Original softcover. First edition. In Russian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1922 first edition represents a final, concise synthesis of the thought of Dmitry Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky, one of Russia’s most versatile polymaths—a linguist, Sanskritologist, and pioneer of the psychological school of literary criticism. Published in post-revolutionary Petersburg during the early years of the NEP, the work explores the intricate relationship between individual consciousness and national identity. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of ethnic psychology, including the arrangement of linguistic structures as the primary vessel for a \"national soul,\" the role of collective temperament, and the evolution of national character through historical crises. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky, a master of Vedic and classical languages, argues that nationality is not merely a biological or political fact, but a sophisticated psychological construct rooted in the very rhythm and syntax of a people's speech.\u003cbr\u003eThe aesthetic value of this slim 39-page volume is significantly elevated by the contribution of Sergey Chekhonin, a leading figure of the Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) movement and a master of the \"Soviet Empire\" style. Chekhonin designed both the cover and the publisher’s device for \"Vremya,\" utilizing his signature precision and revolutionary-neoclassical flair. The 17.5 x 12.0 cm format is characteristic of the portable, high-quality intellectual pamphlets produced by cooperative publishers in the early 1920s. For bibliophiles and historians of Russian thought, this 1922 Petersburg imprint is a vital primary source, capturing the intersection of pre-revolutionary academic tradition and the avant-garde book design of the early Soviet era. It stands as a testament to the intellectual resilience of a polyglot scholar whose work bridged the gap between Sanskrit studies and modern social psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963122647082,"sku":"EB-306275325518","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_cc44d2e9-5f9b-4a00-a4ed-123cfe528bc4.jpg?v=1768161472","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/psychology-of-nationality-1922-%d0%bf%d1%81%d0%b8%d1%85%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b3%d0%b8%d1%8f-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%86%d0%b8%d0%be%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%bd%d0%be%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b8-%d0%be%d0%b2%d1%81%d1%8f%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%be-%d0%ba%d1%83%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b2%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
