The book presents plots and problems that most adequately reflect the idea of ​ ​ the Russian philosophy of history and are associated with the understanding of the historical destinies of Russia. For the first time, an analysis of emigrant philosophical thought was given (Berdyaev, Bulgakov, Karsavin, etc.), thereby attempting to restore the interrupted spiritual tradition of Russian philosophical culture. At the end of each lecture, the texts of the main sources for independent work are given.
