This interview with Anya Bernstein, Professor of Anthropology at the Harvard University, the author of books on immortality and transhumanism in Russia, focuses on her new research — ethnography of the Pleistocene Park in Yakutia. The anthropologist Denis Sivkov discusses the context of this study and the main ideas of the Zimovs, father and son, creators of the park, about the ecosystem restoration — the mammoth steppe, the revival of species and the preservation of permafrost. The interview considers a broader context — the concepts of Russian cosmism and the issues of regulating nature, immortality and resurrection.
