Russias Rome: Imperial Visions, Messianic Dreams, 1890–1940 explores how Russia saw itself as the "Third Rome" during a period of revolution and Soviet state formation, using literature to analyze the myth's resurrection and its impact on Russian national identity.
Format: Hardback
Length: 370 pages
Publication date: 05 April 2022
Publisher: Academic Studies Press
A comprehensive exploration of empire, religious prophecy, and nationalism in literature, Russia's Rome: Imperial Visions, Messianic Dreams, 1890–1940 offers the first examination of Russia's self-identification with Rome during a period that encompassed the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and the rise of the Soviet state. Analyzing Rome-related texts by Dmitrii Merezhkovskii, Valerii Briusov, Aleksandr Blok, Viacheslav Ivanov, Mikhail Kuzmin, and Mikhail Bulgakov, Judith Kalb argues that the myth of Russia as the "Third Rome" was resurrected to create an enduring Rome-based discourse of Russian national identity. Russia's Rome fills a gap in both Russian studies and scholarship on the classical tradition, providing valuable material for scholars of Russian culture and history, classicists, and readers interested in the classical heritage.
