The article is a presentation of the views of three Russian thinkers (Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev, Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin, and Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov) on the problems of pain and suffering. The differences between their conceptions and those characteristic of Western philosophy and theology have been accentuated and the religious nature of their thinking, as well as their maximalist and lived-through approach to pain and suffering, have been emphasized. Their understanding of the phenomena in question has been discussed with a view to the way pain and suffering may be overcome by, respectively, God and by man.
