https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2026-1-1590
Abstract
Aim. To reveal the idea content of a global society in Russian cosmism, to assess the importance of universal co-operation for Russian cosmists, and to reconstruct their social-political views.
Methodology. The main method is a political-textual analysis. The study is based on works of Russian cosmists (N. Fedorov, V. Muravyov and K. Tsiolkovsky) and modern research on Russian cosmism and global cohesion concept.
Results. In the article, Russian cosmism is described as a unique trend in social-political thoughts, and its key features are highlighted. One of these features is the emphasis on the importance of universal unity and cooperation. On example of the social-political ideas of Russian cosmists and their proposed ways to create a new global society, a critical attitude of Russian cosmism towards social stratification is demonstrated in the article.
Research implications. The research explores the ideas of Russian cosmists in the context of solving some of the most pressing modern issues, such as lack of cooperation among states and the extremely high level of social conflictogenicity. Thus, it demonstrates the relevance of Russian cosmism and underlines social and political content of Russian cosmists’ ideas.
