Berdyayev qeestion

[Jules Levin]

Dear Seelangers,
To settle a bar bet (joke), I am trying to find out to what extent one 
can characterize Nik. Berdyayev as either/both a Marxist philosopher 
or/and an Orthodox believer.  Judging from his Wiki bio, one could say 
both, but not simultaneously.   Is this reasonable?
   However, the Wiki article offered this intriguing statement: "

Russian PremierVladimir Putin 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin>has instructed his regional 
governors to read Berdyaev's 'The Philosophy of Inequality'."
    Is this work available on line?
  What about it would cause Putin (?!) to want his governors to read it?
