The article discusses a question of genesis of the fundamental “History of Russian Philosophy” by V.V. Zenkovsky. The author points out that one of the most meaningful factors (but not the only one) in that was the creating in 1910 of a group named “Put’” (“The Path”), devoted to the religious philosophy, and also creating of the interna-tional philosophy journal “Logos” — as well as the controversy about specific charac-ter and ways of development of Russian philosophy between V.F. Ern (“Put’ ”) from the one side, and B.V. Yakovenko, S.I. Gessen, F.A. Stepun (“Logos”) and S.L. Frank from the other. One can easily find signs of that controversy on the pages of famous work of Zenkovsky, though the main cause of appearance of this book was the Russian philoso-phy itself, an existence of which in all its peculiarity and significance became obvious in the middle of the XXth century.
