Konstantin Nikolaevich Leontiev (1831-1891) was a prominent Russian conservative publicist and statist, advocating for closer cultural ties between Russia and the East and opposing what he considered the catastrophic egalitarianism and utilitarian influences of the West. Leontiev saw Western civilization in deep crisis and that Russian society had no need to adopt its liberal democratic institutions. He believed that state and public life in the Russian Empire should be based on "Byzantinism"—a firm autocratic rule, strict church observance, and a rigid class-based, hierarchical division of society. This collection of selected works, compiled by Leontiev and first published in Moscow in 1885-1886, remains relevant today. This edition concludes with the article “The Disillusioned Slavophile” by the prominent religious philosopher Sergei Nikolaevich Trubetskoy (1861-1905), which explores the dynamics and some paradoxical contradictions of K.N. Leontiev.
