Joseph Stalin
“A cadre must know how to carry out instructions, must understand them, adopt them as his own. attach the greatest importance to them, and make them part of his very existence. Otherwise, politics loses its meaning and consists merely of gesticulating. Hence the decisive importance of the cadres department in the apparatus of the Central Committee. Every functionary must be closely studied, from every angle and in the most minute detail.”
Joseph Stalin, Collected Works. Volume 5

Sana Krasikov
“Their courtship unfolded in two settings, a Russian reality overlaid with New York memories”
Sana Krasikov
