What unites the destinies of Byzantium and the Russian Empire? Why did the myths about the great legacy of Byzantium become fatal for Russian statehood? How can a historical project based on ambition and faith change the course of world history? This book tells about the idea that became the basis of Russia's historical mission and determined its foreign and domestic policy for centuries. Through a detailed study of political and religious programs, the author shows how the desire to seize Constantinople and the Black Sea straits became both a great goal and a fatal mistake for the state. You will see how legends about the legacy of the second Rome penetrated Russian culture, substantiated rights to foreign lands and led to the creation of a grandiose historical project, the finale of which was the death of the Russian Empire. The publication is recommended for anyone interested in the history of Russia, as well as the tragic events of its past. The text is supplemented with interactive links to materials from the Presidential Library, which makes it even more informative.
