Volynsky and the writer D. S. Merezhkovsky. Having known each other while studying at St. Petersburg University, they collaborated for ten years in the journal “Severny Vestnik,” which became an outpost of the struggle against ‘sociologism’ and positivism in the system of artistic thought. Both of them became forerunners of the Russian religious and philosophical renaissance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
