This might interest you. It seems that Evald Ilyenkov did not endulge into eugenic phantasies as some other cosmists (though I don't know his stance on the purges in the Soviet Union). On his russian wikipedia page I found this small paragraph: "Since the late 1960s, Ilyenkov participated in the experiments conducted by A. I. Meshcheryakov at the Zagorsky boarding school for deaf-blind children (now Sergiev Posad). Ilyenkov wrote a number of works in which he substantiated that even the blind and deaf from birth can eventually become full-fledged members of society with the proper method of upbringing and education. One of his students, the deaf-blind A. V. Suvorov, managed to graduate from the Psychology Department of Moscow State University and subsequently defended his PhD and doctoral dissertations."
Dreams (Мечты): ruclips.net/video/KKHvuWBa7IE/видео.html Night unleashes snow Empty city, we are alone Alone, like light through windows Like beating hearts, ice melting I want to do it for tomorrow In thick swirling winds Close to time pulsating Beyond beyond and nothing else Raise your eyes horizons To the stars, to the heavens Alone there, the whole someone else Comet soaring, we are alone I want to do it in this darkness Look at the heavens and be forever Part of the dream, dreaming from the dream The feelings of the eternal call May you, yours, and everyone in your paths always have blessed dreams!
I heavily advise you to read "The Bull's Hour" by Yefremov. Though it may be unavailable in English, unfortunately. It sums up a lot of cosmists view and mixes them with the general communist ideas with a huge Yungian and Frankfurt school influx. Also minus eugenics
I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand that quickly. A lot of this is early 20th century science fiction and should be viewed in that milieu. Compare HG Wells War of the Worlds, a very cosmist book in its own right, which has a lot of suspect scientific and political viewpoints but none of which diminish its thought provoking value.
Not BS. Many of these men were at the forefront of medical, theological, and rocket technology. If I remember correctly one was the leading founder and leading figure for Soviet Russia's space program and another was a pioneer and early advocate of blood transfusions. Certainly not men who should be taken lightly and definitely worthy of discussion with the dawn of synthetic biology.
What exactly is supposed to be infantile about this? From the moment I found out about this ideas I was deeply in love with it. Apart from the eugenics of course.

@@ket_boofer not necessarily, you don’t need selective breeding for transhumanism. Genetic engineering, cybernetic implants and advanced pharmaceuticals can do a much better job.

It is impressive that so many creative types were drawn to this philosophy.

Night unleashes snow
Empty city, we are alone
Alone, like light through windows
Like beating hearts, ice melting
I want to do it for tomorrow
In thick swirling winds
Close to time pulsating
Beyond beyond and nothing else
Raise your eyes horizons
To the stars, to the heavens
Alone there, the whole someone else
Comet soaring, we are alone
I want to do it in this darkness
Look at the heavens and be forever
Part of the dream, dreaming from the dream
The feelings of the eternal call
May you, yours, and everyone in your paths
always have blessed dreams!
Thanks. I hope you'll keep it up!

@@wobblebottom3632Can you explain exactly what you mean by “theological technology”
A cautionary tale 🤔
Infantile fantasies for the future. 🖖
