Philosophical Sobor

Five points on which Maxim based in the Scriptures

I would like to say a few words about my memories of getting to know Maxim and about how I met him.  As it is now customary – via Telegram. People often subscribe to each other's channels and read them. This happened long before the special operation, in 2020 or 2021. I came across Maxim's channel while browsing through patriotic channels that write about Donbass.

The Great Russian Rectification of format or genre, of which Maxim Fomin was the petrel, is the second concept I'd like to discuss. Recently, in a dialog with someone, I came to the conclusion that the language of tradition, the format of transmitting the fundamentals of traditional society, must necessarily be changed. For example, a person can be a believer and a philosopher, and they can gratefully accept what they has inherited from their ancestors. But unless they are open to society, they cannot share this knowledge.

Beyond the Line: The Meaning of Female Patriotism in the Recent Era

Beyond the Line: The Meaning of Female Patriotism in the Recent Era

At our Philosophical Sobor meetings we have discussed the philosophy of the Russian idea, historiosophy, problems of modern Russian ideology and philosophy. Today we are discussing female patriotism. As a matter of fact, this topic fits into the general concept of the Philosophical Sobor and the Great Russian Rectification of Names. The concept of "woman" and woman as a person are widely debated these days. These controversies concern both the social role of women and the female philosophy. It is necessary to begin the work of rectifying the way women are perceived and of debunking some stereotypes about women in the Tradition and outside of it.

I was not a member of the militia myself. We started humanitarian work back in May 2014, and then two of my colleagues went to war. Alexey Markov, commander of the "Ghosts" battalion, was tragically killed in a car accident, and Pyotr (his code name "Arkadievich") resigned from his post as commander of the 4th brigade of the People's Militia of the LPR last year due to health issues.

It's a great honor for me to participate in this discussion. I'm not a philosopher, and in a way I'm as ignorant about it as any ordinary poet. I'm kidding, of course. I'm going to share my observations. They are in line with the thoughts and ideas that Alexander Dugin has just formulated. Alexander Gel'evich, I have great respect for your works and for your daughter Daria's ideas.

Christian Materialism and the Unity of Russian History

Christian Materialism and the Unity of Russian History

My report aims to combine three stages of Russian history: the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and modern Russia. There has been a lot of discussion about this over the last 9 months, and, in fact, over the last 20 years. Lances have been broken but no consensus has been reached. The Reds (the Communists were commonly called the Reds during the Soviet period) continue to hate everything that has to do with religion and the state. The Whites (those who supported the Tsar and Imperial Russia after the Revolution of 1917) continue to hate everything related to the Soviet Union and the people who lived there.
