 H-Net Review: Shoshana Keller on The Occult in Russian and Soviet Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Since the surviving texts are few and enigmatic, Young winds up quoting rather extensively from secondary sources that are close to Fedorov's ideas or that Fedorov might have read, needlessly confusing the reader.
Cosmism, especially the "biocosmism" variant championed by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935), expands Fedorov's ideas to create an anthropocentric universe, in which mankind (women figure very little here) is evolving toward self-perfection through science and technology.
This constellation of ideas--universal resurrection, future perfection brought about by human science, collective participation in the common task, and Tsiolkovsky's vision of exterminating all "defective" humans, animals, and plants--bears a striking resemblance to the mythos of Soviet Communism.
