The latter is threefold: the universal bodily resurrection of the dead, attaining immortality, and finally the colonisation of space; all thanks to future advancement of science and technology. In his films, Vidokle analyses the influence of Russian Cosmism on the twentieth century and gauges its relevance for today. The\u0026nbsp;development of Cosmist ideas were brought to an abrupt end by Stalin\u0026rsquo;s 1930s purges, in which many of the movement\u0026rsquo;s followers were imprisoned or executed.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eToday, interest in the projects and ideas of Russian Cosmism is revived through philosophical tendencies that are intertwined with technological thought.
