Vasiliy P. Egorshin (1898–1985) was a Soviet physicist and historian and philosopher of science. He worked as a professor of physics at Moscow State University, and specialized in the history of astronomy from a dialectical materialist point of view. A co-author with Hessen on several articles in the late 1920s, by the 1930s, Egorshin became one of Hessen’s major opponents, accusing him of “anti-Marxism,” “idealism” and “Menshevism” (Josephson 1991, 208; Korsakov, et al. 2015, 90–91) [TN].
