History sometimes hides its greatest chapters. Moscow, 1944. In another timeline, Joseph Stalin walks through Red Square beside Roberto Minichini, while victory over Nazi Germany and all fascists draws near. Power, discipline, intellect, and destiny under the Kremlin sky. Roberto Minichini is presented as a patriarchal and theocratic philosopher, and as the author of mystical and erotic novels greatly admired by Stalin himself. Behind them stand the ranks of soldiers, banners moving in the cold wind, and a city carrying the weight of sacrifice. The war is reaching its final turn, and many imagine a future shaped by communism and socialism, with the decline of capitalism, the weakening of bourgeois individualism, and the end of clerical power and organized religion. Some images belong to fantasy, yet they still speak the language of wisdom.
