1. The terms “culturalist” and “culturalism” have been used by those writing on Chinese history in the past but in a different sense from that which I propose here. The terms seem appropriate in that they are narrower than nationalism, broader than chauvinism, are not associated with other similar phenomena in Russian history, and rather accurately define the movement about which I am writing here. Culturalism has at its base Russian culture, whether haute culture or popular.

25. On the study of Old Russian literature since 1917 see Ia. S. Lur'e, “Drevnerusskaia literatura,” in V. G. Bazanov, ed., Sovetskoe literaturovedenie za 50 let (Leningrad, 1968). The introduction to this book by G. M. Fridlender covers literature and the arts in general. The work is remarkable for the openness with which it discusses the problems faced by scholars and writers from time to time in the Soviet Union.

26. One might note the excellent works by A. I. Klibanov in this connection, particularly his Istoriia religioznogo sektantstva v. Rossii (60-e gody XIX V.-1917 g.) (Moscow, 1965).
