Georges Nlvat, Religious aspects of Russian atheists.
Russian atheism appeared suddenly without the stage of free-thinking and without being really prepared by "Voltairianism". In the 1860's, a generation of unbelieving fanatics springs up. Their bible, Chcmyshevskii's novel, Chto delat' ? (What is to be done?) is filled with biblical parables. A Russian atheist seems often to be a believer "upside down". Chekhov's story, "Na puti" (On the road) traces a portrait of this generation. Acceptance of Darwinism as "scientific faith" involves also religious characteristics. Better than others, Dostoevskii expressed the ambivalence of a Russian atheist who wants to "kill God". The article studies the case of Pryzhov, author of Russia of taverns, fierce exposer of obscurantist aspects of Orthodoxy of his time, one of the characters of Dostoevskii 's novel, Besy (The devils).
