Abstract

The relationship between the "Landmarks people" and the Eurasians is part of the general problem of the continuity and self-definition of the most important currents of Russian philosophy in emigration. Neither of these currents has been scientifically studied, although it is difficult to imagine how the fundamentals of Eurasianism can be presented in a manner that is at all satisfactory without a careful clarification of the correctness or incorrectness of certain well-known statements by its representatives P.N. Savitskii and G.V. Florovskii concerning the intimate bond between this current and the ideas of the prerevolutionary Landmarks philosophy. In the early 1920s, the demand for new heirs of Landmarks in emigration was still quite considerable, and the Eurasians and the "Change of Landmarks" people were not the only ones to lay claim to this succession. However, only the appearance abroad in 1922 of N.A. Berdyaev, S.N. Bulgakov, and S.L. Frank themselves, and the return of P.B. Struve to publishing activity, made clear to what extent they remained faithful to their former preachings and whom they saw as their pupils.
