Description
The author focuses on the spiritual, cultural, and ideological history of Russia and shows that Russians are, by their very nature, a nation of the East. This corresponds to the character of the state, the relationship between social classes, and the long-term thinking of the elites. Nikolai Berdyaev wrote his essays on Russian communism around the mid-1930s. The book was first published in English in 1937, followed by translations into other Western languages, while the Russian original was published in Paris only in 1955. Berdyaev's work remains relevant, and today's reader will clearly realize that the constant features of Russian thought are fanaticism and asceticism, deep nihilism, revolutionary fervor, a dogmatic cult of the people, and the dream of their supposed liberation.
