Translation help, please!

Hello! I have another acronym question. Could someone please tell me what ВПШ stands for? Here is the context, if it would help:

"Но мы учились в ВПШ и ничего не умеем..."

I also came across the word "евразийство" in this article I'm translating. This has something to do with Eurasia, yes? How is it different from the word, "евразийский" (Eurasian)?

Спасибо заранее!

ВПШ = Высшая партийная школа - Higher Party School (preparing party functionaries).

Евразийство is a global concept invented by some Russian history philosophers. See, for example, an article (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Евразийство) in Russian Wikipedia.
