ReviewsThis book is calm, balanced, immensely scholarly and built upon a really profound knowledge both of what Communism is today and how for a hundred years past it has developed. Berdyaev has no illusions about it. Himself a convinced and devout Christian, he knows and states over and over again that Communism cannot possibly make any terms with Christianity, but is bound to seek its destruction. Yet he gives no impression at any point of losing the calm and lucid statement with which he judges it." -Canon Roger Lloyd, The Observer "Berdyaev tells us more about Russia in a chapter than most writers do in a book." - The News Chronicle "He has an amazing insight into the social and religious currents which have determined his country's historical destiny . . . and from him much may be learned of the Russian mentality." -Evgeny Lampert, Modern Christian Revolutionaries edited by Donald Attwater

SynopsisNicolas Berdyaev's The Origin of Russian Communism is a pivotal work that delves into the dual nature of Russian Communism--both international and distinctly Russian. Berdyaev emphasizes the importance of understanding the national roots of Russian Communism, shaped by Russia's tumultuous history and Eastern spiritual makeup. The book navigates through the formation of the Russian intelligentsia, Russian socialism and nihilism, narodnichestvo and anarchism, and 19th-century literature's predictions. Key sections of the work explore the dynamics between classical Marxism, Russian Marxism, and the revolution, as well as the intricate relationship between communism and Christianity. Through an in-depth analysis, Berdyaev illustrates how Russian history, characterized by its vast territory and cultural complexities, influenced the development of a unique form of communism intertwined with ideological, religious, and nationalistic elements., An analysis of the political, social, cultural, and religious trends in recent Russian history which influenced soviet ideology.
