Summary/Abstract: Both in its classical variant, based on primarily cultural coordinates, and in the neo-one, predominantly geopolitical, Eurasianism proves its ideocratic character, and therefore ideological, despite its advocates’ rejection to any form of ideology in favor of geopolitical concepts. Advancing concepts as pro-Soviet neo-Eurasianism, respectively post-Soviet neo-Eurasianism, the article proposes a review of the Eurasianist phenomenon in 20th century Russia, and the way it was resorbed, after the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, in the Russian Federation’s foreign policy.
