Summary/Abstract: Arthur Lourié’s conception of revolution (political as well as cultural) is explored through his writings, with particular emphasis on its evolution from his Russian period to his Parisian and American exiles. Analysing Lourié’s Eurasianist views specifi cally I argue that through his association with Eurasianism and his engagement with Neoclassicism Lourié did not abandon his revolutionary disposition; the means through which his revolutionism was pursued as well as the ideals that shaped it were merely redefi ned, while remaining fi rmly grounded in the Silver Age.
