Evgeny Vsevolodovich Golovin - poet and philosopher, writer and musician; philologist, theologian, mythologist; mystic and metaphysician, unsurpassed expert in hermeticism and alchemy, a man of colossal erudition, the central figure of the Moscow intellectual underground of the 60s–80s. It was thanks to him, thanks to his special presence, that this underground became involved in deep metaphysical dimensions and emerged as a unique phenomenon. Not belonging to either this time or this world, Golovin lived among the myths and philosophical discussions of ancient times, the mysticism and alchemy of the Middle Ages, the dreams and insights of great thinkers and poets, wandered across invisible continents, forgotten seas, subtle, mobile and secret spaces, revealing “ profane” grandiose prospects for a completely different, authentic existence, now unknown to almost anyone. Golovin’s extravagant behavior in the outside world - a symbiosis of sophisticated intellectualism, depravity, arrogance, dandyism and decadence - gave rise to a lot of legends and gossip... Golovin’s legacy is a number of brilliant books, articles and essays, video and audio recordings of lectures, conversations, as well as songs in a unique author’s performance - still subject to comprehension. The book presents memories and reflections about Evgeniy Golovin by people who knew him closely, including now famous philosophers, poets, scientists, and musicians.
