In the term 'world' it means a civilization, also people in different civilizations often know who is and who is not part of their 'world'. For example; Turkic and Iranian people have a sense of affinity with each other, but not with the Arabs despite sharing the same religion. Also these peoples feel sometimes feel an affinity with the Russians as well, as evidenced in a Turkish television series set in Russia during WW1 called Kurt Seyit ve Şura.
Also the Russians especially feel some kind of kinship with the Turkic and Iranian peoples, not surprising since there are sizable Turkic minorities in Russia. Therefore; the ideology of Eurasianism which Aleksandar Dugin is not an attempt to restore the Russian Empire. Because Poland and the Baltic states are not included in 'Eurasia', while Turkey, Iran and Mongolia are included, rather I argue an attempt to reunite the people's of Eurasia who have had their civilizational identity suppressed by those who wanted to turn the peoples of Euriasia into Westerners or Arabs.
