Pashkina E.G. Self-consciousness of the “Order of the Russian Intelligentsia” (based on the materials of Russian emigration journal “Noviy Grad”)

Abstract: The “Noviy Grad” journal was published in Paris from 1931 to 1939, and it was a publication that reflected the views of Fedotov G.P. (1886-1951), Berdyaev N.A. (1874-1948), Stepun F.A. (1884-1965) and many other leading thinkers of the emigration. The journal was financed by the American protestant organization YMCA (Young Men Christian Association). Many authors of the journal were members of the Order of the Russian intelligentsia, they believed in fate of Russia. In an effort to reestablish the Order, the “Noviy Grad” members dreamed of a victory over the Bolsheviks, relying on the Soviet intelligentsia, who, joining the culture of the Order, eventually had to gain self-awareness of the elite and take the path of fighting against the Bolsheviks, undermining the spiritual foundations of the Soviet system with various ideological currents of emigration.
