Geodesic mappings of Riemannian spaces onto semisymmetric equiaffine spaces and Riemannian spaces are studied. The author proves that compact semisymmetric Riemannian spaces of nonconstant curvature and non-Einsteinian Ricci-semisymmetric Riemannian spaces do not admit non-trivial global geodesic mappings. He finds new classes of equiaffine spaces which do not admit non-trivial geodesic mappings onto Riemannian spaces. Such spaces are determined, up to an affine transformation, by the configuration of their geodesic lines.
