Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev was born on March 18, 1874 in the Tartar metropolis Kazan, which is part of the modern-day Russian Federation. He was raised in an aristocratic military family. His works primarily revolve around issues of religion and politics - combining elements of Marxism with Christianity and existential philosophy.
Despite facing repeated exile and censorship for his criticisms against both the royalist and Marxist regimes of his time, Berdyaev continued to postulate his theories on a 'free theocracy' where human freedom could flourish untrammelled by the institutions of power. Berdyaev's principle works include 'The Philosophy of Freedom' and 'The Meaning of History.' He was a vigorous critic of the rational and theocratic tendencies in geopolitics. Nikolai Berdyaev died on March 24, 1948 in his adopted France.
