Русский философ сто лет спустя - к построению образа

Russian philosopher, who was exiled on a "philosophical steamship" and on a "philosophical steam locomotive" a hundred years ago by the Bolshevik government, is an attempt to correlate the image of a Russian philosopher in Russia who is ready to consider himself "Russian". The image of a modern Russian philosopher is built on the basis of published interviews, articles and monographs by a relatively small circle of authors whose status as philosophers in the Russian intellectual environment is not in doubt. The image obtained as a result of such selection can be defined as a very approximate "sketch" - almost a "cartoon", since the three main features of the modern "Russian philosopher" create a space of "absence" of proper "Russianness" and the property of "philosophicness". Such a result makes us raise the question of why a modern "Russian philosopher" (or at least one of the variants of such a philosopher) is self-determined by the negation of negation: denies not only the legacy of the passengers of the "philosophical steamship/steam locomotive", but also denies the legacy of "Soviet philosophy"? That is, he starts from the "zero mark" - from himself, promising the future and denying the past and present of Russian philosophy?
