Russian Cosmism by Boris Groys
A concise intellectual history that traces a distinctly Russian strand of thought linking religion, science and art around the aspiration to overcome death and colonize the cosmos, arguing that the desire for physical immortality and collective resurrection shaped the Soviet project and the avant-garde as much as faith or ideology did; the book examines key Cosmist ideas—resurrection, technoscientific utopianism, the aestheticization of future projects, the archival impulse to preserve and reanimate the past—and shows how these currents reappear in modern art, political imaginaries and contemporary debates about technology, collective subjectivity and the meaning of progress.
