Tragic events in Russian history which had long-term consequences not only for our country but also for the whole world made Berdyaev start thinking about the Russian people’s psychology, national identity and psychology of war and politics. Berdyaev makes an attemp to define what the soul of Russia is. The soul of Russia is contradictory and antinomic which is reflected both in the Slavophiles ’ ideology and Russian classical literature. In his works Berdyaev compared differences and similarities between the Russian mentality and European way of thinking and underlined rationailsm of a Westerner unlike spontaneous and chaotic Russian soul.
