Konstantin Krylov is one of the intellectual leaders of the Russian “new right”. A consistent Russian nationalist, a radical critic of Russian political and cultural reality - and a brilliant publicist and writer, whose work became one of the most striking phenomena in the spiritual life of Russia at the beginning of the new century. The collection contains texts devoted to culture in its broadest sense - from reviews and literary reviews and ending with obituaries. The author manages to combine extreme topicality with depth of thought and an appeal to the “ultimate questions” of human existence.
