Summary/Abstract: The known Russian critic and publicist Dmitry Filosofov (1872-1940) since 1920 lived in Warsaw and was the leader of the Russian emigrant newspapers Svoboda (“Freedom”), Za Svobodu! (“For Freedom!”), Molva (“Rumour”), magazine and the newspaper Mech (“Sword”). He wrote a large quantity of articles on the political and other themes, which are weakly studied, until now. In this paper are analyzed texts by Filosofov of 1930-ies mainly published in the newspapers Molva and Mech. Specially is examined the motive of the failure, which occupied important place in the doctrine of emigrant activism. The concept of failure gave value to senseless fight against a communism and justified the personal failures of Dmitry Filosofov.
