Averintsev's encyclopedic works are not only included in the golden reserve of academic knowledge: they significantly expand the historical experience of overcoming totalitarian ideocracy. The world of Averintsev refutes the misanthropic generalization with which, according to Brodsky, modern Odysseus addresses his son: "Telemachus, all the islands look alike when you wander for so long." Today, the wandering through the articles of Averintsev surprises not only with a rare and for more hospitable epochs variety, but in addition to all its own qualities - the impressive absence of the slightest traces in his texts of that all-pervading atmosphere of murderously monotonous, ugly "prose" of party-state speeches that set the tone and opened all dissertations and dictionaries, any "scientific apparatus". Do not believe it, but only a typo, typographical gaffe (eloquent replacement alone letters: instead of "Patria with matic" - "Patrie ofticheskiy ”) recalls the specifics of censorship in the second half of the 60s, the time when Averintsev's key work about St. Sophia of Kiev was created. In a difficult dispute with the "spirit of the times", hundreds of articles by Averintsev open up new horizons of this inexhaustible world. We must listen to these words. I dare not add anything. The word "cap" is a word very commonly applied to a person who is a leader in war or in peace, although this word is different from a number of other concepts, for example, from the concept of a judge so important in the book of Judges, or from the concept of a king ... In what we have heard, there is learning for us and there is a mystery. And for the secret, we must also thank God!
