Nikolai Chernyshevsky (1828-1889) is more important as a thinker than as a writer, but What Is To Be Done (Lenin’s favorite novel, and quite possibly the worse novel ever written, if we exclude novel-length things meant for beach reading) was one of the most influential, life-altering books in the history of Russian literature and culture.

'No work in modern literature, with the possible exception of Uncle Tom's Cabin, can compete with What Is to Be Done? in its effect on human lives and its power to make history. For Chernyshevsky's novel, far more than Marx's Capital, supplied the emotional dynamic that eventually went to make the Russian Revolution.'--Joseph Frank, The Southern Review

What Is To Be Done Pdf
Dear Reader, the criticism of this novel is that it is poorly written. I can assure you this is not the case. Chernyshevsky - indeed once a dear friend of mine (we spent some time together in the Fortress of Peter and Paul) - with a few initial 'striking scenes' comes right out and admits he's not trying to win you over with plot. Plot is grossly overrated anyhow; most modern 'authors' would be well served to learn that lesson (and why must a plot have this silly, redundant arc to it? You've see..more

This is the middle book in an important Russian literary and philisophical argument. The first was Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, and the third was Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground. All that stuff Dostoevsky is talking about in Notes - advantage motivating action, the crystal palace, etc. - comes from What is to be Done. Chernyshevsky thought Turgenev treated nihilism unfairly in Fathers and Sons, so he portrayed nihilism in another manner. Dostoevsky then destroyed Chernyshevsky's vision of an..more

If you want to understand the underpinnings of modern Russia and its recent history, you have to understand Nikolai Chernyshevsky. Lenin for one credits 'What is to be done' as the most influential book in the development of his social conscious, and without him no doubt the world would be a very different place than it is today. A must read.

An arrogant, feminist, and socialist revolutionist writer writes an unoriginal love novel in a highly provocative style. Throughout his novel, he - mockingly and repeatedly - addresses the majority of the Russian readers whom he perceives as “Ignorant people”, undoubtedly excluding the developed, educated, intelligent, and freed Russian - increasing - minority.

This is an interesting historical artifact because it was a huge influence on early Russian revolutionaries, particularly Lenin, but most people agree it's a pretty bad book. At least it's not overly long like most of Russian literature.

Last year, I read the abridged version of this while knowing so little of Russian history. I was taken in by Chernyshevsky's idealist thoughts. The unabridged has about 100 more pages & scenes that change the vibes of the story. At some point, it would be interesting to re-read the abridged one to see exactly which scenes were taken out. If you know of a blog or source that already did this, please link it below, I'd certainly be interested to check it out.

I’ve always thought that stories carry much more power in the minds of men than cardboard tomes full of equations. “What Is To Be Done,” juxtaposed against “The Communist Manifesto”; “Atlas Shrugged” against “Wealth of Nations”. It is said that “What Is To Be Done” is the book that radicalized Vladimir Lenin. Let that sink in for a moment; a simple (if long) novel about a young girl who wants find peace and a measure of prosperity and independence in Tsarist Russia is responsible for the extermi..more
I was expecting a lot from What is to be Done? naturally because of the buzz this book caused around its time. I can put it down finally with only mixed feelings about it. I suppose the book struck a chord loudly with those of its time, and as much as we present day 'readers with penetrating eyes' wish to be struck with the same impact I believe we can only pretend to be so. If a book is not written for you and only you, there's only so much you can take away from it. I don't resolve to pretend..more

For all this book’s issues as a novel (of which there are many), it gives insight into the 19th century political conditions, and its effect on the history of the 20th century can’t be underestimated. For me personally, reading it seemed to make my forays into Russian literature come full circle.

Interesting and tedious at the same time! Also, sad and funny. Chernechevsky's self-conscious narrator is enjoyable. He teases the reader by revealing the plot at different points. His being in conversation as we read is enjoyable. He is a feminist and his ideal relationships between men and women are still something to dream about--mutual respect, mutually important aspirations, a combination of selfishness and selflessness. His cooperative workplace, owned and managed by the workers is somethi..more

I've noticed quite a few positive reviews on What Is to be Done, which might give people who are interested in Russian literature the idea that this could be an interesting book to read. It is anything but. Now, for a historian this is an important source, because Chernyshevsky's ideas and especially the character of Rakhmetov have influenced Russian ideas on revolution, social change and what we now call Russian Nihilism more than any other piece of writing. However, Chernyshevsky's style is te..more
This book is where the modern feminist movement started, namely as a Marxist philosophy. Written by an author who wished he was his mother, the novel's narrator stands up for women in a way only a male feminist could conceive. The author wishes to play the good boy, the good son who worships his mother. The outcome is 100 million dead thanks to this bizarre psycho-socialism. This book influenced the leading cadre of the Russian revolutionary movement. V.I. Lenin would name a political pamphlet t..more
One of the most powerful books I have ever read. Wonderful, political, social, intellectual content here.Explains the concept of rational egoism impressively, with such a gripping 'Russian' storyline.

I thought rational egoism sounded a lot like the virtue of selfishness. I don't think the editors of this book mention Ayn Rand at all. I would have thought it might be a selling point.

I read it without knowing what it was about - ignoring the plot. I read it because other books drew me to it, more recently Crime and Punishment. It seems, fortunately, that the author does not want to pay too much attention to the plot. As the book (I read) says it, the ‘Aesopian’ style makes the plot just a means to the author’s intentions. On the surface the plot is simple, but when you think about it, it is precisely because of the different hidden messages. Anyway, I read it because I wante..more
Intended as an answer to Herzen's Who is to Blame?, Chernyshevsky's ponderous novel, What is to Be Done will test the patience of any modern reader. Its historical value is well known. Lenin thought much of it. Beyond this, the modern reader will likely view it as a work that might have been written by Jane Austin if she had read Karl Marx...and were Russian. Combine the novel of manners with a socialist blueprint and you get a special creation of tedium. As if you couldn't guess that, right?..more

At times this novel was extremely tiresome. Especially the many philosophical reflections by each of the main characters on their motives for their thoughts and actions were hard to digest, unrealistic and hard to empathize with.

He was the leader of the revolutionary democratic movement of the 1860s, and an influence on Vladimir Lenin, Emma Goldman, and Serbian political writer and socialist Svetozar Marković.

“But does it really help if a person doesn't realize what he lacks, or, if he does, he insists that he doesn't need it at all? That's an illusion, a fantasy. Human nature is stifled by reason, circumstances, and pride. It keeps silent and doesn't make itself known to one's consciousness, all the while silently doing its work of undermining life.” — 12 likes
