Abstract

“Monarchic statehood” L.A. Tikhomirova gave the monarchist movement an ideological expression of her feelings and unconscious national-patriotic feelings, set out in a strict system of history and dogmatics of monarchical statehood in its logical construction, which had not been done before the publication of this book.

Ultimately, all opinions about Russia, about its fate, vocation, history, all pros and cons come down to one question: is Russia original or not? From the answer to this question, all other concepts proceed.

Or, in other words, all concepts, all ideas, in fact, can be divided into those that recognize originality in relation to Russia and those that deny it. The identity of the Supreme Power in Russia is one of the most striking areas of the identity of the Russian spirit.

The originality of the autocracy in its historical path. It was born and grew along with the birth and growth of the Russian nation itself. It became a social institution of the Russian people, it included all the religious, psychological, everyday and cultural stereotypes of Russian thinking, psychology, faith and tastes.
