Eschatological and Secular Time in Politics: Russia, the West, and Chronopolitical Incommensurability

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The conflict between Russia and the West is not only a clash of interests or values but a clash of times. Western diplomacy privileges secular-linear temporality, while Russia gives preference to eschatological continuity. Unless this chronopolitical incommensurability is recognized, diplomatic engagement will continue to falter.
