“Plenty of trite and doctrinaire verse, and plenty of bombastic and rhetorical verse, has come out of the communist world, but those who rest happily when they reach this point of discovery are deceiving themselves, since some of the finest poetry of the century – in Blok, Mayakovsky, Brecht, and Neruda, to mention only these – has also come from that world, and it is high time that people in the West began to examine this poetry and its implications for our society.”
― Sovpoems: Brecht, Neruda, Pasternak, Tsvetayeva, Mayakowsky, Martynov, Yevtushenko

“The notion that successful reform can emerge exclusively from within the ruling elite belongs among Russia’s most enduring and self-perpetuating myths, shared by figures as diverse as Gorbachev and Putin. Reforms initiated from outside the elite, so the argument goes, are doomed to failure, mass violence, or both. Never mind that such reforms have often been stymied by the elite itself, fearful of losing its monopoly of power, or that numerous reforms initiated from above have failed miserably.”
