    Bengt Jangfeldt
    “Может быть, продолжает он, настало время соскоблить термин «коммунизм» с человеческой реальности Восточной Европы, дабы можно было признать в этой реальности то, чем она была и остается, — зеркало. Ибо человеческое зло всегда является таковым. Географические названия или политическая терминология дают не телескоп или окно, но отражение нас самих: человеческого негативного потенциала… то, что вы называете «коммунизмом», было человеческим падением, а не политической проблемой. Это была человеческая проблема, проблема нашего вида, и потому она имеет затяжной характер.”
    ― Bengt Jangfeldt, Språket är gud: Anteckningar om Joseph Brodsky
