L. N. GUMILYOV’S CREATIVE HERITAGE AND CLASSICAL EURASIANISM
The article analyses an original trend of the Russian émigré thought of the 1920-1930s - classical Eurasianism - and traces transformation of the Eurasian ideas in L. N. Gumilyov’s philosophy. The paper reveals the content of the classical Eurasian conceptions, such as Russia-Eurasia, developmental place, Euro-centricity, a symphonic personality. The researcher traces development of these conceptions in L. N. Gumilyov’s doctrine. It is shown that L. N. Gumilyov supplemented classical Eurasianism with the conception “passionarity”. The researcher concludes that L. N. Gumilyov’s doctrine emphasizes the natural scientific rather than philosophical approach.
