Leontiev, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Khomiakov, Solzhenitsyn
Who are some other great Russian conservatives?
Also, if you haven't read Laurus, I strongly suggest it. Christian novel set in the middle ages which gives a great perspective on the traditionalist conception of time ( eternalism), which is rejected by presentist liberals. It's an Orthodox novel, but it also features a saintly Roman Catholic with the gift of prophecy.
haha fuckyeah BASED conservative authors!
presentist liberals BTFO
add Lauren Southern and Alexander Dugin to your list OP!
...
Conservatism is literally lowest IQ ideology. Also Dostoevsky was not a conservative you retard
Why so much rectal anguish, friend?
He absolutely was when he got out of prison.
We have too much emphasis on IQ as a society and not enough on wisdom
>Dostoevsky was not a conservative you retard
I... What? Explain how you came to this conclusion.
Dostoevsky had absolutely zero love for the society of his day nor any wish to conserve much of it at all. Conservatism still ultimately embraces modernity which he had absolutely no commitment towards
That's a extremely awkward and strict definition of conservativism you have there.
Russian conservativism generally reject western thought, yeah. I think you might be conflating it with Burkean conservativism
t. soyboys
all the greatest authors in literature were right wing. lefties need to learn how to WRITE
Whether or not a conservative position is "right" or useful depends on the time and place. Claiming that a conservative disposition is either wrong or right per se is retarded as fuck.
It kinda helps that very few people prior to the 1900's could truly be considered anything but ultra-conservative by today's standards.
TS Eliot and Vladimir Nabokov were conservative by the standards of their time
>nor any wish to conserve much of it at all
Do you even Slavophil movement? A major concern of Dostoevsky was conserving slavic culture and religion in the face of corrosive western ideas
>wanting to conserve the way things are
Eliot was a fascist.
Nabokov was no conservative unless by that term you mean a liberal aesthete. Eliot sure was tho
>I think you might be conflating it with Burkean conservativism
Well of course I do when I see a fucking explicitly Burkean flag in the OP
Nope. Check out The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot
>great
>conservatives

Joking, they're good. Tolstoy is better than all of them though, and he's the ultimate leftist writer.
Nabokov supported Nixon and the Vietnam war
^^^^^
the whole point of notes from the underground was mocking european rationalism and the mainstream russian intellectuals obsessed with every idea coming from paris. id say also other great russian novelist often make their characters speak french/english in a way as to highlight their memetic state of cultural subjugation
>Gogol
What's so conservative about a man searching for his nose?
Yes, and Russell Kirk opposed Vietnam, and Nixon ended it. Conservative meant anti war until the neocons
The flag is what threw me off. I thought OP was discussing broad tent Anglo style Conservatism rather than a specific school of thought
Fuck off. It's well known that artist are left wingers.
>Nabokov was no conservative
He was a supporter of the Russian White Guard, Nabokov was a literal monarchist.
Not good artists so much
It's for classical conservativism which shares philosophy across the board such as eternalism, opposition to freethought, opposition to a grand ideology in favor of local custom, opposition to utilitarianism, belief in moral absolutes,etc
Ok, even then. He was shit anyway. So what if he was a conservative?
Thats a lot of information you're gleaming from an 18th century meme flag
the nose represents conservative values, user...
You can be both a monarchist and a liberal. Hobbes, for example. N was a liberal
I am not gleaming it from the flag, I was the one who force meme'd it to mean classical conservative the way libertarians forced the snake
Well you clearly have more work to do on that
The most influential Russian conservative is probably Ivan Ilyin, who is said to influence Putin's thought and actions.
Yes, I think a Latin motto for Continental conservative, and "Christ is Risen" in Church Slavonic for Slavic conservative.
And what does Akaky's dehumanizing job and the hostile and competitive environment in The Overcoat represent? Is it a critique of socialism, perhaps?
Gogol's conservativism is mainly in his letters, which he published during his lifetime
