“So you see, only a very fine distinction separates us. We are required to concretize the eventuality: in the interest of discrediting for the future any idea of opposition, we are required to accept as having taken place what could only theoretically have taken place. After all, it could have, couldn’t it?”

“Then again, some of us are very good at saying—and a shadow flits over our faces—‘WeII, yes, certain errors were committed.’ Always the same disingenuously innocent, impersonal form: ‘were committed’—only nobody knows by whom, You might almost think that it was by ordinary workers, by men who shift heavy loads, by collective farmers. Nobody has the courage to say: ‘The Party committed them!’ Our irremovable and irresponsible leaders committed them!’ Yet by whom, except those who had power, could such errors be ‘committed’? Lump all the blame on Stalin? Have you no sense of humor? If Stalin committed all these errors—where were you at the time, you ruling millions?”
