Trubetskoi, Evgenii Nikolaevich (1863–1920)

Prince Evgenii Nikolaevich Trubetskoi was a prominent philosopher of law known also for his works on Solov’ëv, Kant, Nietzsche, ethics and religion (including Russian Orthodox iconography). Personally and philosophically very close to Solov’ëv, he was recognized as the most important commentator on the older philosopher’s work in the early twentieth century. He was a staunch Russian patriot, devoutly Orthodox, active in various political, cultural and religious organizations aimed at maintaining the Russian way of life threatened first by the First World War and then by the Bolshevik revolution.
