In those years, nihilism and nihilists constituted the main literary and social issue that concerned novelists, literary critics, and readers in Russia. The concept of nihilism, and its origins in German philosophy, became a synonym for radical skepticism and the perplexity of metaphysics. As nihilism spread in Russia it gave birth to a new sub-genre of the European novel: the nihilist novel at whose core is a young protagonist who rejects the conventional views in all aspects of life, including religion, science, politics, and art. These literary characters\u2014such as Bazarov in\u00a0<em>Fathers and Sons<\/em>\u00a0by Ivan S. Turgenev, the protagonists of\u00a0<em>What Is to Be Done?<\/em>\u00a0By Nikolai G. Chernishevsky, and Raskolnikov in\u00a0<em>Crime and Punishment<\/em>\u00a0by Fyodor M. Dostoevsky\u2014rapidly became cultural icons. Through the mediation of literary criticism, nihilism spread from literature to historical reality and even had a decisive influence on the disintegration of the social and political systems. Nihilism in Russian literature is, therefore, not only a subject for literary scholarship, but also for research on the intellectual and cultural history of Russia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dr. Rafi Tsirkin-Sadan is a fellow of the Israeli Inter-University Academic Partnership in Russian and East European Studies and of Da\u2019at Makom\u2014an Israeli Center of Research Excellence (I-CORE)\u00a0for the Study of\u00a0Cultures of Place\u00a0in Jewish Modernity.
