The novel, which has become a classic of domestic science fiction and worried about the dreams of Mars for more than one generation of readers, now appears in its original form – in the first edition of 1922-1923, without the abbreviations and changes made by the author from ideological considerations. Open sensuality, symbolism, philosophical depth and ideological ambiguity of the early version of “Aelita” bring it out of the usual framework of romantic-adventure literature for youth. And thanks to the artistic interpretation of Igor Oleinikov, not only the heroes of the novel and the mysterious Martian landscapes gain the visible form, but also the great power that leads “through the fire and struggle, past the stars, past death” and calls through the Universe the voice of eternity: “Where are you, where are you, love? ..”
