The right to modernity: about the book of M. David-Fox «Crossing Borders: Modernity, Ideology, and Culture in Russia and the Soviet Union»

The specificity of Russian and Soviet modernity continues to attract the attention of leading foreign researchers. A number of scholars, building on Eisenstadt's productive ideas, have been further developing a scientific theory according to which there were different historical paths to modernity.  M. David-Fox, whose book was translated into Russian in 2020, is no exception. The American scientist proceeds from the premise that modernity can only develop across borders. This applies not only to the category of space, for example, the obvious influence of the core of the world-system on its periphery and vice versa, but also to the category of time (transition from pre-modern to modern ideology and culture, continuity through the gap). This article is a review of the work of M. David Fox. Its purpose is to analyze the main provisions of the concept of M. David Fox, which presents the original model of intellectual-statist modernity.
