The symposium entitled 'Vekhi', or Landmarks, is one of the most
famous publications in Russian intellectual and political history.
Its fame rests on the critique it offers of the phenomenon of the
Russian intelligentsia. It was published in 1909, under the
editorship of Mikhail Gershenzon, as a polemical response to the
revolution of 1905, the failed outcome of which was deemed by all
the Landmarks contributors to exemplify and illuminate fatal
philosophical, political, and psychological flaws in the
revolutionary intelligentsia that had sought it. Its fame persists
until today not least because the volume has been deemed by many in
Russia and the West to have proven prophetic in its prediction (and
urgent warning) that the realization of the intelligentsia's
platform would bring ruin upon Russia. More than any other text,
its republication in 1991 symbolically heralded the end of the
ideological hegemony of Marxist-Leninism in the Soviet Union.
