Author discusses "the Russia idea" and Russia's search for an ideology.

The Russia Idea seems to include: The Russian Orthodox Church; Eurasianism; Russian geopolitics

For dominating Eurasia, Russians have considered Moscow-Tehran axis, and a Mosco-Tokyo axis. A Moscow-Berline axis seems to be more popular concept, though.

Interesting. Previously this author was best known for writings regarding terrorism. Interesting he's taken on this topic.
