“Wait for Me
Wait for me, and I'll return
Only wait very hard
Wait when you are filled with sorrow...
Wait in the sweltering heat
Wait when the others have stopped waiting,
Forgetting their yesterdays.
Wait even when from afar no letters come to you
Wait even when others are tired of waiting...
And when friends sit around the fire,
Drinking to my memory,
Wait, and do not hurry to drink to my memory too.
Wait. For I'll return,defying every death.
And let those who do not wait say that I was lucky.
They will never understand that in the midst of death,
You with you waiting saved me.
Only you and I know how I survived.
It's because you waited, as no one else did.”

“Другой вопрос, что даже в самых сложных условиях существует еще и ответственность общества, когда оно по ходу своей истории вручает слишком обширную власть в руки одного человека. И, не снимая с этого человека ни единой доли ответственности за все его деяния, праведные и неправедные перед лицом истории, нельзя забывать и об ответственности общества, о нашей собственной ответственности за то положение, которое занял этот человек”
