Dmytro Dontsov was the first Ukrainian political thinker and ideologue to launch a holistic critique of Russian civilisation and mentality as a global threat to Ukraine and Europe. His publications on this topic before the First World War pushed Ukrainians to rethink the 200-year union of the two Orthodox peoples and to identify the true causes of the deep divide between them. Since 1920, Dontsov waged a systematic ideological and propaganda war against the "Moscow Sphinx" (R. Brzeski), opening the eyes of his contemporaries to the essentially always criminal, destructive, anti-European policy of Muscovy, which was formed as an aggressive antithesis to the Occidental civilisation in the Middle Ages.

The collection includes the author's main works on Russian topics, mainly from the first period of his work in the 1910s and 1930s, when he was able to explain the most distinctive features of Russian imperialism, culture and mentality. The Spirit of Russia, although published in 1961 in German, fully conveys the conceptualism of Dontsov's early writings.

The publication is recommended for political scientists, philosophers, cultural studies, literary critics, and anyone interested in the issues of global wars and confrontations between civilisations.
