The life of physicist, historian of science and a major scientific administrator Sergei Ivanovich Vavilov (1891-1951) is unusual. Perhaps, when viewed from the 21st century, his scientific achievements and his heroic, heroic activities as president of the Academy of Sciences (which, moreover, took place during the years of the shameful defeat of genetics and other similar ideological campaigns) may no longer seem too significant. However, the recently published personal diary, which Academician Vavilov secretly kept for many years, reveals a surprising new dimension of his intellectual life. In it, historical reality is juxtaposed with a world of dreams, daydreams, and reflections on profound questions of consciousness, faith, and death. In his book, historian of science Andrei Vasilyevich Andreev describes this unexpected side of S. I. Vavilov's personality and makes an attempt to explore his original philosophy.
