The aim of the article is to reveal the ideas of Eurasians in Russia, exerting the greatest influence on formation and content of their philosophical and sociological views.
Materials and methods. Realization of the research tasks was achieved through the use of the works by Russian thinkers of XIXth century, researches by Russian scholars devoted to the subject matter. The methodological base included the comparative historical method, allowing to show the originality of the historical and sociological views of Russian thinkers.
Results. The article reveals theoretical sources of Eurasianism teaching on Russia, interprets its content, brings out main ideas of V. I. Lamansky, D. I. Mendeleev, A. P. Shchapov, which classical Eurasians were to a large extent guided by.
