The Grand Inquisitor
Великий Инквизитор

An essay on the legend in The Brothers Karamazov: the Inquisitor embodies the temptation to give man happiness in exchange for his freedom, a temptation Berdyaev recognises in both the authoritarian Church and socialism. It is the core of his reading of Dostoevsky.
