Does anyone care about this any more? Show me -- who? It hasn't been useful or interesting to anyone for a long time. Our country doesn't exist any more, and it never will, but here we are ... old and disgusting ... with our terrifying memories and poisoned eyes. We're right here! But what's left of our past?

The uprising I witnessed terrified me for the rest of my life; I know what it looks like when freedom falls into inexperienced hands. Idle chatter always ends in blood. War is a wolf that can come to your door as well....

Everything was simpler in our old life: one pair of boots for all seasons, one coat, one pair of pants. We were raised like young warriors in ancient Sparta: If the Motherland called, we'd sit on a hedgehog for her.

Our era is evil. Empty. We're drowning in flashy rags and VCRs. Where is our great country? The way we are now, we'd never triumph over anyone: Gagarin wouldn't have even gotten off the ground.

A communist is someone who's read Marx, an anticommunist is someone who's understood him.
