The Vekhi (Landmarks) symposium (1909) is one of the most famous
publications in Russian intellectual and political history. Its fame
rests on the critique it offers of the phenomenon of the Russian
intelligentsia in the period of crisis that led to the 1917 Russian
Revolution. It was published as a polemical response to the revolution
of 1905, the failed outcome of which was deemed by all the Vekhi
contributors to exemplify and illuminate fatal philosophical, political,
and psychological flaws in the revolutionary intelligentsia that had
sought it. Landmarks Revisited offers a new and comprehensive assessment
of the symposium and its legacy from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives by leading scholars in their fields. It will be of
compelling interest to all students of Russian history, politics, and
culture, and the impact of these on the wider world.
