The Russian Order: The Relevance of the New Oprichnina

Eurasianism and the Elites

There is a concept called ‘Eurasian selection’. This is a model developed by the first Eurasianists that is used to determine what sort of people should head the state. They analysed the experience of Genghis Khan, the steppe empires that emphasised military virtues (loyalty, honour, and ‘long will’):[275] that is, specific ethical qualities which must serve as the basis of the selection of the Eurasian elites. Today’s Russian elite does not meet these criteria.

Naturally, the best way to create an adequate political elite is through revolutions and wars. In such cases the strongest, the aristocracy, come to power. A time of peace is usually the time of mediocre leaders or sub-passionaries. According to Gumilev, there are a hundred sub-passionaries per one true passionary.[276] They are different from the masses in that they want something but cannot achieve it, and they make up a class of the ‘sub-elite’.
