The author shows how easily ideas can turn into a tool of terror, and how the loss of faith leads to the collapse of civilization. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the mechanisms of history and the dangers that lurk in the modern world.

The author does not overwhelm the reader with images of the horrors that the French Revolution brought to the French, although we find here a mention of these horrors. Undoubtedly, the revolutionaries proved by their actions that ideas are killed by eliminating their followers, who try to implement these ideas, reviving them. To kill the old pre-revolutionary world, especially its ideal dimension, free from implementation errors, it was necessary to exterminate those who constituted this world, who believed in the system of values ​​that founded it. That's what happened.

The revolution, however, began much earlier and did not begin on the guillotines, but in the heads of the French elites, who slowly but consistently departed from the faith of their ancestors. Before this revolution broke out, most of the French elite had stopped believing in God, believing that faith was good as a method of keeping the people in obedience. This book is a story about the dying of ideas and the dying of faith first in the heads of the followers, and then only the dying of people on the streets and squares. It is also a story about what happens when a man turns away from God and religion, and throws himself into the arms of a primitive ideology of godlessness and barbarism created by himself.
