Abstract
The article discusses a relatively obscure but significant aspect of work of the Russian and Soviet thinker Alexander Bogdanov—his science fiction novels. The author points out that, using the form of the utopian novel, Bogdanov has set forth his vision of the future society, in which not only Marxist ideas but also Bogdanov’s own original concepts (such as bogostroitelstvo, lit. “God-Building,” and Proletkult, i.e., proletarian culture) found expression. In addition, the author provides a brief survey of the history of the utopian genre in Russian literature. This genre is analyzed in the context of how the concepts of “justice” and “order” were understood in various works belonging to it, including Alexander Bogdanov’s books.
