In the article is analyzed the dispute proceeding already more than century in Russian philosophy, which concerns correctness of using the violence. The polemic developed by I. Il'in concerning L. Tolstoy's doctrine about nonresistance to harm force, has found the ready response as from side N. Berdyaev, and other thinkers of the beginning of the last century. It was not finished even to our days, provoked still N. Makiavelli and I. Cant's creativity. The author, being based on scrupulous perusal of primary sources, aspires to place accents, being based on the concept of a humanistic policy.
