“But once, when she was singing his praises, her mother interrupted 'No, no, I've seen too many young people like that - both when I was a student in Petersburg and when I was in exile in Siberia. They just don't know how to reconcile love of humanity and love for an actual person.”
― Vasily Grossman, Stalingrad
