This article examines the concept of Russia as presented in the historiosophy of the Polish thinker Feliks Koneczny. He argues that Russia represents the Turan civilization, which is the lowest of all civilizations. Its characteristic features include treating the leader as a “half-god” whose whims replace the law, and focusing the community’s life on wars and conquests. The scholar refers to numerous events in Russia’s history which, in his view, support this claim. This article looks critically at Koneczny’s theory, pointing out the omission of culture in his research. It also makes reference to Samuel Huntington’s work and argues that Russia’s belonging to the Orthodox Civilization makes it a barrier to barbarity.
