This book examines a cycle of ideological models advanced as the state ideology of the Russian Empire during the reigns of Catherine the Great, Alexander the Great, and Nicholas II: Catherine the Great's "Greek project," the concept of "Holy Rus'," the plan for the Holy Alliance of monarchs, and the doctrine of "Orthodoxy—autocracy—nationality." These attempts at national and state self-identification were largely based on the experience of poetic reflection on Russia accumulated during those years by authors of odes, poems, tragedies, and historical novels. Andrei Zorin is a renowned literary scholar, Doctor of Philology, professor at Oxford University, the Russian State University for the Humanities, and the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), and author of books published by NLO: "Where the Pheasant Sits...," "The Appearance of a Hero," "The Life of Leo Tolstoy," and others.
