Fedoroff is the illegitimate son of a duke, born in the same year as Tolstoy (1828). After graduating from high school, he entered Odessa aristocratic school to study. 1852 had a heated argument with a teacher during the graduation exam and left school angrily. From 65438 to 0854, Fedoroff worked as a history teacher in several middle schools. Because of his unique teaching method, he advocates that knowledge can be obtained by directly studying local geography and history, observing planets and conducting field experiments without being limited by textbooks. He often conflicts with the school authorities, so he often changes schools. 1867 Walk to Moscow. From 65438 to 0874, he worked as a librarian in Rumiantsev Library (the predecessor of Lenin Library) for 25 years. 1903 is dead. He is an original thinker, the founder of a unique philosophical system and the boldest utopia in the history of human thought development, and the earliest founder of cosmology in Russia. Fedoroff has profound knowledge and extensive reading history. It is said that he knows almost all the books in the library of Rumiantsev. He is proficient not only in major European languages, but also in many oriental languages including Chinese. He has profound attainments in philosophy, natural science and art, and is called an encyclopedia. His erudition is regarded as a standard in the intellectual circles in Petersburg and Moscow, and even makes him a legend.

Even more surprising is Fedoroff's philosophy. This ordinary librarian is unique and unique, and even put forward an earth-shattering plan of "regulating nature", which includes controlling nature, transforming the human body, entering the universe, finally defeating death and resurrecting ancestors. He called the realization of this plan "* * * the same cause" of all mankind.

The first step of "regulating nature" is to control nature. Fedoroff asserted that when human beings have not become the masters of nature, nature is a blind destructive force, and it is the enemy of all people. Once we master it, it will become our friends forever. The way to control nature is to adjust the climate, control the earth's motion, magnetism and solar energy, let wind and rain work for us, and turn the solar system into productive forces. Tolstoy agreed with this. He wrote: "I know nothing about the movement of clouds, so the rain did not fall back to the sea, but fell where it was needed." I have never read it, but I think it is not impossible. Everything done in this direction is a good thing. This is an application of Nikolai Fedorovici's cosmology, and I always agree with it. In other words, this is a cause worthy of hard work and a cause of all mankind. " Fedoroff believes that in the process of regulating nature, people should also transform their bodies, including physiology and psychology. We should make use of all inventions to seek a "new human body". Such people should be transparent to each other and have a reasonable nutritional system. Some artificial organs can be used to replace the original organs. Fedoroff proposed that human activities should not be confined to one planet. The means of life on a planet are inexhaustible, so death is inevitable. The only way out is to go out of the earth, fly to the universe and get a new place to live. Fedoroff was the first Russian who proposed to conquer the universe. Tsiolkovsky, the "father of astronautics" in the Soviet Union, often went to the Lumiantsev Library when he was young, and got a lot of advice from Fedoroff. His later scientific research included the influence of Fedoroff's "Cosmological Philosophy".

Overcoming death and reviving ancestors from generation to generation is the ultimate goal of Fedoroff's plan. He called this the highest stage of morality, the highest mission of mankind, the greatest responsibility and the greatest happiness. To do this, we must first awaken the younger generation's love and moral responsibility for their ancestors, establish ancestor worship and restore human affection. In Fedoroff's works, the discussion on morality and responsibility occupies a large space, which Tolstoy appreciates most and arouses him most. As for the specific method of bringing the dead back to life, Fedoroff advocated starting with uncovering the mystery of heredity. His idea is to restore the human body by collecting atoms and particles from the dead. Thought and consciousness are the attributes of matter. With the body, consciousness can be restored. "... the human body is a machine. When the machine is assembled, consciousness will return to it!
