Abstract
The article includes one of the possible philosophical and aesthetical interpretations of the basic metaphysical meaning of A. Sokurov’s tetralogy. Expressed by entirely artistic means, the Moloch of power, being irrational chthonic force, governs not only its earthly bearers (leaders), but the very «Prince of the world» changing lately as useless for the new irrational bearers of the Faust-like satirical epoch of our anthropogenic civilization.
