Relation To Russian History
- Joseph Stalin is depicted as an infernal person - something like a beta version of Antichrist.
- The conspirologial legend of "Elder Fyodor Kuzmich" is cited in this book (though not invented by Andreev). According to this legend, the Russian king Alexander I did not die in Taganrog, but instead left his crown and the status of monarch to continue his life as a travelling hermit.
- 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.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, russian and/or history:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Watching a woman make Russian pancakes, you might think that she was calling on the spirits or extracting from the batter the philosopher’s stone.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
