The article is an introduction to the first Russian translation of Max Scheler's essay “On Eastern and Western Christianity”, which was published in the collection of articles “War and Reconstruction” (1916) and thus forms part of Scheler's war philosophy. The article presents the polemical context of this essay and establishes a connection with Scheler's axiology and phenomenology as well. Particular attention is paid to the reception of F.M. Dostoevsky among German intellectuals of the early 20th century and the influence of this reception on Scheler's understanding of the ideas of salvation and suffering in the Eastern Church.
