The new research programs in international relations regard civilizations as discursive constructs and focus on the ways of institutionalization of political imaginaries. Sociological civilizational analysis devotes considerable attention to the historical legacies of civilizations and empires.The paper stresses the need to reconsider civilizational aspects of Russian politics.Àâòîðû:
