Pavlov Yushkevich

Pavlov Solomonovich Yushkevich (Russian: Павел Соломонович Юшкевич) (29 June 1873 in Odessa – December 6, 1945 in Moscow) was a Russian philosopher.[1] He was a Menshevik activist and participated as one of the Russian machists in Studies in the Philosophy of Marxism in 1908. This publication prompted criticism in Lenin's Materialism and Empirio-criticism. By the 1920s Yushkevich abandoned political activities and worked at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow from 1922.

Early Years

He attended Odessa High School, where he became active in a Marx study circle.[1] However he was arrested and jailed before being sent to exile in Kishinev, where he showed particular interest in mathematics. He went into exile in France and continued his studies at the Sorbonne, Paris. Upon graduation he returned to Odessa where he became a journalist.
