Stepun, in his book comprehends the tragedy of the First World War, its eschatological consequences for European civilization. In the interpretation of Landau, the process of transforming European culture from world and all -human to a provincial, which began before 1914, intensified during the war, a breakdown of cultural continuity occurred.
The central place in the book of Landau, published in 1923 in Berlin, is an analysis of the most important consequences of the world disaster for the West, defined by him as "material destruction", "destruction of manpower" and "moral eclipse" - establishing an atmosphere - establishing an atmosphere Hate and suspicions between the peoples of Western Europe, destructive both in economic and spiritual. Landau predicts the upcoming geopolitical and cultural changes, speaks of the dangers of the absolutization of any philosophical principle, believes that it is "ideological maximalism" "thoroughs twilight over European culture."
The book of Landau, who is called the Russian Spengler, represents one of the most interesting experiments to understand the First World War and its consequences for world culture
