The book delves into the interplay between perceptions of Russia and Eastern Europe and the formation of a Western identity, particularly through a postcolonial lens. It investigates how characteristics, both real and perceived, of these regions influenced the construction of a liberal Western narrative, which gained prominence over time. The primary focus is on French culture and its role in shaping the discourse surrounding Russia since the inception of the debate on the subject.
