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. Нечаев-Мальцев, владелец стекольных заводов Гусе-Хрустальном, строил церковь для одурманенных рабочих. Когда рабочие во время забастовки 1906 года потребовали построить клуб,-хозяин им ответил: Вот этот храм вам будет клубом. Пророчество теперь сбылось). Image of workers with Soviet banners walking near a factory and a church. The flying angel on the left of the poster is Saint Nechaev-Malcev, the other one is St. Archangel. The banner they are holding reads "This temple will be your club"
