Arguing that the reforms initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev are leading toward the formation of a Russian nation-state, the author analyzes the current debate among Soviet writers about the nature of the post-communist future. His discussion of the ideas of such national figures as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Dmitrii Likhachev, alongside other significant though less well-known authors, lends support to the belief that today's liberal nationalists could become a formidable sociopolitical force in the Russia of tomorrow.
