Abstract:
The article examines the publishing activities of M. Gorky in 1910–1920 and argues that it manifested the influence of the philosophy of A. Bogdanov (Malinovsky). In contrast to the belief established in Gorky’s study that the interest in Bogdanov’s philosophy was a brief period of Gorky’s life, we can observe that the concept of “unity of experience” became significant for the writer and influenced his journal projects “Chronicle” and “Conversation”. However, these journals are separated not only by different decades of publication, but also by fundamentally different socio-historical conditions. At the same time, one can trace a certain correlation between these Gorky diaries from different eras.
