Abstract |
Having shown his talent as a prose fiction writer, V. Korolenko then left a significant mark in history as a public figure in the Populist movement [Narodnichestvo], the First World War, and the Russian revolutions. In his book “War, the Fatherland and Humanity” (1917), he provides a panorama of wars in the world’s historical process from the ancient past to the modern era. As an historian, sociologist, and philosopher in this book, V. Korolenko explores such categories as patriotism, internationalism, chauvinism, and nationalism. From a psychological and moral-ethical standpoint, he assesses governmental and social development in conditions of traumatizing mass conflict. His humanist approach permitted the writer-publicist to make such important, time-proven conclusions as “...war is getting more dreadful”, gaining a universal scale, in so much as, in a society that excludes equality, there are groups that benefit from militarism. V. Korolenko's apocalyptic forecast is effaced by his confidence in the power of the “law of mutual sympathy and love” that opposes evil. The moral-philosophical and socio-historical views of the writer deserve close attention, wide popularization, and further study in the face of environmental and humanitarian catastrophes that threaten humanity. The article’s authors have restored the history of the creation of “War, Fatherland and Humanity” and revealed the relevance of its humanistic meaning in society today; they have introduced archival materials from the Poltava Museum collections scholarly dissemination; and they have shared information about international cooperation in the field of Korolenko studies. |
