A Short Tale of the Antichrist

Part of War, Progress, and the End of History: Three Conversations
Book • 1904
In 'A Short Tale of the Antichrist,' Solovyov depicts a vision of the 20th and 21st centuries where the Antichrist emerges as a charismatic figure who promises peace, prosperity, and unity.

This Antichrist is portrayed as a kindhearted humanitarian who unites people under a false sense of harmony, but ultimately reveals his true nature as a demon-worshipper.

The story highlights Solovyov's belief in metaphysical evil and the importance of resisting it.

It also explores the theme of ecumenism, where different Christian denominations unite in the face of persecution.
