Abstract
The article is the first part of the reconstruction of the circumstances of the post-war life of L.P. Karsavin and I.L. Karsavina in Vilnius from July 1944 to July 1949. On a strictly documentary basis, the author methodically shows how the initial distrust of security officials towards the former ideologist of Eurasianism Lev Karsavin took shape in a chain of successive attempts by Lev Platonovich and Irina Lvovna to find their place in post-war Soviet reality, but ended in life tragedies for every member of the Karsavin family. They were largely predetermined by the insurmountable contradictions between the Christian views of the thinker, the serious illness of his daughter and the stake of the extremely ideologized state power on the repressive, forceful elimination of any manifestations of dissent and disagreement with the political course, that were further aggravated by the most difficult post-war situation in Lithuania. The author introduces into the scientific circulation many previously unknown documents of great importance for the history of Russian philosophy.
