S. N. Bogatyreva Patriotism of Russian Expatriate Community and Emigration

Abstract: In this article, the authors talk about the interpretation of the concept of “patriotism” as a special method for conceptualizing the reality by the representatives of the Russian expatriate and emigrate community. The article considers and analyzes the contents of the activities performed by emigrants abroad during the post-revolutionary period and World War I. In 2012, it was the 90th anniversary of the event which played a huge negative role in the life of Russia, which was the expulsion from the country after the Great October Socialist Revolution, resounding defeat of intervention and internal counter-revolution, of outstanding people of their time: educators, philosophers, scientists, doctors, artists, poets, writers, highly professional specialists and public figures, humanitarians, thinkers. They were sent to exile only because they were fighting for the principle of spiritual freedom in their life and creative work and were deemed hopeless by the Soviet authorities in terms of converting them to the communist faith. It was expulsion performed by the new power for ideological, rather than political, reasons.
