The present article amounts to an attempt to analyze the Byzantine tradition in the work Byzantinism and the Slavs by Konstantin Leontiev. The thinker finds the heritage of Eastern Christianity an immanent part of the Russian national identity. Moreover, the philosopher defines Byzantinism as a type of culture with centralized power in the hands of the Romanovs. Consequently, Leontiev depicts particular stages of the evolution of this power model in Russia. The author of the paper concludes that the thinker’s considerations are centered on the emphasis on the role of monarchy in contemporary Russia rather than on its Byzantine roots.

Konstantin Leontiev presented his religious views in a programmatic opposition to the so-called pink Christianity, found in the works and statements of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Lev Tolstoy. Due to the central position of both his adversaries in the Russian literary, intellectual and cultural tradition, Leontiev’s dispute with them can be regarded as a polemic of a writer with a broadly understood communal tradition – not only with the Russian one, because in Dostoyevsky’s and Tolstoy’s thought Leontiev recognised symptomatic manifestations of much more general religious, cultural and social tendencies of his time. By unmasking the one-sidedness of the interpretation of Christianity that he criticised, he intended to restore the fullness of the Christian Truth. The huge heuristic potential of Leontiev’s perspective notwithstanding, it may be noticed that, in a sense, he himself became one of the victims of the “pink Christianity” which he combated – to the extent that he countered one interpretative one-sidedness with just another.

Константин Леонтьев представил свои религиозные взгляды в программной оппозиции к т. н. розовому христианству, обнаруживающемуся в творчестве и высказываниях Федора Достоевского и Льва Толстого. В связи с тем, что оба оппонента Леонтьева занимают в русской литературной и интеллектуально-культурной традиции центральное место, его полемика с ними может рассматриваться как полемика автора с широко понимаемой коллективной традицией – не только русской, ибо Леонтьев видел в их мысли симптоматичные проявления гораздо более общей религиозно-культурно-общественной тенденции своего времени. Разоблачая односторонность критикуемого изложения христианства, он намеревался восстановить полноту христианской Правды. Несмотря на большой эвристический потенциал мыслительной перспективы Леонтьева, приходится отметить, что в определенном смысле он сам стал одной из жертв «розового христианства», с которым боролся, – в той степени, в которой одной интерпретационной односторонности была противопоставлена другая.
