Abstract

The article is devoted to the “Slavic idea” of the writer of the 17th century Juraj Križanić. Being a Croat by birth, he worked in various states and in Moscow. Here he wrote the fundamental essay “Politics”. Using the late Russian historical compilations, Juraj Križanić formulated specific version of the “Slavic idea”. To realize the “Slavic idea”, the Russian state must be powerful. To be powerful, it must adhere to isolationism. In the article, the author seeks to prove that this version of the “Slavic idea” was influenced by the Moscow picture of the world.
