This episode is dedicated to the outstanding German novelist Erich Maria Remark. He had an unusual fate. When he was a 17-year-old boy who had just graduated from high school, he went to the front and was wounded five times. After the war, he worked as a teacher in a province and then moved to Berlin. After the death of his mother, Remark took her name as his second name. To meet everyday needs, he was ready for any job. Teacher, racer, worker in the field of trade, editor, journalist – these are specialties that are reflected in the images of his characters.

The “last times” phenomenon and awareness of it. Antichrist and other manifestations of evil in humanity. The knowledge of God must come with the knowledge of the truneness of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The essence of God's love.
