Author of quotes: Nikolay Yakovlevich Danilevsky

What a war we fought as a member of the European system, which Alliance, any peace Treaty that we signed as a European power, brought us a valid benefit?
<...>
The best example in this respect is the famous Holy Alliance. Some of the victims did not bring Russia to its goals!
<...>
Let us specify at least one such action of the European powers for the benefit of Russia. What did Russia to Germany and to Austria, as any beskorystnoi, and still had a reputation for lion roaring, seeking someone to devour.

In the example of the Ukraine, long disconnected from the rest of Russia and voluntarily United with her after the reconquest of their independence, we see proof that not one great tribe, as some think, endowed with a deep political measure; and therefore may hope that in case the same sense and tact will show and other Slavs, voluntarily admitting after the reconquest of their independence hegemony of Russia in the Union; because, in fact, circumstances in which there was little Russia in the time of Khmelnytsky and the Western Slavs now, is very similar. The people's enthusiasm in favorable circumstances, the genius of the leader, push forward the people's movement, can be, and you can give them independence, as in Khmelnytsky, but saving her, and most importantly, the preservation of common Slavic character of life and culture is impossible without close mutual connections with Russia.

And what has changed at least for hair Europe in relation to Russia? Yes, she's very sympathetic to the peasant cause, while hoping that it would plunge Russia into endless troubles; just the same, England sympathized with the liberation of American blacks. We've seen a lot of her love and benevolence on the occasion of Polish Affairs. Hangman, dagger and arsonists become heroes, as long their nefarious deeds turned against Russia. Defenders of nationalities fall silent as soon as the case is about the protection of Russian nationality, utterly oppressed in the Western provinces, - just the same, however, as in the case of Bosniaks, Bulgarians, Serbs or Montenegrins.

So, for every Slav: Russian, Czech, Serb, Croat, Slovenian, Slovak, Bulgar (would like to add and Polish), after God and His Holy Church - the idea Slavs must be the highest idea, above science, above freedom, above education, above every earthly good, for none of them for him cannot be achieved without its implementation...

The idea is the same Department of the brain as urine - separation of the kidneys.

The inheritance of Russia - the lot happy, to increase her power she has not to conquer, not to oppress, like all representatives of the power, hitherto lived on our land: Macedonia, Rome, the Arabs, the Mongols, the States of the German-Roman world, and to release and retrieve...

The fact that Europe does not acknowledge us. She sees Russia and the Slavs in General, something alien to her, and however that cannot be used for a simple material from which it could derive its benefits, as extracts from China, India, Africa, most part of America and so on, material that would have formed and wrought in the image and likeness...

The struggle with the West - the only life-saving remedy as a cure for our Russian cultural ailments, and for the development of the pan-Slavic sympathies, to absorb their petty strife between the different Slavic tribes and areas.

Made by Russia for the Finnish nationality will, no doubt, appreciated by impartial men; in the hostile camp while it excites only indignation, sometimes reaching to the ridiculous. In my time in Norway I insisted seriously one Swede that the Russian government out of hostility to Sweden, artificially induced Finnish nationality and composed, to this end, an epic poem Kalevala.

In the eyes of Europe all the crime of the partition of Poland lies in the fact that Russia has intensified, returning his treasure.

Famusov, in view of the dishonor his daughter, exclaims: what do you say Princess Marja Alekseevna. and it discovers the depth of his own moral nothingness. We built Europe in our common San of Maria Alexeevna, the Supreme reshitelny dignity of our actions. Is the approval of people's conscience, we have recognized the moral engine of our actions cowardly fear of the judgements of Europe, humiliating the vain pleasure from her praise.

Self-sacrifice is the highest moral law.

Europe is not only something alien to us, but even hostile to her interests not only can not be our interests, but in most cases, directly contrary to them.

The present name Istanbul was given to him by the Turks, not the name, and stigma. ... It should disappear together with the conquerors. ...Bosphorus capital... not only the city of the past but also the future. And Slavs, as if anticipating him and his greatness, prophetically called it Tsargrada. This name and its meaning, because it is Slavic, is the future name of this city.
