The Renaissance of Russia. On the National Leader and Spiritual Renewal

Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin (1883 – 1954) – a Russian philosopher and publicist, predicted back in the middle of the last century that after the fall of "totalitarian communism" in Russia, a period of inevitable chaos and a lethal Western liberalism,... uncharacteristic of it, would begin. But the "decaying democracy" will not last long – "honest patriots" will take power in the state. The main thing, Ilyin said, is to develop a "healthy national-patriotic feeling, without which no nation can affirm its existence or create its culture." Read in the book, which brings together selected works of the most famous domestic philosopher, about what the national leader of Russia should be like and how its spiritual renewal, which will save the country from disintegration, will take place.
