Summary/Abstract: The study investigates the avatars of the concept of Eurasianism starting from an interwar Romanian writer, Vasile Gherasim, and his work The Spiritual Eurasia (1931). Eurasianism (as cultural preoccupation), however, existed in Romania, namely during the interwar period and, interestingly enough, in the cultural realm of Bucovina, which, as we know it too well, was hallmarked by tight relations with the German philosophical space. The author discussed here, briefly, is not a geopolitical thinker, but a philosopher, whose philosophy resonates with the German one of the time and identifies civilization traits.
