Not because the apprentice now fully masters the issue (or not
at all). That is no longer the key question. The reason is
simply that there are no apprentices anymore because they no
longer want to be accepted into the guild or get its
recognition. a comprehensive analysis of how Russia's
historical experiences relate to those of 'Europe', I would
rather like to present two theoretical approaches that can help
orient oneself in this highly controversial terrain. First is
the theory of the cultural divide between West and East put
forward by the late Martin Malia.
Malia questions the existence of a clear line dividing "West"
from "East". Instead, he assumes that there is a smoother
gradation that can be experienced by those traversing the
essentially unified Eurasian continent in an easterly direction.
The second theory, developed by Maria Todorova , establishes a
«relative synchronicity within the framework of a longue durée
development(Long duration)". By situating various Telegram

European nationalisms in a unified
structure of modernity, Todorova avoids the discourse of
"backwardness" and defines the "East"—Eastern Europe, the
Balkans, and Russia—as part of a common European space.1. Both
theories stress the fundamentally European character of Russia
and neither disputes the country's peripheral position.

Russia's relative subalternity with respect to Europe seems
inevitable simply because it has never generated its own vision
of modernity, but rather has adopted a European vision. From
this arose a persistent dilemma that Russian intellectuals – the
so-called intelligentsia – have suffered for the last 200 years.
According to the American historian Alan Pollard , "the elements
that made up his consciousness were mostly Western products. So
precisely those qualities of the intelligentsiathat gave them
the ability to understand – that is, what constitutes their
essence – distanced this group from the reality of life in the
country, which they precisely had to portray»2. Furthermore, to
acknowledge that Russia's modern intellectual tradition is an
imitation and that the country is culturally dependent on Europe
runs counter to the idea of ​​Russian greatness. In
the imagination of the country's ruling elites, throughout its
history, Russia has primarily formed an alternative power center
pursuing a global and universal "project," like the Romanov
Orthodox Empire or the Soviet Empire.
