Даниил Андреев — теоретик и практик мистицизма

Lecture by Ekaterina Ratnikova 2021 marks the 115th anniversary of the birth of Daniil Andreev, a mystic poet and one of the greatest Russian philosophers of the 20th century. On his birthday, November 2, Ekaterina Ratnikova will discuss the origins of Andreev's worldview, his circle, and the general spiritual atmosphere of the first third of the century, the mystical communities of Moscow, and the history of the religious and philosophical treatise "The Rose of the World"—a book that reinterprets all previous mythmaking and presents world history as a single mystical flow. In 1947, Daniil Andreev was arrested and spent nearly ten years in prison, most of it in Vladimir Prison, where his major work was born. Thanks to his wife, Alla Alexandrovna, who guarded his manuscripts for thirty years, the first complete edition of "The Rose of the World" was published in 1991. Ekaterina Ratnikova is a literary scholar and tour guide of literary Moscow.
