Abstract. The article considers attitude to truth as a philosophical category characteristic for the Russian thought of the XIX century. As an example, the researcher examines N. F. Fyodorov’s doctrine, this aspect of his philosophy has not previously attracted researchers’ attention. The paper justifies the thesis that Fyodorov’s attitude to truth is largely practical, being axiological (ethical) in its essence. This conclusion is justified by the fact that theoretical interests in his teaching are opposed to ethical ones, involving memory of departed ancestors and resurrection of past generations. It is shown that for N. F. Fyodorov, synthesis of science, religion and philosophy is a necessary prerequisite and condition for truth. The paper justifies relevance of such an interpretation of truth for modern culture, in which ontological and ethical understanding of truth is lost.
