for destruction of
  empires of a different, non-modern type, in order to integrate them into the order of the global
  future. Long before the realities of the European Union, K. Leontiev predicted that nationalism
  would become a prologue to the homogenization of human beings and their culture. Contrary
  to the ‘arithmetic equality’ of Western civilization, states of the ‘old’, pre-colonial imperial
  type, one of which Russia used to be and remains, in a sense, can offer a much more diverse
  landscape with a significant number of, in modern terms, ‘ecological niches’ for securing cultural
  identity. In Russian philosophy, the concept of an imperial-type state was the subject of
  very fruitful research, and this happened much earlier than the contemporary ‘imperial turn’
  in Political Philosophy and Historical Sociology. The ideas of K. Leontiev convincingly demonstrate
  this. We believe that the most instructive are K. Leontiev’s ideas about the national
  state, as well as predictions of its future.
