ABSTRACT In the still highly politicized question of rupture or continuity between the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, elements of continuity are not hard to find, nor should this be a surprise, since a new state arose in the same geographical space and made use of the economic, intellectual, and demographic resources inherited from the Russian Empire. At the same time, the Soviet Union could

Stavrogin and His Soul, or: The Transformation of Skepticism in the Digital Age Russian Studies in Philosophy Pub Date : 2022-07-25 Boris I. Pruzhinin, Tatiana G. Shchedrina, Irina O. Shchedrina
ABSTRACT It is not by chance that the title of this article paraphrases Gustav Gustavovich Shpet’s article “The Skeptic and His Soul” (1919). Is Stavrogin a skeptic? Yes, and the novel Demons is a narrative about how self-satisfied, self-flattering skepticism (skepticism for its own sake) leads man to devastation, to the dead end of absolute nihilism, to spiritual and literal suicide. Two circumstances

Late Tolstoy’s Perception of Law Russian Studies in Philosophy Pub Date : 2022-03-18 Alexei N. Krouglov
ABSTRACT Tolstoy’s literary works, as well as a number of events in his life, leave no doubt about the writer’s deep familiarity with law in both the theoretical and practical spheres. In his later years, this served as a basis for his sharply critical position in relation to law as such.

The freedom of actions and intentions, not intellectual superiority, is the most essential distinction of “cultured man” from his kin in the animal kingdom. Man is free as long as he

Mandelstam’s poetics, which has been of great interest to philologists and thus sufficiently studied to date, as the philosophical–culturological aspects of his work.
