Panrussism
As Panrussismus one of is Konstantin Pobedonoszew returning, (1827-1907) nationalistisch narrowed special form of Panslawismus designated. Pobedonoszew was a secular clergyman of the Russian Orthodox Church , constitutional lawyer, teacher of the later Tsar Alexander III. and after his accession to the throne, senator and chief procurator of the Holy Synod and thus head of the church.
ideology
According to the (supposed) logic that the essence of the Slavic soul is orthodoxy, he equated Slavic and / or Orthodox with Russian. The result was a government-sponsored Russification and oppression policy, especially against Poles and Jews, but also non-Orthodox Russians and non-Russian Orthodox, which had been state-sponsored since 1881.
Connection with Pan-Slavism
The former Slavophile Mikhail Katkow (1818–1887) belonged to this direction after 1860.
Konstantin Leontjew (1831-1891) therefore endeavored to involve the Orthodox Greeks in Pan-Slavism or Pan-Russianism. But Pan-Slavism is not only orthodox fundamentalist, it is also related to Russian nationalism and anti-Western tradition in the Balkans.
Pan-Mongolism or Eurasism
Related, other anti-Western attitudes are also welcomed by atheist Eurasians (e.g. Bolsheviks, but also their opponents) or Pan-Mongolists . They see the identity and nationality of Russia as justified less by Slavism than by Byzantine and Eurasian traditions - incidentally, exactly the accusation with which nationalist Poles conversely denied the Russians Slavism.
