Description

Pyotr Berngardovich Struve (1870-1944) was a brilliant representative of Russian intellectual culture of the late 19th and first half of the 20th century, a thinker, economist, philosopher and politician. A contemporary of all the Russian revolutions, P. B. Struve paid dearly for attaining historical truth. A notable feature of his works was the knowledge, personally outlived by him, of all the dark corners of Marxism, materialism and the godless communist system based on this ideology. Struve was the first to support the great reformer P. A. Stolypin in his struggle against the peasant commune for the sake of economic freedom of enterprise. Among Russian liberal society, he was the first person to clearly recognize himself as a Russian patriot and to preach patriotism. "We need a saving spiritual revolution, support for which we can draw only from our spiritual past, from the traditions of Holy Rus and Great Russia... We must understand that there can be no national spirit without kin, without tribe. Overcoming the revolution must consist in the Russian people ceasing to feel themselves without kin, in their casting off the foreign spiritual yoke into which the communists drove them..." (P. B. Struve).
