“... My monograph about Alexei Stepanovich Khomyakov is not a historical study and does not pretend to be exhaustive. This work is not so much historical as philosophical-systematic, psychological and critical. I want to give a complete image of Khomyakov, central and important in his worldview and attitude. At the same time, I pursue the goals of a critical assessment of Khomyakov’s Slavophilism. Along with the topic of Hamsters, I am interested in another topic - Hamsters and us. Since, in my opinion, Khomyakov is the central figure in Slavophilism, the theme of Khomyakov is at the same time a theme about Slavophilism in general, and the theme of Khomyakov and we is a theme about the fate of Slavophilism. ..."
