Dedication page quote:
“You are lucky, Alexander Konstaninovich. A few centuries ago your forebears were still running around covered in animal skins, while I too often feel the weight of the centuries of my people’s ancient culture, and it suffocates me.” - Babel to friend who was executed by USSR in 1937 (Babel also in 1940).
