On the Other Side of the Sky Without Stars: In Memory of Geidar Djemal

Geidar Jakhidovich Djemal — philosopher, theologian, metaphysician, geopolitical thinker, poet, and, besides that — perhaps even first and foremost — a steadfast believer in his faith as a Muslim. A prominent figure of the Moscow intellectual underground in the 1960s-80s.... One of the founders of the 'Yuzhinsky Circle'. A well-known public and political figure, founder of the Islamic Committee of Russia. The legacy of this outstanding thinker (a number of intriguing books, many video and audio recordings of lectures, conversations, speeches) — is invaluable material for both our generation and future ones. In this book, close acquaintances of Geidar Djemal — intellectuals, philosophers, politicians, writers, Muslims of various confessions and trends — reflect on his metaphysics, positions, views, and on him personally.
