Oswald Spengler on Tolstoy - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 117
Tolstoy/Spengler: In Dostoevsky Spengler saw the actual proclaimer of a new world era to come: "Tolstoy is the past, Dostoevsky the Russia to come. […] Christianity in Tolstoy was a misunderstanding. He spoke of Christ and meant Marx. The next millennium belongs to Dostoyevsky's Christianity".(1)
