Summary/Abstract: The characters of the rational utopia by Ivan Efremov feel an irrational attraction to distant worlds. This allows us to reveal the relationship between Efremov’s fantasy and the neo--mythological novel of modernism. One of the sources of Efremov’s imagery was the book Agni Yoga, published anonymously in Paris by the Roerichs. Nostalgia for the distant worlds becomes a nostalgia for the free world and the pre-revolutionary past of Russia.
