How did Lenin perceive Bogdanov?

  • As a confidant

  • As an ally

  • As a "Russian Machist"

  • As a mentor

Answer

Lenin regarded Bogdanov as a proponent of "Russian Machism", a philosophical position that misinterpreted and misapplied the teachings of the Austrian philosopher Ernst Mach. Lenin believed that Bogdanov's interpretation of Mach's ideas led to a form of subjective idealism and denied the objective reality of the material world, which Lenin saw as incompatible with Marxist principles.
