Timothy Snyder
“During the years that both Stalin and Hitler were in power, more people were killed in Ukraine than anywhere else in the bloodlands, or in Europe, or in the world.”
Timothy Snyder, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

Peter Pomerantsev
“The Kremlin idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside its walls.”
Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia

Галина Пагутяк
“Єдина свобода на цьому світі – це свобода творця. Але творців катастрофічно бракує. Дехто навіть не здогадується про силу, котра дрімає в ньому, пробиваючись крізь сон життя.”
Галина Пагутяк, Сни Юлії і Германа. Кенізберзький щоденник

Peter Pomerantsev
“On the Ostankino channels the President's personal confessor, the Archimandrite Tikhon, dressed in a long black cassock and walking through Istanbul, is telling a prime-time tale about the fall of Byzantium, of how the great Orthodox Empire (to which Russia is the successor) was brought low by a mix of oligarchs and the West. Professional historians howl in protest at this pseudo-history, but the Kremlin is starting to use religion and the supernatural for its own ends. Byzantium and Muscovy could only flourish under one great autocrat, the Archimandrite states. This is why we need the President to be like a tsar.”
Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia

Anne Applebaum
“Most of the time, however, the cruelty of Soviet camp guards was unthinking, stupid, lazy cruelty, of the sort that might be shown to cattle or sheep.”
Anne Applebaum, Gulag: A History
