This book discusses Marx’s relations with Russia, which have
always been ambivalent. In his youth, and indeed a good way into
the 1860s, Marx might even be called a “Russophobe.” Around
1870, however, his views on Russia undergo a change; he becomes
acquainted with a new kind of Russian radical and revolutionary
movement and begins to study Russian. It becomes clear that Marx
begins to feel that Russia is some kind of a “touchstone” for
his theories. Offering a new and original interpretation of
Marx’s theoretical development, Marx’s Russian Moment analyzes
the following themes: Marx’s concept of ideology (as developed in
the German Ideology) and its fortunes in Russia; Marx’s encounter
with Bakunin and Russian nihilism; Marx’s and Engels’s studies
of primitive societies; Engels’s views of the developmental
perspectives of small Slavic nations; and Marx’s views on
Finland, the Russian Grand Duchy. Considering these topics as
“case studies,” Oittinen argues that Marx’s encounter with
Russia substantially influenced Marx’s (and Engels’s) views not
just on current political and economic matters but also on a
philosophical and methodological level.
