Introduction. After the communist ideological dictate in historiographic sphere of modern post-soviet countries failed, have been developed the new doctrines that are aimed to be the only correct in the whole humanitarian space. One of them is the concept of neoeurasism by Russian historiography. For Ukrainians this concept is only political idea, that’s why it is not perceived as the ethnohistoriographic concept in which Ukraine and Ukrainians have negative roles. Majority of critically thinking researches mark that the concept is antiscientific and it’s population among the Russians must be deep analyzed.
Purpose. The ideologize scientific model of the historical past, proposed by neoeuroasism apologists (besides A. Dugin) through the connection with the Russian classic science (for the first with the “ethnological concept” by L. Gumilyov), is based on the ethnic original and ethnohistorical evolution of East Slav’s association. From here is lined up the geopolitical model of difficult today’s relations between Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. That’s why the article aim is the analyses of modern Russian science, ideology and ethnopolitical practices cross-coupling in the context of the neoeurasism concept influence.
Results. The neoeurasism was formed in Russia in the 1990ths One of the most important tasks for classic and modern neoeurasism’ apologists is permanent “translation of empire”. Today the neoeurasism doctrine became the unfinished theoretical model of new empire construction or restoration of the Soviet empire. The most substantial foundation of their theory the neoeurasism’ apologists concider the so-called “Russian eurasis civilization”. So the Russian self-identification process leaves unfinished and obscure.
The doctrinal level and ideological construction of modern Russian neoeurasism are connected with the A. Dugin person, who till the June of the 2014th held the position of the Moscow state university international relations sociology department manager but was fared because of appeals to kill the Ukrainians. That’s why the very important problem, which is marked by modern researches, is the neoeurasism (especially by A. Dugin) sloping to neo-fascist rhetoric and ideological content. Connection between the A.Dugin ideas and fascist tendency became the subject of many discussions in Russia and Europe.
The purpose of neoeurasism researches is the attempt to prove the Eurasia mythical monolithic nature and to deny the East Slavs ethno-differentiation. This is necessary for the only Russian ethnos empire domination. Taking into account insolvency of this theory, we have to notice that modern neoeurasism do not worry about making their model heuristic valuable and vigorous.
Conclusion. The modern Russian neoeurasism is pretended to be the scientifically-reasonable doctrine, directed to explain the Russian past and contemporaneity originality, but must be defined as pseudo-scientific, primitive creation. A. Dugin attempts to explain the ethno-historical development of Russians as the prevailed community in Eurasia region and to induce the neighbour nations to live in Russia empire are especially bright. But without any doubt this hypothesis is unscientific and not able to analyze the East Slavs historical past.
