    “Патриотизм в самом простом, ясном и несомненном значении своем есть не что иное для правителей, как орудие для достижения властолюбивых и корыстных целей, а для управляемых — отречение от человеческого достоинства, разума, совести и рабское подчинение себя тем, кто во власти.

    ― Лев Николаевич Толстой
