Geleitwort Bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts galt der Automobilvertrieb in Europa als ein Musterbeispiel für herstellergesteuerte Vertikale Marketing-Systeme. Er war traditionell durch indirekten Absatz auf der Basis langfristig angelegter enger vertraglicher Bindungen zwischen Hersteller und Absatzmittler charakterisiert.

The history of the manuscript that first was burnt by a friend of the author and after its restoration got lost in the era of Stalinism is highly intriguing as is the biography of its author Jakov Golosovker.

The main issue is the question to which extent modern man is in need of Jesus and whether he needs him at all. The illustration of the philosophical discussions are four scenes on the streets of Moscow where in a highly sarcastic and ironic way judgement is pronounced on the state of mind of Soviet citizens and the power of the Idea of socialism. At the same time Golosovker reacts to various political statements of his fellow writers and tries to explain how it come that Jesus finds out that he is not needed anymore in a city widely subdued to a mistaken interpretation of the Christian teachings.
