徐志摩与胡适的苏俄之争

1925年和1926年,徐志摩与胡适这两位自由派知识分子好友先后游历莫斯科。莫斯科之旅使他们发生了深刻的思想逆转:徐因苏俄之梦的幻灭而回归自由主义,胡则激赏新俄“伟大的政治新试验”而引起“新的兴奋”。由此,徐胡之间发生了一场关于苏俄问题的论争。徐对俄罗斯文化的“吊古”情愫体现了他的诗人本色,而胡对新俄政治新试验的欣赏则体现了他的“士大夫”性格。胡徐苏俄观的分歧表征着自由知识分子深刻的思想冲突。在这场思想论争中,诗人徐志摩成为古典自由主义原则的守护者,而作为中国自由派知识分子精神领袖的胡适,则因心仪莫斯科新政而成为苏俄革命的同情者。胡徐围绕苏俄问题的歧争是20世纪前期中国思想史上一个饶有意味的事件。
