Quote of the week

History is the nightmare from which I’m trying to awake.

James Joyce

W31, 2023.07.31-08.04

History is supposed to liberate us not only from the undesirable influence of ancient times, but also from the undesirable influence of the present.

John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton,
istoric și om politic englez

W29, 2023.07.17-07.21

It always seems impossible until it is done.

Nelson Mandela

W28, 2023.07.10-07.14

In Moscow they do not pay much attention to the living but keep their cemeteries in a splendid state.

George Mikes

W27, 2023.07.03-07.07

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

Yakov Smirnoff

W26, 2023.06.26-06.30

It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future

Niels Bohr

W25, 2023.06.19-06.23

History is a race between education and catastrophe

H.G. Wells

W24, 2023.06.12-06.16

I guess the only time most people think about injustice is when it happens to them.

Charles Bukowski

W23, 2023.06.05-06.09

The degree to which we underestimated Ukraine is only equaled by the degree to which we overestimated Russia.

Jonathan Hendrixson

W22, 2023.05.29-06.02

God created war so that Americans would learn geography

Mark Twain

W21, 2023.05.22-26

In a theatre it happened that a fire started off stage. The clown came out to tell the audience. They thought it was a joke and applauded. He told them again, and they became still more hilarious. This is the way, I suppose, that the world will be destroyed-amid the universal hilarity of wits and wags who think it is all a joke.

Soren Kierkegaard

W20, 2023.05.15-19

If you are going through hell, keep going.

Winston Churchill

W19, 2023.05.08-12

Ukraine is my country. Russian is my mother tongue. I wish I was saved by Puskin. To be freed of suffering and restlessness, also by Puskin. By Puskin, not Putin.

Facebook post belonging to a Russian woman living in Kiev.

W17, 2023.04.24-28

What we have today in Russia is not some kind of surprise. It’s not some kind of deviation from a historical pattern. Way before NATO existed—in the nineteenth century—Russia looked like this: it had an autocrat. It had repression. It had militarism. It had suspicion of foreigners and the West. This is a Russia that we know, and it’s not a Russia that arrived yesterday or in the nineteen-nineties. It’s not a response to the actions of the West. There are internal processes in Russia that account for where we are today.

Stephen Kotkin, hystorian

W16, 2023.04.17-21

Moscow political joke contest. First prize: 15 years.

Urban folklore

W14, 2023.04.03-07

You really did not understand anything? Don’t understand who we are? What are we for? What are we talking about? Read my lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you. Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as scary and deadly for us as your ‘friendship and brotherhood’. But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food … and without you!

Volodimir Zelenski

W13, 2023.03.27-31
