The paper treats geodesic mappings of quasi-Einstein spaces with gradient defining vector. Previously the authors defined three types of these spaces. In the present paper it is proved that there are no quasi-Einstein spaces of special type. It is demonstrated that quasi-Einstein spaces of main type are closed with respect to geodesic mappings. The spaces of particular type are proved to be geodesic $D$-symmetric spaces.

The paper treats properties of pseudo-Riemannian spaces admitting non-trivial geodesic mappings. A symmetric pair of pseudo-Riemannian spaces is a pair of spaces with coinciding values of covariant derivatives for their Riemann tensors. It is proved that the symmetric pair of pseudo-Riemannian spaces, which are not spaces of constant curvatures, are defined unequivocally by their geodesic lines. The research is carried out locally, using tensors, with no restrictions to the sign of the metric tensor and the signature of a space.
