Щоденникові записи, 1939-1956 / Дневниковые записи, 1939-1956 Quotes

“I will die in Moscow, not seeing Ukraina. Before death, I will ask Stalin to extract my heart, just before I am burnt in the crematory, from my chest and bury it in my native land, in Kyiv, somewhere above the Dnipro on the mountain-hill. Fate, send happiness to people on this ruined and bloodstained land!
Disappear, hatred! Evanesce, poverty!”
― Олександр Довженко, Щоденникові записи, 1939-1956 / Дневниковые записи, 1939-1956
