A prominent literary theorist. For the 100th anniversary of the birth of G. V. Plehanov

Every anniversary marked on the calendar implies some new expression of respect for the work that has left its mark on human history. But while this is sometimes due to the simple similarity between dates, the centenary of G. V. Plekhanov's birth has a different, very different meaning. Widely celebrated by the Soviet and progressive world community, this anniversary fully confirmed the recent desire to boldly master and more fairly reevaluate Plekhanov's philosophical and aesthetic legacy.
