The question of Russia's uniqueness and the vocation of the Russian people and state was first put forth by philosopher Pyotr Chaadayev,«Русская идея»: антиномия женственности и мужественности в национальном образе России however he did not give this question a positive answer. Slavophils suggested to Chaadayev their own versions of an answer (with criticism of Westernization and an apology of Orthodox Christianity).Полемика славянофилов и западников. Русская идея The very term "Russian Idea" was introduced by Fyodor Dostoevsky in the year 1860 and became known abroad after the report named "L'Idée russe" given by philosopher Vladimir Solovyov in Paris in 1888. Russian philosopher Arseny Gulyga wrote: "Dostoevsky's version of the Russian Idea is a concept of universal morality having a patriotic form. The term was widely used by Russian philosophers such as Evgenii Nikolaevitch Troubetzkoy, Vasily Rozanov, Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov, Semyon Frank, Georgy Fedotov, Lev Platonovich Karsavin. In its most correct form, the "Russian Idea" concept is defined through ideas of philosophers and thinkers of the turn of the 20th century, such as Nikolai Berdyaev, Vladimir Solovyov, Ivan Ilyin, Nikolay Danilevsky, and also modern thinkers like Victor Vladimirovich Aksyutich, Arseny Gulaga and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Their works emphasize the importance of this concept, its "cementing" quality for the Russian people. Modern Russian writer Victor Pelevin has his own view of the idea, and in its fullest form this view is detailed in his novel Generation "П". According to the adherents of the concept, the Russian Idea expresses "God's plan for Russia",Русская Идея i.e. a sacred and, often, eschatological mission of the Russian people and state.According to the current Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation is a secular state with separation of church and state: Article 14 1. The Russian Federation is a secular state. No religion may be established as a state or obligatory one. 2. Religious associations shall be separated from the State and shall be equal before the law. The Russian Idea contains inside it the idea of the Russian people and state being a "God-carrier". The universality and sobornost of the Russian Idea is emphasized by this fact. The adherents of the Russian Idea strongly believe that Russia has a global purpose and is important for the overall Christian salvation.
