This article analyzes some texts by central authors of Russian cosmism extracted from the anthology made by the compiler Boris Groys in its Spanish version published by Caja Negra Editora with translation by Fulvio Franchi. Based on the analysis, the central concepts of the intellectual movement called Russian cosmism are exposed, whose development begins in the 19th century with the work of Fiodorov and extends until approximately the middle of the 20th century. Ideological relationships are raised with the Soviet project and the future of global science, politics and culture during the 20th century and up to the present.
