This is a review of the recent monograph by Dario Citati, an Italian historian of Russian philosophy and political thought. His work is dedicated to the detailed reconstruction of Lev Gumilev’s intellectual heritage, major aspects of classical Eurasian doctrine and its modern interpretations. The appearance of Citati’s book is a significant event for Italian historiography of Russian philosophy. First, it provides a systematic study of Gumilev’s main ideas, problems and methodological issues. Second, it allows to overcome and redefine the stereotypes around Eurasianism in Western studies. As a result, Citati’s work offers a solid background for the dialogue between Russian and Italian historians of Russian philosophy.
