Alexey Kozherev, Acting Dean of the Philosophical Faculty of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosova, the editor-in-chief of the magazine "OTTISK", especially for "Polylog. Expertise" - on the continuity of Russian thought, the Soviet philosophical school and the formation of an independent intellectual tradition: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3: Speaking of the fate of Russian philosophy, I would prefer the word "crisis" to the word "collapse". A crisis is always a trial, a review, a search for new ways. In the Soviet philosophical school they studied the classics and the primary sources. The students wrote detailed notes, something that is almost never written today. Even during the war, a three-volume history of Western philosophy, edited by Alexandrov, was published. This school was in many respects very good, including because there were still specialists with pre-revolutionary education. Alexey Fedorovich Losev completed his education in 1915 and died in 1988. Thanks to such classics, the transfer of thought took place. Today, when we talk about the contribution of Russian philosophy to world thought, we remember Losev and Bakhtin. If there was a complete collapse, a scorched field, an empty place, there would be no Vygotsky and Okhtomsky phenomena. No matter how difficult this path was, the transmission of the intellectual experience took place. There is another question - the secondary nature of Russian thought in relation to concepts that appeared in the West. Probably in some ways this is normal: philosophy was not born in Russia. It comes from Greece as a type of activity, a type of thinking. Just like Orthodoxy. We are that part of Europe that was created in the Greek, Byzantine and not Latin tradition. But the moment came when Russian philosophy could say about itself: our philosophy is Russian, and not German, French or Greek. It happened later than in literature. The golden age of Russian literature is Pushkin, the golden age of Russian philosophy is still the silver age. We have something to be proud of. But it wasn't reinventing the wheel from scratch.
