In this âsearching intellectual history of modern Russiaâ (Kirkus), Lesley Chamberlain finds that during the last two centuries Russian intellectuals have asked two fundamental questions: âwhat makes a good man?â and âwhat is the right way to live?â
In their attempts to answer these questions, these thinkers neglected the role of the individual, prioritizing instead the need to end injustice and autocracy.
