Abstract
Evgeniy Dmitrievich Maximov is one of the few «old» Russian populists who were destined to live to 1917 and remain faithful to the ideals of his youth. This article highlights the main landmarks of his life and work during the first «revolutionary» decade: from participation in the leadership of the cooperative movement in Petrograd- Leningrad to teaching in higher educational institutions of the former capital. The article establishes Maximov’s attitude to the overthrow of the autocracy in Russia and the rise to power of the Bolsheviks, to the confrontation between the Reds and Whites, to the ways of building socialism and the role of the artel traditions of the Russian people in this. In conclusion, the article summarizes the main results of Maximov’s cultural and educational activities.
