“With All the Strength of My Soul…” Review of Biographical Book “Svobody seyatel’ pustynnyj…” (“The Desert Sower of Freedom…”) about G. P. Fedotov by S. S. Bychkov

The review presents the book by Sergey Bychkov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, as a unique creative echo of the completed project for publication of the Collected Works of G. P. Fedotov in 12 volumes. The value of the book can be seen as an attempt to recreate as an attempt to recreate — as one whole thing — the life and creative path of one of the most prominent authors of Russian emigration, without falling into idealization, without avoiding sensitive issues of his personal spiritual and family life, as well as his often complex relationships with colleagues in the philosophical workshop. The book inherits Fedotov’s ability to provoke criticism for his uncompromising ideological position and painful assessments.
