Landmarks Revisited: The Vekhi Symposium One Hundred Years On - Cultural Revolutions: Russia in the Twentieth Century Aizlewood, Robin (School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London, Uk)

The symposium entitled Vekhi , or Landmarks, 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. Its fame persists until today not least because the volume has been deemed by many in Russia and the West to have proven prophetic in its prediction (and urgent warning) that the realisation of the intelligentsia's platform would bring ruin upon Russia.
