THE PHENOMENON OF CONSERVATISM IN MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The article analyzes topical issues related to the research and prospects for the development of conservatism in Russia. An overview of existing research on this topic is presented. The importance of addressing the legacy of Russian conservatism is due to the presence of interesting theses on the part of its theorists regarding the spiritual and moral foundations of Russian civilization, the peculiarities of the country’s historical path, the development of statehood and democracy. The author argues that without studying the works of classics of conservative thought, it is impossible to comprehend the history and current state of conservatism in Russia.
