Судьба России: Книга статей

by Nikolai Berdyaev, Николай Бердяев

Известный русский философ и публицист Н.А.Бердяев в книге "Судьба России" обобщил свои размышления и прозрения о судьбе русского народа и о судьбе российского государства. Государство изменило название, политическое управление, идеологию, но изменилась ли душа народа? Что есть народ как государство и что есть народ в не зависимости от того, кто и как им управляет? Каково предназначение русского народа в семье народов планеты, какова его роль в мировой истории и в духовной жизни человечества? Эти сложнейшие и острейшие вопросы Бердяев решает по-своему: проповедуя мессианизм русского народа и веруя в его великое предназначение, но одновременно отрицая приоритет государственности над духовной жизнью человека.

About the author

Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev was born at Kyiv in 1874 of an aristocratic family. He commenced his education in a military school and subsequently entered the University of Kiev. There he accepted Marxism and took part in political agitation, for which he was expelled. At twenty-five he was exiled from Kiev to the north of Russia and narrowly escaped a second period of exile shortly before the Revolution. Before this, however, he had broken with Marxism in company with Sergius Bulgakov, and in 1909 he contributed to a symposium which reaffirmed the values of Orthodox Christianity. After the October Revolution he was appointed by the Bolshevists to a chair of philosophy in the University of Moscow, but soon fell into disfavour for his independent political opinions. He was twice imprisoned and in 1922 was expelled from the country. He settled first in Berlin, where he opened a Russian Academy of Philosophy and Religion. Thence he moved to Clamart near Paris, where he lectured in a similar institution. In 1939 he was invited to lecture at the Sorbonne. He lived through the German occupation unmolested. After the liberation, he announced his adhesion to the Soviet government, but later an article by him published in a Paris (Russian) newspaper, criticising the return to a policy of repression, was tantamount to a withdrawal of this. He died at Clamart March 24, 1948.

Статьи времён первой мировой войны, от ура-патриотических до упаднических, с преобладанием темы "уникальности" России. Представляют интерес для формирования картины российского общества периода разрушения государства.
