Three Russian "Glocalist" Intellectuals in Europe

The book is intended for scholars and Eastern Europe lovers. The general purpose of the collection is to examine the relevant connections between three different Russian intellectuals border thinkers active in the European political life during the first part of the last century: Vladimir Zabughin, Aleksandr Kojève and Jean Gottmann from a Glocalist methodological perspective. The philologist Zabughin, the philosopher Kojève and the geographer Gottmann are representatives of an imperial Russian intellectualism who escaped from the motherland. They had all the opportunity to contribute to what is called the emigr'kult (the Culture of Emigration). From 1905, and even more so from 1917, the White Russia (Belaja Rossija) represented a multifaceted phenomenon of opposition to Bolshevism outside the borders of the motherland. Their common belief was a Glocalist perspective, something corresponding to an ideal of communities within virtual ideological, economic, theological, or spiritual intra- or trans-territorial. Glocalism interprets reality through the connection between major geopolitical scenarios and the trajectories of national or community subjects that have redrawn borders, identities, and models of power.
