Abstract
The article analyses the discussion of empirio-criticism of 1908-1909 and its consequences for the Soviet project and socialism in general. The revision of Marxism from the standpoint of the second positivism of E. Mach and R. Avenarius, undertaken by the group of authors (A. A. Bogdanov, V. A. Bazarov, A. V. Lunacharsky, etc.), is considered as a productive attempt to develop an actual Marxist epistemology. The analysis of historiography suggests that the aggravation of the ideological conflict and the defeat of Bogdanov and his associates had no philosophical grounds but led to long-term negative consequences for the philosophy of knowledge in the USSR and throughout the socialist space.
