This 1970 monograph is a significant milestone in Soviet Indology, published by the "Nauka" Oriental Literature Department during a period of deepening diplomatic and cultural ties between the USSR and India. Oleg Martyshin, a distinguished legal scholar and historian, provides one of the first comprehensive Marxist-Leninist analyses of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology that attempts to balance ideological critique with a profound respect for Gandhi's historical role.
The work explores the core pillars of Gandhism: Satyagraha (truth-force/non-violent resistance), Swaraj (self-rule), and Sarvodaya (universal uplift). Martyshin situates these concepts within the unique socio-economic landscape of colonial India, examining how Gandhi successfully mobilized the masses through a synthesis of traditional Hindu ethics and modern political activism.
The book is particularly noted for its objective assessment of Gandhi's "reactionary" vs. "progressive" elements—a hallmark of Soviet academic discourse of the era—analyzing his rejection of industrialization and his vision of a village-based economy. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources and international scholarship, Martyshin’s study remains a foundational text for researchers of the Indian independence movement, political philosophy, and the complex intellectual history of 20th-century anti-colonialism.
