Abstract

In Russian culture, much is based on silence and the acceptance of the unspoken as the primary, which determines everything. One of the most significant aspects is the Russian true, which differs from truth, justice, and law. The search for truth becomes a metaphysical marker that subtly influences every individual’s and society’s choices. This article aims to explore the philosophical aspects of the search for the Russian truth. There are significant moments in the understanding of this topic by F. M. Dostoevsky, P. A. Florensky, V. V. Rozanov, and others. V. V. Bibikhin’s concept of understanding Russian truth is particularly important. An important aspect is the difference in the perception of truth by an individual and a person who views their life through the lens of their family and the integrity of their people. Another significant aspect of understanding truth is the connection between the metric and the topological dimensions, which reveals both their relationship and their contrast in the perception of truth by the Russian people and the Russians. The persistence of contradictions in the understanding of truth can be seen as a consequence of reducing the metaphysical and ontological dimensions of life to individual life scenarios and conditions. The phenomenon of truth reveals its significance primarily in the realization of human and national life. This has particular importance for understanding the foundations of Russian life, history, and culture. This article may be of interest to cultural philosophers, cultural studies scholars, and anthropologists
