The Career of a Parvenu
From the very beginning of his literary career, Alexei Pisemsky gained a reputation as a “somewhat cynical” writer, while his literary and personal friend Alexander Druzhinin privately referred to Pisemsky as a “tavernkeeper.” Indeed, in literature he was far from what was considered good taste and tended not only to point out but also to rather directly articulate what was customarily left to the reader’s imagination. This “cynicism” was seen by…
Debates on Narodnost in Russian Intellectual Culture
In November 2024, a “round-table” was held on the topic: “Debates on Narodnost in Russian Intellectual Culture: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”. The discussion was initiated by the journal Voprosy Filosofii and by representatives of the research project No. 24-18-00651, “The Ontology of the Nation in Russian Neo-Kantianism”, carried out at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University and supported by the Russian Science Foundation. Leading domesti…
The Polish Theme in the Journalism by Nikolai Leskov
Nikolai Semenovich Leskov (1831–1895) is one of the best-known Russian writers of the nineteenth century and a recognized classic of Russian literature. However, Leskov’s journalism proper, which comprises a significant amount in his ouvre in the 1860s, has been under-researched primarily in relation to this period, and for a long time has remained outside the scope of scholarly interest, and when it has been studied, it has been used as material…
On a Place in Time
The essay is a comment on Larisa Deriglazova’s article “Time Is Out of Joint”: EU and Russia in Quest of Themselves in Time.” The author argues that modernization does not mean an approximation to a certain normative, but the solution of one’s own tasks, which cannot be achieved by means of simple reproduction or extensive growth of what already exists. Whereas the transfer of the European model of modernization to new EU member-states is support…

Conservatism with many faces. Reflections on the Book
Revolutionary Version of the Russian National Historical Narrative
lt;p>The middle of the 19th century in Russian intellectual history is the time of the formation of key concepts and images, including the images of the "Russian nation". These images, being processed and modified, but maintaining continuity with respect to the original concepts, continue to operate even now. The problems of Russian nationalism in the 19th century from the perspective of the history of various trends in Russian socialist thought …
A Post-Soviet Empire
“Russia’s current foreign policy is both post-imperial and post-Soviet. The prefix ‘post’ does not mean impotence or uncertainty. It means that the present is predetermined by the past, it is the inheritor of the past. The inheritor is dissimilar from what it inherits and as long as the inheritor remains dissimilar and not fully aware of its own identity, it continues to be ‘post’.”
Thirty Years After
Capitalism and socialism, opposed to each other in the Cold War, began to gradually exchange their features: in the West, capitalism started incorporating socialist institutions of welfare state, and the soft version of socialism became an ideology of intellectuals. At the same time, in the East, socialism could not resist consumer culture, while intellectuals had switched to either conservative or purely liberal positions, both being sharply cri…

The Protestant Ethic in the Russian Context
It could be called an anniversary issue since one of Weber's famous works will celebrate its centenary immediately after the Review's publication. At the end of January, 1919, Weber delivered his famous speech Politik als Beruf (Politics as a Vocation), which was published in July of the same year. This is a remarkable coincidence, but still, no more than just a coincidence. In the many contributions to our issue (though not in all of them), Webe…
Transformation of the Big Narrative
One of the key issues on Russia's current and long-term political agendas is whether Russian identity is possible without Ukraine. The purpose of this article is to study the issue through a possible transformation of the "big narrative" in Russian history. An analysis of "big narratives," a practice established in the 1970s-80s in the continental research tradition, combines historical, philosophical, and sociological approaches. Russia's big hi…
The Only Pictures in Memory of the Great War”
The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 spawned a request from both the government and the public for an appropriate pictorial representation to be evaluated in the categories of ‘high art’, a request which revealed the inability of the predominant aesthetics to be satisfied. The paintings on the subjects of the preceding Balkan Crisis of 1875–1876 easily appealed to the existing reserve of descriptive means in primarily appealing to Orientalist motiv…

Chaadayev’s Permanency
The historiosophical views of Pyotr Chaadaev (1794-1856) have been widely discussed and studied since the publication of the first Philosophical Letter to the Lady in the journal Telescope in the autumn of 1836. However, the range of the available works of Chaadaev was limited for a long time. Thus, Chaadaev’s five of the eight Philosophical Letters remained unknown until 1935, and the number of his letters that were studied was limited until the…

Vasily Ivanovich Leshkov and His Theory of the “Social Law” as an Attempted Alternative to the “Police Law”
University of Moscow Professor Vasily Leshkov constructed a theory of “social law” in the 1850s to provide an alternative theory to “police law”. He intended to go beyond the opposition between private and public law. Following German legal scholars, (most notably, The German Historical School of Law, he introduced a triadic distinction of civil, social, and state laws. This distinction enabled him to break the identification of public with polit…
Variation on a Theme of Political Theology
“The Book of the Genesis of the Ukrainian People” is one of the key documents of modern Ukrainian nationalism. It is the most prominent document of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood (1846-1847). After N. I. Kostomarov had been arrested at the end of March 1846, he claimed that the seized document was based on “The Books of the Polish People and of the Polish Pilgrimage” by Adam Mickiewicz (1832). This paper compares these two documents and show…
On the Concept of “Federalism” in Socio-Political Theories of Mikhail Bakunin
Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876) is considered one of the founders of international anarchism and theoreticians of federalism. This paper explores the transformations of the concept of “federalism” in Bakunin’s works from the end of the 1840s until the last years of his life. According to the conventional understanding of the evolution of Bakunin’s ideas, a crucial shift of theoretical views took place in the second half of the 1860s. During the first…

The Slavic Question” in Pogodin’s Publicism (1830s — 1850s)
In the period of the 1830s to the 1850s, Mikhail Pogodin (1800-1875) was one of the creators and spokesmen of the doctrine of "official nationality. Detailed analysis of his views on the “Slavic question” reveals not only his thoughts of the Russian policy, but also reconstructs his understanding of “nationality” and the processes of nation building in the southern and western Slavic nations, including Great and Little Russia. Pogodin’s intellect…

В статье тезисно анализируются основные аспекты интереса к османской проблематике в отечественном интеллектуальном пространстве на протяжении XIX–XX вв. Обращается внимание на ориенталистский характер данного интереса и его взаимоувязку с трансляцией ориенталистских моделей описания на внутрироссийский материал, когда «внутренний наблюдатель» отождествляет себя с «Западом» (в силу чего при столкновении с взглядом извне возникает конфликт как реак…
Creating Political Nation
The paper analyses the worldviews of Vyacheslav (Vaclav) Lypynsky, (1882-1931), who was an outstanding intellectual of Ukrainian conservative thought of the 1900-1930’s. Particular attention is paid to his views of the 1920’s when he completed the construction of his theory, and revised his earlier writings. Under the influence of the early sociological writings of Vilfredo Parto and Robert Michels, he developed a typology of the origins of arist…
