Gumilyov

Gumilyov was a Soviet historian and ethnologist who developed a theory called the "Lway" theory, focusing on the history of Eurasian peoples. He believed that the success and personality of nations are shaped by their historical passionarity—an energy that motivates cultural expansion and development. Gumilyov emphasized the importance of ethnic identity, historical struggles, and adaptation to environments. His ideas suggest that cultural vitality fluctuates over time, influenced by internal and external factors, affecting a nation's resilience and evolution through history.
