Review of: Svetlana Klimova: Russian Intelligentsia in Search of an Identity (Between Dostoevsky’s Oppositions and Tolstoy’s Holism)
In 2021, Brill published a book written by Svetlana Klimova and titled Russian Intelligentsia in Search of an Identity (Between Dostoevsky’s Oppositions and Tolstoy’s Holism). The publication of this monograph has developed into quite an argument on her intriguing perspective on the archetypes of Russian intelligentsia. Klimova is well known in modern Russian studies, thanks to her fundamental works and research on the heritage of Russian philosophers and theologians. She is especially recognized for her writings on Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy’s ideas and works. In addition, she brought the heritage of Nikolai Strakhov to the academic community, which, in the past, was undeservedly given little attention in European and Russian academic philosophy studies. In the monograph, Klimova appoints Nikolai Strakhov as a kind of mediator between Dostoevsky and Tolstoy’s views.
