The ideas of Westernisation and traditionalism have established a direct link with the Eurasianist intellectual movement that shaped the Russian intellectual life in the 19th century. The Westernisation movement started to have a significant impact in Russia during the reign of Peter. The reform movements and Westernisation, which took place in the society from top to bottom, paved the way for the emergence of two main tendencies that can be described as reactionary in the field of ideas. Those who called themselves Westernists criticised Moscow, claiming that it had not Westernised quickly and sufficiently. Slavophile intellectuals, who defended traditionalism as a stance against the Westernisation of Russia, opposed the Westernists in the same vein. Although both traditionalist and Westernist movements were not homogeneous, they put the West at the centre of Russian identity construction. Discussions based on the Western thought also constitute the main characteristic of the Eurasianist way of thinking. On the other hand, the members of Eurasianism have tried to bring a new perspective, which they define as the third way, to issues such as the historical role of Russia and Russian belonging, which have been oscillating between the nativists and the Westerners. This article examines the evolution of Eurasianism in Russia and analyses its impact on Russian foreign policy
