Alexandre Medvedev et al., « La mythologie de la guerre dans les articles de Vassili Rozanov », La Revue russe, ID : 10.3406/russe.2016.2742
«We started a war, selfsatisfied » : the mythology of a war in Vasily Rozanov’s publicism. The perception of World War I in Vasily Rozanov’s works («The War of 1914 and Russian Renaissance », Petrograd, 1915 ; «In the Fumes of War », Petrograd, Moscow, 1916 ; «The Apocalypse of Our Time », Sergiev Posad, 19171918) is considered in the context of articles by Konstantin Leontyev, Nikolai Berdyaev and Mikhail Prishvin’s diary, as well as in the historical and cultural context of the World War I (Cossack Kozma Kryuchkov, publicist Mikhail Menshikov, singer Maria DolinaGorlenko). The Slavophile ideology (the myth of Holy Russia) is revealed in Rozanov’s discourse about the war, which became the basis of state propaganda.
