Nikolai Trubetskoy – Russia’s Sequential Critic Of Eurocentrism

Leond Savin- Without doubt, Trubetskoy primarily spoke about Russia-Eurasia, about the distinctive culture of Russian civilization.

April 16 marks the 135th anniversary of the birth of Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Trubetskoy, an outstanding linguist and scientist, one of the founders of Eurasianism. He went down in history as one of the pioneers of criticism of Eurocentrism. Although Slavophiles had done something similar before him in their dispute with Westerners, Trubetskoy’s (and the Eurasians’) criticism was deeper and was supported by a positive agenda that affirmed the need for joint nation-building with the Turanian (Turks, Ugro-Finns) peoples based on a common history and closeness of worldviews.
