Biography of Viktor Trosnikov

The community “in the Russian direction” on July 14, the reeds Vladimir Vinnikov in a retrospective life of Viktor Nikolayevich Trosnikov on September 14 - September 29 seems obvious to God. The way, to the line - for the most part hidden, internal, mysterious, and then - is already partly visible, embodied outside the words written and spoken. Moreover, this did not come down to leisure for conversations in kitchens or in smokers, but at first it became part of the scandalous writer's almanac "Metropol", and then the book of the Parisian publishing house Ymca-Press.

But he did not refuse his spiritual searches. And this search led him to Orthodoxy, to the Russian Orthodox Church. The path turned out to be insane and difficult.

This can be judged, for example, by the "dismissal" already mentioned above, which approved the thesis of the "non -being" of Soviet society as a mass self -deception, through which millions of "people of a new type" try to deceive everyone, even "cosmic laws", that is, the laws of the universe. But Viktor Trosnikov deduced this "non -being" as a special case of "non -being" of the modern scientific worldview as a whole.

In the West, they could accept and maintain criticism by the Soviet mathematician of Soviet society from the standpoint of "being", but not criticism of science as a worldview. However, in a fleeting gap “one can“ impossible ”between two - Soviet and post -Soviet, pro -Western - it was definitely published at the end of the year, already at the end of the Gorbachev perestroika, the New World magazine of one million six thousand copies!

Thus, rejecting the thesis about the separation of scientific knowledge and religious faith as the fundamental foundation of Western liberalism, Viktor Trosnikov closed the imaginary "market paradise". Much later, in the book “Having a Life, we returned to death” he will write: “For too long we amused ourselves with a expectation of a bright future: in the West we believed that he would be ensured by scientific and technological progress and the development of liberal democracy, and in Russia relied on the construction of communism.” It is no coincidence that these words echo with the ideas of Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich, an outstanding mathematician and thinker, who designated socialism and capitalism for humanity as "two roads to one cliff." Probably, it will not be a mistake to say that Viktor Nikolaevich Trosnikov all his life, by all deeds and thoughts, strove for being, for the “fullness of being”, which he understood as “actual infinity”, accessible to man through “national feeling, land and religion”, that is, community with his people, community with nature and community with God.

Actually, all his books, including such as “Earthly and Heavenly”, “God in Russian History”, “To be Russians, is our fate,” an attempt to comprehend such being and reaching it. It is worth noting that initially this impulse at Viktor Nikolaevich was given so much - he was mainly intellectual, and this allows us to draw a certain metaphorical parallel of his life and creativity with a well -known definition of the French scientist and thinker of the 17th century Bleza Pascal: “Man is just a reed, the weakest of nature creation, but he is a fan of a thinking” in a poetic interpretation of F.
