Alexander Radishchev, his life, work and fate. Historian Alexey Kuznetsov talks about Radishchev's exile, his ambition, archaic language and the influence of "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow". Also discussed are the reforms of Catherine II, Radishchev's life in exile and Herzen's role in popularizing his works. Why did Catherine II compare Radishchev and Pugachev? What does the ban on one book change? Can society improve without those who challenge the foundations? Why are ideas that seem progressive to us so often rejected by our contemporaries?
