Nikolai Berdiaev (1874 – 1948) was one of Russia's best known religious philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a leading theoretician for the Russian Social Democratic Party. An article of his in 1913, criticising the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, earned him a charge of blasphemy, the punishment for which was exile to Siberia for life. The Revolution prevented the sentence from taking effect and he was allowed to continue writing and lecturing. Though, consequently, his dissatisfaction with the Bolsheviks' regime got him arrested several times and eventually resulted in his expulsion from Russia in 1922 on the so called "Philosophers' Ship" - a selected group of 160 prominent writers and intellectuals whose ideas the Bolshevik government found objectionable. In exile, first in Berlin and later in Paris, Berdiaev was editor in chief of the YMCA-Press, founder of the above-mentioned Russian Religious Philosophical Academy, and editor of the periodical Put’ (â€oeThe Way†) - to which the current pamphlet was published as a supplement. Georgii Fedotov, Vladimir Il'in, and Sergei Bulgakov were also prominent exiled theologians and philosophers who worked closely with Berdiaev in Paris. Ill.: 0. 2.
