Khomiakov crops up in practically everything written on Slavophilism, especially when the discussion touches on sociophilosophical problems. But one thing here is odd. Most authors, in dealing with Khomiakov's analysis of universal history, touch barely in passing on his capital (and unfortunately incomplete) work Notes on Universal History [Zapiski o vsemirnoi istorii], although in volume it makes up almost half of his collected works. Although this text has been little studied, it is sometimes characterized very harshly. In the words of one scholar, Khomiakov attempted in it to \"marshal the data of religion and linguistics on behalf of fanciful conceptions that, pathetically, amounted to only a few pet notions about the triumph of Slavic orthodoxy.\"1 After such an unequivocal assessment, is it worthwhile digging about in the old rubbish and wasting time? On first glance the volume of Khomiakov's Notes is indeed a peculiar work.

Although delayed for a quarter of a century, it quickly found a stable place in our life as soon as it was published [for the first publication of the novel see: Moskva, 1966, no. 11; 1967, no. 1]. It is usually classified as a satirical philosophical novel. The satirical element puts it in the same family as such well-known works of the end of the '20s as the novels of I. Il'f and E. Petrov, Twelve Chairs [Dvenadtsat' stul'ev] and The Golden Calf [Zolotoi telenok], but its emphatically philosophical orientation makes it all but a unique phenomenon in the history of Soviet literature. The novel's philosophical aspects have already been examined in a number of essays. Thus, for example, N. P.

A profound intellectual conviction, the greatest political and moral responsibility for the fate of the country, and an unwavering observance of the Leninist ethics of Bolshevism are the demands now being placed on all Soviet people, but with special urgency on Party members. A concern for the moral purity and honesty of Communists is the prime duty of a Party organization. The Party calls for a most merciless struggle against accommodators, careerists, and opportunists, and against protectionism, family favoritism, nepotism, and promotion of workers on the basis of hometownism and personal loyalty.
