SUMMARY
A renowned paleontologist, Ivan Antonovich Efremov (1908–1972) is best known as a leading Soviet science fiction writer, author of the uto­pian novel «The Andromeda Nebula», the anti-utopian «The Bull’s Hour», as well as a number of historical novels.
We can find many contradictory influences in Ivan Efremov’s Wel­tanschauung from social utopianism and eugenics to mystical anarchism, from Nietzscheanism to Theosophy, mystical oriental teachings, Hinduism and Buddhism. However, it does not look eclectic: from the scattered ideas and views of the past and present, he gathered a new Weltanschauung, which he considered to be, perhaps, a Weltanschauung of the future.
The egalitarian-utopian ideal fancifully uniting with Nietzscheanism gave rise to a peculiar version of «Left Nietzscheanism» that is the dream of «anti-empire», a community of intelligent, physically and spiritually perfect superhumans willing to help weaker individuals and communities to elevate them selflessly to their level. A similar ideal was formed during the «thaw» period as the antithesis of Stalinism, whose ideology and practice caused I. Efremov horror and loathing.
The concept of inferno seems to be a combination of the ideas of Buddhism and evolutionary biology, more precisely, a look at evolutionary biology through the lens of Buddhist ethics. At the same time, it has an im­plicit but distinct political aspect: the closeness of state borders, obstacles to the exchange of ideas, books and people are defined as evil, and man-made and conscious evil exercised by the ruling group interested in isolation in order to preserve their imperfect social structure.
But by the end of the 1960s it was found that Efremov’s worldview did not fully coincide with any of the main ideologies of Soviet society (and at the same time partially coincided with all of them): he was separated from Stalinism and official ideology (as well as from Russian nationalism imbued with the ideas of «statehood») a sharp condemnation of state vi­olence and totalitarian statehood, suppression of sexuality, from liberalism that is the lack of snobbery towards the people and a hostile attitude to­wards the «jubilant and idle chatting» intellectuals, hypocritically complain­ing oppression of the authorities and at the same time helping the authori­ties to suppress the people.
The cooling of relations I. Efremov with the Strugatsky brothers in the mid-1960s (as well as their rapprochement in the early 1960s) is ex-
123
plained, in our opinion, not by chance and not by temporary misunderstand­ing, but by the deep ideological differentiation of the Soviet intelligentsia in the second half of the 1960s, perhaps not always realized by even the direct participants of this process.
During the first and second «thaws», while the «progressive» move­ment was poorly differentiated and its main opponent was Stalinism, Efre­mov did not experience any significant friction with the «liberals». I. Efremov and the Strugatsky brothers worked closely together, discussed each other's works, and found complete mutual understanding. But by the mid-1960s the «progressive» movement began to differentiate, liberalism becomes an independent trend. Dreaming not about partial reforms, but about a complete transformation of society, Efremov was in this respect more radical than both the loyalists and the liberals. At the same time, Efremov’s egalitarianism, painted in ascetic tones, resonated with the offi­cial ideology, the appeal to spirituality and romanticism with nationalism, the denial of totalitarianism with liberalism. In particular, it was possible to dislike Efremov from the liberals and bring them closer to their opponents by disliking the cities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, anti­consumerism, etc. Reflecting on the global problems of mankind, the mis­sion of science in modern society and the possibility of a harmonious syn­thesis of Western technology and Eastern spirituality, Efremov expressed ideas consistent with the ideas of the Club of Rome and the Frankfurt School, A. Huxley and A. Solzhenitsyn.
I. Efremov’s views on art are also irreducible to the position of the «liberals», the position of the Russian nationalists, or the official Soviet ideology: he admired the Russian poetry of the Silver Age, especially N. Gumilyov and M. Voloshin’s works, the oriental prose of H.R. Haggard and Anglo-American science fiction, but hostile attitude to such representa­tives of the art of modernism as P. Picasso and F. Kafka.
Esotericism and occultism were an important aspect of the I. Efremov’s Weltanschauung, combined with left-wing utopianism and evolutionistic ideas. But, reading and spreading the work of occultists and esoterics, banned in the USSR, I. Efremov approached them critically. I. Efremov’s interest in occultism and esotericism was one of the ways to reconnect with the cultural tradition of the Russian Silver Age, but at the same time correlated with the spiritualistic tendencies in the Western cul­ture of the 1950s – 1970s – the emergence of the New Age movement and counterculture.
124
This led to Efremov’s difficult relationship with the main socio­literary «parties» of the 1960s and his rapprochement, partly for pragmatic reasons, with some of the leaders of the «Russian party» (whose ideas he was far from fully accepting, like them, the Efremov’s ideas, although both sides needed each other).
The rapprochement of I. Efremov in the late 1960s with the «Russian Party», it was probably facilitated by its hostile attitude towards Jews. Un­fortunately, he shared the prevailing still, apparently, in the 1920s xeno­phobic stereotype «businessman» and «slyboots», but in his works he con­sidered it necessary to maintain a balance of positive and negative evalua­tions of the Jewish people, their religion and culture. These negative as­sessments, in turn, led to Efremov’s accusations of racism and «proto­nazism», which cannot be considered fair and justified.
Unfortunately, today, the Efremov’s works is understood for the most part superficially and one-sidedly, as the author of sci-fi and historical­adventure novels for teenagers and young people. It is possible that «ae­sopes language» and the excessive ciphering of ideas, which he expounded in his novels, played a cruel joke with Ivan Efremov. And if political mili­tants of different colors are taken to interpret Efremov’s works, the empha­sis is almost always on those ideas of the writer, which are consonant with the corresponding ideology, while other ideas are simply ignored, and the writer's works are pulled out of the time context when they were created. Thus, Ivan Efremov was a recognizing, but largely misunderstanding writer during his lifetime, remains a recognizing, but misunderstanding writer and thinker in our day.
