Vekhovstvo (vekhovtsy) was a philosophical and socio–political trend in the Russian intellectual environment at the beginning of the 20th century that received its name from the programmatic collection Vekhi (1909). The initiator of the publication of Vekhi was Mikhail Gershenzon.
Among the authors of the collection were four former Marxists: Nikolai Berdyaev, Sergei Bulgakov, Peter Struve, and Semyon Frank, who took a position of Christian religiosity, rejecting Marxism as a purely economic doctrine that does not answer the fundamental questions of human existence.
