Mankind’s fascination with the Apocalypse is not new. Starting from the Hindu notions of Kali Yuga to 2012 Phenomenon, Apocalypse has been a part of our lives in the form of a cultural formation, natural threat, fictional entity, ideological construct, political fear or catastrophic end. Apocalyptic discourses underline how one culture perceives and reflects pain, trauma, loss and fear as well as indicating the ability to face and get ready for disaster. This inter-disciplinary and academic study aims to discuss the end of the world in multiple contexts where the popularity of apocalypse always reigns. In the scope of this work, readers will see the multi-dimensional nature of the Apocalypse referring more to progress rather than end or beginning, an in-between situation, a becoming, a formation; local yet global phenomenon; a product of fantasy plus a constructed reality; both an object of consumption and life consuming mechanism, an ideological presence in the absence of larger meta-narratives.

This collective volume aims to highlight the philosophical and literary idea of "apocalypse," within some key examples in the "Slavic world" during the nineteenth and twentieth century. From Russian realism to avant-garde painting, from the classic fiction of the nineteenth century to twentieth century philosophy, not omitting theatre, cinema or music, there is a specific examination of the concepts of "end of history" and "end of present time" as conditions for a redemptive image of the world. To understand this idea means to understand an essential part of Slavic culture, which; however divergent and variegated it may be in general, converges on a specific myth in a surprising manner.
