Written as a response to the growing cultural schism between liberals of the 1830s - 1840s and the growing nihilist movement, Fathers & Sons parallels both the nihilists (the sons) and the 1830s liberals who sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with the conservative Slavophiles, who believed that Russia's path lay in its traditional spirituality.
