The book publishes the main ideological works of the great Russian thinker, philosopher Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin (1882-1954). The correct paths leading to the national revival of Russia, according to Ilyin: faith in God, patriotism, historical continuity, monarchical legal consciousness, spiritual nationalism, Russian statehood, private property, a new governing system, a new Russian spiritual character and spiritual culture.
Patriotism, wrote Ilyin, lives only in the soul for which there is something sacred on earth, and above all the shrines of its people. It is the national spiritual life that is what and for what one can and should love one's people, fight and die for it. It contains the essence of the Motherland, the essence that is worth loving more than yourself. Motherland, according to Ilyin, is the Gift of the Holy Spirit. The national spiritual culture is, as it were, a hymn sung to God in history, or a spiritual symphony, historically sounded to the Creator. And for the sake of creating this spiritual music, peoples live from century to century, in work and suffering, in ups and downs. By denationalizing, a person loses access to the deepest wells of the spirit and to the sacred fires of life, for these wells and these fires are always national. According to Ilyin, nationalism is love for the historically spiritual image of one's people, faith in its God-given power, the will for its creative flourishing, and the contemplation of one's people in the face of God. Finally, nationalism is a system of actions arising from this love, from this faith, from this will and from this contemplation. True nationalism is not a dark, anti-Christian passion, but a spiritual fire that elevates a person to sacrificial service, and the people to spiritual flowering. Christian nationalism is the delight of contemplating one's people in the plan of God, in the gifts of His Grace, in the ways of His Kingdom.
