About

A lecture on the "philosophical steamer" returns to the dramatic pages of 1922 and the fates of thinkers sent into exile. The history of the "philosophical steamer" has become a symbol of rupture and at the same time the beginning of a new path. In the autumn of 1922, philosophers, scientists, and cultural figures were expelled from the country; the journey through Germany on the ships "Oberburgomistr Haken" and "Prussia" turned into an image of forced exile and defined the new intellectual landscape of the 20th century. The lecture focuses on the fates and ideas of representatives of Russian thought in exile. Nikolai Berdyaev, Ivan Ilyin, Sergey Bulgakov, Nikolai Lossky, Pitirim Sorokin, Lev Karsavin - names that still provoke debate. The structure of the meeting combines a historical overview and analytical reading of fragments. The lecture will discuss the reasons for the expulsion of the intellectual elite, touching on themes of personal freedom and duty, society and state, and emigration as a school of self-reflection and worldview. Quotes and comments from contemporaries of those events will be heard. The lecture will detail facts, intellectual connections, and consequences for Russian and world culture.
