The Prophecy of N. Y. Danilevsky

Abstract

Nikolai Yakovlevich Danilevsky is the founder of culturological theory, which allowed him to scientifically reveal the cultural and historical nature of Europe's hostile attitude towards Russia, caused, on the one hand, by the differences in the character of the Slavic-Russian and Romano-Germanic peoples, which make up the original cultural and historical properties, on the other hand, the

Historical cyclical development of peoples, when Europe has passed the peak of its heyday, and in Russia it is still ahead.

The relevance of his views in the 21st century is increased by the extent to which his views on the confrontation between Europe and Russia come true.
