- Joseph Stalin is depicted as an infernal person - something like a beta version of Antichrist.

- Reconstruction of the Moscow duchy by the prince Dmitry Donskoy, which restored the Russian state after the Mongol invasion, is depicted as the birth of the Russian witzraor.

“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
