INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RUSSIAN ABSOLUTISM AND OCCIDENTAL LIBERAL DEMOCRACY IN JOSEPH CONRAD’S “UNDER WESTERN EYES”

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate that in the novel called Under Western Eyes written by Joseph Conrad, both Eastern and Western societies are under the maleficent influence of harmful practices such as betrayal, corruption and deceit. The similar moral degradation of the characters regardless of the social, political and cultural background to which they pertain shows that human nature can be perverted anywhere and this process is not specific to people living in a certain geographical area.
