"Prophet of the XXth century."
- Description
- "Prophet of the XXth century." Nechaev-Maltsev, the owner of Gus-Khrustalny glass factories, built a church for stupefied workers. When the workers during the strike of 1906 demanded to build a club, the owner replied: "This temple will be your club." The prophecy has now been fulfilled. (Пророк 20-го века.
