In the course of Vladimir Putin’s third presidential term, many of the doctrines and ideas associated with Eurasianism have moved to the center of public political discourses in Russia. Eurasianism, both Russian and non-Russian, is politically active —influential and contested— in debates about identity, popular culture or foreign policy narratives.Deploying a variety of theoretical frameworks and perspectives, the essays in this volume work together to shed light on both Eurasianism’s plasticity and contemporary weight, and examine how its tropes and discourses are appropriated, interpreted, modulated and deployed politically, by national groups, oppositional forces (left or right), prominent intellectuals, artists, and last but not least, government elites. In doing so, this collection addresses essential themes and questions currently shaping the Post-Soviet world and beyond.

Based on extensive international research, The Heretic draws on new archival material and interviews, offering the most comprehensive study of Deutscher's life and work to date. Focusing on his political and intellectual evolution, Gonzalo Pozo maps Deutscher's numerous international dialogues and controversies both on the left and on the right, and critically interrogates his historical and ethical actuality for our time.Isaac Deutscher (1907-67), was both one of the most celebrated and most controversial intellectuals of Cold War. Best known for his biographies of Stalin and Trotsky, he was born in an observant Yiddish-speaking family in Chrzanów, a shtetl only a few miles away from Auschwitz. Still in his teens, he moved to Warsaw where he published poetry and literary journalism. A member of the Communist party from late 1926, his open opposition to Stalinist orthodoxy resulted in his expulsion in 1932. His anticipation of a joint Nazi-Soviet invasion, pushed him to abandon Poland for London in 1939. After a successful career at the news desks at The Economist and The Observer, he turned himself into a freelance historian, thinker and internationally-renowned expert on Russian and Eastern European affairs. His voluminous writing, his clairvoyance and courage, and his compelling style, made him an essential intellectual resource during the fifties and sixties, and left a lasting impact on the New Left even after his death.
