Pochvennichestvo (/ˈpɒtʃvɛnɪtʃɛstvoʊ/; Russian: Почвенничество, IPA: [ˈpot͡ɕvʲɪnnʲɪt͡ɕɪstvə], roughly "return to the native soil", from почва "soil") was a late 19th-century movement in Russia that tied in closely with its contemporary ideology, Slavophilia.
History
The Slavophiles and the Pochvennichestvo supported the complete
Marxist movements of the time. Their primary focus was to change Russian society by the humbling of the self and social reform through the Russian Orthodox Church, rather than the radical implementations of the intelligentsia
.
The major differences between the Slavophiles and the Pochvennichestvo were that the former detested the Westernisation policies of
antisemitic

The movement had its roots in the works of the German philosopher
Konstantin Leontyev
