Abstract

The article attempts to analyze the ideological basis of the activities of the Russian Political Council (RPC) in Paris. The author identifies a number of basic plots around which the political concepts of the RPC were built. Among them – the question of the ways of state and national building in Russia after the victory of the white movement, the problem of overcoming the disintegration of the country, the essence of the revolution and Bolshevism, the place of Russia in post-war Europe. Based on the materials of the RPC, it was studied what meaning was put by its participants in such concepts as «Russia», «Russian people», «separatism», «Bolshevism», «Germanism». The author comes to conclusions about the eclecticity of the origin of these concepts in the RPC ideology, points out the evolution of some of them. The author concludes that the special perception of certain concepts by the members of the conference, for example, Bolshevism, hindered mutual understanding with the Paris Peace Conference
