This paper examines the history of 'Eurasianism' from the perspective of its principal historian Georgii Vernadsky. The author examines Vernadsky's research on Russian and Ukrainian history within the context of his biography and Eurasianist worldview. His central argument is that George Vernadsky's post-1917 historical scholarship was influenced by one powerful motive - his personal search for national identity, a search that was obviously made more complicated by his exile.
