 | | The greatest Russian thinkers of the 19th century, including Petr Chaadaev, Alexander Herzen, Mikhail Bakunin, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vladimir Soloviev, Konstantin Leontiev, Leo Tolstoi, and Nikolai Fedorov, were writers, journalists, critics, politicians, librarians, not university professors and academic scholars. |
 | | Another self-styled prophet, Dmitry Merezhkovsky, was greeted coldly and even with an undertone of hostility, perhaps because his revolutionary rhetoric and messianic proclamation of a new religion of the Third Testament placed him in direct opposition to the official Orthodox Church. |
 | | Nikolai Lossky and Semyon Frank attracted respect, but not too much excitement, since their writings, in particular those devoted to the theory of knowledge, are elaborated in a technically philosophical language and are restrained in their ideological and eschatological claims, which tend to appeal to a wider audience. |
