Maksimov's lofty moral stance, often making him come across as a didactic moralizer, his harsh realism and ideological tendentiousness (with his great sympathy for 'the downtrodden', dismissal of the notion of 'success' and hatred for those complacent and righteous 'at the top') made some critics recognize his legacy as an amalgam of both Fyodor Dostoyevsky's and Maxim Gorky's literary traditions. The major point of Maksimov the publicist has always been to highlight the hypocrisy of the ideologies, first the Soviet, then the post-Soviet, cod-liberal one, as well as the whole set of Western 'democratic' values. According to Krugosvet, "some saw him even as a kind of a new Protopope Avvakum with his idea of fighting for Russia and Russianness, as being continually threatened by the hateful Western civilization." In 1979, the works by Maksimov were published in Frankfurt by the Posev Publishers.
