The expectation of the Apocalypse is characteristic of Russia, he argued. Some associated the onset of the Russian Apocalypse with the intelligentsia, which, Merezhkovsky quotes them as saying, “hates Russia, is plotting to destroy it, and if it achieves its goals, then Russia will fall apart into many parts, and our Western enemies will rush, like kites, to the decaying the corpse of Russia and will doom it to the position of Western European colonies.” Others associated the beginning of the Apocalypse with revolutionaries who, according to Dostoevsky, “want to flood the world with blood”; others, like Herzen, saw the coming fall in the triumph of a crowd of united mediocrity, in the constant shallowness of life, the exclusion of universal human interests from it.
