Traditionally this epoch is interpreted as the time of the great narratives' clash between slavyanophiles and pro-westerners. But in fact we deal with more specific epistemological split between universalists and anti-universalist. This duality of the philosophical and educational thought is illustrated by the textes of two great opposites of trhe time - Belinsky and Kireevsky. Anti-western mode of thinking didn't prevent philosopers from pro-universalism attraction. And, contrarily, pro-westernt orientation of other philosophers didn't guarantee them to overcome educational and enlightenmental romantism with its vivid antieuropenianism.
