Abstract:

The essence of redefining Europe is to redefine its border. The categorization of Russian civilization arouses discussions once again in the background of European eastern expansion. In Europe there are two opposite perspectives, one pessimistic, the other optimistic, towards Russia; however, neither Russia nor Europe wants to draw a wrong line again as their border. The Russian and European relations have already had a new legal framework, but there is a long way to go towards a common European homeland.

Key words: Russian-European relation, European homeland, geo-cu lture, interest cooperation, new framework
