ABSTRACT

The concept of ressentiment is extremely useful to understand the incapacity of the imperial and neo-eurasianist project, both of which claim to be imperial, to have a meaning and thus to read over again the picture one have just painted. The way the neo-eurasianists desire to restore Moscow's influence in its former near abroad diverts them from a genuine imperial project. As for the neoconservatives, whose ideas have little by little seduced a large part of the American political elites, but are not concerned by how their message is received. The empire is the continuing actualization by a political community of the narrative of its historical calling; the political community embraces the difficulty of an indefinite expansion of its domination over an ever increasing territory likened to the whole world. If ressentiment indeed there is, in other words the powerless repetition of the tragic memory of the end of the empire.
