In 2025, the thinker and editor-in-chief of the almanac Second Navigation, Mikhail Blumenkrantz, published a collection of philosophical essays titled The Time of Anti-History. It became one of the landmark events in the Russian-speaking intellectual environment. In essence, this book is a deep and multi-layered guide to the key prob-
lems of contemporary civilization. It consists of five main chapters. The first chapter, “Metaphysics of the Modern Cultural Landscape,” presents the theoretical and methodological foundations for analyzing the current state of culture. In the second chapter, “The World after the Death of Things,” the author offers an analysis of the
internal processes of contemporary society. He examines the phenomenology of consumption and its impact on the individual.
