Repieva, A. M. Social and Political Views of Vasily Bervi-Flerovsky In Terms of National Interests

Abstract: Active participation in socio-political life of the country as well as facts from his personal biography had a certain impact on Vasily Bervi-Florensky’s views. His views compromised his teaching about the theory of communism and dealt with the national and international aspects of the development of society. Almost all his life the philosopher has been trying to justify and improve the public education in Russia and prove to the society the need for building more schools. He also pointed out to the government that it was necessary to introduce the liberty of speech and to get rid of the censorship and other restrictions. Bervy-Flerovsky used to say that education was the most important factor of civilization development and progress and a necessary condition for the growth in labor effi ciency and increase in living standards. Bervi-Flerovsky also said that the country’s force is in the unity and friendship of all nations living in the territory of the country. The author of the article proves that the main grounds for development of the ‘revolutionary’ views of Bervi- Flerovsky were the historical reality, biographical facts and his own researches that were depicted in many works and publications aimed at condemnation of unjust social and political status of workers.
