European Choice of Russian Civilization: The Imperatives of 2023

Abstract
For a long time, Russia has seen itself as a significant, specific part of European civilization. This was refused to Russia at the turn of 2008–2009. Further development took place in the context of regionalization, a systemic world crisis and an increase in contradictions between Russia and Europe. As a result, today Russia is ready to recognize its historical relationship with Europe, without any systemic obligations on this basis.
Thus, firstly, it was not Russia that left Europe, but Russia that decided to “exclude” from Europe. Secondly, for us, Shakespeare, who is forgotten in Britain, and Remarque, who was forgotten in Germany, will remain part of our identity. The lack of culture of “cancellation” has become a symbol of modern Europe, but for us this is a path to nowhere. Last. Russian civilization is larger and more complex than European: it is Eurasian civilization.
