The Eurasianists were alone in their neutral attitude towards the revolution, which they saw as a half-finished \u2018Eurasian revolution\u2019 against the West.

There was no contradiction in celebrating both Mongol heritage and the Orthodox Church as unique essences of Russian civilization: Bolshevism, like the Golden Horde, was a purge which foreclosed a Western future for Russia and established a separate civilization.<\/p>\n
