The concept of “pink Christianity” by K. Leontiev: misunderstood prophecy

The article gives a brief analysis of the main “prophetic” idea of K. N. Leontiev - his concept of “pink Christianity”, and the “purification” of this idea from false interpretations. In addition, it is shown that F. M. Dostoevsky as an artist was also a denouncer of “pink Christianity”, although he paid “tribute” to him as a publicist. K. N. Leontiev was characterized by biblical patristic thinking, incomprehensible to his contemporaries. This was the reason for the rejection of his ideas, and their later extremely distorted interpretation. The author gives an existential analysis of the phenomenon of “pink Christianity” as an early, transitional form to the future “religion of the Antichrist”.
