ABSTRACT

The Europasian movement was born in Bolshevik gaols, where leisure gave time for thought, and the imminence of death a large view. The leaders of the organized Emigration still continued critical; but the rank and file, which was and still remains a somewhat amorphous body, began to show a decided interest in Europasianism, which can now count upon large numbers of adherents in the Emigration, especially among the younger men and women. The leaders of the Europasian movement are for the most part men who in their youth fought in the Great War and now are entering upon the full vigour of their manhood. With the year 1927 the story enters upon a new period—a period when the Europasian movement spreads to the masses of the Russian people, and becomes a factor of great importance in any discussion of the Russian problem.
