But the course of world history is not created in the offi ces of modern politicians. The milestones of the coming evolution are formed by the thought which is consonant with the divine Beauty, this idea is dedicated to one of the last works of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – philosophical story-parable Citadel. The heights of the human spirit, which were the basis of the Citadel, were amazingly accordant with the ideas of the book Parting Words to the Leader, a little earlier created on the Himalayan heights.
