Russian philosophy. Revolution and culture

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the centenary of the Russian revolution and the analysis of its origins, causes and consequences in the works of Russian philosophers of the Silver Age. All the philosophers presented below were, in a certain sense, victims of the revolution. They either died, or were expelled from the country, or were forced to be silenced for many years. But for all of their lives they were spiritually connected to Russia, they analyzed causes for the defeat of emerging democracy, predicted the inevitable defeat of communism, mourned the death of national culture and sought the ways of its revival. one must say that the further development of our country has confirmed the correctness of their analysis and prophecies.
