Nikolay Neplyuyev’s Views in the Context of Neo-Slavophilism in the Second Half of the XIX – the Early XX Century

Abstract

The article concerns Nikolay Neplyuyev’s (1851–1908) project of the Labour Brotherhood in the context of the Neo-Slavophiles’ history in the second half of the XIX – the early XX century. Neplyuyev, a Christian socialist, aimed at solving the pressing socioeconomic, religious and ethical issues of the time. This implied a radical reorganisation of the social, economic and spiritual structure of the society. Neplyuyev called the path towards his social ideal a “peaceful progress” or a “peaceful upheaval”. These notions could be regarded as a counterpart of the Tolstoyan idea of nonviolent revolution emerged in the early XX century.
