Soviet Russian Quotes

“I've played Romeo for Juliet
(But in depth)
It's vignettes of silhouettes
(And then read)
And watched Russian roulette, yeah red Soviet
Yet doing it simultaneously
While dropping down shed oubliettes
Turned around and took truth to the head that
Love is the ugliest thing too beautiful for death”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“By 1937 Soviet standards, mementos of Russian history before the 1917 revolution were irrelevant. Even the suggestion that china, jewelry, or furniture created for the imperial palaces of the tsars was worth more than its weight in gold might be construed as anti-Soviet propaganda.”
― Nancy Rubin Stuart, American Empress: The Life and Times of Marjorie Merriweather Post
