This book contains a training course of homotopical topology and its numerous applications, which at one time has become the first similar course in Russian literature. Among the main topics raised in the book: theory of cellular complexes, homotopical groups, homology and claw, method of spectral sequences, homotopical properties of diversity. The form accessible to a wide range of readers tells about the place and role of homotopical topology in modern mathematics and physics. The reader who has mastered the course will be able to freely navigate in the special scientific literature.

The book is illustrated by drawings made by A. T. Fomenko. These drawings are not accurate images of theorems or topological constructions. This is only an attempt to informed some topological ideas and associations generated by beautiful and deep theorems of homotopical topology. Some illustrations are humorous.
