Two Ancient Cities Kief Not a Good Point for Studying Old Russian National Life Great Russians and Little Russians Moscow Easter Eve in the Kremlin Curious Custom Anecdote of the Emperor Nicholas Domiciliary Visits of the Iberian Madonna The Streets of Moscow Recent Changes in the Character of the City Vulgar Conception of the Slavophils Opinion Founded on Personal Acquaintance Slavophil Sentiment a Century Ago Origin and Development of the Slavophil Doctrine Slavophilism Essentially Muscovite The Panslavist Element The Slavophils and the Emancipation.
The Englishman, Astley, is utterly unreal, Paulina is impossible, and the Slavophil attacks on the French are rather pointless. Some of the characters are incomprehensible, but none of them lacks interest. Of all Dostoevski's novels, the one best known outside of Russia is, of course, "Crime and Punishment."
* This was one of the favourite themes of Khomiakof, the Slavophil poet and theologian. Deeply imbued with that romantic spirit which distorted all the intellectual activity of the time, the Slavophils often indulged in the wildest exaggerations, condemning everything foreign and praising everything Russian.
Sipiagin began by abusing Germans in general, then announced that he was somewhat of a Slavophil, though not a fanatic, and mentioned a certain young Russian, by the name of Solomin, who, it was said, had successfully established another mill belonging to a neighbouring merchant; he was very anxious to meet this Solomin.
The Poles, too, felt the oppressive hand of Pobiedonostzev. The latter was mastered by the Slavophil philosophy that the revolutionary unrest in Russia was traceable to the diversity of races, languages, and religions.
Alexander II. might have adopted this Slavophil idea and used the Zemski Sobor as a means of transition from pure autocracy to a more modern system of government, but he had no sooner created the Zemstvo than he thought it necessary, as we have seen, to clip its wings, and dispel its political ambition.
Sophia had not been replaced by the Cross; the Slavophil patriots were indignant that the "little brothers" had shown themselves unworthy of the generous efforts and sacrifices made on their behalf, and that a portion of the future Slav confederation had passed under the domination of Austria; and the Government recognised that the acquisition of the Straits must be indefinitely postponed.
The origin of the Slavophil sentiment, which must not be confounded with the Slavophil doctrine, is to be sought in the latter half of the seventeenth century, when the Tsars of Muscovy were introducing innovations in Church and State. These innovations were profoundly displeasing to the people.
I will remind you of something else: you said then that 'a man who was not orthodox could not be Russian." "I imagine that's a Slavophil idea." "The Slavophils of to-day disown it. Nowadays, people have grown cleverer. But you went further: you believed that Roman Catholicism was not Christianity; you asserted that Rome proclaimed Christ subject to the third temptation of the devil.
Shitov believes 'on principle, like a Moscow Slavophil. as for Christianity, for all my genuine respect for it, I'm not a Christian. I am more of an antique pagan, like the great Goethe, or like an ancient Greek. The very fact that Christianity has failed to understand woman is enough, as George Sand has so splendidly shown in one of her great 'novels.
