An outstanding figure, a great thinker, writer and public figure, and simply an « Übermensch », writes a study entitled “The Open Way to Universal Peace and Prosperity.” The Deep state in Europe are spreading this work throughout the world, hoping to use it for their own purposes in the future. This work gives them the opportunity to offer the «Übermensch» to become the lifelong President of the United States of Europe (or Emperor of Rome). He then takes on the reform of Christianity by convening an Ecumenical Council. At the council, the Antichrist demonstrates his true attitude towards Jesus Christ. The end of the Antichrist's power will be brought about by a Jewish revolt, and the final destruction of his armies will be caused by a volcanic eruption in the Dead Sea region. Thus, the «Übermensch» was unable to defeat the “last enemy” death.

Слайд 6: Main idea and moral

The main idea echoes the main idea of ​​the three conversations The first conversation concerns the topic of war. Although Solovyov recognizes evil in war, since war involves murder, he nevertheless believes that war can be just. The second conversation is devoted to the topic of progress, which is seen in the desire for international peace, getting rid of bloodthirsty savagery in favor of civilization ("peaceful policy is a symptom of progress"). The third conversation concerns the Antichrist. Analyzing the manifestations of progress, Solovyov notes that death and evil still persist in the world. Evil manifests itself not only on an individual or social level, but also on a physical level. And salvation from this evil is possible only with the help of higher powers, namely, resurrection. And the Antichrist defeated the first three horsemen of the apocalypse but could not overcome the fourth, death.

124 years after its publication, this story has become more relevant than ever. After all, human progress has already made immortality possible ( with the help of AI and creating a digital clone using a digital imprint of a person ), and the universal unity of humanity through the Internet. And when the “coming man” appears, many governments and parties will bow before him. After all, in the short term, it will bring them a lot of benefits. And they don’t care about the next era.
