Ideology
"Rus" supported the views of the Slavophiles .
Employees of the newspaper believed that each layer of the population should have its own separate educational system: for example, peasants should be educated in the spirit of Orthodox traditions, while the ruling elite should have received a comprehensive university education.
Aksakov and his employees had nationalistic aspirations; they wanted to maintain imperial unity and create conditions in which the national majority had all the privileges and advantages.
Aksakov believed that only a monarchical system was suitable for Russia. On the one hand, “Rus” wanted to strengthen the authority of the tsar and the ruling elite, on the other hand, the newspaper actively pointed out significant shortcomings in governing the country.
“Rus” existed during the crisis of the Russian financial system, which began after the war with Turkey. Therefore, one of the main points of the economic program of Rus was the creation of favorable conditions for the development of domestic industry. Employees of the newspaper believed that Russia should not export raw materials, but the finished product. Also, “Rus” promoted the nationalization of railways.
“Rus” advocated freedom of conscience and religion, Aksakov criticized the criminal prosecution in religious matters, but he himself insisted on privileges for the Orthodox Church. The newspaper’s ideologists wanted to eliminate the split between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Old Believers .
