Alexander Lukin : His fundamental idea was that imperial Russia belonged more to the East than to the West. He believed that Asian countries, including China, had unique cultures at least equal to that of the West and that Asia was a natural Russian ally in Russia’s opposition to the West. He thought that China, awakened by Western violence and material progress, would overcome the West with Western weapons, would leave the West behind, and would run it. He believed that the Confucian principle of deep respect for scholarship, and the custom of working on acquiring wisdom regardless of age, was a partial guarantee that, in time, a most enlightened nation could emerge in East Asia. He sharply criticized Western military actions and the brutality in China, especially during the Boxer rebellion.
