Description
Konstantin Leontiev's life and ideas are the subject of this comprehensive study. Glenn Cronin explores Leontiev's diverse career as novelist, army doctor, diplomat, journalist, censor, and ordained monk, as well as his sociopolitical writings and theory on the rise and fall of cultures and civilizations. Cronin examines Leontiev's creative work, including notable figures such as Belinsky, Turgenev, Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, alongside his sociopolitical writing. He also delves into Leontiev's religious views, informed by his experiences in monastic communities and his late attraction to Roman Catholicism. The book concludes with a review of Leontiev's prophetic vision for the twentieth century, including his conviction that socialism would triumph under a new Constantine the Great. This study sheds light on Leontiev's legacy, particularly in relation to Joseph Stalin's rise to power.
