The Origin of Russian Communism
Истоки и смысл русского коммунизма
Published first in German and English (1937) and in Russian in 1955. It explains Bolshevism not merely as an import of Marxism but as a secularised transformation of Russian messianism — the Third Rome turned Third International — heir to the schism, to nihilism and to the populism of the intelligentsia. It is his most read book outside Russia.
