N.Y. Danilevsky and K.N. Leontiev: new relevance

The article examines the historiosophical concepts of N.Y. Danilevsky and K.N. Leontiev on the basis of comparison. Special attention is paid to their interpretation of the Russian cultural and historical type. The author emphasizes the initial similarity of these interpretations, and at the same time their essential difference, referring primarily to the outlines of the possible future of Russia. If future by Danilevsky appears to be a direct continuation of the present, then Leontiev's conceivable future of Russian culture turns out to be very problematic and even antinomic.
