Summary/Abstract: This article examines on the emergence of Eurasianism within geopolitical discourse, and the manner in which such representations of Russia as a distinctive Eurasian civilization and power inform geopolitical thinking. The terms „Eurasianism” and „Eurasia” have once again come to the fore on the post Soviet political and intellectual scene since 1991. In order to answer this question, the author develops a classification of Russian geopolitical discourse based on how the ideas of classical Eurasians are interpreted and applied in the post Soviet context.
