Short description: Russian Symbolist art movement
Mystical anarchism was a tendency within the Russian Symbolist movement after 1906, especially between 1906 and late 1908. It was created and popularized by Georgy Chulkov.
In 1906, Chulkov edited Fakely (Torches), an anthology of Symbolist writing, which called on Russian writers to:
- abandon Symbolism and Decadence and move forward to "new mystical experience".[1]
Later in the year Chulkov followed up with a "Mystical Anarchism" manifesto.[2]
The doctrine has been described as:
- a mish-mash of Nietzsche, Herzen, Bakunin, Merezhkovsky (Chulkov was a former editor of New Path), Ibsen, Byron, utopian socialism, Tolstoy's Christian anarchism, and Dostoyevsky's rejection of necessity.[3]
