This article reviews the new research of the Russian philosopher and culturologist and National Research University Higher School of Economics professor Olga Zhukova. Zhukova proposes new philosophical approach to Russian cultural history analysis, based on the major ideas and stories of Russian social and religious thought. The author creates a broad review of the Russian historical development and reveals key features of the formation of system of values. Zhukova examines the Russian culture as a complex structure of religious, political, and artistic traditions. The monograph illustrates the formation of the Russian philosophy with its accent on historical and cultural problems. In analyzing the social and spiritual transformation that accompanied the transition of Russian society from a traditional to a modern culture, the author continues the study of national culture that was started by Russian philosophers of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. Zhukova forms an inconvenient reconstruction of national culture and implements historical and philosophical concepts of the Russian thinkers. This article presents a critical analysis of Zhukova’s research. Besides a review of Zhukova’s culturological concept, the author explores the ideal model and the practice of the editorial and publishing business. The monograph is analyzed not only as a study of scientist and researcher, but also as a result of publishing office work. The article displays the “areas of responsibility” of the author and editors and publishers.
