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.

"Galileo of modern aesthetics!" (A. Richards), "a seer, a teacher who sheds light on life" (J. Mackail), the founder of many modern artistic and literary trends... For our reader, these definitions of the English romantic poet S. T. Coleridge sound strange and lofty. Some bourgeois literary critics also accept that they are lofty, but what is their subtext, what is the reason for bourgeois literary criticism's fascination with Coleridge, and whether he can only be a "progenitor" of the Neoplatonists, the intuitionists, the Freudians, the "stream of consciousness" - this is still a question that Marxist literary criticism has not answered exhaustively.
